West paused briefly before looking up again.
"…Renzhi, was it? Aren't you married?"
Renzhi's eyes narrowed. "What does that have to do with anything?"
West simply displayed a sadistic grin before turning around to walk away casually.
"…Don't be so pompous, junior," Renzhi added behind him.
West pause for even a second but muttered in a low tone.
"You're going to regret that."

By the time West returned to his apartment, the city had already settled into the quiet rhythm of night.
The moment the door shut behind him, he exhaled slowly.
"…What a day."
He moved through the apartment, shedding layers of exhaustion with each step.
He took a shower and put on a fresh clothes.
There wasn't a single mark left on his body at this point because he had drank from the a bottle that contained content from the Chalice of Vitality.
He sat on the sofa and leaned back slightly with a look of relief.
"…That thing really is broken."
