[Broom, Night]
Silent, Silent, And there was only the sound of the sounds of the animals of the night that were mutually unpretentious. A few echoing footsteps filled a room with minimal light.
A moment of silence was created in the room, There were several members of the Dormitory already gathered there along with the owner of the Dormitory (Except Chloe). One of them kicked their prisoner's leg to his knees, then removed the prisoner's duct tape and blindfold without releasing the rope that tied the prisoner's hand.
No other captive is Ethan William. For a moment his eyes blinked until his head looked up at the members of the Dormitory who were now standing right in front of him. A grim and gripping aura billowed out from each of their bodies, as if ready to swallow Ethan alive.
With great difficulty the man swallowed his dried seliva, Cold sweat involuntarily flowing from his temple. All those sharp gazes were fixed for him as if it could pierce through both of his eyes.
Justin as the owner of the Dormitory turned the chair he was sitting on facing Ethan, he scuttered while twirling the knife in his hand as if the knife was a toy. The orange sliced netra stared intently at Ethan's net without exception.
In a corner of the room Devian seemed to casually lean his back against the wall, staring flatly at their captives. On the other side of the sofa was Felix who was fiddling with his laptop seriously, I don't know what the brown-spirited young man was looking for.
Then on the other sofa Ian as usual was reading his novel book indifferently without regard to Ethan's condition, and beside Ian was Raizel who was carving a small wood with a knife in his hand, Occasionally, the sound of a knife squealing with the wood from Raizel.
Rion, who was in the corner of the room with Devian, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. Whether you feel sleepy or not. And Ezra as usual stood quietly behind Justin expressionlessly, While Aiden sat quietly on his couch.
Just a moment later, the sound of Felix's laptop filling the room, no one intended to open the sound at all, not even Ethan.
NAH!
Justin put the knife in his hand making the sound break their silence, Sontak Ethan looked up at each member of the Dormitory.
"So...I gave him two options..," At once all pairs of eyes stared intently at Ethan after Justin's voice echoed through the room.
"Tell me who told you to destroy me or.." Justin took the knife back and thrust the tip of the knife right into Ethan's face. "You want to talk to my collection?"
Cold sweat still running from Ethan's temple, Himself silent as his net caught a cruel grin imprinted on Justin's lips. 5 Cm more if his head lowered then the tip of the knife would pierce his eyes, it could probably be worse than that.
"If I don't want to say how?!" Challenge Ethan to cover up his fear, Staring at Justin's orange net without hesitation.
WWUUSSH!
A moment of silence was again created as a sharp object floated past Ethan's head, almost making the man's head drop out of place. Ethan froze silently, his Netra glanced at his left cheek which was a scratch, Slowly fresh blood flowed from there. Then the netra glanced at a knife stuck right on the wall behind him.
"Ups! Sorry my hands are slippery,"
His gaze turned to look at Raizel who was wiping his hands with a handkerchief as if cleaning the remaining wood carvings attached to his sleeves, It seemed that the brown-mixed black-blonde young man smiled sinisterly.
Justin cleared his throat slowly and looked at Ethan who was still kneeling before him. "So what's your choice, Ethan? You can't dodge anymore,"
His teeth were trembling, his head still bowed deeply. At the time of this condition it was clear that he was cornered and could not avoid. But his loyalty was even higher than his pride though.
"I'd rather die! Than to tell you Justin! It's no use if you know who's behind the mess!"
Hearing the snaps from Ethan made Ian shift his focus, his red Netra glanced flatly for a moment then closed her novel while sighing in anguish.
"It seems free,"
"Dead huh?" Devian smiled as he looked at Ethan. "Your big head is also a stubborn sir,"
"You won't dare force me! If He finds out about this, you'll lose!" Ethan said again, Now with overflowing emotions.
"Sok knows! You should have read it first. Look at your current condition, Already caught being stubborn!" Decih Rion was still beside each other with a cynical look.
"Even if you force me to do so, I will never say it!"
"You know, every perpetrator we catch always says the same thing. I'm tired of hearing those words, and you're as bored as they are" Chirped Felix without taking his eyes off the laptop screen.
Ethan again gritted his teeth in annoyance, his Netra staring back at the members of the Dormitory. While Aiden and Ezra chose to keep quiet listening to the conversation without intervening.
Justin climbed up from his chair and stepped closer to Ethan, crouching for a moment while staring at Ethan's neutrals.
"Darlingly, if only you weren't so stubborn. Maybe your punishment will be lighter,"
"Curtain! What do you care, you'll still punish me, too" Decih Ethan sneerily stared.
The orange-covered young man was excited for a moment after hearing Ethan who was still strong with his stance, he turned to Aiden who was still sitting on the sofa.
"Aiden, I'll leave the rest to you. Do plan B and make sure not to die," Justin ordered as he walked away from the room followed by the other members.
"Hm.., uh...,"
The last Devian turned to Aiden and Ethan before leaving the room, waving softly.
"Happy Aiden," Devian's gaze turned to Ethan with a mysterious smile. "And for you good luck, stubborn sir,"
BLAM!
A TAP! A TAP! A TAP!
Ethan, regardless of where Aiden is trying to untie the rope that binds his hands and feet, rebelled from the rope. While Aiden only watched in silence while playing the rose in his hand, he wondered how strong Ethan could escape.
In that silence all Ethan's efforts were in vain, The rope that bound his hands and feet was not one to be released. Of course he was upset and furious, especially for a few minutes there was no movement at all from Aiden other than paying attention to his piercing.
"Good, now I look like a fool!" Maki Ethan in his heart, he stared intently at Aiden who was still in his place.
"What are you waiting for?! Justin ordered you to kill me, right? Do now!"
"Nothing, I'm just waiting for how strong your will is to get away with it. But it seems futile," Aiden sahut flatly climbed from his seat to Ethan, he aligned his body with Ethan's height.
"Clearned?! If this rope has come off since I left here, you're wasting your time!"
"Hm, you're right." Aiden sighed tiredly, He closed his eyes for a moment. Slowly the rose in his hand disappeared into the ash grains making Ethan's netherb growl in shock.
"How can the rose disappear?!"
"Just take a magic,"
"No way!"
"Nothing is impossible in this world" Aiden sighed again, Then he pulled Ethan's hair and made Ethan's head look up to him. The dark purple sliced netra stared inside.
"I'm sorry, maybe it'll hurt a lot. But I have no choice but to force you this way,"
his forehead shriveled at Aiden's apology, his mouth open wanting to reply to the young man's words but the intention was confined as his netra sat down with Aiden's dark purple netra. It was as if his consciousness was forcibly snatched away.
The next incident only heard a roar of grief and pain from the room without anyone knowing what Aiden was doing to Ethan.
***************
[The next day]
A TAP! A TAP! A TAP!
The silence of the office employees who passed by did not stop the steps of a girl who was running to split the sea of people, He is in a hurry to the office hall after getting word from Gracia that there is an important announcement from the CEO.
Arriving at the Hall there were already hundreds of employees gathered, Some of them were whispering curious announcements as to what Justin would tell them. Before long the sound of footsteps calmed down the fanfare slowly until silence surrounded the hall space.
Justin stood facing all of his employees while Ezra remained loyal behind the young man, beside Justin there was Ethan staring blankly as if he had no soul.
As her blue net twitched in confusion, Chloe sharpened her hearing to capture the announcement. The atmosphere turned tense with the atmosphere suddenly heating up.
A moment of quiet deheman from Justin before starting his words, Netra orange was staring at his employees one by one.
"Today I gather you all together to show that the traitor is all around us, and today the traitor has been caught with his men,"
Justin turned to look at Ethan who was pushed forward by one of the employees along with Ethan's men, There was no rebellion from Ethan just a blank stare was given. Then before long a middle-aged man came up with a face full of shame and bruises, He was standing by Ethan's side.
"They are the traitors, and the Master over there is the mastermind behind the mess he's made in this office. He pretended to be a client in order to monitor and provoke other employees to bring me down,"
Justin's gaze turned sharply to look at the employees who began to whisper quietly. "The bottom line is if anyone dares to mess with me or try to bring me down then you will have the same fate as them!"
The whispers slowly filled around Chloe, for a moment she could feel the aura of fear from the surrounding employees after hearing Justin's threat. Even clients from other companies were also made to not wince as Justin's gloomy aura filled the Hall space.
After that no one dared to open their voices again, Feeling that no one interrupted Justin to open their voices again.
"And one more thing, From tomorrow onwards I Justin Garfield downgrade my position to Ezra Miracle as Head Manager and CEO. He'll replace my duties while in the office and I'll just work behind the scenes,"
As everyone in the room stared in disbelief, including Ezra himself, the shouting happened again there. Chloe gaped at Justin's decision without considering Ezra's and other employees' decisions.
"Good God, what did Mr. Justin really think?! Suddenly giving such a big task to Mr Ezra?" Chloe thought to her surprise, Still can't believe she misheard it or not.
Unlike Ezra who froze as shocked as Chloe, so surprised he could not say anything to interrupt or refute the order. Even though the task should not be given to carelessly people without the consent of the parties concerned.
Feeling that no one was protesting with his decision, Justin gave a small smile. "If no one protests, I assume you all agree with my decision and this decision is absolute, From tomorrow onwards Ezra will be your new Head Manager,"
After finishing with his announcement Justin stepped away leaving the Hall area with the fanfare going around there. Ezra obediently followed Justin leaving the hall.
While Chloe slowly edged back away from the crowd, sometimes she was not in the mind of Justin. There is no wind, there is no rain, suddenly making a decision without the consent of the other party.
"What else is Justin planning? Sometimes her mind was unpredictable, "His head shook slowly, and Chloe walked away from the hall to continue her work that had been delayed.
