Hyenas

Luo Yan followed Zhou Yong toward the exit of Gray Alley.

Suddenly, Luo Yan stopped.

Zhou Yong had yet to figure out what was happening when he turned and glanced at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan said calmly, "Once the smell of meat reaches them, the dogs come running."

Only then did Zhou Yong notice that the section of street they were on was packed with people from both ends.

They varied in height, weight, and gender. There were even several scrawny boys among them.

Their eyes gleamed like starving beasts that had finally spotted a tempting chunk of fat.

They all came surging over.

Sensing that something was wrong, Zhou Yong hurriedly shouted, "I'm Zhou Yong of the Iron Wolf Society. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a friend of the Iron Wolf Society."

"Please do me the small favor of showing us some respect. I'll buy everyone a drink another day."

He had barely finished speaking when a figure shot toward Zhou Yong like a cannonball.

Luo Yan reached out and yanked Zhou Yong aside, causing the figure to miss.

Zhou Yong saw that it was a slender woman with a dagger held backward in her hand.

If Luo Yan had not pulled him away, that collision would have left a hole in his lower back at the very least.

Cold sweat broke out across his forehead.

"Take care of yourself." Luo Yan spoke softly as his hands quietly formed a seal beneath his cloak.

A short man pointed at Luo Yan and shrieked, "I saw it just now."

"That kid handed Blind Chen two boxes of Anti-inflammatory Tablets. He's definitely a scion from some family in the Undercity. Otherwise, there's no way he could have so many good things on him."

A bearded man stared greedily at Luo Yan.
