Second Round of the Family Hierarch Evaluation, part 14 (after battle)

We noticed a group of people approaching us from a distance.

Hey, I hear coins jangling... Guess we're about to run into another candidate.

What's that fella so livid about...? I can tell that his face is bright red all the way from over here.

Indeed, despite the distance between us and the candidate, we could hear his irate tirade against his clan echoing between the walls of the hallway.

Useless fool, cowardly dullard.

I could have gained more coins had you managed to last three more miserable seconds in that pot.

I... I...

I don't need to grab anymore... what use are my hands?

My head still sits above my shoulders, but why is it there?

He's gone completely mad. We're leaving him.

Actually, let's kill him before we move on. We can't risk this idiot blabbering all over the place about us...

You've let your guard down, whelp.

…!

Ha... And here I was, wondering who it could possibly be... It's you, Jia Baoyu.

Been a while, Sijing.

It seems that your clan is entirely intact. No casualties yet, hmm?

That tells me that you still haven't cracked the code to gaining the most coins in this game.

Hm, and what might that be?

Know when and where to deploy your tools. If there's a mysterious door, push 'em in first. If things don't go your way, use 'em to make your escape...

Now that's how you use your human resources. Haven't you read any books on the art of war?

Oh, I see.

Well, I guess it makes sense that you're too soft to make sacrifices. Not used to it, huh? After spending your whole life stuck in your room enjoying that nice outdoor breeze, you've gotta be.

It's the opposite, actually. I think I'm too used to it that I don't really want to do it again.

... You're just as much of an asshole as you were then.

Let's see if you'll still be spouting off that bullshit after I take all of your coins away.
