Previously, because the Five Rats were relatively lenient and demanded less money, the merchants didn't have to set harsh prices, and their average net profits were about 10%-15%. But now, with the Wild Wolf Gang extorting so ruthlessly, it led to the merchants not only making no profit but actually losing money! The more successful the business, the greater the loss!
All of a sudden, all the merchants were furious. They had thought the Wild Wolf Gang was the same as the former Five Rats and gathered together to confront them, declaring that they would no longer pay any taxes. Unfortunately, the Wild Wolf Gang, being a gang with a brutal nature, immediately broke the legs of several leaders and then threw them into the street, proclaiming that no one was allowed to touch them. They were to crawl back home on their own, and anyone who dared to help them would end up with the same fate. The Wild Wolf Gang wouldn't mind breaking their legs too.
