Because, see, my character has been operating in this area of the city for YEARS. When the elder Toreador took domain in that area, he didn't seem to have a problem with my character operating out of it up until a recent regime change.
So when he told my character they could either pay the elder a blood tax or let him edit their broadcasts, they were pissed off. They didn't have a herd to give him and they weren't letting him mess with their artistic integrity.
