"Or so you say," Loki interjected, unwilling to bear the infamy of the sneak attacks unjustly.
Wandering Thief gritted his teeth as he said, "That's what happened."
He was frustrated, but Loki didn't care. In fact, he was just getting started and wouldn't be dissuaded from his plan just because Wandering Thief lacked patience for his antics.
He went on asking more questions. Then he asked even more questions.
When he was done, he said, "I've heard enough. I will swear your oath. But on one condition."
In response, Wandering Thief's heart hitched as he said, "What condition?"
"When you join my Divine Court, you must swear on your Dao Heart not to compete with me for the position of Mountain Lord."
Wandering Thief's heart immediately fell. But he kept his composure and said, "Are you sure?"
Loki immediately said, "Yes, I'm sure about it."
