Hui Jian Yu glanced at King Zhang Shi Huang, who nodded in affirmation.
He continued, ''It isn't bilking to charge what the market will bear. It isn't greedy or brazen. Spikes are inflaming, especially to someone whose life has just been thrown into turmoil by a deadly storm''.

He was cut off in between by Hui Jian Yu. ''The seemingly exorbitant prices do far more good than harm''. He concluded: ''Demonizing merchandisers won't speed Meilihujiao sect's recovery. Letting them go about their business, will''.
The Chief State Councillors were all geared up. In times of emergency, the government cannot remain on the sidelines while the people are charged squandering prices as they escape for their lives or seek the basic entities for their households after a wild storm.
