The man just stared at him, but said nothing.
Felix sneered.
Seeing this, Ford took his whip and hit him with it. "Mr. Bissel is asking you a question, didn't you hear? Answer him!"
The man screamed again, but when the cry passed, his eyes were the same as those of hatred, and he spat a mouthful of blood at Felix with a "pooh."
Queeny was shocked.
He really was a tough guy.
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer," said Felix casually. "If I want to know, I can always find a way."
His eyes drooped slightly. "I remember you came to me when you were thirteen, right?"
Still he did not speak.
Felix continued, "Your family was bullied by some local officials that year. Your sister died tragically, your mother became seriously ill, and you had no money to buy medicine or send her to the hospital. So you went underground to fight at a young age, trying to save your mother with your skills."
"I found you by accident, saved you when you were being beaten to death, and I gave you money to treat your mother, let you got trained so you wouldn't get shot."
"I gave you a job when you were desperate so that you can live well. So I really can't figure out why you would betray me."
He said, fixing his eyes on him.
The man, who had been looked at for a moment, suddenly burst into silly laughter.
The laughter, like a serpent climbing up from the back with its tongue hanging out, was particularly repugnant.
Queeny frowned, feeling even more disgusted with the person before her.
She knew that Felix had handpicked most of the people around him.
He picked them, he trained them, and they became warriors loyal only to him.
There was no way a guy like that would betray him.
So why?
She was also very curious.
And then the man laughed and said, "Give me a job? Give me money? Well... Yes, you did. But didn't we work hard for that money? We're just taking our lives to make money, and you look so patronizing as if you gave it to us. Why?"
As he spoke, not only Queeny but also Felix and Ford frowned.
Felix croaks, "So you went over to them and planted a bomb in my room?"
The man sneered, "Yes, I took refuge with them, because they not only promised to give me money, but also promised to give me a position above thousands of people."
"Everyone thinks you saved our lives. Because of you, we have a lot of money and a big house to live in, and it's like we can't live better."
"But who knows we're worse off than dogs. We go first in danger. We sell our lives, and you own most of the money. Why?"
"Because you were born as a Bissel? Well... I don't fucking agree!"
His anger seemed to grow, and his face grew grim as he spoke.
Felix's face was expressionless.
