"D-D-Don't kill us! We were just following Dong Zhu's orders!" one of the lackeys immediately said. This was the short one - and probably the most clever one.
"What?! You're the one who suggested this!" Dong Zhu retaliated angrily.
"Oh...how amusing. A bunch of maggots, fighting amongst themselves," I remarked. "Isn't that interesting? The moment things go south, you all turn selfish all of a sudden."
"..."
They didn't talk back, which made sense considering the position they were in. I smirked. "All quiet and obedient now, huh? Man...all this would've been avoided if you didn't try touching my companions, y'know?"
"Y-Yes! I-I'm sorry!" Dong Zhu yelped, his tough demeanor now completely gone.
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
In this chapter, the issue with Dong Zhu and his lackeys is finally resolved. Our MC avoided killing them this time around since that would affect innocents such as the hotel's reputation, but don't worry - had the situation and location been slightly different, he would've killed them without mercy.
After all, they came with the intention to kill him. So, it's only fair that he kills them in return. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
