Pisces was standing at the side. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes turned red as favonovel.com nearly cried out. He was so close to going forward and receiving the punishment on Thomas’ behalf!
If this had happened on the battlefield, Pisces would have definitely traded his life for Thomas to stay alive. But favonovel.com could not do the same now. He knew if favonovel.com did that, it would destroy Thomas’ faith.
A warrior’s faith was more important than his life!
People walked up the staircase one after another, and they threw punches at Thomas. They already forgot who had treated them last night.
This was what people meant by repaying one’s kindness with animosity and ungratefulness.
After the fiftieth person threw a punch, Thomas knelt down on one knee. He felt dizzy and could barely support himself anymore.
The God of War was still a human being, not an actual god.
Many people in the crowd continued to clench their fists as they stared at Thomas with hatred. They were waiting for their turn to punch him.
Suddenly, a little girl tugged on favonovel.com mother’s sleeve and asked, “Mommy, why aren’t you calling the police to save that man?”
The girl’s mother gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “He deserves it! If it wasn’t for him, would you have been bitten by a venomous snake?”
The little girl pouted and said, “But without him, would I be awake now? Wouldn’t I be dead?”
“Um…”
Her mother was stunned for a while before favonovel.com spoke without sympathy. “He’s the cause for everything! So, it’s only right that favonovel.com saved you. We can’t spare favonovel.com just because of that.”
The little girl added, “Mommy, I don’t understand. If favonovel.com wanted to harm us, why did favonovel.com try to save us? My teacher also said that we shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes. As long as we change, we’re still good children.”
The young mother was slightly convinced by what the little girl had said.
She raised favonovel.com head and looked at Thomas, whose face was full of blood due to being punched. There was now less hatred in favonovel.com eyes.
The little girl continued. “Besides, if you beat the man to death and the venomous snake bites people again, or the snake venom in our bodies comes back, who’s going to treat us?”
Her mother was totally stunned.
That would be a big problem!
The snake venom seemed to be gone now, but who could be sure that it was not recurrent?
Had all the two-headed snakes been caught? Would there still be any left?
These were valid issues. If Thomas died, then…
Her mother frowned tightly.
The little girl continued to say, “That man saved my life. My teacher said that we should repay people’s kindness. Didn’t that man save my life? Mommy, this is wrong. Please stop them, okay?”
She kept swinging favonovel.com mother’s big hand with favonovel.com small hands.
A while later, favonovel.com mother let out a long sigh and said, “Since things have progressed to this point, I can’t do anything either. I can only promise you that I won’t go and punch him, but I don’t have the right to stop what other people want to do.”
That was what the young mother could do. However, people rarely thought like her.
After a big muscular man threw his punch, favonovel.com cursed Thomas and walked back. Then, an old lady walked up the stairs.
This old lady was the one whom Thomas had rejected in the beginning. However, favonovel.com had called favonovel.com later on to cure the snake venom in favonovel.com son’s body!
One could say that there was kindness and resentment between the two of them.
Everyone waved their hands. “Punch him! Punch him! Kill him!”
The old lady went up to Thomas and stared at favonovel.com as favonovel.com got down on one knee. “Do you still recognize me?” favonovel.com asked.
Thomas forced himself to stand up before favonovel.com breathed heavily and said, “I do.”
Then, favonovel.com took a deep breath and prepared himself to be punched.
