Chapter 129: Exposed (Dedicated to Master He Meng and Youyou)

The final agreement roughly stated that Bentley would receive forty-one thousand silver coins, and the matter would be settled.
The Mountain Master felt frustrated by these terms, but had no way to object.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly and say, "Could you at least tell others that... you gave me some face and settled the issue?"

Bentley regarded him with a look meant for fools, "You want face, and we don't?"
"Then you tell me," the Mountain Master simply lay down flat, "what other demands do you have?"
Just as Bentley was about to speak, commotion erupted outside; the Fallen troops were attacking Houjing.
