âAh!â Nathaniel cried out in pain before covering his head with his hands as blood immediately trickled out from his fingertips.Upon seeing Nathanielâs bloodied face, the other protestors were all terrified and dared not protest any further.While holding his metal rod in one hand, the man grabbed Nathaniel with his other hand and said, âNow, tell me in front of everyone if you still dare to demand thirty-thousand dollars.âNathaniel refused to give in after he was humiliated that way, so he fought through his immense pain and said, âWhy wonât I dare? Even if you were to beat me to death today, I will never change my mind!âThe man let go of Nathanielâs collar and scoffed as he said, âWell, since you want to die, then allow me to grant you your wish!âSo, he waved his metal rod around and pointed at everyone as he said, âWatch closely everyone. His fate is a result of his greed. I will send him to his maker later.
It wonât be necessary for him to be sent to a hospital, Instead, he can use the money for his funeral!âAfter that, he raised the metal rod and was getting ready to strike Nathaniel.When the other protestors noticed that the man was being serious, they began to tremble in fear. However, a few bold people were brave enough to tell Nathaniel to stop.âHey Nathaniel, letâs just forget about the money, okay?ââLook, we arenât even armed, so how could we possibly fight back? Although we are right, society is often cruel to us. Our lives are more important!ââThatâs right Nathaniel, your son has just bought you a mansion, so you should just enjoy life. There is no reason for you to fight for us. We wonât be able to explain what happened to your wife and son if anything were to happen to you.â âLetâs just accept ten-thousand dollars, Nathaniel.âHowever, before Nathaniel could say anything, the man scoffed at the crowd and said, âAccept it? Why didnât he accept sooner? You know, I will not lay down thai rod once it has been raised!âHe glared at Nathaniel and yelled, âHey you old coot, werenât you all so powerful earlier? Did you think that I was joking with you? Let me tell you this, you will have to die today! Come on now, itâs just going to be another round of compensation anyway? Youâre already this old and wonât cost us that much money anyway!ââThatâs right boss! Letâs show these people what will happen to them if they donât listen to you!â A ruffian exclaimed while the others were laughing at Nathanielâs fate..They knew that the man intended to make an example out of Nathaniel to force the protestors to back down.If they could sacrifice an old man for a measly couple hundred thousand dollars, it would be a lot better than compensating the other protestors with the full amount.The man felt even more motivated after hearing his goonsâ laughter as he raised the metal rod before swiftly lowering it on Nathanielâs head.That strike earlier was nothing more than a warning to Nathaniel.
However, since he was determined to take Nathanielâs life, he decided to hit him with all his might. If the metal rod landed on Nathanielâs head, he would no doubt perish.The other protestors were terrified when the rod was raised as all of them were bracing themselves for an impending tragedy.Suddenly, a dark silhouette flashed through the crowd before grabbing the metal rod as a menacing voice announced, âYou! Are! Dead!â
