The Sway and Slide of Love

"You've been sitting here for so long, so you must be hungry, right?" May Dawson said as she tried to shove the bowl into Hendrix's hands. "Now, hurry up and eat

it."

Hendrix immediately frowned and pulled his arm away, knocking the bowl of instant noodles to the floor. "Don't touch me!"

May froze.

Hearing the commotion, Tony rushed in from outside. "May, are you okay?"

As he spoke, he grabbed May's hand, his concern evident.

May pulled her hand back nervously. "It's nothing. I just accidentally spilled the noodles."

Hearing this, Tony glanced at the floor. When he saw the spilled noodles, his eyes turned red. Then, he glared at Hendrix. "You ungrateful bastard!"noveldrama

Hendrix didn't respond. He simply stared back at Tony expressionlessly.

Tony was clearly the one standing, and his men were all outside, armed with hoes and other tools. Yet, they found themselves completely overpowered by Hendrix's presence alone.

As the two sides stood at a stalemate, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Tony, it's bad! They've called the police!"

Tony's expression immediately changed. He glared at Hendrix and asked, "Did you ask your men to call the police?"

Hendrix frowned slightly. He was just as surprised as Tony at the news. Dan had been working for him for years he wouldn't do something so stupid.

Besides, Hendrix was still being held here. If the police arrived in full force, wouldn't that just speed up his demise? So, it was clear someone else had called the police. But why? Was it to push Tony and his men to desperation and have them kill him?

"You bastard! I knew this wasn't going to be that simple!" Tony lunged forward as he spoke.

But Hendrix seized an opening and kicked him hard in the knee. The force sent Tony crashing to his knees. Before he could react, Hendrix snatched the knife from his hand and pressed it against his throat.

It all happened so quickly. In just a few seconds, Tony was pinned under Hendrix's foot, the cold blade making him tremble.

The others in the room were stunned.

Honestly, Hendrix couldn't be

bothered to deal with these people. His time wasn't meant to be wasted on something like this. Whoever had sent these people to deal with him was clearly just trying to annoy him.

But now that things had escalated,

he had no choice but to get his hands dirty. He looked down at Tony. "Why don't you use that brain of yours? Do you really think my people would be stupid enough to calf the police at a time like this?"

"Then, who else could it be?" Tony glanced at May. When he saw her looking at him with concern, his expression darkened even more. He was clenching his teeth so hard that they nearly shattered.

Hendrix chuckled coldly. "It's obviously the person who told you to bring me here. And the very same person who taught you to use your brother's death to extort money from me.

"I don't know what his real goal is in holding me captive, but one thing is clear- you're nothing more than a pawn to him. Otherwise, why would he call the police now?"

As Hendrix finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly laughed.
