"No, no, my brothers, we're all men here, why make it hard for another man?"
"Let's talk this out! Don't touch me!"
"Fuck! If you dare lay a finger on me, my good brother Du Wei will surely avenge me."
"He's a big shot at the church, and his girlfriend is loaded, you can't afford to mess with him!"
Tom was babbling incessantly, on the verge of collapse.
He considered himself to be a good man despite indulging in all vices - drinking, whoring, gambling.
How could a good man be messed with by another man?
No one could bear that!
However, the two black men were so annoyed by his chatter that one of them chopped him on the back of the neck, instantly knocking Tom out cold.
Father Tony, who was about to plead for mercy, immediately shut his mouth upon witnessing this scene.
Then, he said obsequiously, "Don't worry, big brothers, I'll go with you, I won't resist at all."
