A Reason To Live

Just like that, Bai Long Qiang was released from whatever the boss had done to him. 

"Sir?" asked the man as he once again looked down at the floor. 

"I will help you, and in exchange, you will help me. Do you understand?" asked the boss, a bright smile on his face. 

"What—" 

"What was that? I am what is now being called a spirit user. A stupid name for what it actually means," shrugged the boss like it wasn't that big of a deal. But Bai Long Qiang knew a spirit user, and all he could do was read minds… nothing like what the boss was doing. 

"Ah, yes, I can do that too. But since I work in a fairly crowded arena, I tend to turn that ability off during the day. That many voices in your head is enough to drive anyone insane after a while."

The boss put his hands behind him on the bench and leaned back, his feet barely touching the ground.
