As the sun set over Rover Base, the first group of schemers made their way toward Su Jiyai's residence.
They were confident, sure that their plan to trick the "old lady" would succeed.
They had rehearsed their pitiful acts, ready to manipulate her into giving them more than they deserved.
The leader, the older man with the graying hair, knocked on Su Jiyai's door, his face carefully arranged into an expression of helplessness.
Moments later, the door opened, and Su Jiyai, still wearing her veil, stood in the doorway, her gaze calm and unreadable.
"Boss Su," the old man said in a shaky voice, putting on his best performance,
"I—I don't know how to say this, but... my body, it's giving out. I'm too old to keep up with the younger ones. My legs, ache, and I can't even move properly anymore."
The others behind him nodded in agreement, each of them sporting fake looks of misery.
