In the following period, KK became completely marginalized within the team.
Su Mo helped him pay off the debts he owed outside, but stopped assigning him any work or giving him money, adopting an attitude of "do whatever you want, we're square from now on."
Originally, KK could have just retired, being a layabout every day, as there was still food to eat and games to play.
But perhaps having seen the dazzling nightlife outside, grown fond of being wealthy and respected as a VIP, or maybe unable to shake off his gambling addiction, he secretly went gambling again after a few days.
With no money, he borrowed, asking for loans from loan sharks, asking friends for money.
Many mercenaries on the edge lent him money, some a few hundred, others several thousand, even tens of thousands, and after borrowing he never repaid, just spun lies when questioned.
Eventually, everyone guarded against him, no one wanted to deal with him, and he became a detested pest.
