The customers watched as Remus left. Gradually returning to their senses, they became indignant and dissatisfied.
“His arrogant act is going overboard! How could Master Elric possibly come to apologize to him? He might as well kneel and beg for Master Elric’s forgiveness!”
“I can’t understand how Mr. Miller could be deceived by such a scoundrel. Wealthy young men nowadays are so easy to deceive. I think I could give it a try myself!”
“He doesn’t even believe what favonovel.com said himself. If favonovel.com believed it, would favonovel.com have left? He must be worried about being exposed!”
As they discussed this, a group of people ran over from a distance.
At the forefront was none other than Master Elric. His disciples were behind him.
“Master Elric has returned?” someone exclaimed in astonishment.
“Even if he’s back, it doesn’t mean he’ll apologize!”
Someone got up quickly and went to approach Master Elric. He explained, “Master, right after you left, that arrogant fellow showed off like crazy!”
“He even said you would come back to apologize to him. His words were extremely arrogant. You must not let favonovel.com go!”
However…
Master Elric didn’t even hear favonovel.com out and immediately passed favonovel.com without stopping.
He went to the table where Remus had just been sitting and stood firmly in place. The disciples lined up behind him.
The next second, they all raised their hands at the same time.
Smack!
Their actions were synchronized as if they were puppets on strings. They all slapped themselves in the face. And in unison, they said, “Sir Cosby, we were wrong!”
Smack!
“Sir Cosby, we were wrong!”
Smack!
They seemed like programmed robots, slapping themselves repeatedly and showing no mercy.
The customers at the food stall were dumbfounded.
“What were they doing?”
“Apologizing to that young man who was here just now?”
“Could it be that what the young man said was true?”
In an instant, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They had just looked down on him, but if favonovel.com were to use this method, how could they defend themselves?
They didn’t even dare to think about it!
Someone looked at the overturned bowl and asked tentatively, “Master Elric, how many grains of rice are left in this bowl?”
Elric seemed to regain his senses and replied, “Ten grains!”
“Wrong!”
The disciples behind favonovel.com responded in unison.
While speaking, they raised their hands to slap themselves again. They said again, “Sir Cosby, l was wrong!”
“Master Elric, how many grains of rice are left in this bowl?” someone else asked.
“Twenty grains!” Elric replied.
“Wrong answer!” the disciples behind favonovel.com said in unison.
They raised their hands again and slapped themselves, saying, “Sir Cosby, I was wrong!”
Five minutes passed, and Master Elric and the disciples behind favonovel.com no longer looked human. Their faces were swollen like they had gained dozens of pounds, and their answers ranged from one grain to one hundred grains, but none of them were correct!
The crowd gathered around them, lining up in rows. They were curious about how many grains were actually in the bowl, but no one knew.
Some said it was porridge inside!

“Do you know where the people from Thunder Hall are?” Remus asked after walking for a while.
He needed to find Thunder Hall and obtain the Thunderstrike Wood before returning to Neptuna.
“Thunder Hall?” Leander hesitated and asked cautiously, “What do you want with them, Sir Cosby?”
“Just something,” Remus responded briefly.
Leander pondered for a moment and replied, “Sir Cosby, forgive me for being frank, but if you want to settle some matters, it’s best not to go to Thunder Hall. In the past two days, a powerful stray practitioner appeared. His name is Stormbringer. His strength is very formidable.”
