Chapter 39: Ruthless
Inside the noisy arcade, Brother Zhuang shoved past the customers blocking his way and rushed over to Sakai Huaqing and Gu He.
"Lord Gu He, you look so sharp in that outfit! Really handsome."
Brother Zhuang flashed a sickeningly sweet smile, acting as though he and Gu He were old friends. He was a seasoned veteran of the streets; the moment he saw Sakai bringing Gu He out to play, he knew Gu He had become a transcendent. Doll Profession System. Primary Profession! Container!
If the two of them had shown up together in any other way today, Brother Zhuang might not have even recognized him. That was a Primary Profession for you.
Sure, Gu He might end up dead in a few days. But it was just as likely that in a year or so, he would become a major figure on the streets.
Besides, Miss Ayane occasionally tossed Brother Zhuang a piece of the action when she had work, which meant he absolutely had to get on Gu He's good side.
"Come, come! Let me show you around. We can play a few games," Brother Zhuang offered enthusiastically.
Gu He, however, was far less eager. "Uh..."
It wasn't because the Game Gang had beaten him half to death before. He just hated human traffickers—despised them—and wanted absolutely nothing to do with Brother Zhuang.
