As they walked, he explained, "I was the one who disclosed your identities as River and Sea Bandits to the Beggars and led you into the City Lord's residence. This provides an entry point for you to interact with them. How you integrate into the Beggar Gang is up to you to figure out. I can't intervene too much, do you understand?"
"This was all planned, wasn't it?" Crispy Rice couldn't help but recall the bizarre circumstances under which he had been framed as a River and Sea Bandit.
"Well, kind of!" Lin Bai turned to look at him. Damn it! I never expected you would choose to become a Beggar!
However, everything was back on track.
