Free Web NovelChapter 32: Selena
In a heavily fortified building hidden far from the city’s eyes, a melodic laugh echoed through the enormous hall.
The sound was pleasant to hear. Especially considering the scene before it.
Blood stained the concrete floor. The air smelled of alcohol, gunpowder, and fear. Men carrying rifles stood like statues around the hall while others lazily sharpened knives, their expressions completely indifferent to the suffering happening in front of them.
At the centre of it all sat Mhi Ho. One leg crossed over the other.
A glass of wine rested comfortably in his hand. The tattoos crawling up his neck disappeared beneath the collar of his black coat, making him look less like a mafia boss and more like a model attending a fashion show.
Unfortunately... Everyone in the underworld knew he was far worse than he looked.
"See?" Mhi Ho laughed and pointed at the trembling man. "I told you my men were talented. Look how beautiful they made your face."
The surviving man nearly cried.
Beautiful?
Half of his face was swollen. One eye could barely open. Three teeth were missing.
Behind Mhi Ho, twenty armed men burst into laughter. The poor man wished he had died with his friend.
Mhi Ho checked his expensive wristwatch and clicked his tongue. "What is taking him so long?"
The smile disappeared from his face, the moment the temperature inside the hall seemed to drop.
Nobody dared speak again. A few seconds later, one of his men hurried forward. "Boss. He’s here."
Immediately, the smile returned. "Okeyyyyy."
He clapped happily before leaning toward the chained man. "Don’t be scared." He lowered his voice dramatically. "He’s actually a very kind person."
The man almost fainted. That statement alone terrified him more than the guns.
The massive hall suddenly became silent. Heavy footsteps echoed from the entrance.
Mhi Ho’s men immediately moved aside. Twenty men dressed in expensive black suits entered first.
Unlike Mhi Ho’s men, they looked frighteningly disciplined. They have no tattoos or show any emotion. Each carried the same cold expression.
Like killing was merely another office task. Just then, Henry entered.
The golden mask reflected the hall lights.
His white suit was spotless, elegant and perfect. He walked with one hand inside his pocket.
Every step was calm. Yet somehow... Everyone felt suffocated. The surviving man immediately began shaking.
His bladder betrayed him, and he started peeing
Laughter exploded throughout the hall. Mhi Ho almost fell from his chair. "Look, He likes you, Henry." He pointed excitedly.
Henry’s gaze landed on the chained man. "Who sent you?" His voice was deep and calm.
The man opened his mouth. Nothing came out.
Bang!
A gunshot exploded through the hall. Blood splattered across the floor. The man’s companion collapsed sideways.
The surviving man screamed. His body shook violently. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He turned toward the shooter. One of Henry’s men calmly lowered his pistol.
Mhi Ho raised his wine. "What a wonderful gift."
Then he looked at the terrified man."My apologies." He smiled, "I forgot to mention something. He’s not patient." ƒrēewebnovel.com
The man’s breathing became heavy "I... I..."
Henry raised an eyebrow. Nothing more.
That simple movement nearly made the man cry. "I need a minute!"
Joshua, standing beside Henry, looked genuinely impressed. "So bold."
Click. Several rifles were immediately aimed at the man’s head. Red laser dots covered his face.
The man broke instantly. "No! No! I’ll talk!" His entire body trembled."It came from the Stone Family!"
The hall became quiet.
Henry’s expression didn’t change.
Bang!
Another gunshot echoed. The man’s scream shook the hall. His right leg exploded with pain.
He collapsed sideways. Crying " Please.... please....I was forced to do it... please"
The man swallowed. "It was Selena Stone!"
Henry’s eyes narrowed. ’ Selena?’
Mhi Ho glanced at Henry and sighed. " You should do something about it, bro"
"She wanted the girl brought to her!" The man hurriedly continued.
Henry slowly turned away and started leaving. His men followed him immediately.
Mhi Ho chuckled. " Ahhh, well, I told you, he’s a nice guy", he clicked his fingers. A table was pushed before him with several whiskies and Hennessy on it, and a wine was poured for him.
Mhi Ho casually accepted a wine glass. Then raised it toward the screaming man. "Let’s discuss where you got the injection from," he slipped from his wine.
The man, Jethro, shook his head "When did he even come back ?" He whispered nervously, afraid he would hear him.
"What are you saying? And oh, you can also bring your dead friend along; many hands and legs have been chopped off on it, so it’s meant for both living and the dead"
The men burst into laughter. Jethro sighed and shook his head once again.
"Ahhh, why not? Someone should nicely escort my young doctor to the high table," he said warmly.
Just as Jethro thinks MHI ho is an angel in disguise, a heavy iron hit his back. "Stand up", the man who just used a cutlass to hit him said.
Jethro screened in agony. He quickly stood and ran toward Mhi with his heavy chain around him. Another person helped him unlock the chain’s key and handcuffs.
Jethro sat obediently, facing mhi ho "Relax, good doc, my men thought you were asleep when I was offering you a drink, so he geared you up, hahaha" he poured him a drink, and his men passed it to him.
The hall relaxed once more... not even long,
BOOM!
The massive doors flew open. Several armed men immediately aimed their weapons.
Mhi Ho’s smile disappeared. One of his guards charged forward, and the guard was immediately kicked across the room. His body crashed through a table.
Everyone’s eyes widened. Another guard rushed forward. He suffered the same fate.
Even Mhi Ho’s men stopped laughing the moment a tall figure entered.
Handsome enough to make celebrities jealous. Yet the fury surrounding him was enough to make grown men retreat.
Nobody dared stop him again. The newcomer walked straight through the crowd.
His gaze remained fixed on Mhi Ho.
Mhi Ho smiled. The kind that appeared only around people dangerous enough to entertain him. "Long time no see..." His eyes gleamed with amusement. "Oliver Lancaster."
