Chapter 210: Seven pussies.
The next morning came with a disappointment.
When in the distance Lee noticed seven figures, he was overjoyed at first. Unfortunately, as they approached closer, he recognized the four guys from yesterday.
This time, though, they were accompanied by three others, dressed in neat dark clothing, with shiny badges on their chests. Clearly these were enforcers of the Primordial Flame sect, and it became clear that the last night’s promise of Lee regretting his actions wasn’t an empty threat.
"Senior Brother Mori, that’s the thief!" One of the outer disciples shouted from the distance, pointing at Lee sitting next to the river, having breakfast.
Hearing the accusation Lee already guessed what would follow, but turns out they didn’t come simply to beat him up.
"Cough up the stolen artifacts and follow me to the sect where you’ll be trialed!" The leader of the group, probably the earlier mentioned Senior Brother Mori, commanded.
"You do realized that the accusations are stupid?" Lee tried to reason, "I beat them up and now they’re using you to get back at me?"
He could give the stones away and forget about the whole thing, but the problem was – the next sect who had a spatial elemental lord was far away and he’ll have to spend at least another month or even two on the road.
And that was the least of his worries. If he admitted he had stolen anything and was trialed in the sect – they would find on him the whole artifact collection that was stolen from the Celestial Abyss.
"So not only you’re a thief, you even dared to raise your hand against our disciples?" Mori got furious, "How dare you?!"
Lee had to give it to the guy, he was playing his role well.
