Chapter 1090:
The sharp jolt of pain snapped her out of her drug-induced haze. Her seductive demeanor vanished, replaced by a furious scream. “Kill him! Get in here and kill him!”
At her command, a burly man burst through the door. He found Jayden, his foot firmly on her stomach. “You fancy playing the temptress, huh? It’s time to cut that short,” Jayden declared.
Enraged, the burly man roared, “How dare you lay a hand on her! You’re a dead man!” He brandished a knife and lunged at Jayden.
With effortless agility, Jayden dodged and tripped him, sending him sprawling onto the floor, crashing into the receptionist. The collision rendered her unconscious.
The burly man struggled to stand, his eyes darting to the knife scattered across the floor. He made a desperate grab for it, but Jayden was quicker, pinning his hand beneath his shoe.
Defeated, the man watched helplessly as Jayden kicked the knife away, sliding it far out of reach. “I really can’t understand you. You have the potential to run a legitimate business, yet you choose this vile, merciless path. Didn’t anyone ever teach you decency?” Jayden asked, his tone steady and calm.
The man’s eyes blazed with fury. “Who do you think you are? I’ll kill you and make meat pies out of you.”
“Ah, so you deal in human flesh,” Jayden retorted with disdain. “I cannot let you continue. You’re a disgrace. Countless innocents might have fallen by your hands. This is their vengeance.”
The man, still failing to grasp the gravity of his situation, believed Jayden was just another hapless victim who had stumbled upon his horrific secret. Previously, those who had discovered his secret were swiftly eliminated, their bodies dismembered and stored in the hotel’s freezer.
Convinced of his invincibility, he expected Jayden to suffer the same grim fate, reduced to merely another segment of flesh chilling in his macabre stockpile.
The burly man yanked his hand back and sprang to his feet, charging toward Jayden with a glare that could freeze blood. Jayden smoothly sidestepped, dodging the brute’s clumsy attack.
Fury twisted the man’s face as he missed his target. “You won’t leave here alive! I’ll tear you apart!”
Jayden’s lips curved into a cold, unsettling grin. “I don’t mind dealing with filth like you. It’s freeing to know I don’t have to care about the consequences. In a way, I’m justice itself.”
Without hesitation, he grabbed a dagger from the ground and lunged, every movement precise and deadly.
The burly man, however, was far from skilled. His hulking body shook with each step, more beast than fighter. His bulk jiggled with every motion, a lumbering mass better suited for intimidation than combat.
