A business tycoon who frequently appeared in public welfare activities, a master strategist in the stock market, a professor who educated students at S University, and a doctor who performed surgery to heal the sick.
Every year, the birthday banquet of the second young master of the Xing family was a carnival for this group of people.
They could finally shed their sanctimonious facade and reveal their true colors.
In previous years, after selecting their prey for the game, they would gather together. The six would compete fairly, with no distinction in order of priority; whoever was the first to grab the prey would be the ultimate winner of the game.
The person who captured the prey had the right to enjoy it for one night and could do whatever outrageous things they wanted with it.
The Club’s hunting game began when Xing Yu turned twenty.
This year was different from previous years.
In previous years, the prey were mostly young boys and girls who were in debt to loan sharks and had nowhere else to turn. In order to get money quickly, they chose to take the risk and voluntarily signed contracts to participate in the game.
This year’s prey was an ordinary person.
He wore the exclusive insignia of the banquet host, a pure white swan mask.
This was a warning from the host to everyone present; this person was his exclusive prey.
They were all close friends with deep affection, and the other five quickly understood Xing Yu’s meaning.
The second young master wanted them to work together to cast an invisible net around the manor, then tighten it step by step until the prey had nowhere to escape and ultimately fell into his trap.
“Xing, is this the Dr. Lu you were talking about?”
A brown-haired man wearing a butterfly mask got up from the sofa, carrying a champagne glass filled with pale gold liquid, and walked towards the two people who had just entered.
Xing Yu picked up two glasses of wine from the coffee table, handed one to Lu Dangui, and smiled at the brown-haired man, saying, “Yes, my honored guest.”
“This is Mr. Sean, the Vice President of Golan Group for the Asia Pacific region,” he introduced to Lu Dangui. “He is the one who donated the first batch of public welfare equipment to the foundation.”
Lu Dangui didn’t have much experience in such social situations. Upon hearing Xing Yu’s words, he quickly raised his glass and politely clinked glasses with Sean: “Mr. Sean, thank you for your concern regarding my sister.”
Sean laughed heartily: “Mr. Lu, you’re too kind. Xing is so concerned about this matter, so of course we at Golan will do our best to support him.”
After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Sean turned and left, while the other guests came over to raise their glasses and chat with Lu Dangui.
As Xing Yu watched Lu Dangui’s wine glass slowly empty, a cryptic smile appeared in his eyes.
After a round of drinks, Lu Dangui was already slightly tipsy.
During his previous conversation with Sean, they had already finalized some details regarding the donation. Everything that needed to be discussed had been covered, so he guessed he won’t need to give a speech.
Thinking of this, Lu Dangui said to Xing Yu beside him, “Mr. Yu, I have to go to work tomorrow morning. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now.”
Xing Yu glanced at his watch and nodded knowingly. “It is indeed getting late. How about this, Dr. Lu, take a short rest, and I will have the driver take you to the entrance of the resort to drop you off down the mountain.”
Lu Dangui nodded and couldn’t help but yawn.
As he sat down on the leather sofa, he felt drowsiness creeping in, and his eyelids began to droop.
Click.
Click.
Click—
The record player in the corner went awry, emitting a piercing sound. The music was no longer continuous; and the tonearm moved erratically, as if playing a final countdown.
The social activities inside continued, with people moving about in the dim light, and the swaying wine glasses gradually becoming blurry in Lu Dangui’s vision.
Lu Dangui forced himself to open his eyes and tried to stand up from the sofa, but suddenly felt something strange about his body.
His heartbeat suddenly became erratic, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back and palms.
As his eyelids began to droop heavily, Lu Dangui vaguely felt a pair of icy hands gently resting on his shoulders.
[Click.]
The next moment, something tightly gripped his neck, and Lu Dangui’s eyelashes trembled as he felt a little breathless.
The pain of suffocation was fleeting. He raised his hand, trying to loosen the restraints on his collar, and his fingertips touched a cold metal object.
Then a casual male voice came from behind: “Second Young Master, the locator is installed.”
…Locator?
Clutching the metal collar around his neck, Lu Dangui’s eyes widened.
“Wait a little longer.”
Xing Yu’s voice was somewhat ethereal, as if it came from a distant place: “The effects of the medicine don’t seem to have started yet.”
Hearing what these people said, Lu Dangui was instantly wide awake.
He struggled to get up from the sofa, but found his feet to be unusually heavy as if he had no strength at all.
He had little strength in his hands, and it took him several attempts to finally pull his phone out of his pocket.
There was no cell phone signal at all; the signal in the resort had been deliberately blocked.
Xing Yu tapped his wine glass with a silver spoon, the music stopped, and the lights in the entire club dimmed. The guests, who had been scattered in the four corners, put down their glasses and gathered in front of the sofa where Lu Dangui was sitting.
Lu Dangui felt dizzy and his body was getting increasingly hot. He curled up and crawled deeper into the sofa, only to find that he was surrounded by people, completely cutting off his escape route.
A bloodthirsty black swan, a hollowed-out skull, a butterfly with half a wing missing.
The shadows in front of them grew larger and larger, shrouding their prey in a huge gloom.
Lu Dangui’s voice was hoarse: “You…”
The people standing in front of him were no longer human.
They were a bunch of beasts, a bunch of inhuman monsters.
“Time’s up.”
Xing Yu’s soft voice drifted from afar.
The monsters parted to make way, and in the midst of the chaos, Lu Dangui saw a blinding light.
He squinted and noticed that the club’s doors had been opened sometime during the night. Outside was a brightly lit corridor, a stark contrast to the dimness inside.
“From now on, the prey has half an hour to escape.” Xing Yu walked up to Lu Dangui. “Now, everyone has a tracker that can locate the prey’s position in real time. Each person has three chances to capture the prey. After half an hour, the person who catches the prey at the end wins.”
That’s what they said, but everyone present knew the Second Young Master’s true intentions.
They weren’t really trying to find a winner; all they needed to do was drive their weak prey to the brink of despair, making him crawl to the Second Young Master and beg for mercy at his feet.
“Game begins—”
Xing Yu leaned down, pinched Lu Dangui’s chin with his hand, and gently stroked the pure white feathers on the mask with his fingers.
A dark and twisted desire rose within him, and his eyes burned with an excited crimson:
“Dr. Lu, let’s start running.”
