The officers looked at each other. Even though whatever Elder Harmon said was a theory if the snake had attacked Leon, they truly felt Elder Harmon wanted Leon to die with a snake bite.
All heard Elder Harmon sigh in disappointment, "It is only tortuous for half an hour." He looked at Major General and asked, "Major, is there a viper whose venom could torture a man for days?"
Everyone: "..."
Major General glanced at Leon and looked back at the old man. Even though he didn't understand completely, he was able to grasp that Leon offended the right one who is the wrong one for Leon.
Since Elder Harmon wanted to play along, he shared his knowledge about the snake. "Elder Harmon, I think you would love to know what I am going to share with you."His stern voice was respectful. "There is a snake called Inland Taipan. It is quite a shy and reclusive snake with a placid disposition. And it prefers to escape from trouble."
Who is curious to know?
Much Love,
