Chapter 88 - 89: Inshi’s Coldness
After the call, the young man had been staring at the nothingness. It looked like his soul just got sucked out of him. Cail bit his spoon as he stared at the young man with interest. It’s always fun to watch someone crumble. It’s free drama.
"That roasted guy... He’s alive?" Cail remembered. It was the gardener that loves whipping people. "This is his brother? Looks harmless enough to take a bite."
Cail didn’t engage in any small talk and just let the guy wallow in uncomfortable silence. Just as Cail thought that this peace would continue, there was a knock on the door.
The young man who was staring on the sofa was spooked, and like a cat, he sprinted towards Cail on the bed. He stared at the door warily, then looked at Cail, "A—are you expecting someone?"
Cail sneered, "No, I’m not. But I think you are. Also, just this simple knock is enough to spook you. You should have heard how hair-raising your knocking was on my door a while ago." There was even a bonus anxious knob-twisting.
The young man felt guilty. He looked at the door and thought, "The bodyguards that my brother hired are finally here?" But he was afraid to open the door, then see someone standing there, backward.
He peeked at the man with glasses beside him. "Ahem... I wanna ask, c—can you open the door for me? I know this is very embarrassing but—"
"No." Cail immediately cut him off. He pushed him off the bed, "You open it or it will never be opened unless the thing outside barges inside."
The young man gulped but seeing Cail ignoring him as he lay down again on the bed, he slowly stood up and tiptoed towards the door.
He peeked through the peephole. To his relief, the people outside matched the picture that his brother gave him before. It was the bodyguard that he hired.
The young man happily opened the door, "You guys are here!"
