"Ten seconds are up," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Ah! No, please! Big brother, no! Master, I was wrong! I really was wrong, please let me off like it's nothing!" Zheng Guoxiong begged with snot and tears.
"I seem to recall someone just said that they would rather die than surrender. Wasn't that you?" Zhang Xiaohao said teasingly.
"Master, you must have heard wrong. I am just a dog, a lowly dog! Please don't stoop to my level and lower your status.
"Heh," Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
Thump! Thump! Thump…
Seeing Zhang Xiaohao's demeanor, Zheng Guoxiong panicked.
Enduring the searing pain, he got up, knelt in front of Zhang Xiaohao, and began knocking his head on the ground vigorously.
While knocking his head, he begged, "Master, I was wrong, I really was wrong! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a newborn baby at home, they both depend on me for their livelihood. You must not kill me! Otherwise, it would be the end for all three of us!"
"What else?" Zhang Xiaohao mocked.
