Chapter 808 - 807: The Lion’s Wide Open Mouth
The outsiders who saw the man being killed all turned pale with fright. When they heard what Zhao Ping’an said, they were even more terrified, nearly wetting themselves.
Immediately, some people hurriedly kowtowed and shouted, "Ping’an, we were wrong, we were wrong, please spare us. But we really didn’t want to get involved in this matter, it was... it was the Hu Family who forced us to say it, we... we’re just small fries, how could we go against the Hu Family..."
Seeing these people kowtowing, the others no longer hesitated; they promptly knelt and begged for mercy as well.
Zhao Ping’an’s expression was cold as he said loudly, "I gave you a chance. After you came in, I asked you once again. If you had told the truth at that time, I could have spared you. But you chose not to, so now I can’t give you another chance."
With that, Zhao Ping’an turned towards the Elder of the Hu Family and said coldly, "Mr. Hu, please do me a favor. Pull out their tongues for me. But, I do not wish for them to die!"
The Elder of the Hu Family trembled all over; Zhao Ping’an’s method was truly ruthless. By pulling out their tongues and yet leaving them alive, he was leaving behind a group of living, useless people. From now on, even though they were alive, they would sink to the lowest strata of society, spending the rest of their lives atoning for their past actions.
However, the Elder of the Hu Family dared not say anything. Zhao Ping’an was gradually showing the demeanor of a superior, and the Elder was extremely nervous in his presence.
The Elder of the Hu Family ordered the Hu Family’s men to carry out the task, disregarding how the outsiders wailed and cried, and without letting any escape, did as Zhao Ping’an had said and pulled out all their tongues, leaving none behind.
Of course, there were people on hand to administer emergency aid to prevent them from dying. In the end, these people were in such pain that they writhed on the ground, yet they couldn’t make a sound. Moreover, they couldn’t even faint, which was the most painful part.
