Chapter 1160: Partnership
If there was one thing that Axel hated the most when he found out about Hera and Heaven, it was that he never met Hera Cruel. Strange as it may sound, but Axel felt a lot more sad at the fact he shared memories with his sister-in-law with a different face. Therefore, he stared at Hera’s picture until he was able to memorize it.
So, there was no doubt this madam looked like Hera. They were more like mother and daughter.
What was going on here?
"I would be flattered if you’re looking at me with admiration," the Madam humored. "But you seemed... shocked. I wonder where that shock roots from?"
"It’s just that I have a different image in mind for the person who targets innocent people." Axel cleared his throat, telling himself to concentrate. "You look better than I expected."
"I heard the Second Young Master has a talent to sweet talk his way into things he wanted. I would take that as a compliment, Second Young Master Zhu." The Madam smiled in satisfaction. "And you were much sharper than I expected."
"Are you talking about the two men you sent to scare me off?"
The madam smiled even more. "I told them if they could make you turn around, then I’ll give them promotions."
"But they failed." Axel was quick to pick up the hints. "Since they failed, I believe you’re not the type to tolerate failures."
"You want to know what happened since they failed?" the madam snapped her finger, and Axel intuitively glanced at the way where he came from.
Axel squinted his eyes as he caught the men who rode with him in the elevator being dragged inside. Unlike moments ago, the two men were already bleeding from getting beaten up. The men who carried the two men tossed them on the floor with a thud.
