Chapter 114 The Purge II (1/2)

Just as Kyle was about to walk out, he stopped and closed the door.

He turned and told Charles, ”Take it that I am leading this. You're the CEO, but I'm basically your boss at the moment. So treat me as such.”

Charles nodded, understanding.

”I won't do anything to undermine you but I will do things that are necessary to clear out the trash in here,” Kyle said with disdain as he thought of all those useless monkeys out there.

”I understand,” Charles said, ”I will support you all the way.”

”Kay, get Zero and his team here tomorrow,” Kyle said, ”After the purge, they'll be in charge of implementing Operation LV Resurrection.”

”Time frame?” Kay asked, tapping on her phone.

”One month,” Kyle replied.

Other than Kay, everyone else was confused. Kyle just explained briefly, ”Zero's my man.”

”Man?” Xing Han said with a slight pout, ”Am I not your man?”

Kyle rolled his eyes and Ali whacked the back of Xing Han's head.

Xing Han rubbed the back of his head, his face full of indignant fury. He turned towards Ali, growled and started snapping his teeth. Kyle thought he looked like a puppy trying to act tough, baring his teeth at a tiger.

Ali just looked at the snarling Xing Han in amusement which made Xing Han snarl even more.

A Scottish terrier, yapping while jumping about ... the image suddenly entered Kyle's mind when he looked at Xing Han.

That did it.

Kyle couldn't hold it in any longer. He leaned forward on the door, his hand holding it as he laughed silently. His shoulders shook and tears formed in his eyes as he desperately tried not to have the sound come out.He was trying to be a Bad Guy here, darn it!

Kay simply patted him on the shoulder.

It took Kyle a few more minutes before he finally managed to stop laughing and get his breath back. Flinging an arm around Xing Han's shoulder, he ruffled his hair and said, ”How can I not love this adorable puppy? But enough. Time to get back to work.”

They fist bumped and Kyle took a deep breath while Xing Han fixed his hair.

Closing his eyes, Kyle focused on his feelings and internalised it. When he opened his eyes, it was cold and unfeeling. His striking blue eyes were like ice, his impassive face like stone and the aura ...

Kyle didn't release it but let it simmer underneath. Thus, one got the impression of danger when they were near him. Like a tiger, stalking its prey silently, ready to pounce.

No, not a tiger. A Dragon.

Charles looked at Kyle's transformation in awe. It was as if a switch was flipped. From a Dark Avenging Angel, to a normal laughing teen then to a Crouching Tiger/Dragon. He was seeing it, but he couldn't believe it.

”First, the investor's meeting,” Kyle said as he opened the door. Charles nodded, walking beside Kyle as they walked out.

”After the meeting, there are a few Departments that I need to see,” Kyle continued saying, ”I'll need someone to show the way.”

Charles nodded then looked up and noticed that everyone there was not working but blatantly staring at them.

”Is there anyone in particular that you want?” Charles asked as they stopped.

Kyle's gaze swept over the entire room and people gulped, wondering what was going on. Was this the same guy that went into the office? Why does it feel ... like he was a superior being that was looking down at his subjects?

Earlier, one of them just fainted. Then, Pauline got fired. Now? CEO Charles acting so respectfully to the young man that was beside him.

Putting two-and-two together, they immediately realised that Pauline's dismissal had something to do with the group of kids that were there. Specifically, to the young man beside CEO Charles.

Remembering how she had treated them as she brought them to the CEO's office made them glad that they had not been busy bodies like their colleague who had fainted.

Kyle's gaze stopped at one guy who was now practically shivering, his eyes wide open.

”Him,” Kyle said, and Charles looked at where Kyle was looking, ”Ben Tennyson.”

The identified guy, Ben, pointed at himself and squeaked, ”Me?”

”Yes, you,” Charles said, as he then looked at his watch, ”Right now, Director Kyle and I are heading for a meeting. After lunch, take Director Kyle to the Departments that he wants to go. You're in charge of taking care of Director Kyle and his team while they are here.”
