Chapter 5499 (Five Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety-Nine)

The Gray Hand asked, “Why?”

“Because I don’t know… who that adult is, and I don’t want them to come looking for me. It’s better to have less trouble than more.” The man replied.

The Gray Hand asked again: “Did they find you?”

“They found me.” The man said, “The adult… brought the child over and asked me if I had touched the child’s forehead with my elbow.”

“Were you caught?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Yes.” The man said, “Because it was very crowded there… there were people blocking the way ahead. I just walked faster at the beginning and squeezed through a few people. If I pushed any further, I wouldn’t be able to squeeze through others. The key point is… there were a few people ahead… I thought they were hard to deal with, so I didn’t dare to push any further forward.”

“What happened to the people who caught up with you?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“He slapped me from behind… and it hurt quite a bit,” the man said.

“What’s next?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I… turned around.” The man said, “I was shocked. Behind me… was a fierce-looking big man. The big man had a knife on his back and looked… like someone who was not to be trifled with. He actually used one hand… to hold the two thin arms of the child and lifted the child. I took a look and saw that the child’s toes were only touching the ground at that time.”

The Gray Hand asked, “Did he speak to you?”

“He did.” The man said, “He asked me…if my elbow touched the child’s forehead.”

“What was your reaction?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I said… no.” said the man.

“Does your Excellency believe it?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“If you don’t believe it, just ask the child…ask him if the person he was talking about is me.” said the man.

“Did the child answer?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“He answered.” The man said, “He said it was… me.” “Then what?” asked the man with gray hands.

“Then the adult asked the child…if he was lying.” The man said, “He also asked the child what…things he had said to the child before.”

“Did the boy answer him?” asked the Gray Hand.

“Yes, I answered him.” The man said, “The child told the adult that he did not lie, and also said… he also said that after the adult put the stone on his head, he told him that he must not throw it away, and must wait for someone else to take it down, and must not lose it, otherwise he would definitely punish him.”

The Gray Hand asked again: “What happens after this?”

“After that, the adult said to the child, if that’s the case, then… why isn’t the stone on top of his head?” the man said.

“What did the child say?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“He started talking about me again, saying that my elbow hit his forehead and his head tilted back, so the stone might have… fallen to the ground.” said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, “Where is the Master?”

“The adult asked the child why he didn’t pick it up,” the man said.

“What did the child answer?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“Answer… He looked for it immediately, but… he couldn’t find it. There were too many people around.” said the man.

“What’s your reaction?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“When the kid said that… I was going to turn around and leave,” the man said.

“Why?” the Gray Hand asked, “Didn’t you say that the adult looked untouchable?”

“Yes, but… I have seen the child’s hand.” said the man.
