Chapter 678: THE NEW BOSS IS HERE

In another private room, a woman with a unique aura stood in front of a large screen on the wall. She turned and looked to the centre of the amphitheatre through the two-way glass. While the arena was quite large, it was difficult to see the small details of the common watching seats and the competition stage.

However, the woman could see everything.

Unfortunately, she was bored.

She also wanted to know why the common watching area with the wild spectators was close to the stage while the private rooms were high above. There was also a huge screen above the arena to provide a more detailed view.

If anyone asked for her opinion, the ‘commoners’ below had a better view than her. Plus, she liked being in the middle of the action, at least, when something was exciting, with the promise of death and mayhem happening.

“This seems like a waste of time.” She pouted with annoyance.

Unlike most upper-class women, she did not have a proper and composed air. Rather, she was cute with bright eyes and impatience, indicating a need for action. Now, she looked like she was ready to start pacing in boredom, despite the electrified environment with screaming people.

.....

“Do not worry. Things will get exciting soon. You will not be disappointed, Little Boss.” A large man standing at the corner of the room in complete black military wear answered the woman with confidence.

She scoffed as she looked at the crowd on the lower level of the amphitheatre. “Don’t call me Little Boss. Why do people think that being in a higher spot is better? If I am going to watch someone die, I would rather be near the stage.”

The man in the military suit was not surprised by the comment. “It is for the sake of privacy and security. And we have high-definition screens to provide the best viewing experience. The people in the open seats cannot enjoy the clarity of the action as well as in the private booths.”

“As I said, if I want to watch someone die, I want to see them up close. This is no different from watching TV.” She said while turning her eerie gaze to the man in black military wear.

The woman appeared petite and unthreatening, but he knew from the look in her eyes and past personal experience she was a force to be reckoned with. It would only take a moment for her to turn the civil atmosphere into a bloodbath.

A chill ran down his spine, the longer she stared.

“Come here.” A different cool voice interrupted the room.

The unnerving expression dissipated from the woman’s face, and she turned her face into a coquettish countenance. She looked like a little darling, despite her age. She walked to the handsome man who called to her. She intended to sit next to him, but he pulled her to his lap.

“This is not interesting at all.” She said in a whiny tone.

The man was helpless. The two of them had been together for numerous years, but he still could not understand her impatience. She was someone who liked instant gratification, especially when it came to violence.

“It has not even started yet. You know the competition is about the brain, right?” He asked. He had explained the concept to her earlier, and she seemed quite interested. Now, she could not even bear the wait.

“You told me that it was going to involve some physical stuff. Unless people can die from thinking too much.” She paused. “It is not like I want to see people die, but I want to know they could die... Possibly...” She explained with a twinkle in her eyes.

“People do die from not thinking enough. You have to be patient.” The man tightened the strong arm around her waist. “Now, try this cocktail I ordered from you. It contains tequila, chocolate and angostura bitters.”

The woman did not continue arguing because it would not bring her benefits. She took the cocktail glass and tasted the sweet and bitter liquid inside. She immediately tilted her head in thought before taking a second sip. She looked at the man with a pout.

“That is not tequila. It is mescal.” She said.

“I cannot get anything past you.” The man laughed. “The recipe works better with mescal than tequila, but you can switch if you want.”

The woman kissed the man lightly on his lips before taking another sip. “No, I like it.”

She knew he did not like drinking, so the fact that he researched a recipe to satisfy her taste was already a sacrifice and a loving gesture. And she did love the strange chocolate drink. How could she even consider switching it?

“You two disgust me.” The man in a black military uniform said with disgust.

“Go away, Frank.” The woman shooed him away.

“I am here for your safety.” The man protested.

“Stand outside.” She responded with killing intent. “That is an order.”

“Whatever you say, boss.” The man smirked before stepping out of the room.

The woman changed again and put her arms around the handsome man. “Should we keep him around?”

The celestial man shifted her weight on his lap and drew her closer to him giving her a shot kiss. “It is your call. You are the one he has tried to kill on several occasions.”

The woman laughed. “If I got rid of everyone who has tried to kill me...”

Outside the room, the man in the military uniform looked at a serious woman in a suit with cold eyes. “Is everything ready to go?”

“Everything is on schedule. The competition will begin in ten minutes. We have checked all the systems. There should not be any problems.”

“Very well. Make sure nothing goes wrong. The event needs to be the best. The new boss does not like to be disappointed.” The man smiled with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.

He was not afraid that people would die during the event. He was afraid that the lack of death might be too boring for the new boss.

“What about Shi? Has he arrived?” He asked.

The woman hesitated a little. Technically, she was Shi’s assistant. Therefore, she felt like she was a Judas for even working with this man who had the most nonhuman eyes she had ever seen. However, she could not afford to offend him.

“He has not arrived yet. But he will be attending the event.” She answered.

The man looked to the arena below and smiled. “Let me know when he arrives. Tonight will be a night to remember.”

The woman bowed slightly and left.
