After saying this, the elder of the Beggars' Sect realized he might have made a mistake. The elder of the Free and Unfettered Sect stared at the Beggars' Sect elder and said:

"Aren't you beggars? Besides, you yourselves admit you're beggars, so what wouldn't you do? If you can beg for food, why would you care about stealing?"

Besides, besides begging, isn't one of your Beggars' Sect's important businesses stealing?

Pickpockets are most prevalent in your Beggars' Sect, and you've even established many specialized training institutions to train Beggars' Sect disciples to steal.

So isn't it perfectly reasonable for you to steal these cars? How can you still feel wronged? Where do you get the nerve to argue here?

Hearing these words, the Beggars' Sect disciples present were simply unable to refute them. How could a thief be wrongly accused of stealing something?

Even if I'm wronged, who would believe me?

So for a moment they were truly at a loss for words, and the elder of the hall spoke earnestly:

"We really paid money to buy it..."

The elders of the Tianshan Sect said:

"Okay, let's assume you bought it. How much did you pay?"

Then the elder of the Beggars' Sect said with a serious expression:

"The bicycles were bought for 300 cash each, and a total of 1,500 bicycles were collected, totaling 450 taels of silver."

Three-wheeled vehicles cost 600 cash each, and 500 vehicles were collected, totaling 300 taels of silver. Ten coal-fired steam-powered automobiles were collected, at 100 taels of silver each, totaling 1,000 taels of silver.

So, buying these carriages cost us a total of 1,450 taels of silver, and you actually say we stole them? That's outrageous!

However, after the elder of the Beggars' Sect finished speaking, the dozen or so people from various sects present all let out cold laughs and mocking remarks.
