You decide to go for the night market street vendor position near THE CLUB. The monopoly you could have on Chinese food is way too good off an offer to pass up. As for those shady customers...
Surely those guys wouldn't pick a fight with a guy with a cleaver?
During the morning hours, you visit the night market and check out places close by. There's a few private restaurants and coffee shops. THE CLUB is also near, of course.
Still, they are sparsely populated during weekdays. Those killings made people uneasy and on edge. The official police reports said that a lone person on Purple Mist drug killed several hundreds of people in a single day, but you know the truth. Someone so skilled in martial arts they can take down dozens of armed men and women without dying.
It's been a month since that incident, but the people are still on edge. Police officers stationed here openly carry the new semi automatics, knives are always out of stock, and even rival gangs here seem to be slightly less hostile to each other.
The night market itself consists of multiple stalls placed next to each other, forming a row. Fortunately, since your competitors are dead, you were able to rent out multiple stalls for yourself. Perfect.
The afternoon were spent unloading your equipment and purchasing new ingredients for your stalls. The economy isn't doing too well right now, even with the incident being covered up as a "gang conflict" and the international world not knowing about it, investors and the wealthy are beginning to leave the city.
Cheap, filling meals it is, then.
You prepare your noodles, stock, rice, and paper plates for the evening.
Night comes...
Swarms of people walk the streets, their faces betray their cold demeanor. Tired people with little cash looking for a meal after a long day. You know those expressions all too well.
At first, they were rather reluctant to buy from someone your size, but eventually the masses come around. You've served people before, but the workload of making food five dozen people is quite something else. Nevertheless, you managed to make them in time, before they start eyeing other stalls that might stop their hunger faster than waiting in this queue.
As midnight passes, the traffic begins to slow down. The local tough guys are beginning to show up.
