The Snake God Awakens: The Reckoning Begins in a Dog Cage

You think Southeast Asia is paved with gold?

You're tricked into going to northern Myanmar. The "gold" is money stolen through scams, and "making a fortune" means hitting your targets on the office scoreboard.

You don't make a sale? They jab you with cattle prods, force water down your throat, and stick steel needles under your fingernails. In the end, they strip you naked and throw you in a dog cage to die.

You think beautiful women everywhere means paradise?

The day Lin Xue was dragged into the livestreaming area, three thugs surrounded her and tore at her clothes.

You think you can walk out of a scam compound alive?

What a joke! You either become a scammer or a corpse. If a woman won't obey, she's sent somewhere even filthier.

There's no third option.

You think I came here to be a savior?

No. I'm just a man who wants to go home.

Six years later, at the entrance to a village in my hometown in Northeast China. That girl froze for three seconds, then spoke with a tremble: "Y-you eaten yet? I'll make you a bowl of noodles. I'll add extra chili."

I smiled.

She didn't know that the man standing in front of her was the king of all Southeast Asia!
