As soon as Zhu Li heard Rika's words, he fell silent. He did not know what to say to the beta anymore.
He did not want to say anything insensitive and cause Rika to take back her offer to help. So, he did not say anything and chose to remain quiet.
That was the best solution he could come up with, and Rika appreciated his effort to keep himself out of trouble.
"I don't feel offended when someone brings up these topics. But I don't want to talk about it if I refuse to answer. You don't have to worry about offending me with your words."
Rika assured the older male, and Zhu Li looked relieved.
"Now, we should get going. I want to attend work today. Let's get going now."
Rika turned away and walked toward the mafia district. She felt they needed to meet Rocxx and cooperate with him.
Zhu Li was slightly stunned but quickly shook his shock off and followed Rika. He knew he needed to catch up with her, or he would be left behind.
