Unaware of being whipped, these people continued their mechanical mining operations.

"whispering sound..."

The fat man scoffed disdainfully, his gaze falling on the only short man among them. He chuckled wickedly, "You're the most fun, Sag."

The boy he was looking at was a black-haired boy who was thinner than the others in the mine. His exposed skin was covered with whip marks, and he seemed to have suffered the most severe injuries than the others.

Unlike the others, the boy was staring at the fat man.

"No..."

The boy named Sag pursed his lips, lowered his head again, and smashed the rock with a hoe, as if he were treating it as if it were the fat man.

Snap!

A whip lashed mercilessly across his back.

Sag grunted, stopped swinging the hoe, gripped it tightly, and turned to look at the fat man.

"Resist, Sag!"

The obese man, as if seeing something novel, said, "I've seen that look in your eyes again after so long. It's so interesting. Why don't you resist? Resist me!"

He licked his lips and chuckled, "It would be quite interesting if they resisted, hehehe...hahahaha!"

"I..."

Sag's knuckles began to turn white as he gripped the hoe tightly. He took a deep breath and continued digging for ore.

“I will not defy you, Minister Barber.”

Upon hearing this, the obese man's face darkened. "Since that's the case, then..."

He raised his whip high, shouting, "Die, Sag!"

brush!

The whip suddenly fell.

call.

A gust of wind blew up.

The falling whip was caught by a hand.

"Hmm?" Barber looked over and saw that the person holding his whip was a man wearing a fur coat and a fur hat.

"That's really strange..."

Kuro glanced around and said, "It seems like you're the only one here. Why aren't you resisting when there are so many people around?"
