William was on the floor, supporting himself on his hands as he retreated on the cement floor.
It took everything within Rowan to hold back his urge to kill him.
“W-What do you want?” William’s voice was shaky. “Rowan Irwin… lynching is illegal!”
“Lynching?” Rowan snickered. “You’re not worth my effort! Hah, even if I do that, I’m breaking Centrolis’ law, but
I’m from Southeast Aciatic!”
“You…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Jenner!” Rowan gritted each word through his teeth. “This is not some lynching. On the contrary,
I’ve heard that you’ve not been feeling well after going bankrupt and often feel dizzy and have high blood
pressure… I’m here specifically to treat you!”

resentment. There was never a moment like now where he hoped to use everything he had learned to kill
someone.
His hands had cured the injured and saved the dead. They had given countless people hope. At this moment,
though, he was turning into a devil from an angel.
Despite that, he would rather become a devil if that meant the people he loved would not suffer again.
“N-No!” William was terrified. “You can’t!”
With a blank face, Rowan yanked him up by his collar and stabbed a needle right in his neck!
The acupuncture point was not lethal, but it was agonizing. The pain seeped slowly, like poison, corroding whatever
little willpower William had.
William’s face contorted, and his cries resonated in the basement.
Rowan focused on the acupuncture points and landed one needle after another. They vented his rage and made up
years of what he owed Xyla.
The needles were on William’s neck and spine, where nerves were concentrated on. The extreme pain gradually
made him delusional, and he struggled as he guffawed.
“Hahaha… Rowan Irwin!” William’s gaze was dazed, and he eventually lost his mind. “Even if you torture me and kill
me, Xyla Irwin won’t be what she was in the past!”
Rowan’s hands jolted.
“I made her my plaything a long time ago!” William was no longer sane. “I’ve had my share of fun with her!
Haha…”
“I don’t care.” Rowan choked him on the neck with reddened eyes.

“You don’t care? Don’t f*cking act like you’re noble! Haha… Which man wouldn’t care about this? You say that, but
you mind it! Even if you end up together with her, this will forever be a knot keeping you apart…”
“I said I don’t care. Can you not understand!?” Rowan threw him off.
William was thrown to the wall and fell with a thud.
Rowan stepped on his face and ground down on it. “William Jenner, Xyla’s clean. The filthy one is you! All the sh*t
you did will only make my heart ache for her more!
“I won’t send you to hell just like this. This would be too nice.”
Rowan looked down at him and pulled out the last needle with a sinister smirk.
“What… What are you doing? Ahh…”
The needle went deep into the top of William’s head.
Shortly, his eyes rolled back, and he convulsed on the floor, foaming at his mouth.
From now on, William was done for. He could not move but had conscious awareness. All his nerves would be in
pain all the time, not violently so but like worms in his bones—permanent and insufferable.
