Suo Lun's words were decisive, leaving no room for gentleness or subtlety, causing a sudden halt in Haigang's thoughts.
He had staged such a grand performance to extort a great deal of benefit from Suo Lun using his daughter's death.
According to the previous alliance, Suo Lun was required to give the Hai Family thirty percent of the profits from his maritime trade every month.
Now that Hai Zhier had died at the hands of Suo Lun, this share needed to be increased to at least forty-five percent. Otherwise, Haigang would completely turn against him. In his view, faced with such an ordeal, Suo Lun had no choice but to comply.
But unexpectedly, Suo Lun made a clean break of all his retreats, leaving no room for negotiation.
By his side, Hai Wuyan said, "Father, as long as Suo Lun is killed, Zhi Li His Highness will have a reward of ennoblement."
While saying these words, Hai Wuyan's heart was filled with eagerness.
