I had the driver turn the car around and head straight for Kaiyue Restaurant, it wasn't the right time to burn bridges yet.
When I got there, a waiter, who had been waiting, directly showed me upstairs into the private room.
As soon as I entered, I saw Master Zhao sitting at the head of the table eating a steak, the cold dining knife clinking against the plate from time to time, sending out a grating screech.
This scene made me panic instantly, and I had a bad feeling brewing in the pit of my stomach. I walked over carefully, "Master Zhao, may I know why you summoned me?"
Master Zhao gestured for me to come over. Although I didn't want to, I dared not defy his orders on his turf and, begrudgingly suppressing the creepy-crawlies, inched closer step by step.
"Master Zhao..." I barely started speaking when Master Zhao suddenly got up, grabbed me by the throat, and slammed me down on the dining table.
