The old man from the artifact spirit race finally understood the current situation.
He finally understood why the two of them were saying such things to him. The other powerful races were definitely doing the same thing!
They were all threatening the smaller races to snatch their resources!
They knew how much effort it took for a small race to nurture someone strong enough to participate in the hunt. Those small races would definitely not be willing to let their precious geniuses die during the hunt.
Therefore, even if they were asked for large sums of resources, they could only grit their teeth and accept it. This was the way of the world, not just in the hunt, but out there as well.
The old man could already see that many other members of the smaller races were paying up with depressed expressions.
They did not have that much money on hand, but that was not a problem.
