Chapter 170: Punishment (1)
Chapter 170: Punishment (1)
"What happened? Didn't he send a team to retrieve her?" Chen Tian's heart raced as he heard these words.
A huge wave of anger washed over him. He couldn't believe what he heard.
Killing intent filled his veins as he clenched his fists.
What did that bug say?
Chen Tian's killing intent escaped from his eyes as he struggled to maintain control of his emotions.
The air inside the hallway became cold and tense as Chen Tian's fury continued to rise.
"Khh, why did this place become cold all of a sudden?" The man dressed in a black suit said through gritted teeth.
Not only did he feel that, but all the people in the hallway could sense the sudden drop in temperature.
But everything returned to normal as quickly as it had changed.
"Hm, weird, maybe the air conditioning system malfunctioned," The head butler suggested.
The man in the black suit took a deep breath.
"Yes, you're right; that must be it. It happens in my mansion quite often. You should have someone check on it immediately," he replied.
The head butler nodded. "I would let the maintenance staff fix that later."
His master always liked to be naked in the mansion, especially after doing these things to all those poor girls.
If the temperature suddenly dropped, his master would always get angry and take his anger out on the girls he had brought to the mansion.
There was a time when something like that happened, and his master, to keep his body warm, did something that even he, as the head butler, found disturbing.
He recalled the chilling evening when his master, in a fit of rage, forcefully dragged one of the girls into his private chambers, demanding she keep him warm.
And by keeping him more, the butler didn't need to think about what happened to the girl after, as her body was dealt with in an unimaginable way.
That evening, he questioned his own values as he silently stood outside the door, unable to intervene. The incident haunted him, but so what?
He couldn't do anything, even if he wanted.
The head butler knew he had to handle the situation delicately.
As for why the temperature returned to normal, Chen Tian had retraced his killing intent, which was
threatening to get out of control.
He took a deep breath, calming himself down and reminding himself of the consequences of his actions.
He realized that he couldn't let his anger consume him, not yet.
Wait, he just needs to wait for the right moment to take action.
When he finds the bastard, he will rip him to shreds and make him pay for what he has done.
Not only did he have ideas for Aria, but because of him, Leng Zhiqing was also in danger.
"So those bastards that attacked the girls were sent by them!"
Chen Tian didn't want to think of what could have happened if Emilia wasn't there to defeat the attackers.
If that man had even dared to touch a hair of the girls, Chen Tian would have unleashed a fury unlike anything the world had ever seen.
His anger burned deep within him, fueling his determination to kill that bastard.
He knew that he couldn't let these criminals go unpunished, not when innocent lives were at stake.
The little girl was still sleeping inside the bag; she had clearly been highly drugged and vulnerable.
The group walked and entered different rooms; Chen Tian kept following them from behind, and only after a couple of minutes did they arrive at a hidden underground chamber.
Don't fucking tell me he has a secret torture chamber," Chen Tian thought to himself.
He could feel his anger intensify as he imagined the horrors that awaited him inside.
The man in a suit looked familiar with the place; clearly, this was not his first time in this place.
The head butler walked inside, following behind him the man and his bodyguards, and closed the door behind him.
Chen Tian quickly entered before the butler closed the door.
They walked for a couple of minutes down a dimly lit hallway, the sound of their footsteps echoing off the cold stone walls.
Then they arrived at a door that was adorned with intricate carvings and seemed to be made of solid gold.
The head butler confidently reached for the doorknob and knocked.
"Master, Mr. ST is here with new goods." The Butler said to the person inside the room,
"Enter," a deep voice replied from within.
The head butler turned the doorknob and pushed the heavy door open.
The door slowly creaked open, revealing a lavish and opulent interior.
Chen Tian's eyes widened as he stepped into the room.
"Fucking bastard!" The anger in Chen Tian's heart began to boil as he took in the sight before him.
In the room was a king-sized bed, adorned with silk sheets and plush pillows.
The walls were covered in intricate tapestries depicting scenes of grandeur and wealth.
But it wasn't what got Chen Tian pissed.
In the middle of the room was a big couch. On it was a man that looked to be in his 30s; he was wearing a loose bathrobe that barely covered his body.
The man was surrounded by several women; the problem was that all the women looked as if they were forced to be there against their will.
Their eyes held a mixture of fear and resignation, and their bodies were tense and guarded.
Some of them even had bruise marks on their arms and faces, evidence of the mistreatment they had endured.
It was clear that these women were trapped in a nightmare, their spirits broken, and their hopes extinguished.
Their eyes had lost all spark, reflecting the pain and suffering they had endured for far too long.
Each woman seemed to carry a heavy burden on her shoulders, their spirits crushed under the weight of their circumstances.
The man was lying on the couch, and both of his legs were being massaged by two women with gentle hands.
A glass of red wine in his right hand as he nonchalantly sipped from the glass.
Chen Tian couldn't help but notice the man beside Yi Guo.
The man wasn't normal and looked to be a Martial artist.
Of course, for Chen Tian, his strength was nothing to notice, but for others inside the room, he was like a god.
His aura exuded power and confidence, contrasting sharply with the defeated spirits around him.
The air in the room felt heavy with an unspoken tension, as if everyone present was holding their breath, waiting for the next unpredictable move from Yi Guo.
His arrogant demeanor and the eerie silence only intensified the sense of unease that filled the room.
"ST, so you came back; didn't we agree that you would be back in 10 days? It is almost a month, you're late." Yi Guo said, his voice dripping with coldness.
The room fell even quieter, if that was even possible, as all eyes turned to the figure standing in the doorway.
"Hehe, Mr. Yi I apologize for the delay. I encountered some unexpected obstacles during my findings," ST replied nervously.
"I couldn't find any new toy that is worthy of your attention, which is why it took me some time to return..." ST continued, his voice trembling slightly.
He didn't want to anger Yi Guo since the consequences could be severe.
ST had learned the hard way that disappointing Mr. Yi was not an option.
"So you didn't find anything?" Mr. Yi's voice was low and dangerous.
ST's heart sank, knowing that his explanation was not good enough.
"Well, not exactly," he stammered, his palms sweating.
"After searching for a long time, I have found one masterpiece that Mr. Yi would like."
"Um!" Yi Guo was now interested.
ST took a deep breath, relieved at the change in atmosphere.
"Mr Yi I assure you, I have finally obtained something truly exceptional," ST added, desperately hoping to regain Yi Guo's favor.
The tension in the room was palpable as everyone waited for Yi Guo's response, unsure of what it would be.
"Tell me more," he said, his dangerous aura momentarily dissipating.
"Of course!"
The man in the suit snapped his finger at his bodyguard; the bodyguard understood the signal and immediately removed the bag from his shoulder and put it on the ground slowly.
Then he opened the bag to reveal the inside.
"Oh!" Yi Guo's eyes lit up as he gazed at the contents of the bag.
"Hahahaha!" He started laughing uncontrollably, his previous tension completely gone.
"You've truly outdone yourselves this time," he said, his excitement evident.
Yi Guo's excitement grew as he saw the girl inside the bag.
The man in the suit smiled, pleased with Yi Guo's reaction. "I knew you would appreciate it," he replied, his voice filled with satisfaction.
"About the payment?" The man in the suit asked, breaking the momentary silence.
Yi Guo quickly snapped out of his excitement and nodded.
"You did good this time since you brought me something that I would enjoy. I will also give you a bonus, don't worry."
