Chapter 279: Chapter 68 Miracle_3
At that, Laine couldn’t help but smile a little.
“By doing so, I can also incidentally give my good child an opportunity to do something he has always wanted to do. Since he so desires to sit in another’s place, then let him try.”
Arbitrary punishment without teaching is considered cruel, and although Laine had a myriad of capricious reasons, he also had one to proceed by the book: because he wanted to.
Having said this offhandedly, Laine glanced at the old man.
“However, it seems you are not as detached as you claim to be; you still want to save more people. As long as I demonstrate my power, no matter what happens to those young individuals, more will invariably believe in my words.”
