Hostage

Just from a random, whimsical idea of King Dari's, the reputation and status that Senior Shou had spent decades building had suddenly turned to ashes overnight. Even so, he still didn't expect that for only a moment's hesitation, he could be trapped by his former bodyguard and couldn't escape yet again.

In fact, Senior Shou could continue his old businesses. Now that everyone knew that he had joined the fight for the throne on King Dari's side, many speculators and hedgers, came one after the other, begging him to be their referrer, some of whom were even willing to pay a high price. It was Senior Shou himself who had turned down all these businesses and decided to quit.

He had gotten used to conducting business secretly. Once it became public, he felt uncomfortable and uneasy like an underground mole that was suddenly forced into the sun.
