At Emp Stock Exchange, Brian stood in front of a huge screen watching the red and green numbers
and charts on it, with indifference and contempt written on his face. The look in his eyes was filled with
confidence and ruthlessness, and that arrogance suited those who were at the top of the pyramid.
Harrow stood beside him and was looking at the screen as well. The excitement in his gaze grew
deeper and deeper. After the market had closed, he said cheerfully," What a good job Aaron has done!"
Brian slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, then moved his gaze away from the huge screen and
turned his eyes to the monitoring screen of the lobby. In the picture, some people were shouting madly,
and some were crying loud; others, who were extremely overwhelmed, were standing still with paper
and pen in their hands, and staring blankly at the screen in front of them.
In terms of these scenarios, the stock market could be likened to casinos. You might become a
billionaire there overnight, or you might get debt-ridden in a second.
Brian enjoyed the thrill of ups and downs, and that was why he engaged only in stocks and casinos.
To witness the sudden change of lives in such a short period of time was like the excitement one could
feel during a roller-coaster ride. It was dramatic and stimulating enough just to think about it.
A ruthless grin appeared on Brian's face when he thought, 'The greedier you are, the more you will lose
eventually!"
He stepped towards the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine and filled two glasses with it. After
handing one glass to Harrow, he said to him," Aaron isn't a simple person. One who's able to endure
silently and wait for his opportunity patiently like him will definitely make a hit sooner or later."
Harrow merely shrugged his shoulders in response. He sat down on the sofa and glanced at the
monitoring screen, and said unemotionally," I'm curious about what the news around the world will be
like tomorrow."
He thought indifferently, 'How many people will end their lives after such an unexpected and
unacceptable incident?'
"Not my business," Brian sneered and said coldly," and since they played their part in the game, they
should have been prepared for such a result."
Harrow fell silent. During this sudden change in the stock market, the stock prices of some promising
companies declined so considerably that they were suspended from trading, while other stocks which
weren't favored by most investors rocketed up in their values. However, these phenomena didn't
happen by accident but were orchestrated by Brian. Whether in casinos or on stock market, the so-
called 'luck' was actually a means of deceiving those who were ignorant to believe in it.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. After Brian had replied "Come in," Tony pushed
the door open and went inside. He glanced at Harrow, and then walked up to Brian and said," Mr. Long,
Miss Xia has left the villa."
After hearing his words, the look in Brian's eyes immediately turned cold. He asked," Didn't I say that
she wasn't allowed to leave the house?"
Tony paused for a little while, and then replied," Her mother is in hospital..."
Tony stopped for a moment before finishing his words because he suddenly felt the terrifying fury
radiating from Brian who was standing close to him. Besides fury, he also sensed some strange
feelings based on Brian's reaction that he wasn't able to understand.
"Send people out to search for her!" Brian shouted angrily. With a deep and serene gaze in his eyes,
he then continued to command," Keep your eyes on the Sacred Domain!"
"Yes, Mr. Long!" replied Tony immediately. He was about to leave when he saw that Brian quickly
dropped his wine glass on the desk and grabbed his coat from the sofa, and then rushed out.
His sudden unexpected move astonished the two left in the room, especially Harrow
Who asked out of curiosity," What happened?"
Tony glanced at him and then replied calmly," News came that the Sacred Domain might take revenge
on Molly because of what happened to David."
"Really?" said Harrow with an arched eyebrow. Tony nodded to him in reply, and then hurriedly left the
room.
The relaxing atmosphere a while ago was stirred by the sudden happening, with Brian's fury still
haunting the room. Harrow raised his glass and took a small sip. Then he lifted the corners of his
mouth giving a sly smile.
"Interesting!" he murmured to himself. "Limiting her freedom, making enemies because of her, failing to
control emotions... Brian, don't you think that you're taking this game too seriously? I'm curious about
how Becky will react to this once she knows about it." ...
In a dim corner of a tin-sheet house, the air was filled with unpleasant smells of all sorts and the
disgusting odor of rust.
Molly was curled up on the floor, her hands tied behind her back, her eyes blindfolded and mouth
taped.
After she had left the villa and had gotten in the taxi some time earlier, she had told the driver to send
her to the hospital. However, the driver had driven towards somewhere else, and it was too late when
she had noticed that something was wrong.
Because her mouth was taped, she breathed heavily through her nose, and her wrists had been
rubbed raw by the rope during her attempts to get free. As time passed, her body gradually became
colder and colder because of the icy touch of the cemented floor.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the darkness, and after it, Molly heard some heavy footsteps
approaching her in front. She felt the danger and subconsciously moved her body backwards. By doing
so, she knocked into a bulging object whose sharp edges slit her clothes and cut her skin. A muffled
groan came out from her throat because of the sharp pain.
Then with a tearing hiss, the tape on Molly's mouth and the blindfold over her eyes were torn off, and
she was soon overwhelmed by the pain and the sudden strong light burning her eyes. She closed her
eyes instinctively and uncontrollably cried a scream of agony. After a little while, she opened her eyes
again, and saw a man squatting down in front of her.
"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?" Molly asked as her voice trembled with fear. She stared at
the man who radiated a sense of danger. Terrified, she couldn't help but move her body back, colliding
with the sharp object behind her once again, at which her eyebrows tightly frowned because of the
pain.
Tyler looked at her with greedy eyes, and a Schweizer Messer appeared in his hand. The sharp edge
of the knife shone vibrantly amidst the insufficient light in the tin-sheet house. He lifted the knife and
lightly traced it across Molly's face. "Hmmm, you look great, but I'm curious about how you will taste,"
he said in a flirty tone.
Molly felt the cold touch of the knife and didn't dare to move a bit. She was so nervous that she almost
forgot about the piercing pain in her back. She noticed the undisguised lust in Tyler's eyes, and asked
while shivering," What?What... What do you want to do?"
Tyler laughed out loud, with obscene eagerness burning in his eyes. He dropped his gaze as he
lowered the knife, then swayed the blade up and cut Molly's collar open. The knife slightly scratched
her fair skin, and the wound bled a bit.
"Aw!" Molly screamed as she pulled herself backwards again, with the bulging object severely stabbing
her back.
"Ow!"
She almost fainted because of the intense agony mixed with the excruciating pain in her back, but she
had to gather up all her strength to endure it at the moment. She wanted to cover her torn clothes, but
her hands were still tied behind her. Horrified, she stared at the frightening lust in Tyler's eyes and
heavily shook her head shouting," What are you doing!"
Tyler replied with an obscene sneer, and glanced at her partly uncovered breasts. He swept his fingers
across the wound on her chest staining them with her blood. Then he put them under his mouth and
stuck out his tongue to lick them.
His sick behaviour terrified Molly even further. Her face quickly paled with fright and her lips trembled
so hard that they couldn't be kept close together.
"Mmmm! It tastes good!" Tyler said with a savage look shining in his eyes. He grabbed Molly's body
closer to him and closely leaned against her. His lips greedily touched the bleeding wound between her
breasts...
"No! Get away from me! Stop!" Molly screamed in panic and struggled fiercely. Her hands under her
body were already badly bruised, and the wound in her back caused by the bulging object was
bleeding heavily. She kept shouting helplessly," You get away from me! You should know that I'm
Brian's woman! If you don't let me go now, Brian won't let you get away with it so easily!"
At that very moment, Molly was so terrified that she couldn't think over the words before speaking them
out, and she couldn't help but mention Brian's name continuously. Faced with danger, she
subconsciously admitted her relationship with Brian which in normal circumstances, she would have felt
ashamed to blurt out loud.
However, contrary to what she had expected, Tyler got even more furious and more aggressive
whenever he heard the name she had called out in confusion.
After Tyler had licked the bleeding wound on her chest, he pinned her body down on the floor tightly.
He then raised his head and looked down at her with twitching lips, and said coldly," I brought you here
just because you're Brian's woman!"
After that, he tore off the only clothing left on Molly's upper body, leaving her whole body overwhelmed
by icy coldness...
"No!
Get away from me! Get away!" Molly shouted in hysteria with tears welling down on her cheeks, and
her scream echoed in the tin-sheet room.
She felt queasy when Tyler grabbed one of her breasts with his rough hand, and with despair and
shock in her eyes, she watched him lowered his head at her again while her whole body still struggled
in vain.
Right at that moment, just when Molly's heart was flooded with helplessness and despair, a figure
suddenly appeared at the room's door, blocking the light from outside and radiating a strangely cold yet
terrifying aura.
