“It’s different,” Lin Bufan said calmly. “This time, I want you to kneel down willingly in front of everyone.”

Yu Huatian's lips twitched, and he interjected, "What about me? It's understandable that Cao Zhengchun knelt before you to atone for Wei Zhongxian's sins and for the Eastern Depot's sins, but the Western Depot didn't participate in the whole thing of digging up the Lin family's ancestral graves, so why should I kneel before you?"

"Look, the East Depot, the West Depot, and the electronics factory are all factories, all neatly arranged, full of a sense of ceremony."

Lin Bufan's words sounded particularly irritating, and Yu Huatian wanted to punch him.

Wait, what's an electronics factory? Is this another new institution created by the Emperor?

Yu Huatian didn't understand, but that wasn't the point. The point was that we in the East and West Factories kneel to our parents, the emperor, our ancestors, and even God. When have we ever knelt to anyone else? You, Lin Bufan, are not worthy of it.

Just as they were about to start arguing, Zhu Houzhao impatiently raised his hand and said, "Kneel down, kneel down. I order you East and West Depots to kneel down to Young Master Lin and kowtow nine times. Young Master Lin has done a good job saving me today, so you'll have to bear with it."

Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian swallowed their anger and led hundreds of people from the East and West Factories to kneel before Lin Bufan, kowtowing nine times.

Lin Bufan was very satisfied.

The surrounding officials remained silent; no one dared to laugh at the Eastern and Western Depots. If the Great Demon Lord Lin got into a bad mood and made them kneel and kowtow, things would get messy.

"My second demand is that Fuzhou shall now be under the Lin family name, and all government officials in Fuzhou shall obey my orders."

"My third request is that I want to see what the Imperial Sword looks like and have a copy to play with."

Lin Bufan's demands were increasingly outrageous, leaving everyone speechless with astonishment.
