Alex stood in front of the door, waiting for any response, but there was only silence. Alex felt a strange sensation and was about to leave when suddenly there was a sound from the door lock. The door slowly opened, and Alex's heart struggled with a mix of anticipation and caution. He stood quietly, like a statue, staring intently at the door, expecting any small change. The surrounding silence seemed to compress, every second stretching time and intensifying his unease. Just as he was about to turn away, doubting if this was all in vain, a nearly imperceptible sound from the door lock shattered the silence, causing his heart to contract instantly. The sliver of light coming through the door crack seemed like a symbol of hope and the unknown, but it also made Alex's heart race, unsure of what secrets lay behind the door.
Just as he was about to speak, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The door was pushed open by a powerful force, and a burly man appeared in front of him, swiftly pressing him against the cold wall. Alex's reaction was too slow, and he could only feel the oppressive atmosphere and tension emanating from the man, leaving him feeling trapped with no escape. The man's sharp and vigilant gaze scanned the corridor ends like a scanner, and his deep and pressure-filled voice whispered in Alex's ear, "Is anyone following you?" This question sparked a series of questions and speculations in Alex's mind, and his breathing became rapid as he tried to find a shred of reason in this tense atmosphere.
This is not an ordinary meeting, but a situation filled with unknowns and potential dangers. Alex felt that every heartbeat of his was echoing in the silent corridor, and the big man's gaze pierced through the darkness, searching for the truth and falsehood in his eyes. At this moment, his body tensed to the extreme, realizing that this mysterious commission far exceeded his expectations, involving deep secrets he had never ventured into.
As the big man pressed Alex against the cold wall, the tense atmosphere instantly solidified. Despite being in a disadvantageous position, Alex still maintained his characteristic relaxed attitude, with a playful smile on his lips, jokingly saying, "Hey hey hey! Relax a little, I won't be able to talk like this." His voice carried a hint of world-weariness, seemingly indifferent to the threat before him.
The gaze of the big man swept across Alex's face, as if trying to judge his true intentions. Then his eyes turned around, cautiously checking for any potential threats. Sensing that there was nothing unusual around, the big man's expression seemed to relax slightly, and the force in his hands lightened, allowing Alex to feel a subtle loosening, enough for him to adjust his posture and reduce the sense of oppression.
At this moment, the tense relationship between the two seemed to temporarily ease due to Alex's humor and the big man's caution. Despite still being in a suppressed and unfavorable situation, Alex's confidence, composure, and relaxed attitude seemed to add a touch of humanity to this pressure-filled confrontation. This interaction not only demonstrated Alex's composure in the face of crisis but also hinted that the upcoming conversation might unfold on a deeper level of communication based on this initial foundation of trust.
With the sound coming from the room, the tense atmosphere was instantly relieved. It was the calm and authoritative voice of the security team leader through the intercom, with clear and direct content: "Don't treat our guest like this... Let him in, I believe he can be trusted." The sternness in the voice was unquestionable, showing the decisive influence of the speaker here.
The big man gave Alex a final scrutiny through his suppressed emotions, seemingly re-evaluating the person in front of him under the guidance of this voice. After a while, his expression changed from the original vigilance to a forced acceptance, and then his hand completely withdrew from Alex's body, taking a step back to make way for Alex to enter the depths of the room.
Then, in a stiff and somewhat unskilled manner, the big man made a gesture inviting entry, seemingly expressing an apology for his earlier actions in silence, and also following the instructions of that authoritative voice. Although lacking in usual etiquette, this gesture appeared particularly important after such a tense standoff. It was not only a sign of respect for Alex, but also a submission to the will of the unseen master.
Alex adjusted his trench coat slightly, nodded slightly to express approval of the big man's actions. Then, he stepped into this room full of unknowns, filled with curiosity and anticipation for what was about to happen, while also expressing a hint of gratitude to this unexpected ally.
When Alex entered the room, his attention was immediately drawn to a scene inside. Sitting directly across from the doorway was a man who appeared refined and elegant, a stark contrast to the luxurious surroundings. The man wore a pair of square-framed glasses, and his gaze through the lenses carried a subtle sharpness, while his posture exuded grace, with one leg lazily crossed over the other, displaying ease without losing composure. His impeccably tailored suit showcased his meticulous attention to detail, even in the comfort of his home.
The room's decor was a fusion of modern and classical styles, with expensive artworks and exquisite ornaments scattered throughout, indicating the owner's exceptional taste and wealth. The man in the chair seemed to be the master of all this luxury, with every movement he made exuding an unhurried sense of calm.
On the side, two burly men stood, their figures and facial expressions exuding a threatening presence not to be underestimated. The contours of their muscles subtly strained against their clothing, clearly indicating that they were rigorously trained personal bodyguards. Their vigilant gazes scanned the surroundings, ready to respond to any sudden situation.
Meanwhile, the large man who had just had a minor altercation with Alex had now positioned himself by the side of the refined and gentlemanly man. His demeanor was evidently more cautious than when dealing with Alex, slightly leaning forward as if awaiting instructions. From their interaction, it was clear that this man undeniably held absolute authority between them.
This scene made Alex feel a slight pressure, but he still remained calm and professional, ready to face the upcoming conversation. His gaze met the man's, and there was a slight tension in the air, as if a negotiation about an unknown commission was about to begin.
