36. TIR AND TAI HO: CLARIFICATIONS
"So let me get this straight."
"Hm?"
"You run a sketchy ferry service in your basement as well as a gambling establishment on the side. In order for anyone to go on your boat and give you money, they have to beat you in a little dice game. Now, I am fifteen years old and well under the legal gambling age in the Scarlet Moon Empire. I am also the new leader of the Liberation Army and in need of a new headquarters because I can't very well overthrow a corrupt monarchy from a sewer. So, instead of doing the country and yourself a favor, you instead chose to force me into playing your little rigged dice game, taking all my money in the process, and then only surrendering when I called you on it."
"And?"
"…I hate you so much."
