Gao Yi kept pressing forward, leaving Ieda Kunio truly cornered.
Though Kanter didn't fully understand Gao Yi's intentions, he had good instincts. Since Gao Yi was being aggressive, Kanter naturally decided to add fuel to the fire.
"You're not scared, are you?"
Kanter asked with a dismissive expression, then turned to Ieda Kunio with a fierce glare. "Are you scared or not? Speak!"
With Kanter stoking the flames, it was impossible for Nevan to stand by idly.
Anyone capable of becoming a local department head might differ in abilities, but none would be clueless about handling situations.
Nevan calmly said to Ieda Kunio, "Perhaps if you win ten rounds, you wouldn't have to pay anything. Find some people—I know San You Trading Company doesn't lack manpower, especially since they enjoy dealing with problems using blades."
The three of them joined forces in pressuring Ieda Kunio. If Ieda Kunio had any pride, he'd have had no choice but to agree.
