Haylan had been watching from the side for a long while and finally figured everything out.
Roland was a retired soldier who had risked his life to defend the country and had no complaints about his injuries.
In order to protect Glenn and the others, he was willing to kneel down to beg for mercy, choosing the most humiliating way to save his brotherâinâarmsâs life.
No matter how one looked at it, Roland was undeniably an unyielding and indomitable real man.
On the contrary, Andrew kept pushing his luck and humiliating the veteran soldiers aggressively, pushing them over the edge.
It was obvious that he was a big bully.
To deal with bad people, one had to give them a taste of their own medicine so that they would know how disgusted and cruel they had been.
âWhat did you say?â
Andrew glared at Haylan. âDo you know who I am? Iâm the heir of the Shilton family, one of the major four families under Demigod Sky. And youâre asking me to kneel to a lowly person like him?
âBastard, are youâ¦â
âSmack!â
Before Andrew could finish speaking, Haylan had given him a slap, causing his red and swollen face to be burning with greater pain.
âHow dare you hit meâ¦â
âSmack!â
Another heavy slap landed on Andrewâs face. He fell to the ground and his head was buzzing.
âFirst of all, Iâm not asking for your opinion. Iâm giving you an order. You have no right to refuse.â
Haylanâs expression was calm. He extended his hand and sucked a saber into his hand. Then, he inserted it into the ground inâ
群 front of Andrew and said coldly. âI donât care if youâre under some kind of bullshit Demigod, or what family you come from.
âYouâve done something wrong, so you have to pay the price.
âYouâve lost too much blood now. Youâll die for sure in 30 minutes.
âIâm giving you one last chance. Kneel down, apologize to Mr. Grant, and lick his shoe in the next minute.
âIf not, I assure you that youâll die a horrible death.â
The saber was pushed into the ground and shook, giving off an incomparably terrifying energy and lethal aura.
Andrew was beaten up so severely that he dreaded being hit again.
In the past, if he told others that he was from the Shilton family, many people would pee their pants and not dare to do anything to him.
But now, even if he had said Steve Skyâs name, Haylan and Xander still treated him so cruelly and even threatened to kill- him.
It was something that had never happened before. So, it made him a little flustered.
âAre you going to kneel or not?â
Xander walked over with his saber in hand. Standing in front of Andrew, he said coldly, âIf you donât kneel, I guarantee that you will lose your other hand.â
As his saber fell, a grim killing aura rose up and enveloped Andrew.
At that moment, he felt as if he had been targeted by a demon that had walked out of hell. It sent a chill down his spine and the small hairs across his body stood on end.
âL⦠L⦠Iâll kneel.
He hurriedly sat up, gritted his teeth, and kneel in front of Roland to beg for mercy, âRoland, Iâve realized my mistake. Please be forgiving and let me off.â
As he spoke, his voice was trembling, and his heart was filled with apprehension and despair.
Judging from Haylan and Xanderâs attitude, he knew that if he did not do that, those two madmen would kill him without hesitation.
10.347 That kind of malicious killing intent made his chest grow so tight it became hard to breathe.
âWell, this isâ¦â
Roland and his gang were all stunned.
Never in their wildest dream had they imagined that the arrogant and powerful Andrew would kneel down to Roland in such a demeaning way.
âLouder, have you not eaten anything?â Xander scolded.
When Andrew heard that, his face turned aghast.
He knew Xander was deliberately humiliating him.
As a descendant of the prominent Shilton family, he was entitled to a privileged status, holding enormous wealth and power since he was young. Because of that, he could easily crush many people like crushing ants.
But now, Haylan and Xander forced him to kneel to a lowly man to repent himself. And they even asked him to apologize loudly.
To him, it was a blatant humiliation and it was worse than death.
âLooks like youâre still unreluctant. Xander, break his finger,â Haylan said in a deep voice.
Without saying a word, Xander raised his saber and cut off one of Andrewâs pinkies. Blood gushed out of his wound.
And Andrew screamed in pain.
He became even more ill at ease. Out of desperation, he hurriedly knelt in front of Roland and raised his voice. âMr. Grant, Iâve realized my mistake. Please let me go. I beg you.â
Donât forget, you still have to lick Mr. Grantâs shoe,â reminded Haylan.
After saying that, he gave Roland a look, hinting him to stretch out his leg.
When Andrew saw Rolandâs shoes, his stomach churned and he almost vomited what he had the previous night.
Roland didnât have much money, so he had been wearing a pair of wornâout shors. After traveling for a long journey, his shoes were covered in mud, grass, and some yellowish stuff that looked extremely disgusting.
Moreover, his foot gave off an unbearable pungent smell.
âMr. Jaber, I⦠I donât think this is a good idea. Andrew has learned his lesson. Why donât we just let it go?â Roland frowned. He was a patriotic soldier who loved his country. Even though he would be infuriated and fought back when he was bullied, he did not like to be aggressive and throw his weight around.
Andrew had lost a hand and two fingers. Besides, he had been beaten up by Haylan and Xander until his face was so red and swollen that he was hardly recognizable. For Roland, Andrew had received the punishment he deserved.
He thought that the incident should be put to an end then.
But Haylan had asked Andrew to lick his shoes, which made him feel a little upset.
âMr. Grant, youâre a veteran soldier. You should understand one thing.â
Haylan looked at Roland and intoned, âBeing kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.
âThink about it carefully how Andrew treated you before. You became disabled because of him and he even forced you to kneel in public and lick his shoes.
âHe wanted to humiliate you and make your life a living hell. You can see how devious he is.
âHeâs such an evil spoiled silverâspoon. And you still want to let him go?â
