The other officials, terrified by this sudden move, crouched on the ground. Some had even lost control of their bowels. The scene in front of the city hall was one of total chaos.
"I don't want to hear any more excuses. I want to see the merchant ships today." Henry's voice thundered before the city hall, his eyes burning with fury.
'Trying to squeeze Dinars out of me? Not a chance! I have plenty of blades to go around, though!'
The other officials were stunned by Henry's resolve and decisiveness. If they delayed any longer, their fate would be unimaginable.
The Civil Servant of Gasil, in particular, frantically began directing his Record Keepers and other Civil Servants to rush and prepare the merchant ships.
'He didn't dare bet on whether Henry would actually kill him. This guy dared to murder the emperor's officials in the street—was there anything he wouldn't do?'
The citizens watched the scene from a distance, shocked by Henry's boldness and decisiveness.
