The child who had been pushed forward was trembling uncontrollably. The pleading in her eyes made Captain Zhang's heart ache.
He had children of his own, and seeing a child suffer like this was like a knife to the heart.
Captain Zhang and his men faced Song Shengfu. The air grew tense and stagnant.
CLICK. The lighter in Song Shengfu's hand sparked to life. With his other hand, he hoisted the little girl up and pulled her in front of him.
"I said get out! All of you, get out!"
"If you don't get out, I'll burn her alive! I've got plenty of other students, anyway. I don't care if she lives or dies!"
Song Shengfu's face was full of ruthless determination as he backed away a few steps.
In the space of those two steps, he seemed to regain his composure.
He looked up at Captain Zhang and his men. In the flickering light of the lighter, the ruthless look on his face appeared even more twisted and grotesque.
