The ruffians met up with the eunuch who was already wringing his wrists in impatience. When he spotted them, he scowled in displeasure.
"What took you so long? Do you think I'm as free as you? If not for the hefty sum you offered, I wouldn't even agree to this. My life is on the line here." He breathed in slowly through his nose to calm himself and then ordered the little eunuchs by his side to carry He Yuan in.
The leader of the brutes scratched his head with a dry chuckle and threw a bag of coins to the eunuch. "Apologies, he was quite squirmy. Be careful when he wakes up."
The eunuch humphed as he caught the money bag. Then he proceeded to wave his sleeves and walk away.
He Yuan was cooperative as he let himself be carried through passageways before they arrived at a stone chamber. The horrible smell hit him and he was forced to open one eye to take a peek.
