Bring Your A Game, Mr

However, when the brute took away his face, what was revealed was another, more good-looking face

that looked totally unlike the one just now.

“What the hell?” Danny’s lips twitched. “Is that face-changing?”

On the other hand, Elise watched the show with great interest as a bloodthirsty smile played across her

lips.

“Yes, and no. You might as well say it’s an art of disguise.” The brute was still smiling broadly, but his

delicate features looked very amiable. “We make masks using fine-quality imitation human skin that feels

no different from real human skin. Although the masks are made to order on a one-to-one basis, it’s very

easy to wear them, allowing you to transform into someone else with little effort! Still worrying about

being caught cheating on your lover? Still afraid to show yourself for fear of making a laughingstock of

yourself? Worry not, for our masks keep you free from worries!”

The brute promoted the advertising slogans while holding up the ‘human skin’ in his hand, showing it

around in various poses. The scene looked extremely bizarre.

Seriously, would anyone buy masks from him with such advertising slogans? Danny wondered. The next

instant, however, he heard Elise say, “Interesting. May I add you on WhatsApp? I’ll do business with

you.”

“Really?! Haha! I’m making the first transaction at last!” said the brute. Then, he continued to promote

the ‘human skin’ in his hand, saying, “Sweetie, I’d suggest that you buy more of them so that you won’t

have to worry about getting caught no matter how many times you cheat on your boyfriend!”

“Who said I want to cheat on my boyfriend?” Elise finally realized why the brute had few customers

despite the nearby stalls doing booming businesses. I’d better not waste my breath talking to this guy.

He’s got such a foul mouth, she thought. “Anyway, let’s exchange our numbers first. I’ll call you later to

talk about our collaboration.” As she couldn’t stand the brute’s irritating words anymore, she quickly

exchanged contact information with him. After wiring him the deposit, she told him to go back and wait

for an update.

Seeing that the money had been transferred to his bank account, the brute left merrily with the ‘human

skin’ in his hand.

Staring at the face hanging from the brute’s hand, Danny shuddered with a chill running down his spine.

Then, he moved closer to Elise, asking, “Elise, what are you buying such useless stuff for?”

“I have uses for them.” Elise smiled before continuing to move on.

The black market was large, so Elise and Danny only finished visiting one-third of its area after walking

for two hours. Having gotten tired from all the walking, they found a milk tea stand and sat down to get

something to drink, waiting for Alexander while they were at it.

The stand owner was a Thai who couldn’t speak English but was good at making milk tea. As a result,

despite finishing more than half of her cup of milk tea in one gulp, Elise didn’t get sick of its sweetness.

Just as Elise was wondering if she should buy another cup for Alexander, a man walking past her

suddenly collapsed at her feet. As a doctor, she instinctively got up and tried to help him up, taking his

pulse upon touching his wrist.

A moment later, a grave expression took over her face. If she had to find a term to describe the state of

this man’s health, it would be withered. If one could draw an analogy between a healthy man and a fresh,

tender, and juicy sponge gourd, then the man, who appeared to be in his thirties, had become like a dry

and fibrous loofah.

There was little need to treat such people. Still, healers were supposed to treat all patients as equal, so

Elise tried to treat him using traditional medical treatment.

Luckily, the man had quite a strong will to live, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Elise asked with a serious expression, “Who are you? Why are you here?” In fact, such a dying person

seemed out of tune with the black market, for one could gain nothing from them.

The man’s face was bloodless, and his eyes were sunken. After taking a few sharp breaths, he explained

intermittently, “They… took both my kidneys away… without paying me money… I came to ask them for

money, but I couldn’t find them… They’re hiding from me…”

With that, the man lost his strength and leaned against the leg of the table at his last gasp, his eyes

opening and closing, as if he would die at any time. However, he had basically made his tragic story

clear. In short, it was the story of a desperate man, who ran into a bunch of organ smugglers and had

both his kidneys taken away without getting paid for that.

Unable to bear the sight of the scene, Elise got up and said to Danny, “Help him up and find a place for

me to give him treatment.”

“Okay.” Danny nodded.

However, just as he was about to help the man up, a few men suddenly rushed over from the roadside,

making a loud noise as one of them pointed at the dying man and said, “He’s here! Didn’t I say that he

wouldn’t last long? Hurry up and take him back. Perhaps he’s still warm!” As he spoke, the bunch of men

came to the dying man and were about to carry him away.

Grabbing one of them by the wrist, Danny snapped, “Who are you guys? What’s your relationship with

him?”

“Who are you, then?” asked the vulgar man in reply from a distance away. Then, he warned, “A new

face, eh? No one told you to stay out of other people’s business in the black market, huh?”
