Special District 9 Chapter 88: He’s Also Quite Pitiful

In the room.

After coughing twice, Old Ma massaged his chest before saying, “It’s not that hard for us to clean our name too. As long as we can catch Little Qu and dig out the culprit behind him, we’ll be able to explain ourselves to the folks in Dirt Street.”
