“Ah!” Nathaniel cried out in pain before covering his head with his hands as blood immediately trickled
out from his fingertips.
Upon seeing Nathaniel’s bloodied face, the other protestors were all terrified and dared not protest any
further.
While holding his metal rod in one hand, the man grabbed Nathaniel with his other hand and said,
“Now, tell me in front of everyone if you still dare to demand thirty-thousand dollars.”
Nathaniel refused to give in after he was humiliated that way, so he fought through his immense pain
and said, “Why won’t I dare? Even if you were to beat me to death today, I will never change my mind!”
The man let go of Nathaniel’s collar and scoffed as he said, “Well, since you want to die, then allow me
to grant you your wish!”

fate is a result of his greed. I will send him to his maker later. It won’t be necessary for him to be sent to
a hospital, Instead, he can use the money for his funeral!”
After that, he raised the metal rod and was getting ready to strike Nathaniel.
When the other protestors noticed that the man was being serious, they began to tremble in fear.
However, a few bold people were brave enough to tell Nathaniel to stop.
“Hey Nathaniel, let’s just forget about the money, okay?”
“Look, we aren’t even armed, so how could we possibly fight back? Although we are right, society is
often cruel to us. Our lives are more important!”
“That’s right Nathaniel, your son has just bought you a mansion, so you should just enjoy life. There is
no reason for you to fight for us. We won’t be able to explain what happened to your wife and son if
anything were to happen to you.”
“Let’s just accept ten-thousand dollars, Nathaniel.”
However, before Nathaniel could say anything, the man scoffed at the crowd and said, “Accept it? Why
didn’t he accept sooner? You know, I will not lay down thai rod once it has been raised!”
He glared at Nathaniel and yelled, “Hey you old coot, weren’t you all so powerful earlier? Did you think
that I was joking with you? Let me tell you this, you will have to die today! Come on now, it’s just going
to be another round of compensation anyway? You’re already this old and won’t cost us that much
money anyway!”
“That’s right boss! Let’s show these people what will happen to them if they don’t listen to you!” A
ruffian exclaimed while the others were laughing at Nathaniel’s fate..
They knew that the man intended to make an example out of Nathaniel to force the protestors to back

If they could sacrifice an old man for a measly couple hundred thousand dollars, it would be a lot better
than compensating the other protestors with the full amount.
The man felt even more motivated after hearing his goons’ laughter as he raised the metal rod before
swiftly lowering it on Nathaniel’s head.
That strike earlier was nothing more than a warning to Nathaniel. However, since he was determined to
take Nathaniel’s life, he decided to hit him with all his might. If the metal rod landed on Nathaniel’s
head, he would no doubt perish.
The other protestors were terrified when the rod was raised as all of them were bracing themselves for
an impending tragedy.
Suddenly, a dark silhouette flashed through the crowd before grabbing the metal rod as a menacing
voice announced, “You! Are! Dead!”
