After working all day, A-Xuan ate and left to deal with the two men following him. He walked to an alley not far from the hotel, waiting for them.
When they arrived, they saw him leaning against the wall. They smiled at each other, they felt like A-Xuan was making things effortless for them.
They approached him with a smile, and one of them asked:
"Excuse me kid, do you have a lighter?"
A-Xuan approached him riffling in his pocket, then he looked up meeting his eyes. He ordered:
"Look into my eyes."
The man looked at him with a smile, but it quickly disappeared.
"What do you see?"
"Stars."
"Good, don't move."
The man stood frozen in place. His friend kept calling him, but he wouldn't answer. A-Xuan looked at him, and he looked back worried and took a step back.
He ordered:
"Look into my eyes."
The man was already looking at him worried, but promptly all his worry disappeared.
"What do you see?"
