There were 5 men in front of him and 2 women behind them. They all wore nice clothes and appeared more or less refined. They also seemed powerful, with a few of them holding onto large bats.
Ning looked at them, realizing that his enemies had caught up to him.
"You are the one who is bringing down the name of us Spirit Detectives, aren't you?" one of the men at the front.
"I would say I am elevating the name so more people understand what we do," Ning said. "But I will let you think whatever you want either way."
"You are creating a precedent for people to seek what we can offer for a cheaper price," the man continued. "That is bringing down our name."
"I don't know what you mean," Ning said. "Did I miss some sort of rule where I have to put a proper price on what I do?"
Ning knew there was no such rule. The only rule there was from any Spirit Department was that you had to be registered to provide his services as a business.
