Ex-husband Goes Money Comes by Yvone Zabielski novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480 Our Difference

This endless physical and mental torture almost made Ronian unable to breathe.

He clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly.

Anger was building up in his chest. He was on the verge of exploding.

However, Ormand didn't get physical with him at all despite the cup Ormand threw at him at the very beginning. Ormand was only making him do what he did in training.

So even if Ronian wanted to accuse Ormand, he didn't know what he should accuse Ormand of.

As he was thinking, Ormand tapped his knuckles on the table and suddenly said, "You still have fifteen seconds to decide."

Ronian's breathing hitched. All the thoughts that were in his head a few seconds ago disappeared after he heard Ormand's words.

Ronian quickly walked to the wall, gritted his teeth, and pulled himself together. Two steps from the wall, he stood on his hands.

He was close to the wall. But he wasn't touching the wall.

This was the whole point. To solely rely on the arms to support the body weight.

The wall behind him was only for him to fall back on.

This skill was very difficult and tiring.

Besides, Ronian was already worn out.

Only two minutes later, his arms couldn’t stop shaking.

If he stayed in this position for the whole thirty minutes, Ronian felt he would probably drop dead.

He had not been so miserable for many years.

He would never forget this experience and the guy who put him through it for the rest of his life!

Ormand looked at Ronian from afar and saw his trembling arms. Ormand raised his tea and took a sip. Then, Ormand spoke.

"Ronian, I have stayed in Washington for too many years and neglected you. As a result, you thought more and more highly of yourself and even wanted to take my place."

Ronian endured the pain and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Hobson... You're teasing me... I don’t have the guts."

Ormand snorted and rubbed the place between his eyebrows lazily. "You are the deputy director, and it's me who trained you up. No one knows better than me how ambitious you are and how much you want power and wealth.

"However, you have completely forgotten why you started and are becoming more and more like a stranger to me."

After Ronian took charge of the Felton family, the feeling of being able to order everyone around fascinated him. So he began to want more and bigger power.

Ronian knew this too. But he would not change, and he did not think he was wrong.

"Mr. Hobson, it's not true. I... I haven't changed..."

These words took Ronian the last bit of his energy. He fell backward and soon bounced off the wall into the original position.

Ormand didn't have the patience for Ronian's nonsense. He said seriously, "You are tired. You feel that your arms are about to break and even feel that you can't stand it any longer, right?"

Ronian didn't say anything, but it was obvious that was how he felt.

Ormand continued, "When my teacher trained me, it was worse than this. I even felt like I was about to die.

"But in fact, human beings have infinite potential. In the face of absolute pressure, even the proudest men have to bow their heads.

"Moreover, I knew what kind of punishment I would get if I failed the challenge. So even if it would kill me, I must make it through.

"Ronian, the difference between you and me is so much more than 'deputy'.’’

Ronian was stunned.

He didn't understand what Ormand was trying to do.

Ormand had never talked with him so seriously. Was Ormand trying to remember the past with him because Ormand was enjoying punishing him?
