EIF - Book 01 Chapter 017: Trouble Stems from Inequality Rather than Scarcity

Boom!

A loud sound rang out as many Song City citizens burst the doors of another shop belonging to Gu Hai on Song City’s streets.

“Hahaha! According to the emperor’s decree, everyone can participate in destroying all of Old Demon Gu’s businesses in the Song Nation!”
