At the sound of Black Mastiff's name, Gao Ming's ears immediately perked up. He hid the Security Camera beneath his collar and quietly moved closer.
"My little brother is barely hanging on! He goes mad every night! If you cut his dose any further, he'll dig out his own blackened heart!"
"What does that have to do with me? You and your brother chose this path. If you weren't still of some use, I would've sent you both straight to the slaughterhouse once the boss was done playing with you." Black Mastiff's voice dripped with malice. "You really think you're somebody? Let go!"
"Give me the medicine, or I'll tell your boss about us!" The woman's voice grew increasingly hysterical.
"Go ahead! You think that won't get you killed even faster?" Black Mastiff seized the woman by the throat and pinned her against the wall. His bath towel fell away. His eyes were bloodshot, and a voice deep inside him seemed to grow louder and louder. Fine black threads crawled across his eyeballs. "We all need the medicine, but they only make so much every month. How is there supposed to be enough for everyone? I hate greedy bitches like you most of all! You deserve to die. You really do!"
The woman's voice grew weaker until she stopped breathing altogether. Black Mastiff flexed his hands, dragged the corpse into the inner room, and took out his phone to make a call as the black threads in his eyes slowly receded.
"I need two cleaners. Money isn't an issue. Make it quick!"
After receiving an answer, Black Mastiff hung up, his anger still unspent. "I should've killed her back then. Threatening me?"
He grabbed something to smash, then suddenly noticed that the door was still open. His expression darkened further.
