[ If this isn't an entirely predictable turn of events.
Wen Kexing doesn't break character, or even press the other man with his halfhearted attempt at a counteroffer. Technically, Five should have given in more to their rolls and stayed quiet, but being submissive didn't sit right with how they kept looking his way. It isn't technically a betrayal when he had already hinted that he would do exactly what's happening now, but Five foolishly didn't take that as foreshadowing.
When he agrees to the terms, Five works his jaw as he inhales sharply through his nose. Fine. This isn't anything he can't get out of. An annoyance at most, though his eyes narrow when the man chuckles and tells them they have a deal without any further input from Five. He glares his way, but doesn't object. They aren't equals to anyone sitting here, and it doesn't matter in the end. ]
So be it. [ The large man in the chair is grinning nastily as he pockets the drugs, and two others stand. Despite himself, he takes a step back and speaks lowly to Wen Kexing. ] Aren't you forgetting something?
[ If he wants him to go along with this, he's getting the information too. Right here, in front of both of them. ]
