chapter 16 My heart is dark ===

"Pow!" This slap was so powerful that Zebulon's feet were lifted off the ground, and he smashed into a wall seven meters away! Zebulon's face was already bruised by a punch, and with this slap, blood splattered again. But the strange thing was that Humphrey's hand was still as white as ever. Humphrey's face was stern, and filled with murderous intent. He said in a cold voice, "You useless dog! Is my eldest brother's name what you are allowed to repeatedly say?" Zebulon was dizzy. He leaned against the wall, and stood up with difficulty. His eyes widened and he said in anger, "Humphrey Han! You are going too far! What's wrong with me saying Dempsey's name? Let me tell you, not only do I say Dempsey's name, I dare to even say your father, Aldrich’s name! I belonged to the Cooper family, and this is the Ivory Coast Hotel of the Cooper family. Do you dare to kill me?! " Humphrey narrowed his eyes coldly. At this moment, a loud and powerful voice came from the corridor outside the door. "Well said! This is the Ivory Coast Hotel of my Cooper family. Who dares to be presumptuous here? I would like to see who he is!" As soon as his voice fell, an imposing man came to the door of the guest room. The man was tall and slender. He was wearing maroon pants and leather boots. His hair was tied in a ponytail, and he had ear studs on his ears. He had an aura of wealth and evil. Behind this person, there were two strong men who were taller than 1.9 meters. Just looking at their appearance, there was no doubt that these two men, who were strong like iron towers, could tear people alive! Zebulon seemed to have seen his savior. He crawled up to the man with the ear studs and cried, "Mr. York, they killed Nelson Dunn first, the Young Master of the Dunn family, and then injured all of us. Mr. York, you must help us!" This evil-looking man with ear studs was none other than York, the son of the Cooper family, one of the four major families! The current owner of the Ivory Coast Hotel! York glanced at the injured security guards in the room, and then at Zebulon's broken face, and the anger in his eyes suddenly intensified! He patted Zebulon's head, looked at Humphrey coldly and grinned. He said in a solemn tone, "Before one beats a dog, one must see who the master is. Don't worry, no one has ever been able to leave unharmed after being arrogant in front of me." Zebulon became arrogant and felt confident all of a sudden. He sneered, "Humphrey Han, you prodigal dog, now that Mr. York is here, I dare you to show us again how tough you are! Have you see these two people behind Mr. York? They are the record holders of underground boxing matches in Lymelathe City, and they can ever knock over a cow with one punch! With your petite built, you can't even lift a finger! I know you want to beat me up and kill me. You and Dempsey are two idiots. I have watched both of you grow up since you were kids. Would I not know what you are thinking? But do you have the ability? I'm standing right here. If you have the ability, come and kill me!" Zebulon laughed arrogantly. After he finished mocking, he did not forget to turn around and say to York, "Mr. York, do you still remember Humphrey Han? He was Aldrich Haus' adopted son back then. He is in good terms with Dempsey. It is obvious that he's coming to Ivory Coast Hotel this time with ill intent. However, I’m afraid he doesn't know his limitations!” Humphrey had been standing there all this while, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Zebulon had changed from the initial indifference to that now, of someone looking at a dead person. "He came with ill intent? What capability does he have to come before me with ill intent? When the Haus family was glorious, I didn't take him seriously. Now, he is nothing in front of me!" York's eyes showed contempt and suddenly, without any warning, he gave Zebulon a push. Zebulon was shoved directly in front of Humphrey. "Zebulon used to depend on the Haus family for a living, but now he has become my dog. Are you furious? I will give you a chance to kill him in front of me. Do you dare to do it?" Zebulon's expression changed drastically, and he looked at York in horror, "Young Master York, how could you do this to me?" York said coldly, "What are you afraid of? As long as I am here, not to mention my dog, even if it were just a cockroach in my Cooper household, no one may trample on it! I want to see if this adopted son of the Haus family has the guts to kill you in front of me. " After speaking, he looked at Humphrey with a smile, "How? Do you dare to do it? If you dare to kill him in front of me, I will think highly of you. If you don't dare, then kneel before me right now, kowtow and beg for mercy!” Zebulon understood what York meant and was no longer afraid. He stood one meter away from Humphrey and sneered, "Not to mention killing me, if you dare to hit me again in front of Mr. York, I will consider you awesome! " As he spoke, he spread his palm and planned to slap Humphrey's disgustingly handsome face! Ten years ago, Aldrich Haus brought Humphrey home from the street and adopted him as his son. His status in the Haus family was on par with that of Dempsey Haus. Ten years ago, after Humphrey met Zebulon for the first time, he said that the latter had a strong, rebellious spirit and looked down on him. If Aldrich had not been kind-hearted and gentle, Zebulon might have been expelled from the Haus family. The two of them have had a bad relationship with each other since ten years back; each despised the other. However, the two of them, one being a master and the other a servant, was a world apart in status. Therefore, those three years, Humphrey domineered over him. Even though Zebulon retaliated behind his back, it did not hurt him, and did not make any difference. But things were different now. The Haus family had declined. Humphrey was nothing, but he had York backing him up. How could he tolerate being beaten by Humphrey for nothing? Of course, he could not swallow this! It could be said that his long-cherished wish was to bash Humphrey's face, which was prettier than a woman's, till it swelled into the size of a pig's head. Now, he would no longer have any scruples! Swinging his palm, Zebulon smiled fiercely and swiped at Humphrey's face! He expected Humphrey not to dare do anything outrageous again after he had seen York. After all, York was the son of the Cooper family, one of the four major families in Lymelathe City ! Moreover, York was the most notorious among the sons and daughters of the four major families! He was an evil playboy, and nothing more! In this part of the Lymelathe City, no one dared to touch York at all! So, at the moment of swinging his palm, Zebulon had even imagined how wonderful his slap would be! Humphrey's posture upright and he was tall as a mountain. All this while, he did not move the slightest. He was just watching York and Zebulon sing a double act. It was not until Zebulon swung his palm that he finally made a move. His right hand was like a claw, and it suddenly reached out, and the next moment, it pulled out from Zebulon's chest. And in the palm of his right hand held a heart that was still beating! Humphrey was holding a live heart, and the blood vessels in the heart were still connected to the chest. The scene was extremely bloody and revolting! What was even more weird was that Humphrey's hand holding the heart was like a piece of white jade that was so smooth that not a trace of blood would stick, and every drop of blood slipped from the back of his hand. There seemed to be a transparent membrane between the blood and this hand! If any knowing person were to see this scene, he would definitely exclaim in surprise, because this was the body-protection aura that only the extremely powerful would be able to cultivate! Except for Cora, everyone who saw this scene was shocked. They felt as if their heart was being pinched, and their breathing suddenly stopped! Looking down at the heart, Humphrey said in an indifferent voice, "Zebulon, not only were you strongly rebellious, your heart is also black." For a moment, the whole place fell completely silent.
