Chapter 14

Gavin let out a low growl tinged with anger.

The sudden commotion appeared to take Peter by surprise and rouse a group of onlookers from their shock, who had been initially stunned by the event.

However, when they all came back to their senses, they were met with unexpected sight.

The most affluent individual in Brookspring, Vincent, went to great lengths as he knelt down and crawled on all fours, steadily progressing toward the office.

He was literally groveling on all fours.

This peculiar sight left the onlookers, who had just come back to their senses, plunged into a state of absolute bewilderment

once more.

Within the confines of the office, the sole occupants were Gavin, who was comfortably settled in a plush sofa chair, Zoe, and Vincent, the wealthiest tycoon in Brookspring, who was now down on one knee, prostrated on the floor.

Devoid of any need for Gavin to verbalize a single word, Vincent let out a resounding cry. His voice choked with tears as he uttered.

“Master, I have sinned!”

Gavin’s eyes remained impassive as he slightly squinted them, fixing his gaze upon Vincent before inquiring with deliberate

slowness.

“What is your sin?”

With a thunderous thud, Vincent pounded his head forcefully against the ground, sobbing inconsolably.

“At that time, I was out of the country, participating in an international summit abroad. I only caught wind of the Clifford family tragedy when it was already too late. I made a mad dash back without a moment’s pause, but…

“Thud!”

Another resounding thud reverberated through the air as Vincent’s head collided with the ground once again, all the while uttering his remorseful words to Gavin.

“I have sinned, Master. You have the authority to inflict punishment upon me, and even if it leads to my demise, I shall not put up any resistance!”

“Thud” His head made contact with the ground once more.

And this time resulted in a small rivulet of blood trickling from his forehead.

Nevertheless, he didn’t cease and continued to prostrate himself before Gavin frantically.

After a few repetitions, Vincent’s visage was almost concealed by the crimson hue of his own blood, when Gavin’s voice finally broke the silence.

“Enough.”
