"Liu Wu, you... you took so much silver, why did you have to rob us too?!"
"Simple. It's faster to just take it."
"You... you bastard! I'll kill you!"
Lou Yuxue was seething.
She and Hawk had worked themselves to the bone, scheming for so long. They had lost an Iron Banner Officer and risked discovery by Black Tooth's people, all for a mere 150,000 silver.

'How... how in the world did he manage it?'

He mulled it over.
