Happy Reading😊

"What are you thinking about? You look out of place, Peng?" Off asked in surprise because Tay had been daydreaming and not focused on his work.

Of course Off could tell right away with just one look. Because he is not only Tay's right-hand man but also his best friend who has been a friend for a long time. So he understands everything about his friend.

Tay exhaled heavily. "I don't know, there's something stuck in my mind."

"About your new partner?"

Tay nodded. "Nanon was immediately close to the man."

"Isn't that great?" Off asked in surprise that Tay seemed unhappy about it.

Tay turned to Off . " You know what I'm thinking?" Tay asked, looking straight at Off.

"You don't need to worry, Peng. He's a good man, I've investigated his background. And you also know about it, right?"

"Yes, I know. But still don't understand why he approached lass Test extends Thread Nanon."

"Maybe he loved Nanon," Off said lightly.

"Impossible," Tay protested firmly.

"Why not?"

"Nobody loves Nanon."

"Including you?" Suddenly Off's question made Tay shut up.

Tay felt slapped at his own words. During this time he had never been on good terms with his son, now he worries that others will hurt Nanon. Even though he often hurt Nanon with his indifference and did not care about his son.

Tay rubbed his face roughly. "I never hated it."

"I know, you just still can't accept his presence."

"Maybe Nano never said this, but I know he needs you."

Tay just keep quiet and didn't intend to reply to Off's speech.

Off glanced at his watch. "The meeting will start soon. I have to go back to my desk to prepare the documents."

Tay nodded. "Come out," he said lightly.

***********

Around five in the afternoon, Tay arrived at the mansion. He stepped into the mansion and headed into the basement.

THUK!

Tay's footsteps were heavy as he descended the stairs.

The place looked dark and lonely. There was no illuminating light other than the small dim light above. However, the light was enough to see the entire room, even though it was dim.

There are so many prison-like confinements with sizes smaller and narrower for the human body. Because this place was used for torture, Tay deliberately designed it in such a way to make this room the worst prison for his prisoners. Error, not prisoners but pets. Yep, Tay prefers to treat them like animals.

In the room, there was only a man who was standing with his hands and feet tied to a pole. The person opened his eyes which were filled with blood and slowly dried. His body stiffened at once when he found Tay is in front of him.

Tay passed the man and stepped toward a cupboard filled with special tools. The tools were prepared and used to provide good memories on the bodies of prisoners. Tay picked up a small, not very sharp knife. Indeed, it cannot kill a human with one stab, but don't forget the pain that this dull knife was forced to penetrate the flesh. And that was the real goal, giving him such intense pain before he killed him.

Tay gave a lopsided smile, then turned his body towards the person who was currently looking so scared at the knife in his grasp. "It's been a long time since we had fun," he said, grinning as he touched the tip of a knife."

That person shook his head with a look on his face. He couldn't remember how Tay treated him every time he tortured him. "I beg you, don't," whispered the man with a sad look.

"You're scared, huh?" said Tay, smiling sarcastically as he slashed the man's chest with a gentle motion and pressed hard.

"Aaaakkkhhh!!" he shouted in pain.

"You should have thought from the start about what might happen when you were caught as a spy," hissed Tay as he continued to slice the person's skin with an expression like a psychopath. Tay enjoyed it so much and paid no attention to the screams of the person who kept begging Tay to stop. There was an inexplicable satisfaction of hearing the sweet voice of someone screaming in pain.

"Please just kill me, sir. I beg you," Begged the man begging for the umpteenth time. Because he could not bear the pain and live in pain like this.

"Hahahahaha!" Tay's laughter filled the entire room.

"Don't worry, I'll grant it," he said pleasantly with a thin smile. However, a second later his face turned flat to coincide with the knife that had stuck right into the person's heart.

New's eyes widened as if his eyeballs were almost out of place. He shut his mouth in disbelief at Tay who had just killed someone.

Tay who saw someone from the corner of his eye immediately turned towards the person and found New standing in a place not far from him with a pale face.

Tay pulled the knife out roughly and dropped it on a floor. Then he walked towards New calmly.

"Why are you here?" hissed Tay sharply and intimidatingly.

New's heartbeat twice as fast as usual. His knees suddenly felt weak. He slowly retreated backward, staring in horror at Tay's bloodied hands.

"I-I forgot to walk," he said nervously.

"Then, I'll be going. Sorry for bothering you." New hurried away from the room the wide strides cursing himself for insisting on entering. Even though from the beginning his mind had warned him to pass through the room, but instead he still went in and dug his own grave.

After leaving the room, New accelerated his steps with an uneasy feeling.

No wonder his father insisted on forbidding him to marry Tay. It turned out that the man who was going to marry him was a murderer.

His life is over!

Arriving at the room, New was startled by the closet door which suddenly opened itself. "Nanon!" New shrieked in surprise to see Nano emerge from the cupboard.

"Mopa can't find Nano, hehe," he said cheerfully.

New immediately approached Nanon with a face that looked both worried and relieved at the same time. "Why is Nano here?" New asked anxiously while hugging Nanon's body tightly.

"Mopa said Nano had to hide in a safe place so he wouldn't be caught," Nano said innocently.

New sighed softly. He never expected Nanon to be hiding in the closet. He thought Nanon would hide behind the door like the other kids were playing this game.

"Mopa is worried," he said with a wistful gaze.

Nanon put on a sad face when he felt the uneasiness from New's tone of voice. His tiny hand went up to return New's hug. "Sorry, Mopa," he felt guilty as he kissed New's cheek.

New closed his eyes deeply and tightened his embrace against Nanon's body to get rid of the fear that was currently haunting him.
