With Gao Yi in tow, the two returned to the town once more. This time, the powerful figures wandering through the town looked at Lu Hong with a hint of respect, likely due to the presence of Gao Yi, who followed like a dutiful underling.
Lu Hong slowed his pace, waiting for Gao Yi to walk beside him, but when he turned his head, he found the young man standing two steps behind, very much resembling an underling.
"Come on over."
Seeing Lu Hong beckoning, Gao Yi stepped forward. "Brother, did you need me?"
Lu Hong draped an arm over Gao Yi's shoulder. "Stop following behind me all the time. I'll say it again, you're not my lackey, you're my brother, understand?"
"I get it, I get it. But I see Brother Gao Sheng's followers always walk behind him, so I thought..."
"That's different. They're not brothers; they're underlings, lackeys, you understand?"
Gao Yi shook his head. "I don't understand."
