You wait alone in the barren fields, where you won your bet with the second son.
Kyo Ko was in charge to let the Patriarch knows you're waiting for him to settle things in a quiet way.
Kyo Ko said she was coming back and lay low ready to strike in support if need arise. So your brain tells you you're not alone. Your heart feels very so though.
Here they are. They? You expected only the Patriarch. First son is not that surprising - but the second one?
You're extremely wary.
"<span class="mu-s">Here I am.</span>
- I asked you to come alone.
- <span class="mu-s">The matter of the clan and its future concern my sons as well as me.</span>
- Very well, if you desire so much losing face in front of your sons. Daoist Golden Skystone Patriarch, you've been found guilty of betraying the Tamers of Hundred Beasts sect.
Instead of paying your dutiful tribute, you have embezzled the precious Golden Skystones and sold them to your own gains.
- <span class="mu-r">Nonsense! Father would never...</span>
- <span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Oh shut up Dan Rol. Everything's right.</span></span>
- <span class="mu-r">But...</span>
- <span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Look at Father's reaction. He's right. Now, you keep your trap shut and listen. You might learn one thing or two.</span></span>
- Are you two over? Good. As I said, you've been found guilty. We're settling things here and then. You played, you loss.
First, of course, I want the name of the guild attacking us by your proxy.
Then, the late taxes, as well as something I deem enough for the time I lost for getting here solving your little delusion of grandeur.
Of course, enough for the sect to reconsider their want to turn the village in a smudge on map.
Last, I'm getting back with him." You point your "esteemed little brother", to his greater dismay.
- <span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Bold demands. Riddle me this : why shouldn't we just off you here and now?</span></span>"
The situation immediately get tenser. Your hand shifts toward the Talisman - just in case - while the older kid raise his guard...
- <span class="mu-s">And now you're the one overstepping, Man Cong. Think. The boy is here, on his own. Why didn't I off him myself at the second he stepped on the village?
Have you seen the poweful Spirit he was riding when entering the place? Do you know what happens when you kill a cultivator bonded to a spirit?
The spirit gets free. And angry. Can you deal on your own with that Horse Spirit? Because I don't know how confident I would be, assuming it's the sole surprise offing him would reveal.
Your terms are broadly acceptable, except on two points :
First, this would put us too much on spot - our long term partners which recently turned exclusive customers will seek revenge.
So I want the sect's help in defending the village.
Second, you can't get the boy. Take the girl.</span>"
