A plump, striped hamster was currently locked in a staring contest with a black cat in the corner of a lounge, a piece of fragmented beef jerky lying between them. The atmosphere was tense.
Meanwhile, a cute and lively girl with a ponytail was also facing off against a seemingly expressionless yet strangely alluring girl. The intense gaze exchanged between the two was enough to send chills down Yang Xiaoyou's spine.
Initially, Qi Menglu, who had been loudly proclaiming herself as a fan of Dream Butterfly, now resembled an irritable cat, her face displaying clear displeasure.
"How do you even know each other? Hmph! How could a bad guy like you be so close to Dream Butterfly Sister?"
Glancing at the two, Qi Menglu muttered sulkily, feeling a twinge of jealousy. It was baffling how someone with no redeeming qualities could attract so many outstanding girls. Feng Lin was acceptable, but how could anyone else compare?
Hearing Menglu’s blunt remarks, Yang Xiaoyou was about to interject and explain when Dream Butterfly casually stated, "He is my owner."
That simple phrase nearly sent Yang Xiaoyou into a meltdown. Please don’t throw out such ambiguous statements at this moment!
Sure enough, Qi Menglu reacted as if someone had stepped on her tail, jumping up in shock. "Owner?!"
Her mind immediately conjured up some disturbing images from when she had rummaged through Yang Xiaoyou's belongings under his bed, leading her thoughts down some unsavory paths.
She envisioned Dream Butterfly, completely bare and wearing a collar, with the leash held tightly in Yang Xiaoyou's hand.
Shaking her head vigorously to dispel those strange images, Qi Menglu's gaze towards the two became increasingly peculiar.
"Hey, don’t think too much into it! I just took care of her for a while; Sister Wu You can vouch for me. She asked me to help," Yang Xiaoyou quickly clarified, feeling the heat rising to his head and wanting to divert attention.
"That's true; I did ask him for help. Dream Butterfly isn’t very good at taking care of herself," Chen Wuyou unexpectedly backed him up, causing Yang Xiaoyou to feel touched to the point of tears.
However, she then calmly shifted her tone and continued flatly, "Like feeding her, bathing her, changing her clothes... it really is quite similar to being an owner."
As she spoke these chilling words with the ease of sipping tea, Yang Xiaoyou felt an urge to bang his head against the wall despite having initially felt grateful.
Even Feng Lin, usually composed, began polishing his sword upon hearing this, sending shivers down Yang Xiaoyou's spine.
Rubbing the bite mark on his face while listening to Qi Menglu huff angrily at him, Yang Xiaoyou wore an expression that resembled that of a dead fish.
Fortunately, Chen Wuyou was there; although she had secretly thrown him under the bus, she still had some conscience left and managed to clarify the main issue.
Although he had been taught a lesson by that person, it wasn't entirely unfair.
"Hmph, you should have called me when you encountered something like this. How can you, as a boy, take care of a girl properly? So foolish," Qi Menglu added a final warning after a moment.
"Xiao You is an idiot," Feng Lin rarely spoke up to give a negative evaluation. Although her tone was devoid of emotional fluctuation, it still conveyed her opinion.
Hearing this only made Yang Xiaoyou smile bitterly. It would definitely be hellish for someone who couldn't even take care of herself, like Menglu, to also look after Dream Butterfly and that Fool.
Of course, he wouldn't say such things directly. Instead, he explained, "At that time, weren't you all not around? Chen Hao dragged me off to be a third wheel."
Once the topic shifted to Chen Hao, Menglu's interest was piqued. She began to bring up various embarrassing stories about Chen Hao and Huang Ling, making the usually aloof Chen Hao feel somewhat awkward.
"By the way, Rat, you should have been selected by now," Yang Xiaoyou directly inquired since the conversation had turned to this fellow.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Chen Hao showed a hint of surprise on his face. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "It seems that the company you joined is quite impressive. Such matters are kept strictly confidential within our organization. I might have to graduate early from school; it will probably be difficult for you all to gather with me in the capital."
At this point, while feeling somewhat excited, he also expressed a sense of regret and hesitation—emotions that rarely appeared on him.
Beside them, Qi Menglu and Chen Wuyou were also listening intently. Dream Butterfly and Feng Lin seemed indifferent; however, as everyone's attention shifted to Chen Hao, a subtle change appeared between the two of them.
Both were not very talkative and were somewhat silent at this moment. Yet there seemed to be a tacit understanding forming between them that sent chills down Yang Xiaoyou's spine.
Suddenly, in an office building in Hong Kong, a fierce flame erupted outward, shattering all the windows.
The falling glass shards and the roar of the explosion caused pedestrians on the street to scream in shock.
"Ah, it seems that being straightforward suits my style better. In such a highly constrained city, it's really unbearable; well done," Lucas remarked as he watched the spectacular fireworks display. He then patted the shoulder of a formal member behind him.
The person behind was indeed an expert when it came to explosions.
"You smiled; this has nothing to do with me. It's just a gang fight among them; the residue from drugs will make this clear," said the White Man who received the pat on the shoulder casually.
No matter how others doubted it, this incident had nothing to do with Same Beehive at all.
Perhaps taking the most commonly used and cautious approach in secret to achieve a tacit understanding with the Underground Forces and the surface powers would allow the Official to turn a blind eye.
But how could such timidity possibly create the same impact as the current situation?
Achieving this kind of visual effect, while forcefully withstanding the pressure from above, would undoubtedly serve as the greatest deterrent for those local Underground Forces who have their own calculations.
Although it may seem that there will be more troubles ahead, the effect of killing one to warn a hundred will ultimately make things easier in the long run.
As for the pressure from the Official?
In the past, Hive Security Company would have been much more cautious, but in this particularly unique place globally, Hive Security Company has its own ways of coping, especially after getting involved with the Liang Family.
“Alright, just this one on the surface will do. Now let’s clean up; we won’t let a single one slip away,” Lucas said as he turned to leave with everyone. After putting on a cap, a cruel smile appeared on his dark face.
Using the company's vulnerabilities to oppress and bully?
No problem; they would continue to apply pressure. The company would naturally retaliate using its strengths. This is the unique Advantage of a force with its own combat power against 'ordinary' forces.
“What did you say? Repeat that! Today isn’t April Fool’s Day!” Zhou Xian exclaimed into the phone, suddenly sitting up like an exposed lion while enjoying a massage from a beautiful technician in the Presidential Suite.
The sudden outburst startled the woman behind him, causing her to tense up and pull a muscle while massaging him.
But at that moment, Zhou Xian couldn’t care less about that.
Hearing the report over the phone, he nearly dropped it in shock. He struggled to keep himself from throwing it away and quickly dialed another number.
The office in City Center had been blown up? Damn it, that was Hong Kong, not Damn it in the Middle East!
Just as he was about to connect the call, his phone rang again.
With a ‘click’, multiple notifications came through one after another. By the last message, Zhou Xian finally lost his grip on his phone, letting it fall from his hand.
All of his enterprises! All of them! All of his forces! Had unexpectedly suffered irreversible Destruction in such a short span of time.
Like a withered tree swept away by a storm, there was no ability to resist at all.
While the police's attention was completely drawn to the explosion caused by Bai, his underground empire suffered even more terrifying destruction, nearly being uprooted entirely.
Now, even the remnants that could barely hold on would ultimately be taken advantage of by his original competitors, who would pick it clean like a plate licked by a dog.
He didn't even know who had dealt him this blow until just before the last phone call came in.
It was only when Inspector Liu called and simply said, "I warned you," that he realized it was Hive Security Company, the very entity he had dismissed, that had directly uprooted his power.
Not only that, but after doing all this, they had also framed him for drug smuggling, making him bear the blame for the tragedy caused by drug dealers turning on each other.
The instant annihilation was that simple; the network of connections he had prided himself on was cut off without any chance to mobilize. Left with almost nothing, there was no one to come to his aid.
In the face of such overwhelming power, all calculations were meaningless. No matter what he wanted to do, how he prepared, or whom he sought out, they simply ignored him and didn't take him seriously.
Just as the concert ended, it delivered a fatal blow!
It was over; everything he had was gone.
