End Times Surviving with My Beastly Army
Chapter 169 Even a Child Understands
Fin shed
“From everything you just said, it’s obvious that you’re insecure and overly sensitive. Someone treats you sincerely, and in your eyes, it somehow turns into something twisted.
“If people treat you badly, you hold a grudge. If they treat you well, you assume they have ulterior motives. So what exactly do you expect? Do they have to put you on a pedestal before you stop thinking they’re against you?
‘Call it insecurity if you want to be polite. But to be blunt? You’re just ungrateful. Do you really think everyone else is blind, that they can’t tell right from wrong?”
The reason Dennis turned on Wayne was simply jealousy.
And worse, they had been friends for years. Yet for something like this, he was willing to push Wayne to his leath. That kind of betrayal was devastating.
No wonder, in her previous life, Wayne had no friends and rejected anyone who tried to get close.
And someone like Dennis reminded Robin of Noah and Zelda–that trashy pair–instantly doubling her
lisgust.
she turned to Wayne. “If you’re not going to deal with him, I’ll just kill him myself.”
Wayne froze for a moment. “Wait…”
Robin frowned. “What? After everything he’s done to you, don’t tell me you’re still going to speak up for
im?”
Hearing that, a flicker of hope appeared in Dennis’s eyes. “Wayne, Wayne… I know you’re soft–hearted. We’ve been friends for so many years. I was just mad. Don’t take it seriously…
We’ve had plenty of arguments over the years, but didn’t you forgive me every time?
Forgive me this once, too. I know you’re a good person. I just lost my head for a moment, and it wasnt what I really meant. I don’t even know what came over me… I just couldn’t control it…
But I swear, if you forgive me this time, I’ll be a good friend to you from now on. I misjudged you all hese years. I know now how much you cared about me. I’ll make it up to you, I promise!
Wayne… Wayne…”
Propping himself up, Dennis struggled forward, reaching out to grab Wayne’s pant leg
Wayne lowered his gaze, expressionless, and quietly stepped back
Grabbing nothing but air, Dennis began to panic
He forced out a strained smile. “Wayne, you’ll forgive me, right”
Robin crossed her arms, watching the scene with interest

Chapter 169 Even a Child Understands
Wayne let out a soft sigh, then slowly crouched down, looking straight into Dennis’s eyes. “Dennis, I’ve treated you well all these years…”
Dennis’s heart instantly sank.
“1…”
Wayne continued, “Didn’t you just say you wanted to feed me to the zombies?”
Dennis’s eyes widened in terror. “No, no, Wayne, you can’t do this! We’ve been friends for years… You can’t treat me like this…”
Just then, Robin returned, and both Vivian and Oscar relaxed a little.
Oscar peeked his head out from behind, speaking up righteously, Mister, that’s not right!
‘Everyone’s the same. You were the one who treated that guy badly first. That’s called being a hypocrite!”
Hearing the child’s voice, Wayne couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s right.”
His face was full of irony. “Dennis, even a child understands this. How could you not?
‘I’m just treating you the way you treated me. So why can’t you accept it?”
He picked up the rope nearby and, without hesitation, tied up Dennis’s hands and feet.
It was the very rope that had been used on him.
Dennis struggled desperately, but already injured, he was no match.
The scene felt eerily familiar–only now, the roles were reversed.
