The loud music inside Red Moon was replaced with the silent breathing from each individual, who enjoyed the night before being interrupted. Everyone's eyes locked on the four people who entered the room.
Unlike the men's unpleasant appearance from Red Moon, the four men gave an aura of refinement. Even though they dressed in comfortable clothes like they were going to bed, one can tell that they are charming and flamboyant.
One of the men from Red Moon smacks his tongue in irritation and steps forward. He points angrily at the man with his foot on the body that had been thrown in.
"Who are you?! How dare you enter Red Moon unannounced?!"
Liu Shan never averted his eyes from Tao Meng. However, hearing the man pointing at him, he looks at the person. He had no intentions of moving his foot from the body on the floor.
Instead, he extorts a little more pressure on the body's head.
"It's intriguing how I know who you are, but you don't know who I am."
He laughs after his words and places his hands in his pockets. His movements were natural, like he wasn't in enemy territory.
"Seems like you people are a bunch of idiots."
His words caused everyone from Red Moon to burn in more anger than they are. Never has anyone dare to step foot inside Red Moon and cause a scene like this.
Liu Shan ignores all the glares directed at him and lifts his foot on the body. He looks across the room to Tao Meng and smirks from behind the mask.
"You should have put your interest somewhere else?"
His words fell, and he kicks the person lying on the ground. He didn't use a lot of strength but enough to turn the person over.
"!"
The second everyone saw the person's face, their eyes widen in shock and disbelief. Even Tao Meng, who had kept a composed attitude, slightly faltered in his chair.
"Jia Lin! That's Jia Lin! How is this possible?"
One of the men spoke everyone's thoughts. Jia Lin is the next strongest person after Tao Meng and his (Tao Meng) right-hand man. No one has ever defeated him beside the fight years ago with Mad Reaper.
Quickly as the thought came to their heads, all eyes look back at Liu Shan. Half his (Liu Shan)
was covered with a mask so no one can identify him.
"Lucky for him, he's not dead. I just knocked him out with one punch."
Liu Shan spoke with no sense of worry. It was as if he was only chitchatting with the people in front of him.
"Let's not forget the other six people in the cars."
This time, it wasn't Liu Shan who spoke, but Lin Hui. He walks up to stand next to the assistant and raises his left hand to scratch his ear.
Seeing that everyone's expression turned into confusion, he smiles a smile that made his revealing eyes turn into upside-down crescents.
"Don't worry. They're not dead."
However, remembering something, he lightly smacks his forehead.
"Dear me, how could I forget."
He chuckles with his shoulders shaking and stares right at Tao Meng in the eyes.
"One of them is dead."
The moment everyone heard Lin Hui's words, the confused look on their faces darkened. They didn't need to ask questions as they knew who the six people mentioned were.
Like his men, Tao Meng's expression turned grave. His arm holding Ling Ni tightens and squeezes her. Even when she winced in pain, he didn't seem to hear her.
He finally lets her go and stood up from the chair. He doesn't give her a second glance and walks towards the four men.
From noon until now, he had been anticipating Yue Ling's arrival. He had sent six people to bring her here, and those six people being the only ones that stepped outside Red Moon.
However, now he's being informed that all six have been taken down, with one dead.
His deadly eyes scan the covered faces of the four men, and his thoughts continue.
When he met Yue Ling the other night. he did think she was Mami. However, after returning, he came up with the conclusion that he was overthinking things. Not only that, it must have been a coincidence that she knew about him because Ling Ni told him that Yue Ling is the granddaughter of Imperial's great General.
As for why Mad Reaper was there that night, he also concluded that they were acquaintances
and nothing more.
His thoughts continued until he stops a few feet away from the four men. He was taller than them by a few inches, and his body built was more extensive, but for some reason, he felt intimidated by their eyes.
Like he was staring into a bottomless abyss that could engulf him at any given moment.
However, despite feeling this way, he maintains his strong image as the leader of Red Moon.
"I think there's been a misunderstanding here. This is Red Moon. Not a nightclub you can come and go as you please."
He stood his ground and put on an arrogant attitude as if he has no idea about what Liu Shan and Lin Hui had said.
"If you have no evidence, then scram before you piss me off."
Since there is no proof of his men, he can feign ignorance.
"Tsk, Tsk."
Xu Long clicked his tongue as he and Qi Li walk over to stand next to Liu Shan and Lin Hui. He squeezed through the two men and took the position in the center.
He sizes Tao Meng up from head to toe and nods his head in amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Wow, you really do look intimidating in person."
His words made the enemy side laugh at the thought of him being afraid. However, his head then shakes in disappointment.
"But not enough to intimidate me."
He heaves a long sigh and places his elbows on Liu Shan and Lin Hui's shoulders.
"You see, my boss is a very handsome man, but he is more intimidating than you. His name alone is enough to make you get down on your knees and beg for mercy."
He touched his chin with his left hand and pursed his lip like he was thinking about something.
"Then again, I doubt he'll even show you mercy."
Tao Meng was struck dumbfounded by Xu Long's sudden words. His face contorts into a displeased frown before sizing the man in front of him.
"Who is your boss? If he's so fearless as you say, why isn't he here? Hm?"
He snorts after his words and scans the four men, one by one. When his eyes landed on the last person, he scoffs a peal of sarcastic laughter.
"Even a four-eyes is here."
His mocking words fell, and his men cheer in laughter from behind. They were indeed taken back by surprise earlier, but getting a better look at the four men, they weren't intimidated anymore.
Even with Jia Lin down, this is their territory and more of them.
He looks at Xu Long and shakes his head before walking over to a nearby table. He picks up a cigar and lights it up.
"Since you have taken down my men, I can only assume you must be bodyguards of Han Yue Ling."
A puff of smoke blows out from his mouth, and he calmly turns back to look at the four men.
"I do have to admit, you four are quite interesting to show up here."
This is the only thing he could conclude after careful observation of the men. After all, he believes that Han Yue Ling and Mami are two completely different people.
If Yue Ling and Miami were the same people, he was sure the woman, herself, would come here. Not send some weak-looking men.
However, Tao Meng's eyes dimmed at the thought of his six men. He looks at the four men with a murderous glare.
"I will ask you one more time. Who is your boss?"
Yue Ling is only a model. There's no way she can hire such capable bodyguards. He can only assume these men were hired by someone else.
Xu Long howls a laugh at the man's question. He made it seem like Tao Meng's question was the funny thing he has ever heard.
He tilts his head a little to the side, and his eyes lock on the enemy leader.
"You see, that's where you have it wrong. It's not, 'who is your boss! it's 'who ARE your bosses'."
He made sure to emphasize the word 'are' like a teacher correcting a student's mistake. His left foot raises a little, and he takes a step forward. His head carelessly flung to look in the direction Tao Meng was, and his shoulders tremble.
Anyone who saw this would think he will cry, but the sound of a manic's laugh sounds from behind the mask.
"Our bosses' names are…"
He pauses mid-sentence and raises his right hand. He leisurely removes the mask, revealing a fresh and handsome, smiling face. Behind him, Liu Shan, Lin Hui, and Qi Li also take off their masks.
Each person then turns their head to look at Tao Meng, and a smirk curls on their face.
Xu Long: "Lu Tian and-"
Liu Shan: "collect."
Lin Hui: "Your."
Qi Li: "Fate."
