It seemed the young man believed the middle-aged man had enough time to react, and continued speaking: "I initially thought you were someone willing to take responsibility and do a good job. I planned to promote you to be my deputy after the task was completed, but I didn't expect..."
"Alas!"
The young man sighed heavily, like he was disappointed, and said: "However, in reality, you betrayed my trust, so according to the rules, I have no choice but to punish you!"
These agonizing words fell upon his ears, and the middle-aged man's body felt frozen, barely able to move, yet the rage in his eyes burned fiercely, ready to break free and confront the young man.
However, no matter how much rage coursed through him, even as heat engulfed his organs and his blood began to boil, he still couldn't utter a single word.
The next moment, the young man sighed again and said: "You should go and train in purgatory for a while."
