"You ungrateful whores. You were born because of me and you refuse to obey me?" Elrod’s angry voice echoed through the prison cell.
"It would be better if we were not born," one of them spat out.
Elrod simply glared at them knowing nothing would change while Aaron spoke to the girls, "As a reward for making the right decision for your brother, you four can leave. You are free."
The four looked at him in shock but then the soldier came to them to take them away, signaling it was the time for them to leave. They thought they would be killed, but this man had spared them.
Once they left, Aaron turned back to Elrod, "After you and your son are punished, you know what I am going to do? I am going to give all of your wealth to those four whores, to let them spend every single dime of it and enjoy their life while they spit on your grave. Oh wait, you won’t be having any grave. I will make sure your bodies rot somewhere and scavengers feed on them."
Elrod clenched his fists, "Do whatever you want with me, but let my son go. He has nothing to do with what I did in the past, he is innocent."
In response, Aaron laughed, "I didn’t expect you to give up on your arrogance so soon? I must say, this is not enough begging for your son’s precious life. But let me ask what your son wants." Aaron stepped out of the cell and went to Elrod’s son, Zymer, who was struggling to free himself while his mouth was shut.
"Stop struggling already. You are not going anywhere from here," Aaron stood in front of him, towering over him like a devil in hell. Zymer stopped and the soldier uncovered his mouth only to hear him say, "I did nothing wrong to you. Let me go." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"You did nothing wrong to me, but your father did," Aaron replied, "And as his son, you have to pay for it as well."
"You let go of those whores even if they are my father’s daughter," Zymer countered.
"They denied being your father’s daughters or your sisters."
"I...I am not his son either," Zymer spat out, "That man is not my father. I don’t know him."
As if what he wanted, Aaron scoffed and turned to look at Elord, "He says he is not your son. Did someone fuck your wife while you were fucking the whores out there? That would be truly epic."
Elrod looked at his son, who looked like he would even sell his mother to save his own ass, but as a father, Elord didn’t mind it if it could save his son.
"He is not my son," Elrod spoke, inside his heart breaking at thought of it.
"See, you heard him," Zymer spoke in delight, "He is not my father. Useless, ugly man like him can never be my father."
Aaron let out a mocking chuckle at Elord, "You must be delighted to see first your daughters abandoned you and now your son."
Elrod only kept quiet while Zymer spoke. "He already said I am not his son either. Now let me go."
