Yan burned with fury. The rough-looking brute before him was merely an outside hire, yet he dared act so arrogantly in front of him.
Soul power surged around him. His gaze turned hostile as he roared:

Embarrassed, Yan stammered:
"I'm out of money."
As he spoke, Yan's face flushed all the way from his cheeks to his neck in a flash. Even
