Hakai was deeply entrenched in a variety of businesses, even those of a more dubious nature. Nevertheless, this didn't deter him from doing good deeds, despite his cold exterior. He recognized that benevolent actions could yield substantial profits and benefits, even if he didn't immediately reap them. This was the essence of Hakai's life – an unrelenting pursuit of profit and wealth. As he strolled down the sun-drenched streets, hands tucked into his pockets, his scarred chest and face were on full display, a visible deterrent to anyone who might consider approaching. However, he paid no mind to the curious gazes; he was here for what was rightfully his, the reward for a quest he was about to complete.
Upon reaching the door of a particular shop that had requested his assistance, Hakai paused, contemplating his next move. "Shall we meet the owner?" he muttered to himself.
As he approached the shop's entrance, Hakai conducted one final survey of the vicinity. Unfamiliar with this locale, he maintained a heightened sense of awareness, a precaution against unforeseen dangers. He recalled past experiences when he had taken on multiple requests in other cities, only to have peculiar individuals suddenly appear, forcing him to share the task. His hand hovered over the door's surface, ready to push it open. However, before he could proceed, he noticed another figure in close proximity to the door.
"Hey, are you—?" Hakai's words trailed off as he attempted to process the situation.
