Just then, the young man burst out in fury, "Appraiser Lin, you've caused me a lot of grief. Back then, I took your consultation token and sought your advice only because I felt you were trustworthy. I thought you were a certified beast appraiser. But who knew…"
After a deep breath, he continued, "At that time, I was hesitant when it came to buying this pet beast because the seller was asking for such a high price. I come from a poor family. My parents even had to sell off our old house to raise enough money to purchase this pet beast. If you had told me this pet beast wasn't worth forming a blood pact with, I wouldn't have staked what's left of my family's fortune. Now, even with their life's worth of savings gone, my parents are comforting me, saying I could still take the exams next year. But they're penniless now. How can I still take the exams? You've ruined my family and destroyed my life!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd cast sympathetic looks at the young man.
