"Have you already regretted your mistakes?"
"Since the first day, father."
"I know when you're lying, Xu Wang, I don't recommend doing it."
"I beg your forgiveness, I failed."
"Stop with this nonsense!" the man retorted. "Don't ask for forgiveness, don't apologize! Can't you understand that this weakness of yours is your biggest problem!?"
Xu fell silent as the man's yelling echoed throughout the dungeon.
"I didn't invest so much time in a weakling who whines about his disappointments, I want the truth, nothing more."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Stop thinking about what I want! That's not how I raised you, you have this family's blood, don't dishonor me this way!" he replied. "I'll ask you again, do you regret your mistakes?"
"No..."
"Louder!"
