Looking at the situation, it seemed that the Jinzi clan all worked in the bathhouse district, their wages were possibly higher than his, but likely only by a limited amount.
Willing to pay such a high price to save someone, this was out of keeping with the ethos of Metropolis.
"Seiko's situation is special; she is the person in our clan most likely to awaken the ancestral bloodline in a hundred years, so the three hundred thousand was collectively funded by our clanspeople," Jinzi explained when she saw his doubt.
"I see,"
Liu Zheng realized with some curiosity.
What exactly is this ancestral bloodline awakening of the bathhouse clan— an innate technique of a saintly body?
"If her lineage is so important, shouldn't you be protecting her properly? Why let her work in such dangerous places?"
he wondered aloud.
The child of wealth should not sit in harm's way, this principle should apply in Metropolis as well.
