Let me in

After a 40 minutes drive the black Maybach stopped in front of the stoic grand gates of the Phoenix mansion. He Mufeng opened the back door and a pair of long slender legs stepped outside.

The aloof Lu Ye Ze stood in front of the gates with a complicated look on his face, emanating an aura that can shatter glaciers in a gazillion pieces. He was a demon that surfaced from the deepest Hell into the common world and his thirst of collecting souls for his harem has intesified abrubtly. Many thought that this man was heartless and unapproachable. Only a few people that were closely working under him knew, that in fact, he was much more ruthless than what he portrayed on the outside. He despised everyone and anyone.

When he was a child his parents gifted him a tiger pet, intending to appease his emotional side, but he snapped the poor cub's neck with cold blood and not even a flint of emotion. His parents were terrified, they brought into the world a demon not a child. They have tried everything and anything in teaching him love and kindness. It was all fruitless, the child had neither a heart nor a conscience. His parents have questioned themselves many times, what position did they held in his heart, did it matter at all if they existed or not? Was he even born with a heart?

The two men stood outside the entrance looking beyond the grand gates in to the darkness. There was absolutely no sound or soul in sight, it was only darkness and a deafening silence.

Lu Ye Ze made a hand gesture to his assistant to ring the intercom by the gate. The piercing buzz made one shiver. Complete silence, there was no answer from the other end of the intercom.

Lu Ye Ze's gaze had become sharper and colder, the sweet beads on He Mufeng's forehead froze instantly. Out of fright, his fingers that were still lingering on the buzzer, suddenly straightened and the movement activated the buzzer again. Another piercing sound was echoed through the meticulously landscaped forest behind the closed gates.

Silence... A few seconds have passed and before the call got disconnected, the lean man addresses the intercom in english.

''Let me in"

He Mufeng was puzzled and terrified, who are they, what do they want and why have they done this atrocious thing. Why has his master addressed them in English? Does he suspect anyone?

A second before the call got disconnected, the light of the intercom flashed amber, indicating that somebody has answered the call at the other end. As soon as it got connected a hushed breathing was heard, as though the other person wanted to say something but stopped before it can utter a single word. In the next moment the button was released and the call got disconnected.

He Mufeng was speechless. He took a deep breath and before he managed to say something, Lu Ye Ze interrupted him.

''Pass me the laptop"
