The mammies did not know what was going on in Yu Dong’s head but they followed her orders without any question. Once they were finished pouring the liquid inside the mouths of Mother Sun and Sun Ah Cy, they all turned to look at Yu Dong and so did the villagers.
They all were waiting for Yu Dong to speak.
" Bring them as a gift to the madam of the theatre, she was worrying about her sons getting widowed. I am sure that she will appreciate my kind gesture and don’t forget to bring the money back as it will be used to rebuild the village," Yu Dong announced her judgement causing the villagers to suck in a collective breath.
Though the punishment seemed light they all knew that it was far from it!

" The Madam of the theatre, isn’t that Madam Liu? I heard that her eldest son is a ruthless mer who was raised by his father who lived among the barbarians. He weighs more than two hundred pounds and eats at least three to four lambs every day... I heard that his first wife died after she was tormented by him." One of the villagers exclaimed.
" Tormented?" One of the mers rolled his eyes as he lowered his voice conspiratorially and then said, " I once went to the town. Though I did not see the Madam of the theatre and her sons I did once meet with a mer server who worked in her house. From what that mer said, it was highly likely that the first wife was eaten by the son as she couldn’t feed him!"
" That is still a bit better," chimed in another mer with a mysterious expression as he looked at the rest and then sighed heavily, " The second son of the theatre owner is ten steps ahead of his brother. He is so ruthless that I heard that he once fed his first and second wive poisons mixed together.
They both died an awful death—— he was however able to escape as his mother purchased those two women and made them her household daughters-in-law."
She then turned to look at the mercenaries.
" Did you all see what I did to those women?" She asked the mercenaries. Though the mercenaries did not know why Yu Dong was asking them this, they still nodded.
" Yes, we did see it."
" Then it’s better if you all stay obedient and listen to me. I am warning you all that if you dared to play tricks on me then I would not mind selling you all one by one. After all, there is no lack of buyers for mers or women. You might already know that you have been poisoned by me if you try to leave without permission then you can all wait to die."
" You..." the mercenary leader looked at Yu Dong with a glare. They were ruthless killers when had they followed after someone like dogs? But as soon as she glared at Yu Dong, a sharp pain suddenly erupted in her neck as she clenched her neck and groaned while rolling on the ground and crying in pain.
The pain was so bad that she wished that she could die as soon as possible.
The other mercenaries all looked at their leader and then turned to look at Yu Dong who smiled at them as she said, " I will be your boss from now on. You will have to listen to me and don’t even think about acting like a boss with me. If you do then I will make you suffer in such a way that you will beg me for death."
No sooner did she finish speaking the leader on the ground groaned, " Let me g..go! Just kill me! I can... I am willing to die!"
The scream reverberated with so much pain that the mercenaries all trembled in terror.
" So, do you understand?"
