This kind of thing was all too common in Dream City. Every self-respecting "big brother" had at least two or three lackeys by their side. One look from the boss, and they would rush over to bite.

In a small place, resources are scarce and highly concentrated. This makes it easier to form strong de facto dependency relationships, unlike in more egalitarian and open cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
