Chapter 542: Brought to Justice

However, Joseph continued, "I've heard that after that skinless ball of flesh crawls out from underground, it usually remains alive, running about in pain on the ground."

"Please, no more…" Morrel, already frightened by the torture, closed his eyes and pleaded in a trembling voice.

Joseph nodded and, seeing a few people sigh in relief, suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh, almost forgot, there's one last step they mentioned: pouring a bucket of boiling water over that ball of flesh!"

"Ah—" Morrel was so scared that he fell to the ground, a wet patch forming on his trousers.

The others appeared as if their souls were about to leave their bodies, some clutching their chests as if about to vomit.
