Thanks for that note, but I also can't say I want to see it for myself.
When ever I see a string of numbers just floating there, I think it goes to that site. I forget which scanlator it was, but they always put a number string in their credits page for a curated selection.
Anyways, about the comic. It is a ruse. I doubt Three Legged Crow has any leverage to them out of debt to Mu. The MAB aside, I would be curious if there is any sort of court. The idea or concept of a "court" is massive in the US. The place where things ideally would be balanced by a fair force (judge / jury). That is the mindset of people in the US, but that doesn't mean it is actually fair or balanced. That being said, I don't think I've ever seen anything about a Chinese court. Occasionally I hear something about a UK court case or one from France, but I'd say that other countries don't have the ... for a lack of a better term at the moment, /love/ of courts like us in the US.
Haven't seen those three talking about food at the end of the chapter, and they also haven't been tried in a court.
