In David Kingston's world of justice, everyone was subjected to a single code.
This almighty code is loyalty.
It is either you're loyal or you face dreadful retribution. There is no room for sympathy or forgiveness.
Getting yourself killed or nearly escaping death, was never a guarantee for the safety of your family.
If you get killed by an enemy, your family will be annihilated as retribution. If you narrowly escape death, you will be tortured and killed, but your family will be spared.
Hence, it was better to stay alive and never get caught off guard by an enemy.
This was the dilemma of the sixth general as he trembled under David's intense and devilish gaze.
He almost passed out from horror as he read the terrifying meaning behind David's statement. He was aware and had seen pictures of what David did to the families of the dead seventh general.
