Masterbuilder's stern visage had transformed into an expression of barely contained rage as he glared at Ron and Lila, the couple who had presented work they hadn't created in a bid to succeed in the upcoming competition.
"Why, in the name of God, would you steal Shinon's creations?" Masterbuilder bellowed, unable to contain his anger any longer.
The couple exchanged anxious glances, their faces drained of colour. They knew what they had done was wrong, but they hadn't expected the Masterbuilder to lash out at them so violently.
"We didn't steal anything from anyone, sir! I swear on my future children's names!" Ron stammered. "We bought those devices from Jara!"
Lila nodded vigorously, trying her best to get out of the mess. "Yes, it's true. We purchased them from Jara! We didn't steal Shinon's work."
