James Smith kept shaking his head, denying the fact that he was running away. When he saw that Ned had once again held the stick in front of him, James Smith, who had no temper, immediately knelt down.
That's right, he knelt down!
For a domineering second generation like James Smith, this was an incredible matter. However, it wouldn't cause anyone to be surprised.
Ever since he was a child, he had lived under John Smith’s protection. Although James Smith had caused a lot of trouble, he had been able to solve it. Furthermore, almost all of the troubles would not have any side effects. This allowed James Smith to form a mentality that he would not be in any danger as long as John Smith was around.
This kind of power on the surface was actually an illusion, and it was easy to break it.
For example, when James Smith met a person like Ned who had already made up his mind to kill him, James Smith's strength had already crumbled.
Furthermore, he was now genuinely feeling fear.
Without the protection of his father, James Smith felt real danger. Therefore, in this case, the dignity of the domineering second generation was not worth mentioning.
"Ned, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I can compensate you. You can do anything you want. I beg you, please let me go." The kneeling James Smith began to kowtow and apologize to Ned.
But who was Ned?
He was a person who killed people without blinking an eye when he was abroad.
Moreover, the purpose of his trip to Swallow City this time was to kill James Smith and let others see what would happen if they dared to provoke him.
Therefore, no matter what James Smith did, it was impossible for Ned to forgive him.
"Now you know to beg for mercy. You were quite arrogant before, weren't you? I remember that you said that if I came to Swallow City and you wanted to play me to death, now I am already here. I want to see how you want to play me to death." After saying this, Ned waved his stick again and hit James Smith's shoulder heavily.
James Smith let out a heart-wrenching scream. For someone like him who had barely suffered physical pain, such pain was not something he could bear.
"Ned, Ned, I admit that I was wrong. I won't do it again. As long as you let me go, I'll promise you anything." James Smith, whose face was covered in tears and snot, was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. He was now a coward.
Ned squatted down, grabbed James Smith's hair, and said with a grimace, "I know your father has some influence in Swallow City, but you forget who I am. If I said I would kill you, I would definitely kill you. What I said is not bullshit."
James Smith's entire body trembled. Ned's gaze made him feel a strong chill. He knew that Ned was definitely not joking with him!
However, such a good time had just begun for James Smith. The Smith Group still had countless money waiting for him to spend. If he died just like that, James Smith would definitely be unwilling to give up.
At this time, James Smith thought of Samuel. "Didn't this guy want to protect me? At the critical moment, where is he?
Why is he gone?"
Damn Samuel. If he hadn't listened to him, he wouldn’t have run into such danger.
James Smith had completely forgotten how he sneaked away in front of Samuel. He blamed Samuel in his heart. He blamed Samuel for his incompetence. He blamed Samuel for not being able to protect him. That was why James Smith had been in such a dangerous situation.
Furthermore, if Samuel hadn't said that he could leave home, James Smith definitely wouldn't have done so.
This was probably the mentality that many fake strong men would have. If there was nothing wrong, they would be very arrogant. But if there was something wrong, they would only shirk their responsibility.
If he had not left quietly, he would not have been in such a precarious situation.
At this time, Ned stretched out his right hand and a subordinate handed him a butterfly knife.
Seeing this scene, James Smith was so scared that he almost wet his pants.
