Lennon shouted, “Let me go! Please, I beg you, just let me go! Do you want money? I can give you however much
you want! Ten billion, a hundred billion, five hundred billion... You name it and I’ll pay you! Just let me live!”
“Sorry, but I’m more interested in your tongue than money.”
“NO!” Lennon wailed at the top of his lungs, “You can kill me but please don’t cut out my tongue!”
With him being crippled, the only thing differentiating him from an animal was that he could still speak.
If his tongue were removed and he could not even talk, he would be no better than a beast!
However, Zeke clearly had no intention of heeding the other man’s pleas for mercy. Lennon had committed too
many crimes and had even insulted Lacey earlier.
Letting him die a quick death was too light a punishment for him.
Zeke raised his hand and with a slash of his knife, he instantly sliced off Lennon’s tongue.
Lennon howled in pain, the sound guttural due to the missing appendage in his mouth.
Picking up the tongue, Zeke stuffed it into its owner’s mouth and forced his chin up.
Gulp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLennon was forced to swallow his own tongue.
In less than half an hour, his stomach acid would start breaking down the cells of the appendage, doing irreversible
damage to it. Even if he somehow managed to retrieve it, it would be impossible to reattach it.
After that, Zeke lashed out with a kick that sent Lennon flying out of the house.
“Trash. You don’t have the right to be in my house.”
It was only after he was done cleaning up the scene that he turned to look at Lacey. “Lacey, are you satisfied?”
Lacey spun around, showing him her back as she muttered angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve already
recovered? Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been these past few days!”
He hastily replied, “Lacey, I didn’t lie to you. I only recovered just now.”
“Liar.”
Realizing that his earlier words did seem a feeble excuse, he answered honestly, “Alright, fine. Truthfully, it’s been
several days since I regained motor control of my limbs. But I really didn’t mean to lie to you. I only did this to give
the enemy a false sense of security. I promise I’ll never lie to you again! If I do, I shall be run over by a——”
Her hand darted out to cover his mouth. “Shut it! Don’t make such horrifying vows. I believe you didn’t mean to
keep the truth from me. Now, the most important thing is to deal with these men. Oh, why did you have to beat
them up so badly and also cut out Lennon’s tongue? The Sullivan family is sure to come after us even more
aggressively now! What are we going to do?”
“Relex, Lecey. Don’t worry, I’ll hendle everything. I’ve elreedy come up with e wey to deel with the Sullivens.”

Swiftly chenging the subject, he ordered, “Rosie, dispose of these men end send Lennon beck to the Sullivens.”
“Relax, Lacey. Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. I’ve already come up with a way to deal with the Sullivans.”
Temporarily out of danger, Zeke shooed Lacey back to work.
He waited till she was gone before he called out in a low tone, “Come out.”
Rosie entered the house with several of her men from Necro Group.
She was sighing and had a despairing look on her face.
“Rosie, why are you sighing?” Zeke asked curiously.
“I’ve only ever heard rumors about how pretty your wife was. Today is the first time I’ve actually seen her, and I
must say her beauty is way beyond what I imagined. No wonder she has you wrapped around her little finger. How
could I possibly compete with her?”
Zeke was speechless at her words.
Lacey came from a noble family. Naturally, there was no way a commoner could ever compare when it came to
demeanor or looks.
Swiftly changing the subject, he ordered, “Rosie, dispose of these men and send Lennon back to the Sullivans.”
