"I'm grateful for the reminder, brothers,"
An Jing smiled slightly, cupping his hands in thanks, and then gestured for Huo Qing to keep driving.
"I really thought they were going to demand a bribe..."
As the car slowly started moving, Huo Qing, still shaken, said, "The Day Tiger Gang used to do just that... If you didn't pay, they truly wouldn't let you enter the town, and might even give you a good beating!"
"Don't worry."
An Jing was clear, "Those people are just talkative, they bully the weak and fear the strong. If you really show weakness, they indeed might rob you."
"But if you're not afraid of them, how could such members of the City Guard Army dare to strike someone who is a 'city dweller' like you?"
"So that's how it is..."
Huo Qing and You Ruhui both nodded, somewhat confused. The former was used to being cautious, while the latter had not expected such a confrontation.
Interpersonal skills are indeed a crucial part of being powerful.
