At the basement of a house located 2 hours away from the Imperial City, a prisoner was shouting profanities and banging on the metal door as he demanded to be released.
When he woke up, he had a splitting headache and one of his leg was in a cast. Without any windows, he had no idea where he was. Even though the one light bulb hanging in the middle of the room gave him a bad feeling about this, he had thought that it was merely a prank by his friends.
One of the guards had enough of the banging and he pulled down his mask as he banged on the door back, "SHUT UP!"
"What's with the racket?"
The guards turned to the voice and when they saw their boss and his boss walking towards them, they bowed.
One of the guards explained, "Master Shenlong. President Du. The guy inside keeps shouting but as per your instruction, even though he was rude, we did not touch him."
Callum nodded. He took out two full face gas masks from his bag and gave one to DX, "Wear this."
When he saw the disgusted face from DX, he sighed, "My dear President Du, the gas mask can completely cover your prestigious looking face."
DX looked at him condescendingly, "A normal full face mask can do the same."
Before Callum can think of a retort, DX took the gas mask and put it on. He then pointed to one of the guards who were of similar build and demanded, "Give me your jacket."
The guard looked at Callum.
Callum glared at his sworn brother before putting on the gas mask and told the guard, "Give him whatever he wants..."
Then in a lower voice, he mumbled, "...Otherwise he would set his crazy girlfriend on you."
The guard looked puzzled but he complied and gave DX his bomber jacket.
"Ready?" Callum asked when they stood in front of the door.
DX stopped him, "Wait."
"What?"
'PAP!!'
Without warning, DX slapped Callum at the back of his head.
The victimized Callum glared at him as he held onto the back of his head, "What was that for?!That's gonna leave a bruise!"
Even though he was wearing a gas mask, Callum knew that DX was giving him a cold piercing look as he asked, "What did you call my girlfriend just now?"
Callum mumbled something about telling the truth but when he felt the hair behind his back standing up, he knew that his life would be in serious danger if he kept talking.
Hence, before DX can whack him again, he quickly opened the door.
As soon as the prisoner saw them walking in, he immediately limped back from the door.
These two who had dangerously scary auras that made the already cold basement even colder.
With their masks on, the guards came in from behind those two and dragged the prisoner to the metal chair in the middle of the room.
"You..." Callum sneered. He masked his voice by speaking in a lower pitch than usual, "You have offended someone you shouldn't offend."
"W-Who are you..." Shangguan Xing trembled as those guards held him down, "Do you know who I am? I'm Shangguan Xing!"
"Oh? Shangguan Xing?" Callum asked innocently, "Are you somebody famous?"
Shangguan Xing felt braver when Callum asked him that question. Pushing the guards away and standing up, he puffed out his chest like a proud peacock before he proudly exclaimed, "I'm Shangguan Xing, son of the Police Commissioner, Shangguan Re Dong. If you let me go, he would reward you greatly."
"Reward?" Callum laughed and turned to DX, "Boss, you heard that? He would reward us greatly. How are you going to reward us then?"
DX ignored his rambling and walked towards Shangguan Xing. The killing pressure he exuded was so strong that Shangguan Xing fell back on the chair.
"W-What do..."
Without a word, DX slammed a fist into his face. The force was so great that Shangguan Xing flew off the chair and landed on the floor.
Calmly, DX walked towards him. When the man saw the monster walking towards him, he slowly edged towards the wall as he pleaded for his life.
"P-please..."
When he backed all the way to the wall, Shangguan Xing scrambled to get on his knees as he begged, "Please let me go! Why are you doing this... What have I done to you? If it's money you want, we have a lot."
As soon as he stopped talking, DX backhanded him so hard that one of Shangguan Xing's teeth flew out.
When he saw the man crying and bleeding, his anger subsided slightly but this was not enough. He wanted more blood. Shangguan Xing had to pay for what he had done to his little minx.
DX thought, "Death would be too easy for him."
Shangguan Xing held his swollen face as he cried, "Pl-please don't kill me..."
He did not know what went wrong. He did not do anything wrong to these people.
DX lowered his voice as he snarled, "Did you let her go when she begged?"
Before Shangguan Xing can say anything, a foot connected with his chest and it sent him flying off to the wall.
As they watched those two, Callum and his guards shared the same thought, "Of all the people, you dared to touch his woman. If only he allows you to die so easily..."
Shangguan Xing sang out in a loud high pitch tone when DX stepped on his groin. Based on what he told him, he knew then that the woman on the bed belonged to this man.
However, dumb as he was, he thought that the woman was a temporary plaything and he continued to talk, "Please s-stop. Sh-she was just a woman! If you want, I can give you a lot more. If you want virgins, I can also give it to you!"
The anger that had slightly subsided by then intensified as DX pulled up the man and threw him across the room.
Shangguan Xing groaned as he rolled about in pain, "Please...I'm framed! I really...I really don't know..how.. how she would...be there..."
As he slowly walked towards him, DX said, "I know you are framed."
