Li Banfeng shook his head. "You can't do it alone. This isn't just a simple matter of losing face, either. If we don't handle this well, we'll lose both our reputation and our integrity. We should go together. Let's round up all the people we trust and even ask for a few more hands to come along. Everyone who goes with us must have backbone. They absolutely cannot be lowlifes."
Ma Wu was shocked. "Old Qi, you don't understand the Strict Law Society! We're not going there to brawl. We need to find a way to clarify things."
Li Banfeng laughed. "I think I should understand the Strict Law Society. I just lost to a bunch of lowlifes, and I can't afford to lose again!"
...
On the train, Li Banfeng, Ma Wu, and a group of more than thirty people headed to Black Stone Slope.
Ma Wu chartered a train carriage and paid a hefty sum in hush money to the Border Defense Envoy, train conductor, station master, train attendants, and other station staff to ensure the trip was kept secret.
