"I wonder what you have done to draw the ire of Clan Master Qing?"
Ikasa speculated as soon as he entered the room. Recognizing the man, he purposely mocked him to stall for time.
While Hu Bei was focused on his words, he sneakily moved along the wall and approached the Serrated Sun Disc placed on the table.
Hu Bei didn't understand what Ikasa meant. Frustrated from the failure of their plan, he didn't have the patience to decipher Ikasa's insult.
He tried to attack the seemingly defenseless Ikasa, only to realize his legs were held in place by the shadows.
"What!"
Surprised by his condition, an involuntary exclamation escaped from Hu Bei's mouth.
Ikasa missed Hu Bei's struggles to free his legs because of the darkness in the room. His efforts to get to the table were also hindered by the lack of light.
So, when he heard Hu Bei exclaim, he assumed he was responding to his question.
