"If he's not paying you, isn't your kebab stand losing money?"
Chen Kai looked at the owner wide-eyed.
The owner shook his head helplessly.
"We wouldn't exactly be losing money. This guy is not always broke. When he has money, he makes sure to settle all his previous debts. He's skilled in fights, and as you heard, he's quite loyal."
"Normally in my small business, he doesn't owe me. Only when he's temporarily tight on money, I don't hold much against him. On the flip side, sometimes when he's flush, he even pays extra."
"You saw earlier, here we often have some drunkards causing trouble; having this guy around, saves me from a lot of problems."
Chen Kai silently nodded, somewhat emotional.
"Sometimes, even though it's not ideal to get too close to underworld figures, it's hard to make a living without them. I think this guy is nice; if you associate with him, your kebab stand might even grow."
The owner also sighed and replied with a gloomy look.
