When Sha You bid farewell to the nominal Gang Leader, Laudfen, then privately sought out Du Youqian to propose leaving her daughter with him for a while, Du Youqian was dumbfounded.
'I never said I wanted a hostage!'
'Besides, even if you were going to be so proactive about it, you got the gender wrong! This is clearly a female hostage!'
Du Youqian couldn't figure out what this Split-Ear Sand Fox was thinking.
'Does she think I'm a rising star and wants to latch onto a powerful backer?'
'If so, you've made a huge mistake...'
'My lifespan is nearly at its end.'
Still, having the Split-Ear Sand Fox Race proactively seek such a deep bond was ultimately a good thing.
Du Youqian naturally had no reason to refuse.
Although he wasn't particularly interested in managing a faction and held a "hit it and quit it" attitude toward the Zouma Gang, for now, he still needed to use them to amass wealth.
