Jin Cheng shook his head. He couldn't speak because Amon was squeezing his throat.
Amon let him go, and he dropped to the floor. He panted and touched his bruised neck while trying to catch his breath. Amon stayed there. He didn't move. He remained there while watching Jin Cheng on his four. Jin Cheng looked up after his breath returned to normal. He had a brief eye contact with Amon but quickly looked away.
"Do I need to find your replacement?" Amon asked threateningly.
"No… No," Jin Cheng answered.
"Do remember that you are on the job here. You are not here to act like a young master. Do well, and you will be rewarded. Do poorly and prepare to be replaced. That is the way of the world. It never changes. Deal with it, or I will. Understood?"
Jin Cheng nodded.
"That will be all," Amon said and walked away, leaving Jin Cheng still on his four on the floor.
Amon entered the guest room where Wi Zhuang was resting. Wi Yin was there with him.
