With the truth laid bare, Ronan couldn’t hide any longer.

Beads of sweat formed on his brow as fear gripped him tightly.

Desperation etched into his voice, Ronan grasped at Nathan’s trousers, pleading, “Nathan, I made a mistake! I allowed myself to be swayed by others’ words.

But I never intended to harm Grandpa.

I knew he wouldn’t be harmed, so I acted recklessly.

I swear I’ll never defy you again.

Please, spare me.

Intense fear gripped him as the cold steel of the pistol pressed against his temple.

Nathan’s anger flared, evident in the intensity of his gaze.

His temper teetered on the brink of control.

Roman’s concern mounted as he feared an accidental discharge of the pistol.

The bullet, should it find its mark, would offer no reprieve.

Its fatal trajectory threatened to end Ronan’s life in an instant, leaving no room for survival.

“Please, spare me! You have the authority to demote me to a county position.

I vow not to return to Stastle for the next ten years!”

Nathan’s steely gaze remained fixed on Ronan as he holstered his pistol.

Just as Ronan began to believe that Nathan might show mercy, Nathan shattered his hopes with a decisive statement.

“A demotion holds no significance.

Instead, I believe a term in a high-security prison over the next decade will offer you the chance for reform.

I will handle this matter through official channels, gathering evidence to be submitted to the National Security Bureau.

The prison is where you will find redemption for your transgressions.

The mention of a high-security pr

ison struck Ronan like a bolt of Lightning.

While he might not meet his demise, the prospect of enduring such a sentence left him trembling with dread.

“Impossible! Nathan, I implore you to reconsider.

I never intended harm when I let Grandpa consume those gr@pes and gr@pefruit.

It was a careless oversight, nothing more.

Please, don’t condemn me to such severe punishment.

Nathan retorted, “I am well aware of your guilt.

You understand the efficiency of the National Security Bureau.

Obtaining evidence against you will be a simple task.

Ronan slumped to the floor, consumed by sadness.

The prospect of a lengthy term in a high-security prison caused tremors of fear to course through his entire being.

He bellowed, “Nathan! If you wish to send me to a high-security prison, you might as well just pull the trigger directly!”

Without missing a beat, Nathan dropped the pistol to the floor before Ronan.

“Fine, do it yourself.

Ronan stared blankly at the pistol, a malevolent notion creeping into his thoughts.

With a sardonic glint in his eyes, Nathan remarked, “You’re faced with a choice: ten years in a high-security prison or pulling the trigger.

It’s up to you.

As his gaze fell upon the pistol at his feet, Ronan’s animosity surged.

He’d rather end Nathan’s life than endure the torment of prison!

Behind his golden-framed glasses, a fierce determination glinted in his eyes.

With trembling hands, Ronan reached for the pistol on the floor, rising to his feet as swiftly as he could and aiming it at Nathan.

“Either way, death awaits me.

But I’ll send you to hell first, Nathan!”

Nathan remained composed, almost dismissive.

He shrugged nonchalantly as if Ronan’s threat held no weight.

“Go ahead if you truly have the nerve.

I might even commend you for your courage.
