The soldier laughed and said, "Young Master George, how can you be so quick to beg for mercy? You've only received a few slaps and the show has just begun but you're already begging for mercy so soon. What can you do later, then?"
As soon as Finley heard these words, he knew that the other party definitely would not make things easy for him and was probably even prepared to make him suffer to death. So, he subconsciously cried and begged, "Brother... There's no grievance between us so why do you want to attack me?”
When Homer saw Finley crying and begging desperately, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind and he immediately looked up at the monitor above his head as he shouted, "Lord Waldron! Lord Waldron, are you there? Kidnapping Miss Golding was all Finley George's idea! He was the one who had planned all the details and he's the mastermind! Lord Waldron, please help me pass a message to Mr. Wade and help me plead with Mr. Wade to give me a lenient treatment..."
Finley was completely dumbfounded when he heard that. How could he possibly have imagined that Homer would be putting the blame on him as soon as he spoke up?!
Moreover, according to the meaning behind Homer's words, it seemed as though the mastermind behind this incident had brought him here because of Quinn. If that was the case, it should not be the same group of people who had killed his brother, right?
As he thought of this, he blurted out without hesitation, "Homer Fox, don't you f* eking put the blame on others! This matter was entirely your own idea! It's you who wanted to get Miss Golding, so what has it got to do with me?!"
Homer cursed angrily, "You usually flatter me and try to get into my good books but now that something has happened, you’re saying that you had nothing to do with it. As for Miss Golding’s kidnapping, you were the one who had come up with the plan, and also the one who had found the ninjas from Japan. You were even the one who had arranged for the ship that would blow up the ninjas in the end. Moreover, that ship is still at the dock now. Mr. Wade is so wise and talented, so he could simply send a few of his elite soldiers from Ten
Thousand Armies over there to investigate the matter clearly. Do you really think that you'd be able to absolve yourself of all responsibilities just by saying a few
words?" When Finley heard this, he knew tl would be difficult for him to clear his name. So, he looked at Homer and said angrily, "F*ck! All that you can think of when you see me is to shift all the blame and responsibility onto me. Don't you f* eking understand? We're both in the same boat now!"
Homer also saw Finley's face clearly at this time and he said coldly, "When you tried to shift the responsibility onto me, you said that everything was my own idea. When you can’t seem to clear your name, you're now saying that we are on the same boat. You're really insidious and cunning, Finley George! You're f eking dragging me down with you just like that!"
Finley was trembling with anger at this time as he said through clenched teeth, " You're saying that I’m dragging you down? Back then, how could I have gotten into your good graces if you hadn’t been doing bad things all the time?! It’s obvious that you were the one who had led me astray and you're still biting me in the back now!"
