Sibling Rivalry

"Young Master Sun, as I mentioned before, I've already made a commitment to someone else regarding the ancient scroll," Chief Pang stated, attempting to maintain a firm stance.

Imagine what would happen if the Sun family decided to stop its generous donations. Millions every year, Chief. How would the city cope with such a loss?"

Chief Pang loosened his tie, feeling the metaphorical noose tightening around him. He took a deep breath before responding, "Young Master Sun, the city is grateful for the Sun family's contributions, but we cannot compromise our principles for the sake of financial support."
