On the way back, Li Jie couldn't help turning to study Nygma and Otis, leaving both men baffled.
Three points and another three points. Brothers, you're looking mighty tempting! But forget it. I'm not some kind of monster, after all.
He had Wilson drop him off beneath the shabby little apartment he rented and watched the Patrol Van drive away.

He put one point into the meteorite card first. If he could get another skill like Chinese-Style Iai, he could pretty much do whatever he wanted for now.
But after he made his choice, the swirling star cluster kept spinning without stopping. Even the light on the card began flickering, like a lightbulb whose fuse was about to blow.

Li Jie spent a while cursing through gritted teeth. Not daring to gamble any more points on that card, he put one into the Little Man card instead.
