At first glance the water in the bathtub looked calm, flowing gently with no ripples, until suddenly a wet head filled with black hair emerged from the water.
Feng Mei Hiu gasped heavily, pushing back the wet strands of hair from his face. He stepped out of the cooling water, his wet feet leaving prints on the tiled floor as he wrapped a blue bathrobe around his naked figure.
Jin Liang and Ken had brought him to an hotel room after the incident at the mall.
The cold air from the AC was chilling as he stepped into the room, but Feng Mei Hiu didn't bother to turn on the heater. Sitting down at the vanity, he gazed at his reflection in the mirror calmly for a few seconds, his mind still reeling from his conversation with the system an hour ago.

Flashback
"Fu Xiang you need to calm down." Feng Mei Hiu glared at the system.
"Why did you bring me here?" His voice sounded hallow and raw.
"You were unstable, I had to bring you into your mental space to prevent you from harming yourself." On a normal day, Feng Mei Hiu would have found a talking trashcan hilarious, but right now he was drained.
"It's not fair that people like that," Feng Mei Hiu paused, his eyes darkening with hate, "monsters like that, who abuse and torture innocent people get to live a normal life, while I have to bear the scars of his action."
"So, what would you prefer to do to him?" Xiao Li Ja Tong asked with hesitation.
"Kill him, cut him into a million pieces." The chill in his eye made the system shiver.
"Will that really make you feel better?" Feng Mei Hiu didn't reply, but a dark grin graced his lips.
"I lied," Xiao Li Ja Tong sighed, "when I said you couldn't kill anyone, it was a lie."
"You lied." Feng Mei Hiu accused in a raspy voice.
"When you first woke up, your soul was very unstable and filled with dark thoughts, if I hadn't lied, you would have killed people." Xiao Li Ja Tong said steadily. "The main system doesn't set any rules for reborn souls, it is the job of the system to help it's host find redemption."
"Killing won't fill the hole in your heart Fu Xiang, it won't heal the scars and if your soul gets darkened the main system will see you as a threat and end you, I lied to protect you."
"So, why are you telling me all this now?" Feng Mei Hiu gazed at the system with complex emotions.
"Because you're hurting and if you don't find a way to free yourself from the pain you will hurt yourself, I care about you Fu Xiang, I really do."

"Boss Feng." Ken was startled the moment the door was opened revealing a pale Feng Mei Hiu wearing only a bathrobe.
"Han Yichen's number." Feng Mei Hiu handed his phone to Ken who inputs the number into the device.
Feng Mei Hiu retuned to his room, and dialed the number, placing the call on video
call. The call was answered after the fifth ring.
"Calling me so late at night while wearing so little, what game are you playing at darling." Han Yichen wore his signature smirk.
"That man at the mall, I want him." Feng Mei Hiu was in no mood to entertain his jokes.
"What man?" Feng Mei Hiu could have rolled his eyes at Han Yichen's oblivious look.
"Don't act as though Ken and Jin Liang haven't already informed you of what happened at the mall." Feng Mei Hiu sighed.
"Song Lin, 35 years old alpha, born to a pair of teachers in Riverside Village married with three kids and lives in Sunshine Complex, apartment 201 in Flower Town, studied pharmacy is Vision Medical College, works with New Life Pharmaceuticals."
Three kids? That beast has children?.
"I want him Han Yichen, I want his life." Han Yichen smiled a the dark gleam in Feng Mei Hiu's eyes.
"I can't just make a grown man disappear, people are going to start looking if kind Doctor Song suddenly goes missing." Han Yichen hummed.
"Making a single man disappear can't be a big problem for you." Feng Mei Hiu arched a brow.
"But as you know, I am a business man, if I give you Song Lin, what do I get in return?" Feng Mei Hiu had expected nothing less from Han Yichen.
"I don't have anything to offer you now, I will owe you a favor." Ha Yichen frowned.
"Baby, you do know that you're currently worthless except for the shares you own, your favor doesn't really hold any value to me." Han Yichen chuckled.
"I may not have any value to you right now, but I will be worth more in the future." Feng Mei Hiu smiled,"you're a business man, taking risks shouldn't be unfamiliar to you."
"Alright you owe me a favor,"Han Yichen narrowes his eyes, "anything that I want." Feng Mei Hiu nods, at this moment he doesn't know how dangerous his promise is.

Song Lin woke up with a pained groan, it took a minute for his brain to register his surroundings, tied up in a chair in the middle of a small badly lit room. He begins to sweat, fear and nervousness pooling in the pit if his stomach, one moment he was entering his car after buying groceries and the next he was here.
"You woke up earlier than I presumed." A cold voice snaps his attention towards the corner of the room, he squints his eyes but the dim lightning don't allow him to get a proper look on the person's features.
Song Lin isn't kept in anticipation for long before the person steps into the light. The black sneakers are the first to step into view, his fear filled eyes following slim legs covered in black jeans and stopping on a face covered with a dark hoodie.
"Who are you?" Song Lin asks nervously.
The mysterious male pushes the hoodie back to reveal a stunning face and piercing blue eyes, his black hair tied up in a bun. Song Lin's eyes widened.
"It's you," he snaps, "the crazy omega I bumped into at the shopping mall."
"Crazy omega." Feng Mei Hiu chuckled, "that's a new one." His fingers trace the weapons placed on the table, they are a tempting variety and Feng Mei Hiu settles on a long black knife.
"Please," Song Lin swallows nervously as he watches the light reflecting on the gleaming blade,"I don't know you, let me go." He cried.
"But I know you," Feng Mei Hiu hummed as he approached Song Lin with slow measured steps, excitement coursing through his body, "we are just getting started, why are you so eager to leave."
"I..I..I.." Song Lin is a stuttering mess as Feng Mei Hiu trails the knife down from his face to his chest, he drags the knife through his shirt destroying his shirt to reveal the front part of his chest, resting the knife on his throat.
"You're excited," Feng Mei Hiu smiles, "I can smell your pheromones, they are getting thicker in the air."
"I am not." Song Lin's voice is steady, but he can't deny the arousal coursing through his veins, tied up and at the mercy of such a pretty omega, he can't help but think of all the things he could do to the omega with that knife.
"You like pain, like inflicting it," Feng Mei Hiu digs the knife deeper, a small red trial leaking from his neck, "but have you ever felt pain, has it ever been inflicted on you." Song Lin can't control the moan that falls from his lips.
Feng Mei Hiu smirks, his blue eyes growing colder as the knife trails lower, stopping on Song Lin's bulge. He unbuckles the trouser, leaving Song Lin's dick exposed to the cold and without mercy he stabs the knife in, a pained howl ripping through the air.
"You have always liked pain, today you will die gasping in throes of pain."
"Please, please, please." Song Lin cries.
But Feng Mei Hiu doesn't listen, why should he? Song Lin didn't listen when he pleaded. He brings the knife down and with one clean slice cuts the organ off. Something so small and pathetic had caused him so much pain.
"That's it, scream louder." Feng Mei Hiu chuckles, Song Lin's screams are like music to his ears. Song Lin is sweaty and pale, gasping weakly, he can't move when Feng Mei Hiu grips his head and brings his ear close to his lips.
"Your songbird missed you." Song Lin's eyes widened, body shaking in fear, it couldn't be.
Feng Mei Hiu's knife plunges repeatedly into his body, laughing madly. "Do you like it being shoved into you? Scream, scream louder."
By the time Song Lin grows silent, his body is disfigured, eyes blown wide in the pain he suffered till he died.
Feng Mei Hiu heaves heavily as he placed the knife on Song Lin's heart, such a beast actually had a heart. Song Lin's body is mangled and unrecognizable.
Feng Mei Hiu drops the knife, his body is covered with blood, warm and disgusting.
"Jin Liang is waiting in the car, you can leave fisrt and I will handle the body." Ken's voice snaps him out of his daze. Feng Mei Hiu didn't know when Ken had entered the room, if he had seen him like that, but it didn't matter.
"Can you help me with something?" Feng Mei Hiu's blue eyes never leave Song Lin's corpse.
"Anything Boss Feng."

When a package appeared at the Zhao mansion for Mr Zhao, the maid thought nothing of it as she delivered the package to him in his study.
"Sir, a package for you." She bowed politely as she dropped the brown bag on the table.
Mr Zhao frowned and waved the maid away, he had not ordered any package, but he didn't think too much on it, maybe it was a gift from Zhao An Na.
He brought out a black box from the bag, his eyes widened in shock as the box clattered to the floor, a lifeless head staring back at him with a note written in blood attached to the head.
"The monster you made."
