Chapter 1394


    Adam sneered disdainfully, “Don’t worry. In all my life of making deals, I never go back on my word.”


    Jeremy reached surreptitiously into his pocket and ended the active call. He then smiled at Adam and


    said, “Let’s get on with it, then. The quicker we end this, the better.”


    Jeremy had shown tremendous resolve to avoid bing Adam’s son-inw, so Adam rubbed his


    hands vigorously without any intention of going easy on Jeremy.


    “Good. You had a better option, but you just had to choose the toughest one. You’ve made your bed, so


    sleep in it!”


    Jeremy handed his coat to Tommy and instructed, “Go outside and wait for me.”


    Tommy expressed concern and warned earnestly, “Sir, he’s renowned for his formidable strength.


    Taking a hundred blows from him could be fatal!”


    Jeremy, however, remained unfazed. He had no intention of changing his mind and replied pointedly, “If


    she calls againter, tell her I’m fine and that I’ve gone to bed.”


    Tommy frowned. “But, Sir…”


    Jeremy ignored his pleas and approached Adam calmly. “Please proceed.”


    Adam flexed his wrist mercilessly as he swung the bat at full force.


    Jeremy groaned but remained standing. The first blow struck Jeremy’s back, and his forehead began to


    sweat due to the intense pain.


    Tommy could not bring himself to leave. He never witnessed such a situation before, and he wanted to


    intervene. “Sir!”


    Jeremy issued a stern order. “Stay away. Don’t interfere.”


    Although Tommy hesitated, he ultimately defied Jeremy’s order for the first time. He rushed over in a


    desperate attempt to protect Jeremy, but Adam’s associates blocked him and stopped him from going


    any further. Tommy had no choice but to grit his teeth and watch helplessly.


    Adam delivered the second blow, eliciting another agonized groan from Jeremy. The strike hit the back


    of his knee, nearly causing him to kneel. Before his knees could touch the ground, the man clenched


    his fists and gritted his teeth as he stood straight up again. He then continued to endure the


    punishment.


    Adam did not stop there.


    After several blows, Sophia barged into the room all of a sudden and threw herself in anguish and


    shock at the battered, bruised Jeremy. She cried out, “Jeremy! Jeremy… Dad! What are you doing?!”


    Jeremyy on the ground. His leg bones were broken, his body was covered in bruises, and blood


    stained his mouth. He gazed firmly at Adam and did not even turn to look at Sophia. His voice trembled


    weakly due to the pain as he said, “… Ten more to go. Please continue.”

    Adam had almost vented out all his anger after swinging 90 blows. However, when he witnessed


    Jeremy’s unyielding demeanor, his pupils constricted, and he had nothing but admiration for his


    determination to face death rather than surrender. In that case, he would be happy to grant that


    request!


    As soon as Sophia saw her father raise the bat again, she threw her arms around Jeremy and shielded


    him. She begged her father, “Stop it, Dad! Stop hitting him!”


    Adam furrowed his brow and scolded his daughter. “Stand up, Sophia! I’m going to teach this wretch a


    lesson for letting you down. I’ll find someone better for you in the future!”


    Tears welled up in Sophia’s eyes. She shook her head vehemently and refused to budge. “Didn’t you


    promise me that you’d talk with him? Why are you beating him up? You’re going to kill him! I’ll join him


    in the afterlife if he dies!”
