Shen Xiao's breath caught in his throat. He doesn't recall seeing these men anywhere, but with their aura they carried authority...
He turned around and gazed at Bai Zhi, who was still being held hostage, as a man moved over and whispered to Jin Zhou.
Jin Zhou didn't answer right away but let his eyes roam around and then gazed at the stairs.
He reached the center of the sitting area, boots sinking slightly into the expensive rug, and only then did he lift his gaze to meet Shen Xiao's.
"I think," Jin Zhou said slowly, almost lazily, "you are in no position to give orders here."
The words were soft, but they carried the weight of a hammer.
The room seemed to shrink that even Scarface shifted his stance, his earlier smirk dulling into something more cautious.
Shen Xiao's jaw immediately flexed. His eyes darted once to Bai Zhi, her trembling had worsened, the gag pressing harshly against her lips.
