“Double the rent!” Kim held out a finger to Rosemary, asserting his demand.
“No way! That’s too much of an increase, I won’t accept it,” Rosemary replied coldly.
Her current monthly rent was ten thousand dollars. Doubling it would bring it to twenty thousand. Although this amount wasn’t a significant burden for her, it was a matter of principle. The landlord was clearly trying to take advantage of her.
“No? If that’s the case, we can terminate the contract. I can rent the place to someone else. In today’s market, there are plenty of tenants, but the houses are scarce. You know that. Initially, I turned down three potential tenants and rented the house to you,” Kim’s face darkened as he spoke coldly.
“You… you’re just being unreasonable!” Rosemary’s face paled with anger.
Kim was speaking the truth. His property was indeed highly sought after.
Observing Rosemary’s expression, Kim felt a sense of triumph. Greedily, his eyes swept over Rosemary’s delicate features and alluring figure, almost salivating.
“Of course, if you don’t want the rent increase, that’s fine. Today, you can keep me company. Who knows, if I’m pleased, I might exempt you from paying rent in the future,” Kim finished, taking a deep inhale near Rosemary.
Her sweet and warm scent immediately kindled his desire. He couldn’t wait to rush over and try to embrace her.
“What are you doing!?” Rosemary’s face changed as she pushed him away and rushed behind the sofa. She spoke sternly, “Don’t mess around. My boyfriend is here!”
“Boyfriend? Where did you find a boyfriend?” Kim smirked, “I’ve been observing you for two months, and no man has ever visited you. Don’t lie to me. I know you’re lonely. Let me take care of you today.”
For today, Kim had been preparing for over two months. The reason he had rented the house to Rosemary was for this purpose. Today, no matter what, he intended to conquer Rosemary. Once she became his woman, he wouldn’t fear her disobedience.
“Leo!” Rosemary called out Leo’s name as Kim lunged forward, circling the sofa with Kim in tow.
“Don’t scare me on purpose. Honestly, you don’t want to escape from my palm today. Stop struggling, obey me, and I promise to make you deliriously happy,” Kim leered, reaching for Rosemary’s snow-white wrist.
“I’ll pay you three times the rent to sleep with a pig, would you agree?” Leo walked out of the bathroom with a white towel in his hand, at a leisurely pace.
He had basically overheard the conversation between Kim and Rosemary just now. Initially, he thought the landlord was just trying to take some small advantage, but he hadn’t expected him to be so despicable, attempting to force himself upon Rosemary.
Seeing Leo, Kim was visibly startled. His expression darkened as he spoke coldly, “Who are you?”
“He’s my boyfriend, Leo!” Rosemary hurriedly came over and held Leo’s hand. She still felt shaken; if Leo hadn’t come out in time, she might have been assaulted by this disgusting landlord.
Kim clenched his fists in anger. He hadn’t expected Rosemary to actually have a boyfriend. He was truly unlucky; it was the first time Rosemary had brought her boyfriend home, and he had walked in on them.
“I don’t care about your boyfriend or girlfriend. This is my house, and I’m raising the rent regardless!” Kim gritted his teeth, speaking coldly.
“Let’s not talk about raising the rent. You frightened my friend just now. You should apologize to her first. Although your offense was severe, as long as you kneel down and kowtow three times, saying ‘I’m sorry, forgive me,’ my friend and I will reluctantly forgive you,” Leo said casually, picking up a teacup and taking a sip.
“Stop talking nonsense!” Kim already didn’t like Leo, and upon hearing Leo’s insulting words, he erupted, pointing at Leo and cursing, “You little brat, do you know where you are? With just one hand, I could crush you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Leo suddenly appeared in front of him, shoving the teacup into his mouth with force.
“Crash!” The teacup instantly shattered, most of the glass shards piercing Kim’s mouth, with a few flying onto the floor.
Kim was immediately filled with blood, some of his front teeth knocked out. Tears and mucus streamed down his face as he wailed in agony.
“Your mouth is really foul; let me help you wash it out with some tea,” Leo said with a grin.
“Wait… wait, you wait…” Kim struggled to speak due to theglass shards in his mouth.
“Looks like it’s not clean yet.” Leo sighed, shaking his head. Then he grabbed Kim’s collar and dragged him like a dead dog into the bathroom.
Grabbing his hair, Leo forcefully dunked Kim’s head into the toilet bowl. He then pressed the flush button, allowing the water to rise before pressing it again.
The entire toilet bowl filled with water, submerging Kim’s head completely.
“Gurgle, gurgle…” Kim struggled violently, but Leo’s grip was like a vice, and he couldn’t break free no matter how hard he tried.
“Alright, let’s not make this fatal.” Rosemary spoke with concern.
“It’s okay,” Leo lifted Kim’s head, grinning, “Is your mouth clean now?”
“Y-you… gurgle…” Kim couldn’t finish his sentence before Leo pushed his head back into the toilet bowl.
“Hey, bring me some laundry detergent, and also the toilet cleaner… oh, and there’s some disinfectant here. Bring me all of that. I’ll show him what it means to wish for death.” Leo glanced at the bathroom, grinning as he asked Rosemary to fetch those items.
“This…” Rosemary hesitated. Though she didn’t care about Kim’s well-being, she did care about Leo. She didn’t want him to get into trouble because of this trash.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Leo noticed Rosemary’s concern and winked at her.
Seeing Leo’s expression, Rosemary was momentarily stunned and obediently handed over the items.
“Bro, let me tell you, this treatment is not something just anyone can experience.” Leo poured all the substances into the toilet: the laundry detergent, the toilet cleaner, and the disinfectant.
The pungent odor mixed with the fragrance, filling the entire bathroom instantly.
Rosemary instinctively covered her nose, casting a sympathetic glance at Kim in the toilet. If the room smelled this bad, she couldn’t imagine how much worse it was inside the toilet.
Struggling to hold his breath for over a minute, Kim finally couldn’t take it anymore and involuntarily inhaled, drawing in a mouthful of water mixed with laundry detergent, toilet cleaner, and disinfectant.
As he choked on the concoction, he couldn’t help but cough and splutter, unable to bear the taste and smell.
