Chapter 219 Intense Humiliation
Just as the words left his mouth, a solid wooden cane struck his calf.
“Oh! Ouch!”
Philip glared at him angrily. “Nonsense! Do not disrespect Master Nirvana!”
Anthony, terrified, didn’t dare say anything
hoping to avoid another beating.
He hunched his shoulders and moved away from Philip,
In the corner, Apollo’s gaze was fixed on the distant room. His eyes, which had been slightly red, were now deepening to a dark crimson, and a wave of agitation radiated from him.
Milly… Milly…
Apollo wondered if Milly had abandoned him. Why didn’t she take him with her when she left?
But Milly had told him before that he couldn’t always follow her. If he stayed put and behaved, she would- come back for him, just like how she was there every morning when he woke up after sleeping.
Still, he felt incredibly restless. Why had Milly been gone for so long? Apollo felt a fire burning inside him that he couldn’t contain. He wanted to hit someone, to kill someone, to see all these people he hated dead, to rip off their heads, drain their blood, and make this place overflow with fresh blood…
Blood…
The thought made his eyes grow even redder, and his fingers trembled with excitement. That was his favourite colour.
No, no!
Milly had warned him not to kill indiscriminately, not to lose control of his emotions. She would be sad if she came back to see him like this, and he didn’t want her to be sad…
He extended his arm and bit into his flesh, hard, as if he was numb and stubborn, thinking this could somehow control his inner urges.
He bit deeply, and soon his pale skin was bleeding profusely, exposing the bone. Yet he felt no pain, and his bite only grew stronger.
Milly… Milly…
At that moment, a large hand suddenly rested on his head, not heavily, but gently ruffling his hair.
Apollo snapped his head up, full of vigilance, eyes burning with murderous intent. Blood stained his lips and teeth, giving him a demonic look in the flickering candlelight.
Jordan sighed, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wrapped it around Apollo’s bleeding wound. But Apollo, unaccustomed to human touch, whimpered and tried to pull away, only for Jordan to firmly grab his wrist.
“Stay still! Be good!” Jordan’s tone was like that of a parent scolding a child.

before, so he was a good person.
“Ah–woo….

Jordan quickly bandaged Apollo’s wrist, stopping the bleeding. “Milly will be back soon. She hasn’t abandoned you. She just has something to take care of and will return shortly.
“If she comes back and sees your injured hand, she’ll be sad. Do you want her to be sad?”
Apollo tilted his head, no
wary, trying to understand Jordan’s words. “Ah–woo?”
Jordan finished bandaging Apollo’s hand, ensuring the bleeding had stopped before standing up, hands on his hips, looking down at him with a complex expression. He didn’t care whether Apollo understood or not and said, “Milly named you because she wanted you to be like the sun, always shining. It’s clear she cares about you a lot.
“I’ve investigated your background. Even though George tried to erase all traces of your information, the Burnetts are not without resources. If I want to find out something, I will. You’re very skilled, and I trust you around Milly. But, of course, that depends on your loyalty…
“What I mean is: As long as you remain loyal to Milly, you will always be a young master of the Burnetts, my brother, and no one will have the right to question you. But if you ever betray Milly, I won’t hesitate to destroy you with the most brutal methods. I can promise you that.”
Jordan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear enough for Apollo to hear every word.
Apollo didn’t understand, but in that moment, the darkness in his eyes began to fade, returning to a soft pink.
“Ah–woo!”
Jordan understood him, smiled, and ruffled his hair again, this time with a gentle affection. “Good boy.”
This must be what people mean by love me, love my dog.
For their kind, the head was the most important part. They could survive and fight as long as their head was intact, regardless of injuries to other parts of their body. So, they didn’t let others touch their heads lightly.
Yet this time, Apollo allowed someone other than Milly to touch his head. It was his simplest way of showing trust.
Jonathan and Anthony had somehow moved closer, their eyes fixed on Jordan’s hand… or more accurately, on Apollo’s head.
It looked soft, with soft hair, a soft head, and a soft face…
When Jordan let go, the two of them suddenly raised their hands, but before they could reach Apollo’s head, he noticed and stared at them sharply. “Ah–woo!”
Anthony and Jonathan, intimidated by his fierce expression, quickly pulled their hands back…
Why could Jordan touch him, but not them?
Anthony, trying to assert his authority as an older brother, looked at Apollo. “I’m your brother. I’m older
