Shi Mu shook his head at their offer.
"What's the matter? Major distrust towards the two of us, huh?" Ma Lie sneered, his tone sour.
"Heh, that's not it. I was just wondering if the two of you really thought that you could beat every single prominent, highly-motivated family in the entire Magnum Solis for a few drops of mysterious tree sap," Shi Mu smiled faintly and rebutted, "I'm saying that the rate of success is too low to be worth the effort. Besides, even if you did manage to obtain it through some massive fluke, are you truly prepared to pay a hefty price for it?"
TL’S THOUGHTS:
Yes, my observant readers. I DO enjoy making up onomatopoeia immensely. Bwang! Ke-rack! Pwath! Pwng pchila kuang! There were one of my favorite parts of a comic book or a manga, but that’s because I keep re-reading them when I was young (since I didn’t have the money to keep buying these stuffs); And when you had read them so many times that you had even moved passed highlighting words in speech bubbles with different colors for “adjective”, “verb”, and “words I’m going to use on someone later”; you start to read the onomatopoeia. I once made a comic for myself, and the onomatopoeia are more fleshed out than my Naruto/The Last Airbender/Totally Spies/Justice League/X-men ripoff characters. Some of the characters’ names are onomatopoeia, too, like Whoosh, Krng, Bshhott, and one of my recurring side-characters, Pwalang-dang-dang. See? This is why I’ll never be a writer.
