The subordinate instantly regretted speaking up for the doctor.“No, sir, that’s not what I meant. Please, you have to believe me. I didn’t mean anything by it.“I just saw that he couldn’t give anything useful, so I said a word without thinking.“And there’s no way I’d be working with him. I know who pays me and who treats me well. He’s just someone involved in the job, nothing more.”He hurried to declare his loyalty.After all, Edwin was the one footing the bill—there was no denying that.He gave the orders, he paid the money. There was no way he could confuse that.It wasn’t anything deeper than that.He just felt the doctor looked pitiful, barely able to speak. No matter how much they pushed him, they wouldn’t get anything out of him. Staying here and pressing him was just a waste of time.That was what he thought and he said it outright.“Sir, I’m saying this for your sake. He’s already in this state. There’s no point talking to him.“And he might just be stalling us on purpose.

The subordinate knew Edwin’s temper all too well.Sure enough, in the very next second, Edwin lifted the knife without hesitation and drove it toward the doctor’s throat.“Help! Please, spare me!”The doctor cried out.At that, Edwin stopped just in time—the blade hovered a hair’s breadth from the man’s neck.“Oh?”His careless tone pulled the doctor back from the edge.A moment ago, he had thought he was truly about to die.Now, everything had changed.“So you’re not insane after all.”There was unmistakable mockery in Edwin’s voice.Even the doctor could hear it clearly.“I’m sorry, sir… I was just scared.”“Scared of what?”Edwin tilted his head slightly as he asked, the knife still suspended at the doctor’s throat.It was obvious that he had no intention of letting him go.The doctor had been far too disobedient, easily the most troublesome subordinate he had dealt with.Everyone else obeyed him without question, treated him with absolute respect.He had never encountered a situati

He acted on impulse, one thought chasing the next, his behavior always unpredictable.There was no pattern to anything he did; he simply did as he pleased. In that sense, he was the most unrestrained man in the family.At times, Lucas almost envied that.Of course, it was nothing he would ever show.After all, Edwin was still nothing more than an aimless drifter.He never considered anyone else when he acted.Everything was done on a whim.It wasn’t the kind of life Lucas wanted. What he envied was that careless ease.The doctor, pinned by the grip on his jaw, froze for a moment, unable to react.Edwin stared at him coldly.“I believe you’re a reasonable man. Do I really have to spell everything out for you?“Just tell me the truth. Why hide it?”His voice turned sharp. “Don’t tell me you think keeping your mouth shut for Lucas will somehow keep you safe.”That made even the doctor hesitate.“That’s not it… I don’t understand what you mean.”His words came out slurred, saliva nearly sp

For some reason, a faint unease lingered in Edwin’s chest.It felt as though someone was watching him.And why had the doctor suddenly spilled everything so quickly?By the time Edwin tried to stop him, it was already too late.On Lucas’ end, he had already captured everything he needed.There was no reason to stay and watch any longer.All he had to do was present it to his grandfather the next day.Even if Philip favored Edwin, the evidence would speak for itself.Staying any longer would only risk exposure.Now wasn’t the time to tear things open between them.Lucas knew exactly where the line was.So, while Edwin’s attention remained fixed on the doctor, he slipped away silently, leaving the place without a trace.The subordinate, however, felt something was off.He turned his head to look but saw nothing.Frowning, he scratched his head. Had he imagined it?When he turned back, Edwin was still pressing the doctor.It was clear his boss had already made up his mind; there was nothi

He could already imagine what came after.If this was what it meant to stay alive, then death might have been the kinder option.Edwin had no intention of granting him that.This was meant to humiliate him.What followed wouldn’t be any easier.The doctor could already see it—there would be no peace left for him.The only regret was that he hadn’t earned enough for his family, hadn’t even left them a final word.And Edwin would never let him go.No matter how much it weighed on him, he had no choice but to accept what was coming.His jaw hung dislocated, leaving him unable to speak.After Edwin left, the doctor turned pleading eyes toward the subordinate.They were both working for the same man—surely that counted for something.Edwin was a tyrant. Anyone could see that.They stood on the same side… didn’t that mean something?If the doctor could speak, he would have told him this—if he didn’t resist now, then what was happening today would be his tomorrow.Sooner or later, it would be
