There were 5 men from the tower, 2 on the table with the fruit, and 3 on the table without it.
The leader, the one on the table with the fruit, had a long face with a pointed chin. He looked at Ning with his slimy face and put on a serious face.
Ning was sure he had been instructed how to act, so he was waiting for the man to answer his question.
"Yes," the man said. "You are undoubtedly a fraud. You are giving the poor citizens false hope with your lies. People, don't fall for this trap. You are being lied to. There is no such technique as this that can improve your Aether rank."
The crowd started whispering amongst themselves. Seeing the most trusted source in their city calling the scroll fake, they started to believe them.
"I suggest you stop this unfaithful business right now and hand over the scrolls to us, or we will be forced to shut down this production house," the man shouted.
