The Crimson Vest: The Drath Series, #10
()
About this ebook
The crimson vest slithered through Guanyu's fingers, delicate embroidery snagging against the callouses on his palms. Embroidered by his mother before her death, it was everything he'd set aside to keep his job.
Which was gone now.
So off job hunting he went, dressed in his favorite sarong and shirt, topped with the crimson vest.
Mother said it would bring him luck someday.
Let today be that day.

The Crimson Vest
The crimson vest slithered through Guanyu's fingers, delicate embroidery snagging against the callouses on his palms. Roses vied with lilies against a background of bamboo leaves, all done in shades of red, burgundy and cream. Despite every square inch of the vest being covered in embroidery, the fabric still moved like water through his hands .
He hadn't worn it for years. Not since he left home. Mother had given it to him when he came of age, beaming at him as he put it on the first time. Guanyu had been thinner then, not much, but a bit. Not that it mattered. The vest was loose, arms opening wide so that he could wear almost anything underneath it. The inside pockets were still strong, bottoms belled slightly so that he could carry a knife or a blackjack.
Not that he ever had. It ruined the way the vest hung around his belly. Better to use pockets in his pants or shirt for that. Besides, he wouldn't want to damage the beautiful crimson vest by getting in a fight while wearing it.
Guanyu sighed.
Black pants tied with a drawstring hung in front of him. He glared at them. Stupid things. The only reason he had them was his boss had said that sarong
