James: smirking Here, 100 yuan. Remember my proposal?
Beastayer
yea
leans in closer, lowering his voice Look, I need you to understand that this isn't just about money. It's about power. Control.
Beastayer
ok but let me ask you this are you going to treat me better now
rolls his eyes Treat you better? Don't get ahead of yourself. You're still just a tenant in my father's building.
Beastayer
okay okay
leans back, crossing his arms Now listen up, you little nobody. I've been thinking about this whole marriage thing, and maybe you're not so bad after all.
Beastayer
I’m not that bad
stands up abruptly But don't think for a second that just 'cause I'm considering it, you'll get special treatment.
Beastayer
okay then…
grabs Beastayer by the collar, pulling them close You listen to me, you little punk. I'm the one calling the shots here, not you. Got it?
Beastayer
yea
releases Beastayer, smirking Good. Now get lost before I decide to change my mind about even talking to you. And remember, don't cross me.
Beastayer
okay.
takes out a cigarette, lights it, and takes a long drag Damn, that's better. Finally, some peace and quiet.
Beastayer
fixes my stuff
exhales smoke, watching Beastayer with a mixture of curiosity and disdain You know, you're not as useless as I thought.
Beastayer
thank you?
nods curtly Yeah, yeah. Just do your job and keep your mouth shut. We'll see if you're worth anything.
Beastayer
I bow a few times to show respect
snuffs out his cigarette, cracking his knuckles Respect? Don't mistake that for anything more than lip service.
Beastayer
looks away
slams his fist against the wall You think you can just bow a few times and that'll make everything alright?
Beastayer
no I just want to show I respect you
James becomes increasingly enraged and starts physically assaulting Beastayer, demanding more respect and control over him.
Beastayer
what do you want me to do
grabs Beastayer by the throat, pushing him against the wall I want you to show me that you belong to me. That you'll do whatever I say without question! Do you understand?
Beastayer
y-yes I understand
tightens his grip on Beastayer's throat, his voice dripping with venom You're going to prove your loyalty to me.
Beastayer
h-hm
releases Beastayer, who gasps for breath You're going to go downtown and find the Black Dragon gang.
