"Have both of you seen the perpetrator?"
Hearing his casual question, Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang trembled as they quickly nodded.
"Why didn't you inform me of this earlier?" the man donned in green asked in a gentle tone.
Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang were both pale as Gu Lion King replied bitterly, "We originally wanted to capture him first and then leave it to you, our Lord, to decide. This is a matter that we did not consider thoroughly. We will accept your punishment."
The man's long fingers tapped gently on his knees, while he glanced calmly at the two men. As sweat ran down their backs, he said slowly, "As you two have been following me for many years, I will let bygones be bygones this time. I will explain this to the elder so the both of you will escape punishment."
"Thank you my Lord!" Gu Lion King and Evil Fish Liang were overjoyed and immediately bowed respectfully, gratitude surging in their eyes.
