Chapter 736 A Terrifying Punishment
It was as Gale had said, Thomas knew full well how cruel King were toward those who failed him.
Trembling in fear, Thomas shook his head vehemently. “Mr. Gale, don’t, please don’t. I’m sure the years I
spent working for King must at least mean something. I beg of you. Please let the matter slide just this
once.”
Yara, too, was terrified by the scene.
In contrast to the father and daughter, Gale had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. As he strode up to
Thomas, he grabbed the latter’s left hand and pinned it on the table. Subsequently, he pulled out an
electric knife from his shoe.
With a flip of a switch, the blade of the electric knife began to spin.
“Mr. Gale, no, please don’t.” By then, Thomas’ face had lost all color while his pupils dilated from the
fear.

struggling hand was severed, warm blood spew out uncontrollably from the wound.
“Argh!”
Thomas’ agonizing scream caused Yara to slump to the ground with her heart pounding furiously.
Despite having taken countless lives with her own hands, she had never seen such a gruesome sight
before. When she saw fresh blood everywhere, her mind drew nothing but a blank.
After kicking aside the twitching hand, Gale took out a pill from his pocket, grabbed Thomas by his
cheeks, and shoved it in his mouth.
“Swallow it. After you do so, you’ll still survive without your left hand.” Gale casually remarked, “Don’t
accuse me of not pleading for mercy on your behalf, for you might have lost your other hand instead.
Also, the pill is given to you on the account of your long service.”
Thomas was in so much pain that his face contorted in a bunch.
Glaring at the man who cut off his hand, Thomas felt the urge to tear him apart. However, his desire for
survival forced him to disregard his pride and quickly swallow the pill with the help of his saliva.
The pain Thomas suffered was so overwhelming that he didn’t even have the strength to whimper.
After feeding Thomas the pill, Gale left him at the side before turning his attention to Yara. “Now that your
father has received his punishment, Ms. Nichols, it’s your turn now.”
Shaking her head, Yara pleaded with her trembling lips, “No, King, please give me one more chance. I
beg of you, please give me one more chance!”
Walking up to Yara, Gale turned on the electric knife.
However, he pointed it at Yara’s face instead of her hand. “The organization gives women a discount by
only disfiguring half of the face and leaving the limbs intact.”
“No, No…”
“Failures do not deserve mercy,” Gale snapped as he gradually moved his electric knife closer to Yara’s
face.
A split second before he carved her face, King’s voice rang out from the phone.

“What?” Despite hearing King’s instructions, Gale couldn’t believe his ears.
“I told you to stop!”
Gale asked in disbelief, “Doesn’t the organization’s rules state—”
“Are you doubting my decision?” After a brief pause, King added, “She looks exactly like Natalie, which
will be of use one day. It’s enough to have struck fear into her. Your job is now done.”
Even though Gale was dissatisfied with the order, he didn’t dare disobey King. Subsequently, he left after
keeping his knife.
At that moment, the Nichols residence fell silent all of a sudden.
The only sounds that could be heard were Thomas groaning in pain and Yara panting out of fear.
Despite her tear-stained face and bloodshot eyes, Yara’s hand wasn’t severed, unlike her father.
The only reason she managed to keep her life was that she had the same appearance as Natalie.
