Chapter 140 – A Sudden, Unexpected Turn of Events
******Without realizing it, Dalton began to drift forward in a slow, unsteady walk, straight toward the object lying on the very spot Glenn had been shoved away from seconds earlier.At first, no one noticed. Why would they?The gang of thugs was far too busy savoring the moment, mocking Glenn with venom-laced insults, and trading jabs about his impending humiliation.A few had already even started betting on how many lashes the “pathetic nobody” could endure before crumpling like wet paper and losing consciousness. But then…Because the gangsters had shifted back to get a better view of the “punishment,” a large clearing had opened in the center of the hall. Dalton’s slow, trance-like approach became visible to all. Then one by one, the jeers faded, brows furrowed, and the loud conversations stalled.“What’s up with the Supreme Lord?” one thug finally muttered under his breath, his voice too low for anyone to properly hear.Even the brute, who had been busily securing Glenn
Chapter 139 – The Brutal Punishment III
******Normally, Glenn sensed people approaching long before they even breached his personal space… his awareness was sharp enough to feel the change in the air itself. But right now? His mind was so wrapped in disbelief that he hadn’t even noticed the presence approach him.A menacing gangster stood before him, his skin a mural of ugly tattoos that looked like they had been drawn by someone who hated both art and people.In his hand was a thick, braided rope, the fibers rough. He grinned viciously, licking his lips in a slow, revolting motion, as though Glenn was a rare cut of meat and he had the privilege of preparing it.Before Glenn could even react, another thug… the second sidled up with an eager glint in his eyes. The rope-holder jerked his chin toward Glenn.“Take that backpack off him. I don’t want it messing with the punishment,” he ordered, his voice a gravelly rasp that carried a hunger for cruelty.Beside them, the third thug was holding what could only be described
Chapter 138 – The Brutal Punishment II
******When Dalton finally spoke, it was with the same lazy calm one might use to comment on the weather.“Someone should tie him up.”The words were soft and unhurried, the kind that should have been swallowed by the raucous noise.Yet, as if under an unseen command, every voice in the hall fell silent at once, a silence so abrupt and suffocating following.All eyes turned to him.Dalton, as always, gave them nothing… no smirk, no frown, not even the faintest flicker of satisfaction. Just the same calm, faintly bored expression, as though the cruelty he had just commanded was no more remarkable than reminding them to lock the gate at night.Then, as though he were announcing the beginning of a casual card game, he added:“The punishment should begin.”His voice was still calm, soft, and terrifyingly certain.It was the voice of a man who already knew the outcome and who saw no need for dramatics… because in his mind, the matter was already decided.The moment the gangsters
Chapter 137 – The Brutal Punishment I
******For a long, hanging moment after Dalton’s decree landed, the entire hall world seemed to stop breathing.No one breathed, no one blinked. Not even the slightest shift in stance.Everyone just stood there rooted in place, their eyes locked on Dalton and their expressions slack, as if their minds had been unplugged.This lasted for what felt like an eternity before, finally, as though the sound they just heard had only just registered, Dalton’s words echoed in every skull like a great iron bell:‘Hundred strokes of spiked canes across the back.'The sentence hung in the air, not like a whisper but like a great iron bell ringing inside their skulls… deep, resonant, and inescapable.The words echoed, bounced, and reverberated until they carved themselves into everyone’s minds.Just moments ago, they had all believed that Dalton was about to let Glenn go scot-free, perhaps even with his bizarre streak of fortune intact. But no… Dalton wasn’t.Instead, he had turned the tabl
Chapter 136 – You Shall Receive Hundred Strokes of Spiked Canes Across Your Back
******Right now, the Supreme Lord of the East, whom the thugs had thought should wear a cold expression on his face, stood casually, his eyes locked on Glenn… not with fury, but with something unnervingly close to… amusement.It was the kind of smile a man wore when watching a rare, dangerous animal perform an unexpected trick… equal parts curiosity and mild entertainment.The goons exchanged uncertain glances at this, but then they shrugged.Dalton wasn’t like them, who needed to broadcast his intentions. That smile on his face could hide a thousand cruelties.Slowly, their murmurs and muttering ebbed away and the vast hall grew quiet, the air inside tightening with the weight of unspoken tension.Dalton broke it with a chuckle. It was a rich, smooth sound, but laced with something sharp beneath it. His gaze never wavered from Glenn.“Ever since I became the Dragon Lord,” he said, his voice calm, steady, and maddeningly confident, “no one has dared to spit in my face again.”
Chapter 135 – The Mob’s Disappointment
******One heartbeat, the mob of gangsters was mid-charge. But in the next, they were statues… frozen mid-step, their fists suspended, and mouths still open from their last scream.Their faces twisted… not in confusion, but in the unmistakable mask of dread.Because they had just remembered… Dalton, their Supreme Lord.In their blind fury just a moment ago, they had charged ahead at Glenn without his permission… allowing rage to trample over reason.The realization hit them like ice water, causing their hearts to stutter in their chests.Although technically, they were fighting on behalf of Dalton, that wasn’t how things worked in the underworld. You must not act outside your leader’s order. The consequence is death.Slowly and fearfully, the gangsters’ gazes, almost in unison, slid toward Dalton.But then… Dalton was smiling.It wasn’t the warm smile of a furious person, no.This was the smirk of a man who had just found something so comical and funny.He showed no anger a
