Chapter 1185
After realizing what was happening, he struggled violently, bellowing out from his throat.
“You dirty rat!”
“No, no, please…I beg you…”
Behind him, an old woman was on her knees, trembling, clutching at Damon’s pant leg, her wrinkled face wet with
tears.
“I beg you, spare my son…please…”
“Mom!!”
The smile on Damon’s face was replaced with a serious expression. He looked down at the old woman on the
ground, then glanced up at Nate, who instantly stepped forward to help the old woman up.
“Please, don’t kill my son…I beg you…”
The old woman was dressed in coarse cloth, simple but clean. Her small and frail body, supported by two household
guards, seemed incredibly fragile. “I beg you…I’ll bow down to you…please…
The mother’s pleading was filled with despair and helplessness. Even the guards, who considered themselves cold–
hearted, couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
Damon looked at her indifferently, his voice cold. “Do you know why I’m doing this to him?”
The old woman couldn’t understand all this. She just wanted her son to live. “Don’t kill him, please…”
“Because he tried to kill my wife.”
Damon’s cold eyes quietly fixed on her as he calmly speaks. The old woman froze, staring at Damon in disbelief.

Until now, she thought that her son had unintentionally offended some noble, and that was why…
“She’s not just my wife, she’s also a daughter. Do you understand?”
Damon’s gaze shifted to the woman next to him, still sensing fear and hatred in her eyes.
“Do you hate me?” Damon said coldly, a smirk playing on his lips. “That’s fine. Because I hate them too… But I can
catch them, torture them, even kill them… And you can’t do anything to hurt me, no matter how much you hate
me.”
That was reality.
The young woman’s eyes flickered, tears streaming down her face as she collapsed onto the ground, crying in
agony. “You bastard!”
The man in the cage watched the sobbing woman outside, biting his lip in pain, forcing himself to stay silent.
Damon slowly turned around, facing the man again, who was called ‘son‘ by the old woman. “I’m giving you one
last chance. Speak, or there will be consequences.”
“He’ll speak! He’ll tell you everything you want to know.” The old woman immediately cried out.
The man’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred. “You wish! You just brought them here to force us to talk, right?
You’re really underestimating us!! won’t say anything. Just kill me!”
During his outburst, Damon sat back down. Just as the man’s shout faded, “Bang-“A gunshot rang out.
The old woman’s cries abruptly stopped. She turned her head in disbelief to look at her son. He was just speaking,
his hands still in chains. But now, his head hung low, lifeless. The bullet had gone straight through his heart.
A deathly silence settled.
“My son!” The old woman screamed.
“He probably thought I was just threatening you and wouldn’t actually kill him… Seems like he thought too highly of
me. I gave him three chances, but he thought I wouldn’t end his life right in front of you.”
Damon casually put away his gun.
The old woman was still in shock, her eyes wide, staring at her lifeless son, forgetting to breathe. Eventually, Nate
lightly tapped the back of her neck, and she fainted, her breathing recovering.
Everyone could hardly believe that Damon actually pulled the trigger. He ended the captive’s life right in front of his
mother, without a change in expression.
The other captive was equally in disbelief. He was not afraid of death before, but now, he was terrified of dying in
front of his loved ones. Leaving their families was already irresponsible. Now, both captives had to die in front of
their loved ones…
This was a permanent shadow, a permanent sin, a permanent fear. What cruelty had they inflicted on the ones who
loved and cherished them?
“What about you?”
Before he could recover from the other man’s death, Damon’s cold voice slowly echoed again.
He stiffly turned to look at Damon, suddenly realizing that beneath the polished exterior of the well–dressed,
seemingly indifferent man, hid a ruthless, cold–blooded devil.
“You see, to me, your deaths are just a way to save time. If you don’t talk, it would just take me a bit longer. Your
deaths are just tools to buy time.”

“Or perhaps you also think like him, that losing your life for a doomed mission, and showing your toughness, is more
important than leaving your wife and child struggling in this world?”
The man’s rigid eyes finally moved a bit, “What did you say?!”
“I’m pregnant.”
The woman on the ground suddenly said softly, her hand on her stomach. She looked up at the man, tears
streaming down her face.
“You’re such a bastard!!” The girl didn’t hesitate, glaring at him with red eyes, “You’re not afraid of death, are
you?!”
Suddenly, she scrambled up from the ground, rushing to Damon’s side, snatched up a knife from the table next to
Nate, held it with both hands, and pointed it directly at her own stomach.
The man shouted out in fear, “No.”
Damon played with the gun in his hand, completely ignoring the woman’s actions.
“I want to tell you, I’ve only loved you in my life! If you’re gone, I don’t want to live either! Since we’re all dying, I
might as well go first!”
With that, she swung her arms, the sharp knife plunging toward her stomach.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!!”
Seeing her actions, the man’s mind seemed to explode. Nate’s hand quickly grabbed her, stopping the tragedy just
in time. The man’s fearful expression eased slightly. He wet his throat, then finally closed his eyes tightly.
“I’ll talk…”
The dead man was carried out of the cage, and the old woman was taken away with him. The young woman and
Wendy, who was already pale from fright, were also escorted out of the room.
“Start talking. Tell me everything you know.”
