"And once we fall from grace, they will return it to us a thousandfold, making sure we don't die in peace." Wang Longhu looked at Gang Baisi and smiled at Chi Ming.
A flash of cruelty and panic quickly crossed Gang Baisi's eyes.
But he promptly composed himself and shook his head in denial, "How could that be, my lords? As long as you don't kill me and spare my life, I, Gang Baisi, swear I will never provoke you two again."
Gang Baisi kowtowed frantically, trying to hide the uncontainable hatred in his eyes with his subservience.
As a local tyrant, he had been arrogant and domineering for years. Naturally, his character was one of revenge for the slightest grievance, not something that could easily change.
As Wang Longhu said, it's only because he currently lacks the strength to deal with Wang Longhu that he acts so servile and ingratiating.
Once he escapes Wang Longhu's control, he will find every possible way to exact revenge on him.
This is the way of this land.
