After half an hour, the luxury car arrived at its destination and parked at the entrance of an alleyway. This was a notorious area in Akloit where all sorts of shady characters roamed about.
This area used to be part of the foreign concessions, but after they withdrew, many wealthy families set their sights on this piece of land. They fought over it for decades with no resolution in sight.
To maintain balance, the major families reached a "peace" agreement and established a business association to manage this area in rotation.
As soon as they stopped the car, Cheyenne saw several shadowy figures lurking under colorful neon lights. There were three or five young men who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old with long golden hair and large silver earrings dangling from their ears. Despite being in the middle of summer, they wore white shirts paired with black vests that gave off an air of teenage rebellion.
"They're just students from nearby schools who skip class to hang out here instead," Reece explained. "If they have money, they'll go to internet cafes; if not, they'll just loiter on street corners."
"That's so sad," Cheyenne replied sympathetically.
Reece rolled his eyes at her comment. "You might feel sorry for them now but trust me; all these kids see when they look at you is easy money."
Sure enough, those boys looked at Cheyenne with hostile intent as if she were some kind of naive rich girl ripe for exploitation. They exchanged whispers among themselves before deciding to make their move.
The leader swaggered over like he owned the place and snatched a lollipop hanging outside a convenience store without paying for it before popping it into his mouth with practiced ease while ignoring the shopkeeper's silent protest.
Reece let out a sigh and leaned against the car door while watching Cheyenne and signing.
"To be honest," Reece said wistfully while twirling one strand of his wig around his finger like any other woman would do when flirting with someone else. "I really don't want to fight them since I'm trying my best to act like a lady right now."
She couldn't help but say jokingly when she glanced at his actions. "Seriously though, with your face, it'd be such a waste not being a woman! Maybe you should have a sex change sometime?"
Cheyenne couldn't help but chuckle before teasing him further by saying, "Well... you don't need plastic surgery since you're already pretty enough!"
"Thanks, I appreciate it. But I still want to be a man!"
As she listened to his words, a hint of a smile appeared on her pretty face. Her disdainful gaze moved down and landed on the man's waist.
Reece was embarrassed by her gaze and coughed awkwardly, hastily pulling at his skirt to cover up.
"Tsk tsk tsk, even your ears are red like that and you still have the nerve to say you're a man!"
"If I am not a man, you aren't a woman!" Reece lowered his head and gritted his teeth as he squeezed out these words from between them.
"I've been married and divorced. Do you think I'm not a woman? And what about you? You're just a virgin now."
Being mocked for being a virgin made Reece feel like he had been hit hard! He coughed violently until tears were almost streaming down his face.
In order not to let Cheyenne look down on him, he straightened up his chest and stared at her intently.
