"What if…", Ko Gunwen with some struggle as he felt pressure from his father's foot on the back of his head, painfully pressing his forehead into the floor, but no longer coughing or gasping for breaths, "... I won't rely on you any longer, not take anything from you?"
This caused the three other brothers to start cursing inside as they all wished for him to just shut up and obey, while Ko Zhumen showed more surprise, taking his foot off from his son's head, and crouching down to look him in the eyes as the latter slowly rose to all fours but was stopped from rising further by his father's hand landing on his shoulder.
"And that supposedly frees you up from obeying me?", Ko Zhumen seemed to be driven by curiosity that held back the more violent response, "How do you imagine that? That I'd just consider everything I gave you so far a waste and write it off, and let you go do whatever you want and live however you like? Do I look that charitable to you?"
