Sound of people screaming could be heard when Kevin came downstairs in the underground basement. Blood was spilling everywhere on the cell. Seven men were hanging half-naked like pieces of meats while Max was standing in front of them smirking cleaning the blood from his tool that he used. He heard footsteps and slowly turned around.
"Oh big boss you finally come," said Max happily.
"Good job Max! Did you find anything from the scumbags?" asked Kevin looking coldly at every single of them.
"Yes of course big boss." Max was looking at all of them before pointing at the one in the middle and smiled happily. "This guy was the one that touched the miss, big boss, but he refused to say who he is working for."
Kevin took out his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeve and walked in front of the guy hanging in the middle. The guy in the middle woke up when he felt someone dragging his hair up, he cried in pain and looked up to meet Kevin's murderous gaze.
"Refused ha? You dared to touch her ha? You wish to die that early?" Kevin said while punching him on the face.
"Argh..ahhh..ii..I'm..sssorry huuu," said the guy while spitting out blood.
"Oh I'm not the one you should apologize too" Kevin went to the side and took the small towel Max gave him to wipe the blood on his hand before he turned around and saw assistant June and elder Shen coming in with his men. "Elder Shen."
"Are they the kidnappers?" asked elder Shen looking dangerously at the seven men that were heavily injured hanging like kebab meets waiting to be roasted.
"Yes," said Kevin looking at elder Shen.
"Good! It has been several years since I last tortured someone." said elder Shen looking at his men holding out his tools. Nails bats, knives, guns, daggers, Chinese cleaver, whip, fire ants, horns, and snakes were set up. Elder Shen took out one of his sharp blades and pointed at the face toward the guy in the middle. "You guys don't wanna live any longer? Good, I shall grant you that wish."
Elder Shen was about to stab him when Kevin suddenly stopped him. "Why are you stopping me young Lee brat?" said elder Shen glaring at Kevin.
"I don't want u to dirty your hand elder Shen," said Kevin while gently putting elder Shen's right hand down and took the sharp knives and gave it to Max who was standing right next to Kevin.
"Then who's gonna do it?" asked elder Shen annoyingly.
"Let Max do it! He is very good at it," said Kevin glancing at Max.
Max who was standing right beside them jumped in excitement like a child that got candies. "I can kill them this time right big boss?"
Kevin looked at him and smiled. "Sure"
The kidnappers that were awake started to cry and asked for mercy. Max walked over and opened his toolbox that he used early but stopped and looked over at the tools that elder Shen came with, and looked back at his little toolbox. Kevin saw that he was comparing his tools with elder Shen's tools and made a mental note to buy him more tools.
Elder Shen went up to Max and patted on his back. "Your name was Max, right? You can take the tools I brought with me and use it on them." Before he walked outside the cell with Kevin and their assistant.
"Thank you, sir," said Max joyfully.
Once elder Shen and Kevin were out of the cell the warm scarlet liquid glided down the metal tip of the blade and dripped spots on the ground. Drip by drip. He looked back at the kidnapers and smirked before he spun the blade in his hand like a pencil, Max stopped and pointed the sharp end to the kidnapper's chest. Slowly and teasingly, he traced circles on the torso. Locking his eyes on the kidnapper's fearful gaze, Max smirked and stopped drawing. With the point of the blade sitting on the bare chest, he whispered, "I wonder how fast your heart will race if I skin you alive flesh by flesh until I dig a deep hole to reach your heart."

Outside the cell
"He is good." said elder Shen looking satisfied at Max torturing one by one.
"He is," said Kevin quietly.
"So tell me how did you find out that they kidnapped my granddaughter?" asked elder Shen as he turned around to look at Kevin.
Assistant June who was standing right beside Kevin started to sweat when he saw how elder Shen was looking suspected at Kevin.
Kevin was looking calmly at elder Shen. "I happened to pass by and saw her running away from them."
Elder Shen was still looking suspected at him and was about to ask more when his phone started to ring, he picked up his phone from his pocket and saw Francesca was calling him. "Hello, little flower? Oh, pa had an emergency meeting but is done now so pa will be home in 15 min, alright pa will come home bye-bye little flower.�� He glanced at Kevin. "Well thank you young brat Lee for telling me this, I have to go now."
"How's miss Shen doing? asked Kevin looking expressionless.
Elder Shen was about to go when he stopped. "She is doing fine, you don't have to worry about her."
Kevin noded. "June please show Elder Shen the way out"
Assistant June was still standing looking surprised over how Elder Shen's dangerous voice turned suddenly to a sweet grandpa's voice for a second that he didn't hear what Kevin was saying. Kevin was looking at assistant June weirdly before calling him out again.
"Yyes CEO Lee, this way chairman Shen." said assistant June.

The Shen mansion
Elder Shen came back with a strawberry cake he bought on the way home and saw Francesca sitting on the couch with her MacBook Air looking concentrated for some reason. "Little flower! What are you watching?"
"Oh hi, pa! I wasn't watching anything, I'm applying for university in London," said Francesca while showing him 10 different universities in London.
"You wanna study abroad? Why not study here?" asked elder Shen while putting his glasses on.
"I remember daddy used to say that studied business in Europe will open more opportunities and London is listed to have one of the best universities for business, is that strawberry cake?" asked Francesca looking up from her MacBook.
"Oh, it does? Then chose the one you like the most and yes it is." said elder Shen opening the strawberry cake.
Francesca was looking for a while and was now stuck with three universities that offer what she wanted. The campus and the classroom were pretty big according to the picture, they have a big modern library and even offer a training studio with a gymnasium. She looked for a while before she gave up and took the small plate with strawberry cake elder Shen gave her and ate it. Elder Shen drank his green tea and looked up those three universities Francesca liked and he himself found it difficult to choose between them. He looked for a while before he suddenly came with a good idea.
"Little flower why don't we travel to London as a vacation? So you can see the university for yourself and then decide from there which one you wanna choose." said elder Shen
"That's a good idea pa," said Francesca giving him a hug.
