William was on the floor, supporting himself on his hands as he retreated on the cement floor.
It took everything within Rowan to hold back his urge to kill him.
“W-What do you want?” William’s voice was shaky. “Rowan Irwin… lynching is illegal!”
“Lynching?” Rowan snickered. “You’re not worth my effort! Hah, even if I do that, I’m breaking Centrolis’ law, but I’m from Southeast Aciatic!”
“You…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Jenner!” Rowan gritted each word through his teeth. “This is not some lynching. On the contrary, I’ve heard that you’ve not been feeling well after going bankrupt and often feel dizzy and have high blood pressure… I’m here specifically to treat you!”
As soon as he said that, thin and long silver needles glinted in his hand. Rowan’s eyes were surging with resentment. There was never a moment like now where he hoped to use everything he had learned to kill someone.
His hands had cured the injured and saved the dead. They had given countless people hope. At this moment, though, he was turning into a devil from an angel.
Despite that, he would rather become a devil if that meant the people he loved would not suffer again.
“N-No!” William was terrified. “You can’t!”
With a blank face, Rowan yanked him up by his collar and stabbed a needle right in his neck!
The acupuncture point was not lethal, but it was agonizing. The pain seeped slowly, like poison, corroding whatever little willpower William had.
William’s face contorted, and his cries resonated in the basement.
Rowan focused on the acupuncture points and landed one needle after another. They vented his rage and made up years of what he owed Xyla.
