Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 20

“Come on, whoever cowers today is a coward.” Zhou Lie raised a hatchet and rushed over; he had already prepared to fight to everyone’s death. Liu Minglan and Zhou Ying also gripped the weapons in their hands and looked fiercely at the fifty over people. They were full of fear and were trembling.

However, right at that moment—

Thud!

Ma Sanyuan groaned suddenly, kneeled on both knees, and was extremely miserable and sincere. He kowtowed as a form of compensation, saying, “Mr. Zhou, I was wrong. I, Ma Sanyuan, am worthless. I shouldn’t have snatched your land deed or injured your leg. I’m an assh*le. I’m a nobody. Please forgive me!”

Thud! Thud!

The underlings—more than fifty of them—behind him all knelt on the floor; there was the sound of howling as they begged for forgiveness.

“We were wrong. Please be gracious and have mercy on us. Please forgive us…”

Zhou Lie waved the hatchet in his hand and momentarily fell to the floor with a clang. The expression on his face went from anger to surprise, followed by serious shock and disbelief.

Zhou Ying and Liu Minglan’s eyes widened and their jaws dropped. They looked dumbstruck like a block of wood, scared silly by the scene before them.

W-What exactly happened?!

Everyone in the family was dumbfounded by the drama unfolding before them. Ma Sanyuan was such a bully, and yet he personally kowtowed and apologized, admitting his faults in front of them? Did the sun rise from the west this time?

Zhou Lie frowned. Still remaining alert, he said, “Ma Sanyuan, what are you doing? Don’t fake it with me.”

“Mr. Zhou, I sincerely apologize to you. Really. I, Ma Sanyuan, have turned over a new leaf and have repented from my old ways. I used to be an as*hole, no better than an animal.” Ma Sanyuan knelt on the ground and his tone was especially sincere. “This is your land deed. The one thousand acres of commercial area, together with the seventeen shops, I return them all to you, the rightful owner. Also, here is ten million in cash; consider it a peace offering. Please accept it."

One of his underlings produced folders of documents with bright red stamps, on top of three big boxes worth of cash, and moved it all into the courtyard of the Zhou home. Zhou Lie and his family felt like they were dreaming.
