Yes she could have killed him take her Token and over but she choose another way.
If you dont like it than bye bye.
I hope you find another work that you like more.
She did that because if the black market makes mistakes, she can ask for more things!
Genuis!!
She's also doing this because of these reasons:
- To teach him a Lesson because he was looking down on her for her age (basically, he can't believe someone younger than him holds a black token). Killing him there won't teach him not to look down on others because of their apparent age.
-Killing him would cause awkward tension between herself and the black market. It's true that she is one of their more valued clients, but the way treat Xu suggests he has a decent amount of backing as well. Since Lord Hell gave her the blood identified black token, that's almost like saying she owns the black market. So she'd be causing problems for herself in the long run if the black market has to waste time dealing with any backlashes for killing Xu on black market grounds. That's why she let the higher-ups know, so they can deal with Xu by themselves, and whatever backing Xu has can't say a thing in return.
- As mentioned by @space_darkawafangirl, she can ask more of the black market. As a client of the black market, she has been inconvenienced by another user, so the black market has to step in as a neutral service provider.
They kept her waiting.
They brought a group.
They questioned her ownership of the token.
They gave her a counterfeit token.
That's multiple insults. It requires a strong assault.
She is making a point and letting the bad guy get away with his plot for a moment, just to make sure to get big payback via the black market's own people. She's not always about solving things easily--but getting maximum, "Don't fuck with me" out of it. This way, no one else in Da Yan's Black Market is going to look down on the teen "doc."
She could have easily gotten the token back without causing all this drama? I seriously question why I'm still reading this....
