Wei Ce had never paid much attention to the clan's affairs, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why? If they aren't willing to accept a rent increase, we can just find new tenants. Someone will surely think our rent is reasonable."
The Seventh Elder sighed. "Don't underestimate the Gray Parrot Clan. They may not have much Combat Power, but they're masters at stirring up trouble.
They've not only united with the other two tenants, but they're also trying to rally all the tenants in our Iron-eating Beast Clan's shops throughout the entire North City District.
They're spouting nonsense about how people should operate with integrity, and how we can't just follow the trend and raise rent every year with exorbitant demands. They call it dishonest and are trying to organize a collective boycott.
We're left with two choices: either leave the shops empty and unrented, or keep the rent for these few tenants at the original price.
