The night fell.
Flocks of crows hovered and chirped in high pitch.
It sounded like death.
A cemetery in the forest.
The light was flashing.
Yael was tied to a big tree.
His casual outfit was already in tatters and dripping with blood. He looked like a blood man.
Two pairs of iron chains were nailed to the tree trunk above his head and fell vertically.
The sharp iron hook pierced his shoulders. His bloody body was especially terrifying under the streetlight.
The severe pain caused Yael’s body to twitch and tremble constantly.
His face was also so pale that it had no trace of blood.
He moaned in pain, but the moaning was as if being squeezed out between the teeth.
His eyes still looked as bright as stars, filled with hatred.
They could hear shovels plowing the soil not far away.
Vaguely, a twisted figure could be seen plowing in the forest.
The middle-aged man in front of Yael stabbed the muscles on his shoulders with a knife.
The flesh was exposed instantly, and blood was oozing out.
Yael’s body shook right away, and he groaned in pain.
“What a tough guy. Piercing the shoulders made you scream. But the thirteen wounds on your body only made you groan.”
Although the middle-aged man was laughing, he looked ferocious and cold. He shook his head, pretending to be sorry, “It’s a shame that you didn’t know your place in Quinn’s. You could’ve been eligible to compete for the master of the family in the future. With your own capability and character, of course. Even if you sit around and do nothing for the family, you can still live in comfort.”
“Unfortunately, you pushed yourself forward. That was really a loss for the Quinn’s.”
Yael slowly raised his head. His blood-stained face looked like a man-eating beast.
He looked at the middle-aged man in resentment and was ready to kill.
Yael smiled.
The corner of his mouth was still twitching because of the pain, making his smile look hideous and terrifying.
He spit blood-stained saliva on the middle-aged man’s face.
Yael smiled and said, “Uncle Harold, what if I kill you? Aren’t you afraid?”
The middle-aged man was Yael’s uncle, Harold Quinn.
Anger flashed in Harold’s eyes.
He calmly wiped off the blood on his face and looked at Yael with a vicious grin, “Don’t worry. The pit for burying you over there will be ready soon.”
Harold took two steps back, stretched out and stuck the knife in his hand on the tree trunk beside him.
“Yael, you are indeed the dragon of the Quinn’s family. It’s a shame that you won’t have the chance to kill me. You’ll have to be buried in that pit soon.”
“The Quinn’s has treated you very well. The family didn’t let you rot in the wilderness but buried you in the cemetery. And this is the best cemetery in the city. We haven’t let you down. Of course, the credit was mine. Don’t come back and haunt me, alright?”
Harold slowly sat on the rock, lit a cigarette, took a big sip, and exhaled thick smoke.
He laughed at himself, “To be honest with you, I admire your guts. You got the balls to kill your own father. Although your father is my older brother, I still think that you did the right thing. But you made it too quick. You should’ve done it like this. Torture him slowly to death like what I am doing to you now.”
Harold’s eyes flashed fiercely at the same time.
Suddenly he turned around and glared at Harold, “But forget about the killing, forget about abandoning the Quinn’s family. But by doing such things, you are forcing the family to kill you. You really should’ve been smarter!”
There was a trace of compassion in his tone.
Yael smiled contemptuously, “Enough, with the tears, of caiman. Uncle Harold.”
The severe pain made his words stop unnaturally.
“You’re not allowed to be so rude! You wicked rebellious and unfilial son!”
Harold got up suddenly and drew the knife from the trunk.
Yael’s body trembled. Another wound was stabbed to his left arm, blood was splashing.
However, there was just a groan between his teeth.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The soil under Yael’s feet was also soaked in blood.
The sharp pain made his whole body tremble like crazy. But the intense hatred in his eyes didn’t change.
“The master of the family has ordered to put you to death by dismembering. 20 stabs then bury you. There are 6 stabs left!”
Harold’s voice sounded cold and determined. His eyes looked fierce while holding the bleeding knife in his right hand. His hand was faintly trembling.
As a Quinn, he has been through a lot in his life so far.
But looking at Yael in the eyes, somehow gave him the creeps.
“I didn’t fail you, did I? I didn’t give that woman a hard time. Why do you hate me so much?”
Harold gritted his teeth.
“You can’t afford to offend… the Vaughn’s!” Yael said disdainfully.
“Shut up!”
The fifteenth stab was swinging down blatantly.
If it was someone else, they would be screaming like a pig. But Yael was horrifyingly tough.
“You shouldn’t hate me. This is a family order. None of this would be happening if you obey the rules, damn it!” Harold’s pupils shrank, and his eyes flickered with fear from time to time.
It was just a glance.
As an uncle, he has already lost his momentum to his own nephew Yael.
Yael endured the severe pain, exhaled heavily, and sneered.
“The Quinn will be destroyed by me if I am alive.”
“You are so dead!”
The sixteenth knife has swung down.
Blood was overflowing.
Blood was all over Yael’s body. He clenched while gasping heavily.
But he was still staring at Harold fiercely like a beast.
“Damn the Quinn’s. In the name of the richest family, but in fact you are all brute.”
“How dare you!”
The seventeenth knife has swung down.
From a distance, the pit-digging family members were watching.
They all looked pale and frightened.
Just then, they started digging again. But their hands were no longer as strong as before but trembling a little.
“I was born in the Quinn’s family. I should be invited to death by it as well!”
His vicious voice echoed in the mountains and forests.
The crows sounded compassionate in the night sky. It became harsher and denser.
Harold’s body trembled more severely while making eye contact with Yael. It was giving him the creeps again.
The eighteenth stab has swung down.
Yael suddenly started laughing, red blood flowing from his mouth and nose.
But the look in his eyes remained the same.
“I swear on my mother’s life, Yael shall be the one who killed his father and exterminate the entire family!”
Boom!
Harold was like struck by lightning.
At that moment, his facial features were extremely distorted. Meanwhile he was also scared to death.
“Maniac, you are a psychopath. The master was right, you deserve to die!”
The nineteenth stab has swung down.
Accompanied by Harold’s presumptuous laugh, “You won’t have the chance. The pit over there is ready. One stab left. I am sending you to hell. Your vows were all bullshit!”
The knife was suddenly raised, flashing cold light.
Yael smiled disdainfully, “I have a brother.”
“Jack Hughes? He won’t make it. You will be dead when he found you. Did you really think that as a bastard heir to the Hughes family, could be the master? Can he save your ass and prosper?”
The long knife blasted through the wind, and fell immediately.
The twentieth stab!
All of a sudden.
A sound broke the silence like thunder.
“He was right. His brother is here!”
