The resting lounge was akin to a luxurious hotel room. A huge chandelier hung on the ceiling. A 146-inch thin television took up the entire space of the wall and opposite it was velvety sectional sofas, giving off the vibes of a home theater. Not only that, there was also a bar lounge where Mr. Agenor’s proud collection of wines sat, sitting inside the glass cabinet like a war trophy.
Zion’s footsteps were muffled due to the thick carpet. He instantly made his way to the sofa and plopped himself down, crossing one leg atop of the other in a regal pose akin to a royalty. And when Lu Yizhou stepped in following him, the door was abruptly slammed behind him followed by a click.
"I—I’m sorry. Truly, I am very sorry!" The waiter cried out again and again, his voice and footsteps gradually sinking away until only heavy silence dragged on between the two men locked inside.
"Exactly how naïve are you? Or should I say... stupid?" Zion drummed his fingers atop of his thigh and lit up another cigarette. The flicker of flame casted shadows over his face, making his already cold expression become all the more frosty. "Didn’t your master warn you not to follow everyone as you please? If not... maybe he doesn’t cherish you as much as you think he does." He tilted his head back, white smoke billowing out of his lips. "Did he not warn you that... I, Zion Tenley, never let anyone who has offended me off the hook?"
The corner of Lu Yizhou’s eyes twitched. What was up with this opening speech? If he wanted to act then just act. Why the lengthy words? "Oh, he did warn me about you," Lu Yizhou said with an airy tone. Almost careless. The lack of caution on his face was making Zion frowned. "It’s the sole reason I am here, you know. My master said that... if there’s anyone repulsive, then I am allowed to bare my fangs toward them. And in this place, I found nobody more repulsive than you, Mr. Tenley."
Zion clearly didn’t take his words seriously. He casually let out a brief chuckle, the ice within his eyes hardening. As he had expected, this man was truly gutsy... Well, there’s a very thin line between gutsy and stupidity. Zion would make sure to teach him the difference between the two. "Last chance..." He drawled out lazily. "Come here and kneel in front of me. I want to see how much Moshe had taught you. Who knows, if you’re obedient enough... I may let you out of this place in one piece."
The sound of Lu Yizhou’s snort rang out loud and clear like a hammer. The veins on Zion’s forehead popped out. He had already been cornered like this and he still had the audacity to laugh?! Zion’s knuckles whitened as he crushed the burning cigarette in his hand.
"I’m sorry but..." Lu Yizhou shook his head, mirth apparent in his eyes. "No matter how many years I have lived, some people really amuse me to no end." Before Zion could truly comprehend what he was saying, Lu Yizhou lifted his eyelids and his pupils seemed to grow crimson. *Hey... it looks like you have good stuff inside your pocket. Care to share it with me?"
