56 chapters Punishment

As Barney approached, Flower's smile suddenly disappeared.

He raised his palm and placed it on Barney's shoulder.

Barney only felt an overwhelming force coming from his shoulder, and, caught off-guard, he fell heavily to his knees.

Bang!!

"Ah!"

His knees collided with the hard wooden floor, emitting a dull sound.

He felt as if his knees had shattered. He couldn't help but cry out in pain!

He looked up, bewildered, gazing at Flower as if questioning why?

The surrounding apprentices also jumped, but afterward, they all smiled.

Regina was the one who took the most pleasure in his misfortune.

Barney was a real scoundrel; it wasn't that he had a poor reputation, rather he had none at all.

Turning back, Flower settled into his recliner again, watching Barney as he slowly began to speak,

"Last night, where were you?"

"I was on duty..." Barney started to respond automatically about his night duty of the previous night.
