Chapter 1110 Kindness
Zhang San felt a chill run down his spine, rubbing his arm as he glanced around: "Little brother, don’t laugh like that, it’s too creepy. Look around, it’s all graves here. Hearing your laughter, I felt as if hundreds of things were crawling out of them—terrifying..."
"Died once already and still so timid."
The dwarf stopped laughing and scoffed, "You want revenge against the Prime Minister? I think you’re just an egg striking a rock—asking for death."
"I know it’s an egg striking a rock, but I just can’t swallow this hatred." Remembering how his wife was taken by force, his son met a cruel fate, and how he’d been imprisoned in the dungeon for over a decade, Zhang San grew angrier the more he thought about it. All of this was thanks to that damned Prime Minister. His family had been torn apart, and he had barely escaped death in that pitch-black dungeon.
If it weren’t for the dwarf...
His life might have ended right there.
"If you want revenge, you must harden your heart. A real man can’t hesitate at every turn. If you keep being timid, not only will you fail to take revenge, but you’ll likely lose your life too. You’d better think it through—the Prime Minister stands just below one man and above thousands. If you want to live a few more years, I advise you to find a hidden place and live quietly." The dwarf, who usually kept to himself, hadn’t intended to say anything. But Zhang San’s reliance on him was a feeling he’d never had before, and his rare moment of compassion made him offer advice.
Years ago, to find treatment for his son, Zhang San traveled with his family to the Capital, full of hope as they sought out the Prime Minister. He thought that with the Prime Minister’s help, his son would soon recover, and they could return home. Back at home, an aging mother awaited them. But it had been more than a decade now—she was likely long dead from starvation.
After all, when they departed for the Capital, they thought they’d return quickly and had only prepared a few months’ worth of food for her.
Besides, his elderly mother was blind and unable to move freely. Her fate was easy to imagine.
"If this revenge isn’t taken, I am no man."
Zhang San bit his teeth in fury as he recalled the past, slamming his palm hard against a nearby tree.
