Lu Yizhou was standing over the window in the back of the hall near the toilet when he sensed someone approaching. Knowing exactly who it was, he turned around and nodded in acknowledgement as if they were acquaintances. "Mr. Tenley."
Zion was holding onto a burning cigarette between his fingers, smoke blurring his dark eyes that were transfixed on Lu Yizhou. "Aiden. I have been waiting to meet you again." He strolled toward Lu Yizhou, saying, "Last time, you were talking so pompously that I thought you were some kind of powerful young master. Turns out... you are nothing but a high school dropout who makes a living through illegal fighting and now..." The corner of his lips curled into a mockery sneer. "You have risen in rank to become Moshe’s pet. It’s no wonder that you can act so daring and gutsy. But do you think he will be able to protect you all the time?"
Lu Yizhou narrowed his eyes. The only people who knew Lu Yizhou’s title as ’Moshe’s pet’ were only limited to the guards who directly worked in the mansion. The fact that Zion could get this piece of information meant that there had been a traitor. Lu Yizhou clicked his tongue. Moshe wouldn’t be happy to hear this.
"You have done a very comprehensive background check on me." Lu Yizhou said casually. "I never expected that the esteemed Mr. Tenley would be so invested in a... high school dropout and his nemesis’ pet."
Zion narrowed his eyes at the sarcasm jab. He scanned Lu Yizhou’s face thoroughly, trying to find the slightest hint of anger or humiliation and found none. He didn’t look affected at all that his less-than-respectful background was exposed right in front of his face. Zion’s brows knitted lightly. Why didn’t this man react as how Zion pictured him to be? Did he not feel ashamed and furious that Zion had held on to his weakness and could use it to blackmail him? Was he not afraid that Zion could expose it right here, in front of hundreds of the most influential people in the country, and thoroughly stain his master’s name?
Lu Yizhou snorted, vaguely sensing the line of Zion’s thoughts. Like hell he was going to give the man satisfaction to see him react. The reason why Zion decided to show himself tonight couldn’t just be to taunt Lu Yizhou on his face. Not to mention that he was bringing the bug with him as well...
Lu Yizhou turned sideways to catch Zion’s eyes. "Mr. Zion, care to tell me what’s in your mind?"

’I can’t fathom why Moshe brought him here. It’s not like he has anything other than his looks. That smiling bastard really took in any Tom, Dick and Harry under his wings. He even sheltered such a cheap thing. So lowly yet dared to go against me... Like master, like pet. I really want to wreck them to pieces.’
