Trust No One

June stood in the middle of the hallway, frozen. It felt like a cold bucket of water had been poured all over his body.

Lin Zhi and Tony stood at the end of the hallway, the pale light illuminating their indulgent smiles. Tony patted Lin Zhi on the back while Lin Zhi bowed his head in respect.

The two of them looked like good old buddies from where June was standing.

And they probably were.

This wasn't the first betrayal he had encountered in his life, but damn, did this one hit him like a bull.

June admitted that he had been hasty amidst all of this. He wasn't perfect. And he was hurried.

So, when he saw an opening…for Lin Zhi to finally get kicked out of the competition, June trusted Tony. He thought this world wouldn't be too harsh like the world he lived in.

But it was definitely harsh. The world was plain harsh.

Lin Zhi took one last glance at June, a smirk still playing on his lips, and June felt…defeated.
