Her eyes lit up, and Josee passed Nigel the only plate of fresh vegetables left in the household. “Have more of this. You need the energy for your work.”
“Alright,” Nigel replied. The ambiance in the house restored its joviality.
In the Southalls.
Henrick and the local construction workers were discussing the renovation of the house
“Here I want to build a backyard with a fountain. I want the architecture of the house to have more European elements. I will pass the pictures to you and you may think about it later. Please let me know the manpower that you will need,” Henrick said.
“Alright alright. However, this will cost millions,” the workers reminded Henrick.
“Don't worry about it, I will ensure that you will be paid for your work,” assured Henry.
With Henrik's assurance, the workers joyfully left.
After sending off the workers, Henrick noticed Matthias who was weak and frail when he passed by the chicken coop.
After the whole torture yesterday, his high spirit had entirely diminished.
This was due to the force of the beating, coupled with the fact that the wound was inflamed. Obviously, the injuries on his body were starting to get infected.
When he saw Henrick, his eyes opened widely.
Henrick gestured the bodyguard and said, “Whip.”
The bodyguard immediately passed him the whip.
Matthias quavered and said, “Henrick, do you really want to kill me?”
Henrick smirked in reply. “I'm a man of my word. Ten whips a day are what you will surely get.”
He whipped Matthias instantly after finishing his sentence.
However, Matthias was not as resilient as he was yesterday. Upon the fifth strike, he slumped into unconsciousness.
