Chapter 523: Chapter 519 Tom’s Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

Taotie was stunned, staring at Fang Xiaocao in disbelief.

Taotie never expected that his Princess would throw such a large scapegoat on him.

"Princess Your Highness, this scapegoat is too big, I really can’t bear it."

Sometimes Taotie really feels like calling the police.

But this is something Taotie can only say to himself; shouting it out would mean not just taking the blame for the Princess Your Highness, but also getting a good beating from Tom.

Most likely it would be a mixed doubles beatdown initiated by both Princess Your Highness and Tom.

And for a long time to come, he would be enjoying the little shoes that the Princess Your Highness specially custom-made for him.

How long he had to wear these little shoes depended on how long his Princess Your Highness held a grudge.

Although Taotie is a bit reckless, he knows the difference between a short-term discomfort and an infinite discomfort.

So Taotie chose to swallow his grievances and silently bear this massive scapegoat for the Princess Your Highness.

"Humph, it’s just a scapegoat, right?"

"I, Taotie, can carry it, nothing to worry about."

"Let the storm come fiercer!"

Taotie held his head with both hands and squatted on the ground, murmuring, "It’s true that I enticed Princess Your Highness to play, not taking you along, I’m willing to take the punishment, but there’s one condition: no hitting the face."

Taotie had also learned to give up completely.

Directly abandoning resistance, squatting down obediently to prepare for the beating.

Showing loyalty through actions, I, Taotie, am loyal to Princess Your Highness.

Taotie’s actions shocked Fang Xiaocao.

Originally, Fang Xiaocao thought Taotie would try to struggle a bit and not accept the scapegoat.

But surprisingly, Taotie didn’t even have the desire to struggle, and just willingly took on the scapegoat.

Suddenly, Fang Xiaocao felt a twinge of guilt towards Taotie.

Secretly swearing to himself to treat loyal Taotie better in the future and be more considerate when teasing him.

"Hehe—"

Seeing Taotie’s actions, given Tom’s cleverness, how could he not know what was going on?

But Taotie was destined to get a beating today.

After all, Tom was waiting here to catch Fang Xiaocao and Taotie, aiming to make an example of them.

As the saying goes, without rules, nothing can be accomplished, a force must establish rules.

Fang Xiaocao’s actions today were really dangerous; if an ill-intentioned person seized the opportunity, they could have plotted against Fang Xiaocao with unforeseeable consequences.

But Fang Xiaocao is the Princess Your Highness, the decision-maker of the force, an empress-like existence, even if she is wrong she cannot be openly punished, as it would harm the Princess Your Highness’s prestige.

Therefore, today’s incident could only result in punishing the person who accompanied the Princess Your Highness in her mischief, which was poor Taotie.

In other words, whether or not Taotie took the blame today, he had to become the example, being pushed out by Tom for a beating, to establish rules for others.

So that no one emulates Taotie, accompanying Fang Xiaocao in foul play amidst dangers, or even actively taking Fang Xiaocao out to play, leading to irreparable tragedies.

After all, everyone can imitate Taotie, but no one has Taotie’s level of strength.

If it were just Taotie occasionally taking Fang Xiaocao out, Tom wouldn’t be as worried, as he understands very well how strong Taotie’s combat power is.

Moreover, Fang Xiaocao’s strength isn’t weak either.

Not to mention the attack of some top-level masters, even if a super master made a move, in a one-on-one situation, Taotie could hold them off for a bit, giving Fang Xiaocao a chance to escape.

What Tom truly feared were those without Taotie’s strength wanting to emulate Taotie.

"Since you have nothing to argue about your mistakes, don’t blame me for serving family punishment."

Tom coldly untied his belt, ready to give Taotie a taste of "Seven Wolves."

Just like a father disciplining a son.

Taotie raised his head to glance at the Seven Wolves in Tom’s hand, sighing internally; "My fate is bitter, never had a father in my youth, didn’t know the taste of Seven Wolves, didn’t expect to fulfill this childhood regret thanks to a good friend, achieving a complete childhood experience."

Tom didn’t rush to beat, instead, he first took out his phone to call Mantis, having Mantis bring Unhappy over to watch. After all, it’s to make an example, how could there be no audience?

Two minutes later!

Mantis brought Unhappy to the front of room 501.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Mantis tactfully remained silent, staying close to Fang Xiaocao with Unhappy.

"Mantis!"

At this moment, Tom suddenly called out Mantis’s name.

"I’m here!"

Hearing Tom call for him, Mantis didn’t dare to hesitate, immediately responding.

"Come here, help me with the recording."

Taotie handed his phone to Mantis.

Mantis was a bit stunned, confused by the situation.

But he obediently took the phone and, following Tom’s instructions, served as the humble cameraman.

"Are you ready?"

Tom looked at Mantis.

"Ready."

Mantis nodded in response.

"Start recording!"

Tom commanded.

Mantis quickly followed Tom’s order, turning on the recording feature.

"Recording started."

Mantis shouted.

Slap—

Before Mantis’s voice faded, the Seven Wolves in Tom’s hand turned into a blur, landing heavily on Taotie’s back.

With one hit of Seven Wolves, Taotie’s shirt tore open instantly, revealing the bronze skin of his back underneath.

Feeling the force of Tom’s blow, both Fang Xiaocao and Mantis gasped in shock.

Fang Xiaocao never expected that Tom would really use such force.

Originally, Fang Xiaocao thought Tom was just putting on a show, going through the motions.

Fang Xiaocao and Mantis were startled by Tom’s action, while Taotie, the one being hit, acted as if nothing happened, not uttering a sound.

Slap slap slap—

Tom didn’t hold back on Taotie; Tom knew exactly how much Taotie could endure, and each lash with the Seven Wolves was heavier than the last. Soon, Taotie’s shirt was completely shredded, his bronze back showing bloody stripes, with skin torn by Tom.

Slap slap slap—

Tom ignored Taotie’s miserable state, continuing to swing the Seven Wolves vigorously.

Now Tom just regretted why he didn’t buy a fake belt; this belt turned out to be sturdier than expected.

Slap—

Finally, with another swing, the Seven Wolves in Tom’s hand finally broke as he wished.

Seeing the broken belt, four of the five people present, except for Unhappy, all heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously.

Hiss—

Taotie finally sucked in a breath from the pain.

Although he could endure a beating, with his skin ripped open, the pain was still noticeable.

However, Taotie’s injuries, although severe-looking, were just superficial wounds to him, with his terrifying self-healing ability, he would recover in two days.

"This matter is settled today, if it happens again, you won’t be let off lightly."

Tom said coldly.
