Chapter 474 - Professional At Finding Fault (2/2)
“Let me guess! What will happen next?” Lonemoon’s smile grew colder. “You realized that since he could taste the difference in the dishes, he might be able to do the same for elixirs. Deciding to go all in, you brought them to the alchemy room, intending to let him taste the elixirs, then tell you the formula, to earn some confidential formulas of other sects?”
“…” The men were starting to break out in a cold sweat.
“Not only that, you even had the strange idea that since he had such gifts, why not let him try refining elixirs. Only you didn’t think that he did not know how to refine pills at all, not only did the refining failed, he even accidentally burned everything to the point where the entire alchemy room was destroyed.” His eyes dimmed as he glanced at the men. “Tell me, did I guess correctly?”
All the cultivators were deathly pale, looking with guilty after being exposed, their heads forced to bow by suppression.
“All of you cheated my friend, then fooled him into refining pills. And you dare to seek justice from me, how shameless!” Once Lonemoon’s words fell, his suppression went up by another level, several low level cultivators directly fell flat onto the ground.
“Supre… Supremacy calm down, calm down Supremacy!” The men who were still arrogant earlier hurriedly begged with terrified expressions. “We lost our heads at the moment, such that we committed such an immoral crime, please have mercy on us on the account that this is our first time! We won’t dare to do it again.”
The rest also began to beg, their confidence and boldness earlier all gone. They’d never expected that he would be able to see through their plans after asking a few questions.
“Have mercy?” Lonemoon sneered coldly. “Earlier on, weren’t all of you pushing to slaughter my two friends. Why are you asking to be let off lightly when it comes to you now?” Hmph, my defense won’t be in vain!
Dread rose amongst the men, that was a Soul Formation cultivator, he could turn them into ashes with a snap of his fingers. They trembled terribly and begged even louder. Something flashed in the eyes of the Golden Core cultivator in the middle and he said loudly. “We ask that Supremacy let us off for the sake… for the sake of the Qi Clan, we are merely disciples that distribute elixirs.”
“What distribute…” Lonemoon wanted to reply instinctively but felt his sleeve being tugged. His eyes dimmed before he said with slight hesitation. “Since that’s the case… I can restrain myself, but what should you do about all of you lying to my friends and cheating them of their spirit stones?”
“We’ll return them, we’ll return them.”
“Yes yes yes, these belonged to them in the first place, we were foolish.”
“Give it back, give everything back to him!”
The men visibly relaxed and immediately pulled out their storage bags and dug all the spirit stones out, their eyes secretly peeping at the few people in the middle from time to time.
As a qualified cunning businessman, Lonemoon naturally understood their look of “selling less”. Hence he added, “Oh, I forgot to let you know. The spirit stones that this friend brought out with him were borrowed from me, do count correctly.” Let’s see if you dare to give me one piece less?
The men felt their hearts sank and quickened their actions of digging, not daring to miss out any piece and even added more, simply afraid that if they didn’t match the amount correctly, they would have more to face.
Lonemoon only retracted his suppression then.
The men trembled as they finished digging out all the spirit stones. “Supremacy I promise that we will never do such an immoral thing again.”
“Mm.” Lonemoon answered.
“Then we shall not disturb Supremacy any longer, we’ll take our leave.” Everyone bowed and turned to leave.
“Hold on.” He suddenly called out.
“!!!”
