   Summary

   Xie Lian has been bought before.

   Men with money, with power, with careless hands and simple desires.

   He learned quickly how to give them what they wanted, but this one is different. This one doesn’t look at him like something to consume. The eye-patched warlord looks at him like something that was never meant to be here in the first place.

   And that is far more terrifying.
