In the dimly lit bar, a well-dressed nobleman from Dorne shook his wine glass, complaining with drunken eyes, "Isn't this just targeting us? It's too much bullying!"
They had already heard about the so-called anti-drug treaty, spearheaded by the Great Tang Empire, with the Suthers Empire having already signed it, and the Poplar Empire seemingly ready to compromise as well.
After all, the conditions offered by the Great Tang Empire were too attractive, leaving these countries little choice but to agree. Since the influence of the Black Crow hadn't yet spread to the Poplar Empire and the Suthers Empire, there was almost no pressure for the two countries to sign such a treaty.
But it was different for Dorne; as soon as the news broke, it immediately triggered a backlash. The nobility were utterly furious, stoking the flames of public discontent and almost causing an incident.
