The wealthy merchants spoke up one after another, urging Ye Hu'an to go on stage and present a gift.
They even threatened that if Ye Hu'an did not offer a gift to express his regard for Great Emperor Ye Huan, they would no longer acknowledge Ye Hu'an as their godson.
They hoped Ye Hu'an would see the error of his ways and recognize his mistakes.
Seeing Ye Hu'an unmoved, one merchant issued a final threat: "Ye, my younger brother, I was even thinking, if Great Emperor Ye Huan attends the event, I'd take you to meet him as your godfather, to give you a broader perspective. But if you're going to be completely foolish and not even give a simple gift, you'll lose this opportunity to expand your vision, and I won't take you to meet Great Emperor Ye Huan!"
