It took a whole ten seconds for Jayden and Lyndsay to realize what was going on.
“You… How did you get here? L-Levi Garrison…” Lyndsay gulped anxiously.
“Where’s the security? Why is such scum allowed in here? Are all of you just for show?” Jayden called out to the security guards.
But there was no one left to heed his call.
“Oh, about the security guards, they’re all lying on the floor outside. Is there something you need?” Levi asked.
“Y-y-you…”
The devious smile on Levi’s face sent a chill down Jayden’s spine.
Levi approached them and sat down in Jayden’s chair.
“Get up! That’s my chair. How dare you sit in my place?” Jayden rebuked.
However, in the face of Levi’s terrifying gaze, Jayden quickly shut his mouth.
“Do you know why I’m here to see you?” Levi asked.
Jayden and Lyndsay both shook their heads but were unable to hide the guilt on their faces.
“Do you really not know?” Levi asked again.
“We don’t!” Everyone shook their heads.
At that moment, Levi suddenly slammed Jayden’s head onto the office desk.
Bang!
He then grabbed the computer and walloped Jayden’s head with it.
Crack!
Blood splattered all over as glass from the computer screen splintered out.
The gruesome scene shocked everyone there.
Lyndsay and the rest shuddered in horror when they heard Jayden scream in anguish.
“Do you still not know?” Levi asked again.
“No… I know, I know…”
Before anyone else said a thing, Jayden yelled in capitulation.
“But Mr. Garrison, this has nothing to do with us,” Jayden began to deny.
“Nothing to do with you? Tell me, Lyndsay, are you guys involved?” Levi demanded.
“No, I know that you suspect us, but we really didn’t do it. We are Pinnacle Group which is supported by the Garrison family. Do you think we would stoop so low as to do such a thing?” Lyndsay explained.
“That’s right. Given how noble our status is, committing such a despicable act is beyond us,” the others added.
“Are you really not involved?” Levi asked.
“N-No!” Everyone shook their heads.
Whoosh!
Out of the blue, Levi grabbed a pen and stabbed it into Jayden’s palm.
“Argh!” Jayden let out an agonizing cry, causing everyone to turn pale and break out in cold sweat.
“Are you involved?” Levi continued to interrogate.
Despite being overwhelmed with fear, Lyndsay was persistent in her denial. “No… we’re not.”
“Kirin, bring me the blade!” Levi extended his hand.
Kirin unsheathed a customized military blade and handed it to Levi, who then fiddled with it.
He asked Kirin, “Do you remember how many slashes I made on the enemy spy before he spilled the beans?”
Kirin pondered for a moment. “I think it was three hundred and twenty-eight. He’s the most stubborn man I have ever encountered. Only after being covered with so many cuts did he confess everything.”
Levi looked at Kirin and smiled. “Kirin, you may not believe what I’m going to say. My carving technique is so good that I can give a man a thousand cuts without killing him. Every cut of mine is able to avoid the vital points. However, the spy disappointed me as I was confident of reaching a thousand cuts then.”
“Boss, I really have to see it with my own eyes to believe it.” Kirin was filled with disbelief.
Levi turned to Lyndsay and the rest with a smile. “I’ll prove it to you by demonstrating it on them with my blade. I guarantee that I can make a thousand cuts, and they will still survive.”
Hearing that, Kirin replied in glee, “That’s a great idea. I just can’t wait!”
