Chapter 199 The Full Picture.
Spiked Tongue shook his head. "She won't be coming here soon. We couldn't allow her to come here straightaway or she won't let any of us go. We told her the wrong time and place."
"The place we told her is not far from here. It is just outside of the city. The time we told her will be in a few minutes. Our job is to delay you until then. Then we will agree to be your subordinates and be on our way."

Kelvin was genuinely impressed. He said, "You guys will escape through the back, but I'll be oblivious and continue on my way to the city. That will make me encounter her, and he dealt with it."
He smiled and looked at all of them as he said, "You guys are not half bad."
Spiked Tongue was tempted to stop there and let Boss Dollar get only half of the picture. But Smite finally managed to stand up. His miserable appearance spurred Spiked Tongue on.
He said, "That's only part of it. While we escape, we will get in touch with Fire Rose and give her your updated location so that she can come and pick you up."
"That's not all. It is a must that you fight in this city because we have rigged it with bombs. Fire Rose is known for her environmental and collateral damage. It is likely that she will set off the bombs with her fire."
"If she doesn't set it off, we will set off the bombs for her from a safe distance and bury the two of you together in the city. That way we will get rid of you and Fire Rose. We will be able to get the reward for her head on the bounty list."
Kelvin began to clap. "Talk about killing two stones with one bird. I am impressed."
He said he was impressed with them, but the bosses didn't dare to be happy. It is because they have seen this move several times.
A boss would say he is impressed with something their subordinate did. Then the boss will punish or kill the subordinate.
They wanted to run, but they didn't dare to move. They could only wait anxiously as their hearts tried to beat out of their chest.
Kelvin stopped clapping. Then he said, "I am a little disappointed that I am just the bait in your plan, though. But I understand that you didn't have a choice in what you could work with. You had to use what you could use."
Spiked Tongue was relieved. He nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, boss. You're completely right."
Kelvin turned to Snake Eyes and said, "So you lied to me. You said there was nothing I could do to stop your plan."
He hadn't done anything yet, but Snake Eyes fell on his knees and began to cry. He bawled his eyes out, pleading for mercy.
He cried out, "Please, spare me. I'll do anything you want from now on. I will owe you my life and everything I own."
He was a grown man surrounded by his peers and subordinates, but he didn't care about what they would think of him anymore. He cried like a child and was willing to kiss the ground to show his sincerity.
He had already cared about his image earlier and let it lead him astray. Meanwhile, Spiked Tongue had gone off like a leaking tank. Spiked Tongue became a snitch and was praised for it.
He became the example that was used to make the rest fall in line. He couldn't allow that to continue.
Kelvin also understood his plight. He said, "No need to worry. I won't punish you. Not only did you show great character, you also volunteered to help me teach the rest as an example. I like that kind of dedication to work in a subordinate."
Snot and tears were all over his face, but his face still lit up with delight when he heard that he had been pardoned.
He wiped away the snot on his face and thanked Kelvin profusely, "Thank you, boss. You're a great boss. I am your loyal subordinate from today onwards. I will crawl through a sea of fire to do your bidding. I will fight a thousand..."
Kelvin interrupted him, "Yes, yes. I have your undying loyalty. I know. But talk is cheap. I will have to see actions."
Then he said to all of them, "All of you should listen and listen well. I don't want to repeat myself, and I don't want you to give me the excuse that you didn't hear me clearly when I want to punish you in the future. So listen attentively."
"I don't have many rules. My first and most important rule is that you make a lot of money and give me half of it."
"That means you must expand your business, and you must not cheat me of my 50%. I can still forgive you if business is a little slow, but cheating me will lead to situations where you would plead for death or be replaced."
"I already like you guys seeing as we get along so well. I don't want to replace you. But I will come clean to you. As impossible as it might sound, I like torturing people and seeing them in pain."
He said it as if he had just unloaded a great secret. He even sighed in relief as if a great weight had been lifted off of him.
He said, "You heard me right. I like to torture people. I like to do so at the slightest opportunity. But I feel slight remorse after I enjoy someone's pain. I don't like that remorse. It makes me feel dirty and sick. So I want you to do me a favor. Don't give me the opportunity to have you tortured, alright?"
They nodded enthusiastically like meek children. "Yes, boss. We won't give you any opportunity. We'll be good."
"We will be very obedient and do everything you tell us to do without fail."
