Chapter 181 Massacre in the ghost lands Part 9
Su Lin absent-mindedly walked upstairs with her mind and heart still stuck on those familiar musical notes and her past.
Luther had already stepped outside with the intention of waiting for her.
It had been a while since his wifey disappeared from his line of sight and that made him uncomfortable.
When he saw the familiar figure walking towards him with a melancholic hue in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
For some reason, she suddenly looked very lonely and desolate.
Luther leaned forward and pulled the frail woman into a bear hug. He then slowly patted her on the back.
The woman's eyelids trembled as she heard his sweet voice whispering in her ears... I am here... I am here.
Yes, you are. Su Lin's dull face revealed a small smile.
She hugged him tightly and nuzzled her face into his embrace. This man was all the reason she needed to continue living and dreaming.
Luther couldn't help but wonder if their violent actions tonight triggered her bad memories.
Su Lin shook her head. She knew what he was thinking.
She faintly mumbled still enjoying the bliss of the affectionate hug. "It is the music downstairs. It reminded me of something unpleasant."
He was just about to cautiously ask her for more intimate details when a screeching high pitched voice interrupted their warm atmosphere in the narrow hallway.
"Look Look. I knew it. She was just playing you, Mr. Mo. Look at her shamelessly seducing another man in the hallway."
The gossipy bunch from downstairs had ended up following Su Lin and once they saw her silhouette being overtly familiar with another man and even hugging him so openly, they silently dragged everyone upstairs, particularly Mo Ling.
And just as they had wanted, Mo Ling indeed was not pleased to look at the scene in front of him.
The woman he had his sights on was casually hugging another man.
When she had earlier not even bothered to take his business card, Mo Ling was intrigued by this woman. But now...
"I told you right. She is definitely selling her body to get investors for her cheap-ass company."
The woman loudly whispered to her friend, very obviously trying to stir up more trouble.
"So shameless. The least you can do is walk into the booth which is literally right next to you and continue your dirty seducing witch."
"She must be quiet talented in bed. With just her mediocre looks, she is seducing so many men."
Mo Ling couldn't stand to watch it any longer and his arm abruptly extended to drag the woman away from the man.
It angered him that they were still in a deep embrace with each other as if all of their presence meant nothing to them.
But just as he reached forward, another hand, lean and muscular reached forward and blocked his hand.
A pair of cold piercing eyes were fixated on him like he could lose his life if he walked any closer.
Unlike Mo Ling, everyone else gathered around gasped in surprise and not fear. The face in front of them was divinely elegant.
The man looked like a God descended on the mortal plane. His eyes literally seemed to contain the entire universe within them, even emitting mysterious sparks.
No one could even take their eyes off of him. Such an obnoxiously overwhelming handsomeness.
The woman who had started this entire episode stared dumbfounded.
Who the hell is he? She had completely forgotten about Mo Ling, becoming Mrs. Mo or whatever. She just wanted to be near this man.
No one uttered a single word. How can they talk about Su Lin selling herself, when they would readily do the same in a heartbeat if this mythically handsome man asked??
By now the commotion was loud enough that the group sitting inside finally walked out.
Monkey immediately stiffened at the sight in front of him. There was going to be a bloodbath tonight!
Luther's hand was holding another man's arm in place, and from the looks of it, he seemed to be gripping him a bit more tightly than required.
If this continued this man's hand might literally break into two.
Unlike Monkey who was still staring at everyone's faces, Rabbit took one look at the situation and Su Lin's slightly wet evening dress and immediately understood what had happened.
He stepped forward and loudly cleared his throat, "This is a public place. Let's go."
Su Lin also reached forward and pulled Luther back. Only then he let go of Mo Ling's hand, which seemed extremely bruised and swollen by now.
Su Lin chuckled at the man's protective behavior. As if this idiot here could hurt her. What a joke!
Mo Ling backed away with myriad emotions etched in his face.
He had everything, power, wealth, status, a strong family backing, but at this moment, he couldn't help but calm down his shaking body.
He was genuinely scared for his life.
"Get the names of everyone present here." Su Lin's calm and cool voice sounded amidst the awkward silence.
Monkey nodded his head as he mentally lit a candle for each one of them. He sighed and shrugged his shoulders in disbelief.
Sometimes people just lacked the common sense to not voluntarily go and poke a demoness.
As everyone cleared out with awkward looks on their faces, an old man from a nearby booth silently retreated as well.
He stepped out to visit the restroom but coincidentally ended up witnessing the entire scene, from the start to the finish.
The silver hairs on his mustache thrummed in excitement, as he quickly fished out a phone from his pocket and made a call.
"Get the H country's Duke on the phone. I think I just found his long-lost son."
