Tututututututu...!
Hearing the sound of the helicopter that was approaching overhead, for the first ti since the fire incident happened, Mr. Hwang Luo panicked.
More than his panic though, he felt angry.
"Who the f*ck is in that helicopter???" He raged.
"Don’t they know that coming here will expose their CEO and jeopardize his reputation?!"
"This will affect !"
This CEO felt extrely angry, but he didn’t give up yet.
There was still hope to stop this whole situation from escalating.
His brain whirred as he thought of ways to salvage the situation, and then he rembered that the CEO of Big Joe Enterprises was currently in one of his underground rooms having a good ti.
His gray eyes glead.
’He can solve this,’ he thought and heaved a sigh of relief. ’There’s still a way to salvage the situation!’
Without hesitation, he picked his smartphone and dialed VVIP Room 006.
Ring... Ring...
He waited anxiously as the call rang.
The call rang for 10 seconds, no response.
It rang for 20 seconds, then 30 seconds, then 50, then a minute and 20 seconds and it finally went off.
Mr. Hwang Luo remained unperturbed as he dialed the number again.
Ring... Ring...
He stared at the phone screen impatiently, waiting for the CEO to pick the call. A minute and 20 seconds later though, there was still no response and finally the look on his face started changing.
’Sothing’s wrong...’ His heart skipped a beat.
He dialed the number for the 3rd ti, still no response. And due to his decision to give the VVIPs of his enterprise privacy as one of the VVIP perks, even he didn’t have cara access to what was happening inside the VVIP room.
’What went wrong?’
He dialed Raye’s number, the trusted guard that he instructed to guard the room alongside the Earl’s guards and he heard a few familiar words.
"Sorry! The contact you’re trying to call is currently unreachable, please try again later! Thank you".
Mr. Hwang Luo stood in a daze. ’Sothing is wrong...’
’Sothing is very very wrong...’
Ring... Ring...
He tried to dial VVIP Room 006’s number again, and that was when the door to his office was kicked open.
BAM!
Police barged into his office!
"Put your hands in the air!"
...
Bzzzt!
From a small fire incident matter, with Mr. Dante’s arrival, the matter blew up completely as dozens of police airbus now surrounded Bourdillon Hotel in a canopy!
Custors of the famous hotel panicked as they hid in their rooms.
’How did it get to this level?’ Mr. Hwang Luo wondered incredulously.
The whole situation already escalated, his real business was already unraveled by the unbridled search of the police.
No matter how today ended, he had a hunch that his business was over and over for good, but still he wanted to protect his reputation.
Afterall, he was innocent.
Heck, he still had no idea what was even going on.
"I promise I’m innocent!" He roared at the police officers. "I’ve done nothing wrong, the Earl is still in VVIP Room 006 and he’s having the ti of his life!"
"I always prioritize giving my custors the best treatnt!"
Standing in front of him, Dante looked at him darkly. "Take there".
"But," Mr. Hwang hesitated. "I value the privacy of my custors a lot, especially my VVIP custors..."
Dante’s face twitched furiously. "Shut the crap and just take there!"
...
Restrained in handcuffs, Mr. Hwang led the way to where the VVIP rooms were located. Extrely self-conscious of himself, he could hear his footsteps amid all the commotion as he walked.
Thud... thud... thud...
Walking towards the core of his business enterprise, he felt exposed.
He felt like the world was suddenly so cold and dark, he felt like the shadows in the corridor were wrapping around him like the coils of a serpent.
He felt small and vulnerable.
He knew he was innocent, he knew that nothing happened but still he could not help his heartbeat accelerating as he led the way forward.
Ring... Ring...
Mr. Hwang looked at the police officer who he already paid money earlier but who was now bootlicking Dante. "Soone’s calling ".
The leading police, Officier Liang took the smartphone from Mr. Hwang Luo and answered the call. "Yes?"
The audible sound of gulping could be heard, and a female voice said. "Um, boss, soone tampered with the CCTV caras".
"..." Mr. Hwang instantly felt his back fill up with cold sweat.
His chanical face scrunched up in worry but with grim determination, he led the way forward till they arrived in front of the luxurious door of VVIP Room 006. By now, he was already 100% sure that sothing was wrong.
Afterall, he didn’t find any of the Earl’s Ascended guards by the door, neither did he find Raye.
And for so reason, he felt like he could sll the scent of blood.
His face scrunched up. Still, he scanned his fingerprint on the door and then...
Click!
The door opened.
A few ard police officers led the way inside, and then they froze.
Seeing them freeze, Officer Liang entered, followed by Dante and then Mr. Hwang and together, they silently stared at the large king-sized bed in the room.
The bed was drenched in blood and right in the middle of it laid a headless Earl Joe, and beneath him was his mistress who was still knocked out cold.
The Earl was dead!
"...!" Mr. Hwang felt a cold chill run down his spine.
Dante’s eyes whirred. His boss was likely dead for a few minutes already, and yet his manhood was still standing.
His face twitched in fury and he turned to face the CEO.
"You...!"
...
A few minutes later...
