Chapter 6 Forced To Drink Alcohol (2/2)
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
mined expression in her eyes, she continued,” I promise that I will pay back the money in ten days!”
”Why should I believe you?” David asked tauntingly.
”If you don't trust me, you will never get the money. I don't have any right now. Then Take my father's life if you want to!” Molly courageously retorted. Molly exerted all her strength to utter these words. Her body slightly trembled when she glanced at his father who was covered with cuts and bruises all over. She didn't know whether she was angry or sad at that moment. She turned to look at David and added,” If you trust me, release my father. I will bring the money to you in ten days!”
”How can I explain this to others if I agree to give you ten days so easily...” David Zhao said these words hesitantly and then paused. His lip curled and then he beckoned the man beside him. The man immediately got what he meant and took the bottle of liquor from the table and gave it to him. David Zhao, looking at the bottle in his hand, said,” I'll give you ten days on one condition. Drink this bottle of liquor!”
Molly stared at the bottle in David's hand, her mind fighting on the decision. Just then, Steven Xia moaned painfully on the ground. Putting all doubts aside, Molly quickly grabbed the bottle, raised her head and gulped the alcohol.
The pungent taste of the liquor slightly irritated her taste buds and throat, causing her to frown. In spite of this, Molly continued to drink the liquor head on.
David gave a little chuckle and took the bottle away from Molly's hand. Seeing Molly glaring at him, he just smiled and ordered his men,” Let go of him!”
Molly raced to his father who was soon disentangled from the chair and helped him get to his feet. While carrying his weight, she felt that her stomach was uncomfortably hot as if it was burning inside. She simply ignored it and walked outside while supporting Steven with her arms and shoulders.
However, just as she stepped out the door, she felt her head spinning wildly. After taking a few more steps, Molly's legs suddenly went limp which caused her to lose balance and fall down to the ground. Just before she completely blacked out, she heard David Zhao's playful voice:
”Take her to the Sophia Hotel!” he said casually.
”Yes!” David's men replied in unison and
Took Molly away according to David's instruction.
In the evening, in a presidential suite of the Sophia Hotel, Brian was sitting on the balcony with legs crossed while holding a glass of wine. He gazed at the night scene below with a sad expression all over his face. Unmindful of the cold wind that was blowing, Brian was lost deep in his thoughts.
Snowflakes were falling from the sky. They looked delicate and beautiful in the light, yet they seemed lonely.
He then recalled last night. He had been with Becky in the same room, delightfully sharing the expensive wine which had been kept for so many years to age. But now he was alone in this room!
Brian sneered at himself in his thoughts, realizing how foolish he had been. He looked away indifferently, with anger flashing in his eyes. His gaunt, cold face was full of weariness. He raised his head and poured the remaining wine in the glass into his mouth. After that, he stood up and then walked briskly back to the room.
Once inside, Brian felt a bit dizzy, which might have been because he was drunk, or because he was exposed to the wind for a long time on such a snowy night. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and a distant and lonely expression was revealed on his face. He then walked slowly towards the bathroom.
