The Treasure Pavilion, seeing Bai Qing's reluctance, left with a parting remark:

"If you're unwilling, then we'll start our own bank. Your Dao Alliance Bank has no grounds to stop us."

Though this statement sounded reasonable, it was not without a hint of threat.

After hearing Bai Qing's account, Gu Liangyuan immediately understood why the master of the Treasure Pavilion was acting this way.
