Liu Feng smiled.
"It looks like at the end of the day, tricks like these won't work against wisdom. You are truly a learned man." he chuckled.
He clutched the edge of his ear, and started tearing off the layer of makeup on his face. Slowly, it revealed his true face. He sat on his chair while all of the merchants looked at him with wide open faces.
"Your Majesty! Forgive me for being impudent." the merchant who just spoke begged Liu Feng with his knees on the ground.
"Any one would want to safeguard their secrets. I of all people would know that. I am not petty enough to actually do anything about this." Liu Feng smiled. He then looked at the two leaders.
"I see that all of you have arrived quite a bit ahead of time. I hope that you haven't been inconvenienced due to all of this." Liu Feng asked.
