Everyone was waiting for Lin Beichen to respond.
Lin Beichen's eyes flickered slightly, and seeing that no one recognized Zhou Yuanshou's token, he shrugged and was about to retrieve it when a commotion suddenly came from outside.
"Nie Jianghe, what's with all the noise today? You took a group of people straight to the high seas. Are you trying to create chaos?"
The voice, rich with local intonation, echoed through the hall even before the person entered.
Everyone turned their heads to see an elderly man slowly stepping forward, followed by someone with a complexion similar to Nie Hongchen.
This person was also dressed in luxurious attire and carried an air of authority. Although he seemed slightly frail, his nobility was unmistakable.
"Mr. Wang, you're exaggerating. I'm just trying to save myself. Business isn't easy these days, and everyone's influence is waning. I just wanted to stir up some commotion to attract investment."
