Hawker had tasted a life of booze and luxury.
He was the William Family's young master, with a grandfather who was the shrewdest Merchant in the Bunker and backed by overwhelming power. That also meant Hawker's status at Desire Tower Academy was untouchable.
Desire Tower Academy is the kind of place where—there's no performance review, only all kinds of theory classes.
Like, how to make people obsessed with you, how to gain the favor of certain figures in the Desire Tower.
If Wen Xishu were here, chances are he'd feel like they were teaching you how to scam people's feelings.
