Upon hearing Neo's words, he stepped forward and raised his hand.
SLAP!
He slapped the boy's face.
The others nearly fainted when they saw that.
"Boss?" Neo's eyes turned wide as he felt like smacking this icy cold boss of his. Didn't he know some common sense that they shouldn't hit children?
They thought that Kevin would try to console the boy, but he just immediately slapped the boy's face just like that. Did he think James was the same as him? Kevin think better after being hit by Patrick, but would it apply to James?
However, James did stop crying. His eyes were red and they widened as he looked at Kevin in disbelief.
In this world, these two were the only people he allowed to get close with him aside from his family members. He couldn't believe that Kevin had just slapped him.
"W-w-why?"
"Do you think that crying can solve the problem?"
"B-but!"
