Chapter 753: Evolution Paths
"Sorry." An Daoqing looked at Li Xiaofei and apologized loudly.
"You came a bit late," Li Xiaofei spoke indifferently.
An Daoqing's gaze toward Li Xiaofei carried unwillingness, but even more fear.
"It was my fault," he said, raising his voice again.
There was no other way. He had to let everyone know that he had come to offer a humble apology, bearing thorns on his back.
Li Xiaofei looked at him, a trace of mockery appearing on his face. He pulled off the thorned branch from An Daoqing's back and, without hesitation, raised it high.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Three crisp sounds echoed. Beads of blood splattered and flew. Three deeply sunken, bloody welts appeared on An Daoqing’s back. Yet, his expression did not change much.
This kind of physical pain meant nothing to him. What truly made him feel ashamed and humiliated was the disgrace he had to bear in spirit. To apologize with thorns in front of the crowd, and to do so on his knees. This would be an immense humiliation even for an ordinary person. Let alone for someone like him, who prided himself on being one of the top elites in Chongque City.
"Get lost." Li Xiaofei threw the thorned branch aside and said, "But before that, clean up the mess you made."
An Daoqing remained silent and slowly stood up. He glanced at Captain Zhou and Captain Wei. The two of them kept their heads lowered, not daring to meet his gaze.
Witnessing their direct superior at his most humiliating moment was enough to bring about their own downfall. But the only silver lining was that they weren’t the only ones. Thousands of eyes at the scene had seen everything.
