All at once, the room was dead silent, leaving only Vulcan’s moans and the sound of Zayn dragging him across the ground to marinate. Gordon and the others were dumbfounded. All of them had just borne witness to Vulcan’s power. Despite being wounded, he had not shown any weakness, and he was more formidable than the rest of them. He was still capable of escaping and attempted to do so by jumping out of the window. Nevertheless, just as Vulcan was about to make a getaway, Zayn put a stop to it and captured him without even lifting a finger. It felt like Vulcan was a dragon while Zayn was a knight in shining armor that slew the monster with ease.Zayn pulled Vulcan along and returned to his original position. Releasing Vulcan, he said to Gordon, “Alright, all of you should head out. I’d like to have a chat with him in private.”Gordon shifted his gaze away from Zayn, yet the shock and terror in his eyes were plain to see. He nodded strenuously and subconsciously began treating Zayn
Mr. Hyde was the underworld king of Waltz City and the head honcho of their craft, so it was no exaggeration to call him a legend. How could a man like Mr. Hyde be serving Zayn? They could not begin to imagine how influential Zayn truly was. While they were learning about him, Zayn began to interrogate Vulcan. “You may justify yourself now and tell me what you know. If I’m in a good mood, I may consider letting you off,” he said. Vulcan was lying against the wall. Zayn had broken his spine, paralyzing him. He could not move even if he wanted to. In addition, he had been severely injured when Zayn kicked him, so it was impossible for him to try to flee again. On top of all that, Zayn was now keeping a watchful eye on him, so escaping would be no easy feat, even if he had wings. “Oh, still keeping your trap shut? Not scared of dying now, are you? Alright then, maybe some torture will put you at ease.” And with that, Zayn was about ready to get down to business. Sensing Zayn’s m
His contempt was expressed so naturally and intensely. It was a disdain that came from his very bones. He felt that Zayn’s effort in opposing the organization was a hopeless battle. Zayn had seen this expression before on Lil Hyde. Lil Hyde felt Zayn was overestimating himself and that he would be seeking his doom by going against the organization. He suggested that Zayn call off the idea. Nevertheless, Zayn was quite a stubborn man. The more he was discouraged, the more he wanted to face the challenge!“Based on what you said, the organization is so powerful that I’ll only end up dead if I were to provoke them, is that right?” asked Zayn. Vulcan said, “You could say that. You haven’t dealt with the organization before, which is why you don’t know their power. That’s to be expected as well. After all, the organization's influence is so widespread that it has completely surpassed the limits of an ordinary person’s imagination. You think that just because you’re the chairman of Vi
If Vulcan had tried this on an ordinary person, he would easily have gotten away with his bluff. However, Zayn was an intelligent man who had experienced many things in life and would never allow himself to be fooled so simply. He said, “Vulcan, you’re still trying to deceive me. You want me to be intimidated.”Vulcan’s eyes glistened. He shook his head and said, “You’re far too suspicious. I’ve already told you so much, yet you still don’t believe me.”Zayn said, “You refuse to repent until the very end, I see. Do you still think that you can trick me at this point? You came on your own, you don’t have a tracker implanted in your body, and it’s impossible anyone in the organization is aware of your motives. You haven’t taken me seriously from the start, and you’re only stringing me along. That’s why I can kill you now and your organization won’t even know about it.”Upon hearing that, Vulcan’s body shuddered violently and his expression turned fearful for the first time. It was app
The figure broke through the door and killed Vulcan with a slap within the span of two seconds. The entire process happened in the blink of an eye. An ordinary person would not have been fast enough to react. Even Zayn did not manage to react to the situation immediately. It was not that he was slow but because he was stunned when he saw that the man who forced open the door was Mr. Hyde. By the time he snapped back to his senses, Mr. Hyde had already killed Vulcan. “Lil Hyde!” Zayn widened his eyes abruptly and grabbed Mr. Hyde by his collar. “What the h*ll are you doing?!”Despite being manhandled by Zayn, Mr. Hyde did nothing, merely replying, “If I didn’t kill him, you’d be in danger.”Upon hearing that, Zayn relaxed a little. Mr. Hyde continued to say, “This man was called Vulcan, and he was one of the peripheral members of Sicut In Caelo. He was a gifted fighter, so his defeat signifies that you’ve already mastered your martial arts skills. If Lady Hayley could see this,
They discussed the idea excitedly and looked forward to the future. Gordon could hardly conceal his glee, yet he pulled a long face on purpose and feigned seriousness. He said, “Mr. Larson stands high above us and there are too many people who wish to serve him to count. How will you get a turn when you’re just a lackey, huh?”Hearing Gordon’s remarks, their anticipation immediately turned to despondence. It was like they had to come back down to Earth after being on top of the world. Gordon let out two coughs and said, “Of course, if you continue to work for me, I won’t treat you badly either. I will introduce whoever performs well to Mr. Larson. If you can gain his approval, you won’t have to worry about anything else for the rest of your life.”Gordon’s statement brought their spirits up again instantly. They swiftly stopped talking to each other when they saw Mr. Hyde and Zayn come out of the room. They hastily assumed a respectful posture to welcome both of them. Zayn wa
It had been a very long time since Faye encountered such an embarrassing situation, and she did not wish to remain there for another moment. She regretted going very much. If she had known what kind of gathering it was, she would never have agreed to come. She was tricked. She watched the mass of men and women gathered there with their arms wrapped around each other and engaging in behavior she found outrageous. She could do nothing to keep her face from going red. She had never felt so uncomfortable!She had gone there that night at the behest of an important customer. She had assumed that she was here for a meal and to get to know the other business owners, yet she did not expect it to be an evening of this nature! She never would have come if she had been warned about what it was going to be like.The customer was the stockholder of a renovation contractor and a close collaborator with Neotech Lighting Co. She was good friends with Faye and they would frequently address each o
Mirane feigned displeasure and said, “Faye, you’re being rude! I’ve been taking care of your company’s business for a while, haven’t I?”Faye hastily explained herself, “You’ve misunderstood, Miranda. That’s not what I mean. I don’t want to drink. The slightest bit of alcohol gets me tipsy. Moreover, it’s getting late now and my husband is asking me to go home…”“Don’t drink so much if you can’t hold your liquor. As for your husband, just decline him casually. Plus, your husband is that useless deadbeat who lives with your family, right? Why do you have to worry so much about him? We’ll just have fun on our own. Trust me, you’re resisting because it’s your first time. You’ll see the benefits after you try it, and I guarantee you’ll thank me for bringing you.”As she spoke, Miranda held Faye’s hand and walked to a crowded area.There were numerous people in the banquet hall, around 100 in total. They were all the rich and wealthy of high society, yet the scene was intolerable to see
