Everyone in the small courtyard turned their heads in unison, looking toward Old Wu, who had just set himself up for a fall with his bold declaration.
Old Wu had been planning to quietly slip away, but he never expected to be put on the spot by everyone's collective action. With all eyes on him, he couldn't leave. His face was grim, as ugly an expression as one could imagine.
'Useless teammates, a bunch of fucking useless teammates!' Old Wu glared at the other dealers around him, cursing them in his heart.
He never would have imagined that not only would his colleagues put him on the spot, but they would also kick him while he was down!
Someone next to him spoke up. "Old Wu, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Just like Master Zhao said, you should fulfill your promise now."
More people chimed in, jeering.
"That's right, Old Wu! You swore up and down that if any Jade was cut from the scrap stone, you'd eat the rind. You have to keep your word, you can't go back on it!"
