Chapter 14: Getting Scammed
"Humph." The man snorted in discontent.
"H-Here." Han Yu hesitantly handed the man the wine pot.
POP!
The man yanked out the cork and chugged the entire contents without hesitation.
"Damn." Han Yu was both impressed and horrified. 'I've never seen someone down that pig swill so easily before. That stuff burns like hell.'
He still remembered the time his friends had pranked him by replacing his drinking water with the same cheap, gut-wrenching liquor. It was strong, questionably legal, and probably distilled from the tears of regret.
But the ghostly man didn't flinch. He downed every last drop in one go, then slowly turned his gaze to Han Yu, his eyes now a fiery shade of red.
"Eek!" Han Yu took a step back, already preparing to run for his life.
THUD!
The ghostly man collapsed face-first onto the ground. Then, to Han Yu's utter disbelief, a faint, contented smile spread across his face.
BURP!
