"Well, I've just arrived at the Celestial Master Institute and am not quite clear about the situation yet. First, make a record and wait for me to verify the details. As long as the debt is truly owed by the Celestial Master Institute, I will certainly acknowledge it," Lin Shen wanted to send them away first.
They definitely knew he had no money, and pressuring him further would be pointless; they should give him some time to figure something out.
But to Lin Shen's surprise, as soon as he made his proposal, a Celestial lady from the crowd burst out, "We don't care about that! The accounts are clear; you must pay back the money today, or else we will take our dispute to the Celestial Court..."
As she spoke, someone grabbed Lin Shen, intending to drag him off to the Celestial Court.
Lin Shen immediately realized that they weren't here to collect a debt; they were here to intimidate him.
