Chen Lin argued his case.
The compensation was simply too outrageous. Now that the Lake of Destiny had dissipated, his talent ability was severely restricted, making repayment anything but easy.

Dice Elder's tone remained calm.

Put that way, he had no rebuttal. A debt of life-saving kindness could never truly be repaid.
He cupped his hands.
