87 The Folder 1 (1/2)

Neo strode towards the vacant single seater sofa in the corner of the room. He glanced outside the window beside it, his thoughts unreadable and his expression stone cold. There are a total of 5 persons present in the area including the weak and bloody man on the floor. In contrast to the lively and exciting sounds from the firstand second floors, the third floor is eerily silent. Only the disjointed plea for freedom and forgiveness can be heard inside the room.

”Yo-- young-- young master.... forgive me.. Im *cough* *cough*” the man said in a hoarse voice.

”Shut it.” a voice roared, the man groaned in pain as he endured the new hit inflicted on his stomach.

He looked up, the bright light coming from the luxurious chandelier hanging on the ceiling hindering him from recognizing the person who kicked him. He can only see a silhouette of a young man hovering over him, his eyes misty due to that blood and tears over his eyes.

”Jed, sit down.” another voice said, the young man called Jed clicked his tongue and slowly went away from him. The man on the floor felt relieved and nervous at the same time.

”You're being too soft on that traitor Keannu.” Jed said as he slumped his body on the couch.

The man trembled in fear when he heard this. If what they did to him was being soft on him then what would have happened if they are serious? He clenched his aching hands tightly, his mind cursing Juaqin Yuan for causing all this misfortune to befall unto him.

”Keannu is just being careful my dear brother, remember the last time you lost control of your self and actually tortured to death that poor little girl?” a calm yet slightly flirtatious voice said.

”That girl is far from pitiful Damian. You just generalize that all women are pitiful and needs a man's attention and protection. That way of thinking will get you killed one day. If it weren't for me, you would have been stabbed to death by that girl you call pitiful.” Jed said as he grabbed his glass of wine on top of the table and drunk it in one gulp.

”Stop it, both of you. You're making more noise than that guy over there. It's making me more irritated.” A young man said as he flipped a page on the book that he is holding.

”Keannu, did you already gather all the evidence that we need?” Neo suddenly said making everyone's head turn to look at his direction.
