The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 736

Chapter 736 A Terrifying Punishment

It was as Gale had said, Thomas knew full well how cruel King were toward those who failed him.

Trembling in fear, Thomas shook his head vehemently. “Mr. Gale, don’t, please don’t. I’m sure the years I spent working for King must at least mean something. I beg of you. Please let the matter slide just this once.”

Yara, too, was terrified by the scene.

In contrast to the father and daughter, Gale had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. As he strode up to Thomas, he grabbed the latter’s left hand and pinned it on the table. Subsequently, he pulled out an electric knife from his shoe.

With a flip of a switch, the blade of the electric knife began to spin.

“Mr. Gale, no, please don’t.” By then, Thomas’ face had lost all color while his pupils dilated from the fear.

Ignoring his pleas, Gale raised the electric knife and let it fall on Thomas’ left wrist. The moment the struggling hand was severed, warm blood spew out uncontrollably from the wound.

“Argh!”

Thomas’ agonizing scream caused Yara to slump to the ground with her heart pounding furiously.

Despite having taken countless lives with her own hands, she had never seen such a gruesome sight before. When she saw fresh blood everywhere, her mind drew nothing but a blank.

After kicking aside the twitching hand, Gale took out a pill from his pocket, grabbed Thomas by his cheeks, and shoved it in his mouth.

“Swallow it. After you do so, you’ll still survive without your left hand.” Gale casually remarked, “Don’t accuse me of not pleading for mercy on your behalf, for you might have lost your other hand instead. Also, the pill is given to you on the account of your long service.”

Thomas was in so much pain that his face contorted in a bunch.

Glaring at the man who cut off his hand, Thomas felt the urge to tear him apart. However, his desire for survival forced him to disregard his pride and quickly swallow the pill with the help of his saliva.

The pain Thomas suffered was so overwhelming that he didn’t even have the strength to whimper.
