What did "the sucker left holding the bag" mean? White Sugar turned the phrase over in its mind, and knowledge of the Koi Language surfaced, bringing instant understanding.
That kind of self-deprecation was just what it expected from an evil god.
White Sugar felt that Ke Meng's thinking was rather muddled. He called himself the sucker left holding the bag, yet he was actually the Reversal Chair's true owner.
