Chapter 71 Dianaâs pov After getting off the car, I didnât directly enter the entrance of the nightclub, but instead chose to detour to the alley on the back street.
With my current identity, I was no different from a homeless person, I definitely did not have the qualification to enter the nightclub.
But the alley was different. Sometimes nightclub staff went there to deal with garbage. I could beg them to take me to see the nightclub manager.
I hid behind a trash can, with my body pressed against the wall. I tried to appear as if I had been on the run for a long time, in a state of fear of being discovered.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, I heard a scream that echoed through the entire alley.
I saw a thin man fly out of the back door of the nightclub in a supine position.
He fell heavily to the ground. I even heard the sound of bones breaking.
Immediately after, several strong tattooed men rushed out from inside, punching and kicking the men.
They didnât stop until the manâs screams gradually faded and disappeared.
âMr. Knight, heâs dead.â
I heard one of the tattooed men say to the back door respectfully.
Da da da!
The sound of footsteps echoed.
A tall and thin man walked out of the door.
He was wearing a black suit, with shiny hair and smiling eyes, like two crescents bending downwards. His spine curved, as if he couldnât straighten it.
Despite being the one with the highest status present, his every move carried a hint of flattery.
He was exactly the nightclub manager who bowed to light Lewisâs cigarette in the photo!
I couldnât help but sigh. I didnât expect me to be so lucky.
âWhatever.â Knight waved his hand impatiently, âChop up his body and throw it away.â
âYes!â
The strong men dragged the manâs body and disappeared into the night. Knight snorted coldly and turned to go back.
I seized the opportunity and pretended to accidentally hit the trash can.
Knight turned around and his slender eyes narrowed into two gaps.
âWhoâs there?â He asked.
I didnât move.
So Knight asked again.
âIf you donât come out, Iâll have someone peel off your skin.â
This time, under his warning, I slowly crawled out.
âDonât... donât kill me...â I pleaded softly.
Knight casually glanced at me and sneered, âA stinky beggar. Who cares.â
He obviously didnât take me seriously and stopped staying.
âMr. Knight! Please wait a moment!â I shouted and rushed up to him, kneeling on the steps below him and grabbing his ankle.
His facial features suddenly wrinkled together. He kicked me down, âDonât touch me with your dirty hands!â
I fell on my back, my messy hair falling to the ground, revealing my entire face. Knight originally wanted to kick me again, but when he saw my face clearly, he paused.
âYou...â
I didnât give him a chance to speak. I knelt down on the ground again, crying, âMr. Knight, I just saw it. Those guys listened to you! You must be the boss of this nightclub! I beg you to take me in. I can do laundry. I can cook... I can do anything! Please, take me in. I just want something to eat...â
âLift your head up.â
A cold voice sounded.
I slowly lifted my head and saw amazement in Knightâs eyes.
âYour look is not bad.â Knight commented. Then he asked, âWhatâs your name? Where are you from?â
I lowered my head again and whispered, âMy... my name is Alex. I... I escaped from my masterâs house.â
âEscape?â
âYes, yes. My master is a wealthy businessman. He liked me... His wife discovered and hated me because of this. She scolded me frequently, and even... refused to give me food. I couldnât bear it anymore, so... I escaped.â
I started crying again.
âI have been on the run for a long time. I donât want to starve to death. Please, take me in.â
âAre you sure you want to follow me?â Knight asked, âLife here is not easier than your masterâs.â
âWill you give me food?â I asked with hopeful eyes.
Knight laughed and said, âOf course you have enough food to eat. But the premise is that you have to be obedient.â
âI am obedient. I will definitely be obedient!â
âCome with me,â Knight walked towards the nightclub.
1 immediately followed him.
After passing through a long corridor, Knight stopped in front of an elevator.
The elevator had fortyâthree floors in total, and three of them were underground. Knight took me to the underground second floor.
âNo matter what you see later, donât shout. Remember?â Knight warned.
I pretended to nod in fear.
As the elevator door opened, a strange smell seeped into my nose.
That was the smell of cigarettes, beer, and... blood mixed together!
As I passed by a glass door, I suddenly heard a mournful scream.
This kind of glass door usually had special soundproofing equipment. But despite this, the scream could still be heard clearly.
I turned my head and glanced at the glass door.
I couldnât see anything.
This was a oneâway glass.
âCurious?â Knight asked as I stopped.
I shook my head quickly, afraid to look into his eyes.
âBeing curious is normal. If youâre not interested in anything, then Iâll suspect you.â Knight smiled and entered the password to the door. âSince you want to know whatâs inside, Iâll take you to have a look. Youâll know it sooner or later.â
With a sound, the glass door was opened automatically.
In an instant, a strong smell of blood rushed in.
I immediately covered my mouth and nose, and started retching.
Knight sneered.
âIs this too much?â He took out a handkerchief, grabbed my wrist through the handkerchief, and pulled me inside.
Then, I saw an extremely cruel scene.
This was a shooting range covering an area of about 100 square meters.
However, the shooting targets were not ordinary targets, but live people.
At this moment, a flying arrow flashed past me and accurately inserted into a manâs right arm.
Another scream of agony was heard.
Knight touched his chin and said, âDo you remember that guy at the door just now? He was a âtargetâ here. A customer wanted him, but he tried to run away. The customer was very unhappy. At first, he had a chance to live. But since he ran, he had to die.â
I felt nauseous when I heard it. But my face looked as if I had been scared and my legs had softened.
Knight smiled at me and said, âDonât worry. Donât be so afraid. Jobs like âtargetsâ are usually for people who make mistakes. As for you, I have other arrangements. Letâs go.â
After Knight finished speaking, he casually threw away the handkerchief and walked towards the door.
I stumbled and followed, and soon he stopped in front of another glass door.
âThis is your job.â He said, pushing open the glass door.
Dozens of seductive and revealing women appeared in my sight.
âBecoming a prostitute.â Knight extended his arms to me, âI promise. You can get not only enough food, but also money youâve never seen in your life!â
