He placed one of his hands on the glass as a gesture of longing as if he longed to stroke Wing's face. On his face was a sad smile and his eyes were red and wet, "Wing, you've always been strong. No matter what happens—you're still as strong as you were when you were young. If you survived that, you can survive anything. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for being strong. Thank you for always staying with me."
Brian just stood quietly at the door looking at Wing through the glass window. Wing was lying on the bed with all kinds of tubes inserted all over her body. Then he turned to look at Weston.
After a while, he just walked away without another word.
Meanwhile, in South Africa, Richie and Shirley had just heard about what happened. Shirley almost passed out.
"Wing's going to be fine," Richie comforted her, "Brian and Weston are there and they won't let anything happen to Wing."
Shirley burst into tears. "I... I'm going back to see Wing. I'm going now!"
"Okay, I have arranged a plane," Richie offered.
Shirley looked at Richie through her tear-brimmed eyes and just nodded. She was too anxious to even speak.
"Will you take Mark back with you?" Richie asked insightfully. Shirley was taken aback because she hadn't even considered it. If he didn't bring it up, it might have caused more problems—she would have more things to worry about.
Shirley looked back at Richie in gratitude, "Yes, yes, we're taking Mark with us."
Richie looked very serious as he took Shirley into his arms. He looked at Antonio meaningfully. Antonio understood this right away. He nodded and left. He was to arrange everything so that Mark could go with them.
At the rooftop of the hospital, Brian sat on a chair looking sombre than ever. His eyes were darkened and his jaw was tensed up.
Tony stood behind Brian as they both stared at Vincent. 'How many lives can you Vincent have to lose? If other people did such a thing, Brian would kill him a thousand time. Even if you are confident about your ability and Brian appreciates it, you still needs to pick the right time to show it. How can you put both Mrs. Molly and Miss Wing in danger?' Tony thought to himself.
Vincent knelt in front of Brian, clenching his teeth as he admitted his faults, "I'll take full responsibility for what happened today. This is all my fault. I was too proud and careless. Mr. Brian, I'll take whatever punishment you give me. Whatever it is, I'll take it wholeheartedly. I deserve it!"
Brian was already furious with him and this only angered him even more. Without missing a beat, Brian jumped to his feet toppling over the chair he was just sitting on. Brian lifted his foot and kicked Vincent right in the chest. Then he pointed a finger to Vincent as he roared, "You stupid, stupid piece of garbage! Don't you use your mind first before doing anything?! Regardless of whether those people are our people, even if you have super skills and abilities, how dare you think you can use Molly? You should feel lucky that Wing's safe now. Otherwise, I would have killed you a thousand times, huh?!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He picked up a whip from the table and slapped it across Vincent. Brian didn't hold back—he whipped Vincent with all his strength and power. Vincent didn't even try to dodge, so the whip slapped hard across his shoulder.
The sound of the whip nipping against Vincent's skin was clear and crisp. Blood started to soak Vincent's shirt.
Vincent clenched his jaw in pain as sweat formed on his forehead. But even then, he remained on his knees motionless and wordless.
Brian continued to whip him. Tony, who was watching, was grimacing and even had to turn around because he couldn't bear to watch all of this.
If Brian kept whipping like this, in the way Brian had been trained to do it, Vincent would end up in bed for days.
The whipping sound never ended. Vincent was so beaten up now that his body had turned into the color of rust and red. Tony finally spoke up, "Mr. Brian, I think he's already learned his lesson. At least he sent the plasma in time."
As Brian trembled in fury, he tossed the whip aside and scowled at Vincent, "You're a disappointment! After all these years, this is the first time that I've ever seen you fuck up like this!" He paused as he looked at Vincent who was wincing in pain, "You don't follow the system anymore and you can't even discipline yourself! I choose to spare your life today. But I don't want to see you in the Agency from now on."
Tony and Vincent were left stunned when Brian finished speaking. And without missing a beat, Vincent suddenly pulled a dagger out of his boot and stabbed himself.
"Vincent!" Tony cried. He tried to stop him, but he was too late now.
