Chapter 706 Bring on the punishment

Chapter 706 Bring on the punishment

Earny had just said some brave words, and the thing was, the other workers who were standing by the side didn't even know how brave they were. In the first place, none of them had stolen any crystals, yet he had still decided to step forward and take the blame.

Why? The answer was simple. It was because of the bickering between the group. Earny, as he stepped forward, turned to those who were from his room.

"Come on, guys. Let's not argue amongst ourselves. We spent a good time together, sharing food, right?" Earny said as he stopped, around two meters ahead of everyone else, standing straight. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"No way," one of the older men said. "There is no chance that Earny was the one who hid those crystals. I would bet my right testicle on it!"

"Specifically the right one. What's better about the right one compared to the left one?" Gary mumbled.

"Of course, Earny didn't do it," another said. "He understands the rules better than anyone, and there have been a few times..."

The man stopped speaking there because he wasn't too sure what he was about to say would get the rest of them in trouble. But there were a few times when some of the men in the room were tempted to take stuff from the factory, and the one who stopped them was Earny.

That was why all of them strongly believed that Earny was taking the blame for someone else. The most obvious choice was that it was the newcomers' doing, and they couldn't help but give a death stare to the two of them. That was until they heard Earny's words.

They remembered just yesterday how much fun they were having with them. There was no worry. They were all just humans sharing food and stories together, and now they were put in this situation where they had to go against each other.

Dazza smiled and held out his hand. One of the men had run off somewhere and soon returned with a box in his hand. The box was relatively long and placed on the floor in front of Dazza.

"Alright, it seems like it's been a while since you guys have received your punishment, and you know things aren't exactly normal around here," Dazza explained. "Usually, the punishment would be done in private, but to make sure that you guys know what happens to you if you dare try to steal something from us again, I will be commencing the punishment right here and now."

Using his feet, Dazza kicked the top of the box open, and then reached in and pulled out a large black whip. It looked brand new, it was impressive, but not as impressive as a certain whip Gary had seen someone else use.

"Ten lashes. If you can survive ten lashes without falling to the ground, then we will see your debt as cleared," Dazza smiled.

Just from the smile alone, Elijah could tell what type of person Dazza was. He had seen many of them. There were those that got a rise out of doing things like this. When a person could control one's life with ease, get them to do whatever they wished, they felt unstoppable and powerful, and they wanted to constantly push the boundaries and just see how far they could go.

"Ten whips, will Earny be okay?" one of the men asked.

Even Earny himself looked concerned. Perhaps if he was in good condition and hadn't been hungry for the last few days, he would have been brave enough to take on the whips. But in his current condition, and depending on how hard Dazza went, this punishment had the possibility of being fatal.

If one person were to take a look at the two of them, it was hard to tell which one was being punished.

"Come on... just 12 more!" Gary shouted, having counted each hit.

"Alright, you fool!" Dazza shouted, swinging it again. The loud bang followed, but it was nowhere near as loud as the first one. One could tell he was weak, and Dazza could see that Gary would not fall.

Which was why his eyes had fallen on an older man next to

him. 'I may not be able to do anything to you, but I still have ten whips to give to someone else!' Dazza swung the whip once more.

Hearing it, Gary somewhat braced himself like he had done the time before. But as the loud sound went off, he didn't feel anything on his back.

"ARGHHH!"

A loud scream was heard to his right. Looking, Gary could see blood flying up in the air. The whip had hit Earny right across the chest, and he was falling back.

'That... Bastard!' Gary turned his head. He was unable to control his anger, as his eyes had already somewhat changed.

Dazza, ignoring this, swung the whip again, aiming to hit Earny. It went through the air.

Elijah had run forward, catching Earny before he fell on his back. And that's when he saw right in front of him, Gary standing there with a whip held in his hand.

"I'm sorry, Earny," Gary said. "I wanted to do well. I didn't want anyone to get hurt, and yet you still did... It's clear I need to do something about this place."
