Chapter 197 - 197 Last Man Standing (2)
"Spare my friend, please! I'll take the punishments for he was not to be blamed for what happened to Luna. I ordered him to do it, please let me take his punishment!" Louie shouted, he wants to save Ethan.
"Ethan has his own decisions to make but still he chooses to believe in you and Sofia. He made decisions on his own that time and you don't have to take all the blame, Mr. Louie Chen, you and your friends have different kinds of punishments so you wait for your turn" Isabele's voice was heard. Yuan was on her side and just listening, "Yuan choose a different path that time, you are also his friend and boss but still he chose to protect Luna. He chose to fight to whatever plans that you and your wife just to hurt our Moon" Isabele added.
Dimitri: "Enough! Eros, Ares, start the process!"
Eros and Ares bowed to Dimitri and they both went to Ethan's side. "What do you want to do first? The Vodka or the Flogger?" Ares asks Eros as he took Ethan to his seat, Eros looks at Ares then to Ethan and said "Mr. Ethan Li you need to drink some Vodka in different brand and with you gave to eat whatever is incorporated on the beer mug, then we will whip you by the use of a flogger. We have a set of questions that you need to answer correctly, wrong answers mean three times flogging. Are clear on that Mr. Ethan Li?"
Ethan nodded, Kim was observing his friend as it seems that his soul has gone to his body while Louie... Louie closes his eyes and tried to absorb and assess the words that he has just heard. He tries to plan some words on how he can save friend, his friend who helps him from the time that his grandparents disowned him because of what he has done to Luna.
"Take your sit in a separate table facing your friends Mr. Ethan Li, we will start with this" Eros said and handed him a beer mug with Tosca Vodka with tabasco sauce, "You have to drink all of it" Eros added.
Ethan deeply sighed as he stared at the beer mug with green tabasco sauce, he has a high alcohol tolerance but if it is a concoction then ye didn't know if he can endure it.
Ethan gulps a mouthful of saliva as he took the beer mug and drunk all of it, his face turned red instantly after her drunk the Vodka and ask "What's in it?"
"Ahm Vodka, green Tabasco sauce, mince bird's eye chili and Carolina Reaper, and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and sambal oelek" Soteira answered him. Natalie and Natasha turned their heads to Soteira's side for what they have heard, "You're a cruel human being?" Natalie mumbled. "Boss orders Sweetie, and that thing that he just has is not that strong" Artemis informed the Phantom twins.
Ethan coughs as the chili effect has gone down to his throat, "Give him some milk" Amber informed Pearl. Pearl run towards the cooler wherein the needed first aids are concealed, Pearl took two bottles of fresh milk, opened it and walks at the side of Ethan and gave the milk. Ethan's hand trembles and his eyes are now in tears, he can't grip the bottles as he keeps on coughing. Pearl helps him so that he can drink all the milk, "Please stop it! Don't let him drink another one, it is me that needs to be tortured and not him!" Louie shouted again for he took pity to Ethan's situation.
"Don't worry Louie, I can manage, if this is the only way to prove to Rosela and to atone my sins to Luna, I will endure every pain and punishment they will give me" Ethan said after he drunk all the milk that Pearl has given to him.
"Take his shirt of Ares, it's time to do the flogging" Alexei informed one of their men. Ares followed the orders of Alexei, as he strips Ethan's shirt the Ladies of the Court, and the Wu triplets widened their eyes as they gawk to Ethan's 6 pack abs and the V-line shape in his body.
"Hey don't droll! We also have that kind of abs and V-Line shape body!" Jamil shouted that he had suddenly closed Audrey's eyes with his hands. Luna laughs when she heard Jamil's words "I am very much contented to My King's body. He has an eight pack abs and a V-line shape body and he also has muscles to die for and some girls will surely droll if they will see it" Luna proudly informed everyone. Louie stared at Luna, he was very envious and jealous for what Luna has just said, he was jealous because Luna's head is resting at Francois's c.h.e.s.t while she c.a.r.e.s.ses his c.h.e.s.t.
"Let's get back to business. Ares flog him two times" Alexei ordered Ares, in just a matter of seconds Ares flog Ethan twice on his back. Ares made it sure not to hit the vital parts at his back, "Mr. Ethan Li, what is the greatest lesson you have ever learned after Louie divorce Luna?" Francois asks Ethan who endure the pain from what Ares has done to him.
"Louie used to call Luna crazy. Crazy because she still loves him so much even though Louie hurts him to the core, even if he and Sofia humiliate her in front of us. But I just realize after when Luna left him and we got the news about her demise. That was the day I have seen Louie be on his lowest point. Even after he marries Sofia, he didn't stop doing everything on his power to look and search for Luna because he has this gut feeling that Luna is still alive. That was the time I said to myself that he has feelings for Luna and she was simply a woman fighting hard for Love; for my friend….. For Louie, I know he would do anything crazy just to win her back" Ethan answered Francois as he looks at Luna and gave her a faint smile. "I know Louie is five years too late, he did look for you Luna, the day we got the pieces of information about your demise at the train station he pleaded your friends the Wu triplets to give him the information's to where did they put your ashes but they made it clear to him that he will not get what he wants for he was the reason why you left. He was disowned by the Chen Elders even his father was disowned by them because he made a wrong decision" Ethan added.
"I don't care for such reasons like that, he always says that he loves our Moon, but still he believes what Sofia has been telling him. Let him drink the mixture of Amber and Pale Ale beer" Rosela ordered Eros. "Gave him also the Brewmeister Snake Venom" Rosela added.
"Are you sure you are going to give him the Brewmeister Snake Venom? Xavier suddenly asks his sister. "One bottle is equivalent to drinking 15 shots of hard liquor. A label on the bottle recommends not exceeding 35 milliliters in one sitting. He may pass out if he finishes half of the beer mug. Remember that all drinks here have a special accompaniment like the spiciest chilies and weird kinds of stuff" Xavier added.
"Don't worry Xavi, he has a full stomach before we gave him the drinks. He just needs to be ready for whatever we will do to him, and don't scare the other two. They might wet their pants" Scarlet told Xavier teasingly.
"I'll drink it, I can still endure whatever you all want to do with me. We have doctors here and I know my life will not be in great danger" Ethan informed them and Eros handed him the Brewmeister Snake Venom and the mixture of Amber and Pale Ale beer. "It's up to you which mug you are going to drink first, but I recommend that you must drink first the Amber and Pale Ale beer because it is not that strong, unlike the Brewmeister Snake Venom. Then after that, you have to eat grilled gizzards and fried frogs" Eros informed him.
Ethan's eye widened and swallowed a mouthful of saliva because for him he can drink any alcoholic beverages or concoctions but eating grilled gizzards and fried frogs.....But still, for Rosela he will do it. He will do it just to prove to her that his intentions for her are pure and true. "Okay I'll do it, I'll do just what you have just told me. Give me the Amber and Pale Ale beer then I'll eat the exotic dishes the give me the Brewmeister Snake Venom after I finished the food.
Eros handed him the two mugs of Amber and Pale Ale beer with an accompaniment of minced Jalapeño and a dash of paprika and pepper, a plate of grilled gizzards and fried frogs then one bottle of Brewmeister Snake Venom.
