Synopsis

The chapter opens with the Heavenly Dragon Escort Agency's meeting, where they learn that the Nokwon Pavilion is switching to the Golden Dragon Agency due to lower fees. They also discover the Nanjing Merchant Union wants to hire them to protect the Pear Flower Garden, a position traditionally held by the Golden Dragons at a high price. The agency realizes this is likely a trap to force the Golden Dragons to lower their prices, and one of the brothers proposes a counter strategy to undercut both parties and damage the Golden Dragons' profit.
