A few days later, Red Viper Bandits' cave complex...
Gao Shun sat at a large table covered in foods and beverages of all kinds, leaning his head on his fist as the surrounding women hand-fed him the dishes he pointed out. Their hands trembled as they brought the food to his lips, but they did their best to not spill any of it, on him.
They'd all seen what happened to the last girl that dirtied his clothes...
As Gao Shun partook of his meal, a bandit hurriedly entered the dining room and went to his side, kneeling at his feet in silence, head bowed low.
"Speak," Gao Shun finally said, swallowing the bite he'd been chewing on.
"Sir, the outsider reported by Captains Haoran and Lanfen is still situated at the village he was first encountered," the bandit said, keeping his gaze to the floor, "He seems to have no intention of leaving, for now, and no communications have been sent out, either."
