Reign Of The Asura

Chapter 9 That Was Just an Act!

"You've got some nerve, yelling at my woman and threatening her right in front of me." Evan's voice was flat and cold. "Are you tired of living?"

Young Master Dean leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. His chest felt like it had been hit with a hammer, and blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Evan with a look of horror.

This man hadn't touched him at all. He had only waved his hand.

A cultivator. The street thug he'd insulted a moment ago turned out to be a cultivator.

"You... you..."

"Get the hell out of here." Evan didn't even bother to look at him. "If you're not gone in three breaths... I'll finish you off!"

Young Master Dean struggled to his feet, one hand pressed against his chest. He staggered toward the door, but before leaving, he still managed to look back with eyes full of hatred.

"Just you wait! I'll pay you back for this humiliation!"

"Go on, run and tell that old geezer with one foot in the grave back at your house," Evan replied, waving him off.

The door slammed shut.

The room fell quiet again. Vanessa looked at Evan, who was still standing behind her.

This man hadn't acted that harshly because he himself had been insulted. He had only moved after Young Master Dean yelled at her and threatened her.

For some reason, Vanessa's heart felt warm.

"You're so reckless!" she said, covering up the feeling.

Evan let go of Vanessa's shoulders, then sat himself down on top of her desk like he owned it.

"Reckless how, gorgeous?"

Vanessa sighed.

"The Dori family is very hard to deal with. It's not just that they have a lot of strong fighters. They also have powerful backing behind them."

Evan snorted.

"I'm not scared at all! Are you underestimating your boyfriend here?" he asked playfully.

Vanessa rolled her eyes.

"Who's your girlfriend!"

"Hey... hey, you're the one who admitted it just now."

Vanessa's cheeks turned slightly red.

"That was just an act! I've wanted to get rid of him for a long time, so... so I just took the opportunity."

Evan immediately clutched his chest with a pained look.

"My heart hurts so bad... ow! I was so happy... and you... it turns out you were just pretending."

Watching him carry on, Vanessa found it funny. A faint smile appeared on her cold face, something people rarely ever got to see.

"Enough. Go lie back down. I need to get back to work!"

Evan was still pretending to be heartbroken. He trudged over to the sofa with heavy steps, then flopped down on it face-first.

Vanessa shook her head.

"Honestly!"

===

In the lobby, the employees of Vanessa Property stared at Young Master Dean as he staggered along with blood on his mouth.

They looked at one another. Who would dare to hurt the young master of the Dori family?

Then they remembered the handsome, wealthy young man who had arrived that morning with Vanessa and Bianca.

"Was that the work of that handsome young master from earlier?"

"Could be!"

Everyone in the company knew Young Master Dean had been after Vanessa for a long time. Their guess was simple. That young man was close to Vanessa, the two of them got into a fight, and Young Master Dean was the one who came out battered.

Young Master Dean ignored their stares. He stopped in front of his car, took out his phone, and called someone.

"Send people to Vanessa Property, now," he said through clenched teeth. "There's someone I want gone."

He got into his car. But the car didn't drive away.

===

A short while later, a black sedan pulled up behind Young Master Dean's car.

Four men in neat suits stepped out. They were solidly built, and their faces were expressionless.

Young Master Dean got out of his car, and the four men walked straight up to him.

"Where's the person you want gone, Young Master?"

"He's in Vanessa's office!"

Without another question, the four men walked into the company building.

Young Master Dean watched their backs with a satisfied, vicious expression.

"Bastard, this is what you get for daring to offend me!" he muttered.

At the entrance, the guards tried to block their way. The four men ignored them. Any guard reckless enough to stand in front of them was struck down on the spot.

The employees panicked. The receptionist hurriedly grabbed the phone and called Vanessa's office.

===

Vanessa's face turned serious after she received the news. She put down the receiver and looked toward the sofa.

"Young Master Dean sent four men. They're already in the lobby, and they've beaten the guards."

Evan, who had been lying face down, got up right away.

"Damn it, so he wants his revenge right now." He stretched until his bones cracked. "Come on! Let's go take a look!"

He walked to the door.

Vanessa rushed to block his way.

"Don't go. The people Young Master Dean sent have to be very strong!"

Evan looked at her, then smiled.

"Did you forget what happened yesterday?"

Vanessa fell silent at once.

The image came back to her. A hail of bullets slamming into this man's body, then dropping with a clink onto the asphalt without putting a single hole in his shirt.

Before she realized it, Evan had already opened the door. He stepped forward, and his body shot off, leaving only a faint afterimage behind.

Vanessa was stunned. Her eyes couldn't follow the movement at all.

"How can he be that fast!" Vanessa said to herself.

She hurried after him.

===

In the lobby, the four men in suits were already standing in front of the elevator.

Ding.

The elevator doors opened.

Inside, a handsome young man stood leaning against the wall with both hands in his pockets.

"Yo." Evan grinned widely. "You four must be that idiot's errand boys, right?"

The four men's faces turned ice-cold.

"So you're the one who messed with our Young Master."
