Chapter 915: Opposing Worlds (10)
"Xiao Tian……"
Tian Jie was once again suddenly awakened by the voice of an illusory woman calling him. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead and his heart beat a little rapidly.
But when he opened his eyes, he found that there was no one around him, only silence and darkness.
He slowly sat up in bed, rubbed his eyes, and tried to wake himself up from his dream.
The woman's voice echoed in his mind. He felt that the voice was very familiar, but he could not remember who she was.
In the dream just now, he had experienced many things. Although he felt very tired, he also felt extremely happy. That feeling of happiness was so real that he even hoped that he could stay in that dream forever.
However, every time the woman called him, he would wake up from his dream, and he would forget everything in the dream in an instant, leaving only the feeling of happiness and joy in his heart.
Who is she?
Tian Jie could not find any clues about her in his memory. He couldn't help but wonder if his brain had been tampered with by the people on the island and he had forgotten something important.
Tian Jie stood up, walked to the window, and gently opened the curtains of the room.
The morning light was like a sharp blade, suddenly splitting the darkness in the bedroom, and the view instantly became clear.
Downstairs was a gray empire crawling at his feet, with towering glass curtain walls shining in the sun, several dedicated runways spanning tropical vegetation, and several private jets parked there quietly, as if waiting for their owner's orders.
His gaze passed over the business empire he had built, and cast towards the edge of the distant island. There was an endless ocean, with turbulent waves, and the waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, making bursts of roars.
The morning mist covered the boundless sea like a veil. The gray-blue waves rose and fell slowly, intertwining with the distant skyline, blurring into a hazy scene.
He knew that beneath the seemingly calm surface of the sea lay turbulent undercurrents and powerful forces. Just like the various transactions taking place on this isolated island, while seemingly calm, undercurrents surged. This was a place woven with sin and evil.
Tian Jie stood in front of the window, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the sea outside the window.
Every time he looked down from here, that endless sense of familiarity would come flooding back like a tide, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, his mind was always blank.
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts. Then, a respectful voice rang out, "Mr. Tian, are you awake? We've prepared breakfast for you. Do you want it brought in?"
Tian Jie slowly withdrew his gaze and leisurely changed into a well-tailored casual suit. Then he walked to the center of the living room and said to the person outside the door, "Come in."
With a light "tick" sound from the electronic lock, the door slowly opened and a man in waiter's clothes walked in pushing an exquisite food cart.
The sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Tian Jie, outlining a cold outline around him.
He fiddled with the platinum cufflinks slowly and leisurely, and every subtle movement seemed so elegant.
The waiter had already walked to the table. He lowered his head and glanced at Tian Jie seemingly casually, but in fact, his eyes were locked on Tian Jie's every move like a poisonous snake.
Suddenly, the waiter attacked without warning, and a cold light suddenly burst out at this moment. He held the sharp dinner knife in his hand and stabbed it straight into Tian Jie's carotid artery.
Tian Jie's reaction speed was astonishingly fast, as if he had anticipated this sudden attack. His right hand adjusted his cufflinks without even a pause, as if everything was under his control.
His left hand quickly stretched out and accurately grabbed the waiter's wrist holding the knife. Then he exerted force suddenly and bent the waiter's wrist back fiercely.
There was a crisp "crack" sound. In this unusually quiet room, the sound of broken bones seemed particularly harsh.
The waiter didn't even have time to let out a scream before Tian Jie used the force of twisting his body to throw him hard against the hard corner of the table.
There was only a dull "bang" sound, and the waiter's body hit the corner of the table heavily like a sandbag, and then slid softly to the ground, without a trace of life.
Tian Jie lowered his eyes expressionlessly, his gaze swept across his cuffs, confirming that the platinum cufflinks were not messy at all and not stained with blood. Only then did his tightly pursed lips relax slightly.
Fortunately, it wasn't dirty, otherwise she wouldn't like it if she saw it.
Wait…her?
Who is she?
However, no one could answer the questions deep in his heart.
He could only stare silently at the few drops of bright red blood beads that had just splashed out and were slowly sliding down the cold metal surface of the dinner lid.
The aroma of breakfast should have been mouth-watering, but at this moment it was overshadowed by the rusty smell of fresh blood, and the two intertwined and permeated the air.
