After Spencer downed his glass, he began seeing double images. The dizziness made him faint, and he felt as though he had just been punched in the gut.
Xavion had no courage to go against his father, so he could only wait for Spencer to finish before proceeding to hurriedly swallow the remaining liquor in his glass.
By then, the time on Charlie's stopwatch hadn't reached a minute yet.
When Charlie saw the father and son duo gasping for breath, their faces flushed red, he grinned. He waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Come, now! Have a second drink. I'd like to trouble Master Fox to refill the wine glasses!”
Xavion's legs were already beginning to sway, but he dared not disobey Charlie's command. He could only tremble as he picked up the wine glass once again, and poured two more glasses for his father and himself.
Immediately afterwards, Charlie looked at the stopwatch again and said, "Let’s stick to the old rules. I'll give you one minute each to drink your respective glasses.
Whoever exceeds the time limit will be rewarded with another!”
Spencer lamented, “Sir... I’ll really die if I have to keep drinking..."
Charlie waved his hand carelessly and said, "Don't worry, you won't die. If you really do, you can just come to me." "T-That’s..." Spencer was desperate.
Flustered, he thought 'If I die, how can I possibly go to you?!'
Charlie added casually, "To be honest, you father and son should really find a nice place to have fun. I’m just requesting you two to have some drinks. Previously, I reduced a similar father-son duo who angered me into ashes. Oh, there's also another who did the same. I had the words' pathetic jerk' carved on the son’s forehead, and 'pathetic jerk's father' on the father's forehead. You have no idea how lucky you are compared to them!"
Charlie went on cheerfully, "If either of you are interested, I can call my subordinate who's good at body calligraphy here. I'll get him to do some calligraphy for you both."
Spencer was frightened to hear Charlie’s vicious narration. Xavion, on the other hand, felt a sudden burst of phantom pain on his forehead when he envisioned someone carving his forehead.
