When Dexter rushed out, he was greeted by a large mob, their faces vaguely familiar. Recognizing them, he furrowed his brows together and asked in an icy tone, "What's the meaning of this?" The leading trespasser demanded, "Dexter Fuller, hand over the map right now!" "What map? I've already donated it! If you want it, you should've gone to the auction! Don't harassfor the map just because you're too broke to outbid the others!" Dexter retorted controlling his urge to curse at them outright.
It was only natural for anyone to be faced with a mob like this to be furious.
However, what they said next shocked Dexter to his core.

Hearing their accusations, Dexter was caught off guard and reflexively retorted sense! I handed it over myself! How could it be a fake?" The mob tossed the fake map at his feet and shouted, "See for yourself!" He quickly picked it up to examine the map. He felt his mind implode, followed by a chilling sensation that surged through him, leaving him in a daze.
The map had been swapped! This was not the map he handed over! Be it the texture, material, and even the drawings on it, they were, all different from the one he had! Chaput 14 "This isn't the map 1 handed over..." Dexter muttered.

Dexter quickly said, "I already handed it over! I don't have the map anymore! There must be smisunderstanding. This has nothing to do with me!" "Being stubborn, are you? Let's see how long you can last!" Without any hesitation, the man raised his fist and slugged Dexter right in the face.
Dexter had only recently suffered from a head injury that required m stitches. Now, after wopunches, his old Wound reopened, and blood Woundr started streaming down, his head, leaving him in a sorry state. The other trespassers simply watched, having no intention to intervene. They stood there unmoving, only offering help in the form of mockery.
"Con, Dexter. Just hand over the map. Why keep it all to yourself?" "That's right. Don't be so greedy. Do you think you can handle all of it alone? Why not share it with everyone? It'll be better for everyone, a win-win situation!"
