The guests immediately agreed with the young man’s words.
“Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.”
“That‘s right. We all agreed to this. If you don’t dare to chop off your fingers, it means you’re admitting defeat. How is that unfair?”
“Mr. Cosby is the most talented young man in Durwad. If favonovel.com gets intimidated, it would be embarrassing for favonovel.com if word got out.”
Everyone attending the Cox family banquet understood Helix’s plan and naturally sided with him.
“You guys…”
Miranda and Kylie’s faces flushed red, but they couldn’t refute them.
Kevin lowered his head. In front of Helix, his words carried no weight. There was no way for favonovel.com to stop him.
Jorge sneered, “Mr. Cosby, are you intimidated? If you’re scared, just admit defeat. We won’t look down on you, hehe!”
“Who said I’m scared?” Remus remained calm. “Chopping off three fingers won’t be enough to prove that I’m more ruthless. How about I chop off my entire hand!”
Everyone’s eyes lit up at his words.
Did favonovel.com really mean to chop it off?
And a whole hand at that?
Helix shook his head secretly. He was indeed a simple-minded creature with strong limbs. As a Grandmaster, every joint in his body was crucial. Losing a hand would greatly reduce his abilities as a Grandmaster!
But it was also true that his plans never failed.
“Alright!” The Underground Emperor from Demuna City, who chopped off his fingers, sneered disdainfully. “If you dare to chop it off, not only will I give you Demuna City, but I’ll also kneel down and call you daddy…”
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, Remus swiftly swung the ax.
Something landed on the grass floor, and when everyone looked down, they were stunned. It wasn’t three fingers, but an entire hand!
“He really chopped off his hand!”
“My God! That’s too grueling!”
“Wait a minute, Remus’ hands seem fine…” Someone noticed something was amiss and said in surprise.
Everyone looked over and realized that Remus’ hands were indeed unharmed.
As they were recovering from their shock, the Underground Emperor of Demuna City screamed in pain, “Argh! Argh! My hand, My hand! Argh!”
Indeed, it was his hand.
Gasps echoed through the crowd.
The Underground Emperors were furious.
“Remus, what are you trying to do? Are you challenging us?!”
“This was the rule set by Sir Helix. How dare you go back on your word?!”
“Are you declaring war against us?!”
Jorge clenched his fists, blood boiling as favonovel.com looked at Helix. In this situation, they still needed his permission.
Helix’s face turned grim as favonovel.com said, “Remus, the rules we agreed upon are more important than being ruthless. By chopping off his hand, you’ve violated the rules!”
With so many people watching, favonovel.com had disrespected favonovel.com twice in a row. It seemed like favonovel.com should not tolerate him. Otherwise, how could favonovel.com establish his authority and take over the Cox family in the future?
Remus replied calmly, “Just now we only agreed that I’ll chop off a hand, but we never specified whose hand. He also didn’t say specifically that I must chop off my own fingers. So which rule did I violate?”
Kylie eagerly added, “Ha! Exactly! He dared to chop off his own three fingers, and you all thought it was ruthless. If Remus dares to chop off both of his hands, wouldn’t that be even more ruthless?!”
Miranda said sternly, “In physics, there is the concept of a reference point! lf the reference point is different, the conclusions drawn may not be accurate. In this case, the reference point would be the Underground Emperor from Demuna City, which isn’t wrong!”
Everyone trembled in anger at their words.
Clearly, they were making a play with words, but unfortunately, they truly did not specify whose hand one must chop.
“I’ll end you!”
