Scarface Louie was shaking like a leaf as he groveled with a hoarse voice.
Kingsley stared at him impassively. "Didn't you say earlier that you wouldn't apologize even if I killed you? What happened to all your bravado?"
"I..." Louie smacked his own mouth and wailed, "I'm sorry! I was stupid! It was all a bluff! I'm so sorry!"
Louie was filled with regret and self-reproach.
Why did I act tough just now?! I'm the one who's asking for it now!
Even if Kingsley did not go so far as to take his life, the same could not be said about Baron.
If Baron, the underground fighting champion, wanted to take his life, it would be a piece of cake for him.
When Louie thought about this, he began to quiver in fright again!
He hurriedly bowed to Alan and repeated, "Professor Gershwin, I'm really sorry! Please forgive me just this once!"
Louie knew that Alan was a kind person, so he hoped that Alan would speak on his behalf.
Alan had a complicated expression on his face, but just as he was about to speak, Kingsley cut in and said, "Professor Gershwin, you should go and get your head injury checked. I'll sort this mess out."
"Just as well..." Alan sighed. "There is no progress without change. Rules are important to maintain social order."
He tottered away slowly after saying his piece.
"Prof..."
Louie's heart sank as he stared after Alan's retreating figure.
He was dead meat!
No one could plead on his behalf now!
Louie turned around and kneeled to
Kingsley. "Mr. Nicholson, please forgive me! I beg you, please let me off just this
H once...
However, there was a dangerous glint in Kingsley's eyes. "Professor Gershwin is right. Rules need to be set in place to maintain social order. In any case, I've already given you a chance earlier."
Kingsley gestured to Baron and commanded, "Lay down the law! Bury him!"
His voice was ringing in Louie's ears, and Louie felt like he had been struck by lightning!
Everything went dark!
Thud!
Louie fainted from terror!
Meanwhile, Louie's men were frightened out of their wits as well!
