Chapter 118

Janet couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

Everyone told her that Danton adored Andre and he was a loving father.

But what kind of loving father lashed his son in a dark back alley?!

All guards stood in their spots quietly, watching this scene in silence. They seemed quite used to this.

Hearing that Danton asked him to kneel, Andre’s body quivered.

He looked at Danton with a pleading look and begged, “Father…I-I can’t. My leg is broken. Can you spare me for this time, please?”

There was a wicked gleam in Danton’s eyes. His face was cold and heartless as ever.

“You are a fucking dog to me, Andre. You do whatever I ask you to do,” Danton said icily, “Get on your fucking knees. NOW.”

Andre bit his lips with tears circling in his eyes.

Slowly, he moved his injured legs. The extreme pain caused him to sweat heavily.

He eventually managed to kneel on the ground, panting nonstop.

“Good.”

Danton said in a freezing voice, “I heard that you got into some troubles with somebody tonight. Who did you mess with?”

“A-Alpha Daran and his Gamma Janet…but I was drunk, father! I didn’t know who. they were when I-Ahh!”

SLAP!

A hot slap landed on Andre’s cheek. His left side face became swollen immediately. “Fucking lying piece of shit!” Danton roared.

He grabbed Andre by the collar and glared at the kid, “Did you approach them on purpose? Do you think that they can help you? Getting you out of my control? Is that what you were thinking?!”

“NO! Father!” Andre cried in despair, “It was a coincidence! I know that they are our enemy. I would never approach them on purpose. I swear!”

Yet his pleading meant nothing to Danton.

Another hot slap landed on his right cheek this time.

“You should be grateful for being alive,” Danton looked down at Andre

condescendingly. “The King pardoned your life, and I nurtured you up. You will talk and behave exactly like we want you to. Understand?”

“…Yes, father.”

“I am watching you, son. Be a good boy. You don’t want to get punished, do you?” Andre’s body twitched when he heard the word “punish” as though it triggered some horrible memories.
