The gaze of Mage Yun Kong became terrifying in an instant, like the stare of the Death God. The middle-aged man kneeling before him immediately began to cry.
"Master, is this really retribution?"
Mage Yun Kong said, "Is it not retribution? I learned through the Heavenly Eye that when you started your business back in the day, you once defaulted on payments to a supplier, which eventually led to the supplier's financial chain breaking. The owner of the supplier ended up jumping off a building due to the inability to repay debts. This is the karmic consequence you sowed!"
The middle-aged man, sweating profusely, recalled his past deeds and felt deeply ashamed.
"Please, Master, show me a way out. As things stand now, what should I do?"
Mage Yun Kong said, "You've come too late. I cannot help you. Go back, for now, the only thing you can do is try your best to atone for your sins. Do you understand?"
"Master, will I be able to survive this ordeal?" the middle-aged man asked.
