Chapter 1102 Dire Consequences

“You, especially!” the prison guard bellowed as he gave James another lash. “Not only did you buy your way up, but you also accepted bribes! What a sc*mbag! You don't deserve to live in this world!”

James instantly paled and almost cried out in pain.

Ouch! This hurts so much! When have I ever suffered like this before?

When the whip mercilessly landed on his back with another resounding snap, James could no longer tolerate the pain and crumpled to the ground.

Even so, the prison guard walked over and brutally kicked him in the stomach. “Quit your act. Everyone knows the crimes you've committed! There's a mountain of evidence against you! Get up right now!”

James' forehead was heavily beaded with sweat as he clutched his stomach and glared at the guard. “I'm not guilty. I didn't take any bribes!”

“How dare you try to argue with me! Fine. Go ahead, then!” the guard retorted before raising his whip and unleashing his fury on James.

Whack! Whack! Whack!

After several lashes in succession, the piercing sound of the whip echoed through the sky.

Unfortunately, none of the other prisoners dared to step forward, and they could only watch helplessly as James suffered at the guard's hand.

By the time the guard grew tired and stopped the battering, James had been beaten to a pulp, and the whip was drenched in blood.

He lay curled up on the ground, gazing at the gray, overcast sky and the four walls around him.

He slowly closed his eyes as he whispered to himself, “I didn't commit any crimes... I'm innocent...”

I'm innocent...

After the prisoners had finished their chores, they lined up one by one to leave the place, leaving James behind.

The snow kept falling, growing larger and denser with every passing second.

As James remained on the ground, the snow fell on his head and clothes.

Soon, an hour passed...

Two hours later, one of the prison guards couldn't bear the sight any longer and approached the cold-hearted guard from earlier.

“Boss, don't let him freeze to death. If the higher-ups were to launch an investigation, we'd be dragged into this mess.”

After all, James hadn't been sentenced yet and was only being temporarily detained.
