well that's only part of the reason though.
aok visited black hole a lot, and he (along with Shi Ke) gained my trust.
They had tons of chances to kill me, but did not (though I guess it would've made them even sketchier?).
Anyway,
I DID witness Hassan's assassination attempt on Shi Ke first hand, and do believe aok (he was in black hole lounge, then he left for Pecker, then came back to the lounge not long after claiming that Hassan killed David and attacked him. That made sense chronologically).
I know nothing about lua and have no reason to believe him.
but I still enjoyed the puppy dog face
