"Excuse me, is Mr. Huai Shi here?" a staff member holding a file asked softly.
"What did you say?"
Instantly, seven or eight operatives around the table turned their heads in unison to look at her. Their chilling gazes, especially from one wearing a bizarre helmet who hadn't even shown his face, turned the female clerk's face pale.
Even though she couldn't feel his gaze, the female clerk could still sense that palpable, deep-seated resentment, chilling her to the bone and nearly causing her to lose her footing.
"Please, is Mr. Huai Shi here?" she mustered her courage, asking tremulously, "The higher-ups said a Mr. Huai Shi was scheduled to register today. I've asked everywhere else; this is the only section remaining…"
In a moment, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
"Huai Shi?"
Into the silence, the sound of a fist furiously banging on the table suddenly erupted.
BANG!
Huai Shi straightened up and declared sternly, "We don't have that kind of scum of the earth here!"
