"Mr. Leok, please stay in the hospital and behave yourself!"
Luis grinned nacingly as he held the hamr, saying, "People who co looking for my trouble never have a good ending."
"You bastard... what did you do to ?!"
Before Leok could continue screaming, Luis froze his ti once again. At that mont, Leok's face had turned a deathly pale, sowhat twisted in agony.
Luis didn't have the mindset to overthink things; the feeling of absolute silence throughout the entire world was just too terrifying.
He imdiately stepped forward, straightened Leok's body, gripped the steering wheel with both hands and cranked it all the way to the right, then stomped on the accelerator pedal with his foot, flooring it.
The car was started, but even with the pedal floored, the vehicle didn't move. Ti hadn't just stopped for living things; the motion of these inanimate objects was frozen too, which was especially frightening.
In a situation like this, who would have the heart to do anything mischievous? You couldn't even make a woman wet no matter how you touched her, so this actually wasn't evil at all.
Once he was sure everything was set, unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Luis quickly washed the hamr, slipped back, and put everything away in the cleaning room.
Everything inside the building remained exactly as it was; when he checked the ti, only fifteen minutes had passed.
There was still ti left, but Luis couldn't stand the eerie vibe. After checking to make sure he hadn't left any traces, he imdiately sat back down in his original spot across from Jian.
"Ding... 13 minutes and 44 seconds remaining. Do you wish to deactivate it early?"
"Deactivate!"
Without a mont's hesitation, Luis canceled the effect of the event stopper. Whoosh, the surrounding noise ca flooding back, and at that mont, he felt as if he had been reborn.
This process had been utterly tornting, each day feeling like a year, a living death. When you're the only living person in the entire world, the suffocating sensation nearly drove Luis insane.
Luis had just breathed a huge sigh of relief when a loud bang ca from behind him.
The people inside the building were terrified. Jian and the other police officers imdiately got up and rushed toward the back door, and Luis followed along, eager to see the commotion.
The backyard of the building was the unit's parking lot. At that mont, Leok's BMW had crashed into two police cars parked by the side gate, the impact flipping the hood up and sending white smoke billowing out.
Not only was the entire front end of the car crumpled, but the wheels had twisted off and flown out, showing just how violent the collision had been.
Those two police cars were also smashed up. Luis had to admit that imported BMW was really sothing; the engine had plenty of power and started off so ferocious. In such a short distance, most cars wouldn't have achieved this effect even with the pedal floored.
"Help..."
From the driver's seat, Leok scread in agony, his face covered in blood, the airbag having deployed.
The front driver's area was twisted and deford, in a state of compression. Judging by how his body was contorted, he had probably broken a few ribs too.
"Save him!!"
Under the direction of a leader, experienced police officers imdiately rushed forward, pried open the deford driver's cab, and pulled the bloodied and mangled Leok out.
Leok seed to be out of imdiate danger. After being carried out, he imdiately pointed at Luis, his face full of terror, and shouted, "Arrest him! Arrest him right now!!"
"Why??"
Jian and a few people who looked like officials were completely baffled, and everyone else had no idea what Leok was talking about either.
Leok, his face twisted in horror, said, "It was him... he used so kind of black magic to secretly break my hands and legs! As soon as I woke up, the car crashed."
This statent was sowhat incoherent, sounding particularly strange, especially the ntion of "black magic," which just didn't seem right.
An ambulance arrived quickly, and two police officers accompanied him to the hospital. Since the accident happened within the bureau and was quite serious, they naturally had to investigate the cause.
Luis was also taken to the eting room. Jian, standing by, said with a helpless chuckle, "Leaders, that guy is talking nonsense. If you don't believe , ask the people in the lobby."
"We were both sitting right there drinking tea the whole ti and only went out when we heard the crash."
The constant flow of people in the lobby could all testify that Luis had never left, and the surveillance footage showed him sitting there the entire ti.
So why would Leok say such crazy things? Everyone was utterly confused.
Soon, the police officers who had accompanied him brought news: "The doctor said his state is too agitated, it's abnormal!!"
"Furthermore, with injuries that severe, he should be in excruciating pain. The painkillers had very little effect, so they suggested we run tests."
"Suspected prohibited substances were found on him. We've already drawn his blood for analysis."
"The person involved... was driving under the influence!!"
Upon hearing this, Jian cursed, "That drug addict! He was so high he was hallucinating."
"No wonder, talking about black magic and all. Sigh, these people really are a destabilizing factor in society."
His innocence proven, Luis smiled wryly and said, "Looks like I made a wasted trip."
Jian said, "I'll handle the follow-up. If anything cos up, I'll let you know."
The circumstances of Leok's car accident were so bizarre that the news naturally couldn't be concealed. At this critical mont during the asset liquidation of Tiger Real Estate, the eldest son of the Leon family eting with such an accident definitely brought mixed feelings of joy and sorrow to different parties.
Bella was definitely one of the joyful ones; upon hearing the news, she was so happy she could hardly sit still.
At her earnest invitation, Luis agreed to et with Dominic.
The eting place was at Dominic's ho. The villa area on Haiwan Avenue was a traditional wealthy district, ho to the city's most luxurious villa complex.
This was also the renowned project that launched Tiger Real Estate. Dominic lived here, Leok lived here, and even Bella lived here.
At the entrance of Villa No. 1, a sowhat frail-looking Dominic was being supported by a beautiful young woman. The woman wore gold-rimd glasses, appearing very intellectual and elegant.
At first glance, she wasn't strikingly beautiful, but the longer you looked, the more her charm unfolded—a type with a naturally seductive quality that made one suspect Old Dominic had been drained dry by this enchantress.
"Welco to my humble ho!"
Dominic ca forward, shook Luis's hand, and introduced him with a warm smile: "This is Minda, the property owner of City Garden Phase Two."
Why not just say she's your concubine? Minda also extended her hand, saying with a charming laugh, "Hello, nice to et you."
"Hello, thank you for your help last ti."
"Not at all. The enemy of my enemy is naturally a friend. Besides, we can be good friends too, right?"
"Haha, let's talk inside. Let's have a drink and chat."
The luxurious solid wood decor exuded an old-money elegance. By the large round table, Bella, dressed in casual loungewear, was lazily and languidly playing with her phone.
Seeing her, Luis was montarily stunned. Dressed like she was in her own ho, it was very strange.
Bella seed to read Luis's mind and imdiately gave a seductive smile, saying, "What's so strange about it? President Dominic and I are still legally husband and wife, so this is also my ho."
"Yes, yes, we're all one family."
Dominic imdiately chid in agreent.
Bella was doing it on purpose, winking seductively and saying, "My room is upstairs. I'll take you for a visit later~."
