"Aunt Tan, Aunt Tan, eat heartily, drink heartily..."
The peddler freed his right hand, grabbed a rattling drum, and shook it, glaring at Hu Ma with an intense, venomous gaze.
Yet his voice was unusually low and slow, as if trying to curry favor, softly saying, "Eat and drink your fill. Once you're done with this fellow..."
"He is a Shousui man; his flesh and blood are very nourishing..."
He was perceptive. Upon seeing Hu Ma's belt on the first day, he knew Hu Ma was a disciple of the Red Lantern Lady's Club. However, since Hu Ma wore a green waist belt without patterns, the peddler didn't give it much thought.
What he didn't know was that although Hu Ma appeared as a disciple of Green Incense, he had actually been promoted to manager. The corresponding belt just hadn't been sent to the Manor yet, so Hu Ma made do with the one he had.
