[Old Bennet Residence]
"Grandpa! Please! Don't do this to me!" Sven begged on his knees, hugging his grandfather's leg while the old man sat in the wing chair. He shook his head, tears welling in his eyes. "Grandpa, I've done many things for you! I swear it's not me! Atlas and Penny did this to me on purpose!"
Chairman Bennet's face soured as he gazed down at his grandchild, who wept at his feet like a clown. "You good-for-nothing bastard!" he roared, lifting his cane to push Sven away. "Don't you have any dignity left?! How can you beg like this as a man, huh?!"
"Grandpa!" Sven was pushed aside, but he quickly crawled back to the chairman. However, this time, Chairman Bennet launched a kick at his chest.
Sven's breath hitched, his heart stopping for a moment from the impact. After a second, he coughed, his hand pressed against his chest.
