The Man's Decree novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 They Do Not Deserve It

“Don’t kill him so quickly, Mr. Lewis. You’ve got to torture him slowly!” Leyton cried out when he saw that Tommy had arrived.

“Are you teaching me what to do?”

Tommy’s brows knitted together, and he cut his gaze at the young man.

With that mere glance, Leyton was so terrified that he almost peed his pants. He hastily backed away while exclaiming, “No, no! Of course not…”

“How dare you speak to Mr. Lewis in such a manner, you b*stard?” Yoel stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face. Then, he flashed Tommy an apologetic smile and murmured, “My son didn’t know any better, so please don’t take offense at him, Mr. Lewis!”

“Let me tell you something, Yoel Scott. Indeed, I owe the Scott family a favor. However, I’m not a servant of your family! I hope you understand that!” Tommy warned in an icy voice.

“Yes, of course, I understand that! You’re an esteemed guest of the Scott family, Mr. Lewis! How could you possibly be a servant?”

Yoel was frightened to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat. He shot his son a glare.

Leyton had been hurting from his broken arm in the first place, so he presently hung his head low without daring to utter a single word after the slap.

Satisfied with Yoel’s attitude, Tommy shifted his gaze back to Jared.

“Mr. Lewis, it was only a moment of rashness on Mr. Chance’s part. The bride was his girlfriend, but Leyton stole her, so he was a tad resentful,” William explained with a cheery smile as he hurriedly moved forward.

“Oh, I see!” Tommy nodded, finally understanding why the seemingly ordinary man dared to kick up a fuss at the Scott family’s wedding. Ah, so it turns out that his girlfriend was stolen from him!

But in the next moment, something occurred to him. He abruptly froze and asked William, “What did you just call him?”

He didn’t bother asking the person in question, Jared, because the man was just a chess piece in his eyes. As such, Jared had to do whatever was demanded of him.

“Whatever you say, Mr. Lewis.”

Neither William nor Yoel dared to have any objections.

“Isn’t this simple? Why must you make a huge fanfare out of things? It’s as though it’s a matter of grave importance!” Tommy chuckled before turning his gaze on Jared. “Kid, I’ll let you off if you now cut off your arm and apologize after having caused trouble during the wedding and injuring someone’s son! Otherwise, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to leave this place alive!”

Jared glanced at Leyton, who was looking all smug, waiting for him to sever his arm and go over to apologize to him.

“They don’t deserve it,” he murmured placidly.
