Chapter 276: Scraping Scales and Peeling Skin
These six fellows have a very effective method, whereby virtually every noble in the city would obediently pay their protection fee after being surrounded for several days. This is because the protection fee is set cleverly according to their total assets.
The amount demanded by the six bandit dragons treads a fine line in the nobles' psychology. Although significant, it doesn't cause a major dent in their wealth. Gritting their teeth, they'd still reluctantly cough it up.
The catch is, the sum to hire dragon slayers would greatly surpass the protection fee, which is why, after some hesitation, many nobles still prefer paying the fee.
Once paid, the six bandit dragons would keep their word and leave the city along with their ragtag followers, nabbing all the low-ranking monsters around the city before they depart.
