320: Greatly gratifying

"You can't!"

The surrounding crowd shouted one after another.

"You can't go soft on these kinds of relatives! You must do what needs to be done!"

"Su Cha, don't forget how he treated you and your father at the beginning!"

"Don't listen to his flowery words! He just wants to back out of his debt!"

"Hahaha, how did Atapong become such a cowardly wretch!"

Someone else couldn't help but mock him.

"I'm almost feeling a bit of pity. Atapong, I still prefer the arrogant and unyielding way you were at the start!"

"Hmph, it's not that he knows he's wrong; it's that he knows he's finished, so he's getting desperate."

"You shouldn't give this kind of person a chance! You must make him pay up!"

These people knew in their hearts that Atapong's current humility was all an act; if he were truly let off, he would definitely be arrogant and overbearing again in the future.

So they all advised Su Cha not to be soft-hearted and to make Atapong pay the price.

Su Cha looked at Atapong coldly, his eyes full of mockery. "Weren't you f*cking acting tough? Weren't you arrogant when you forced me to gamble? Weren't you smug when you humiliated my father? Is this your attitude when begging for mercy?"

Su Cha would never forget how his father had just been bitterly pleading with Atapong and Songphong.

At that time, not only did Atapong not have the slightest bit of sympathy, but he also showed a mocking smile and said, 'Isn't your son quite tough? Is this your attitude when begging for mercy?'

Those were his words.

Now, it was Atapong's turn to beg him; how could he possibly forgive him easily?

Hearing Su Cha's words, the sense of humiliation in Atapong's heart grew even stronger.

His nails dug deep into his palms!

He knew Su Cha was taking revenge and intentionally making things difficult for him. He was furious to the extreme, wishing he could rush forward and punch Su Cha!

But he couldn't; he could only endure!

A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Current humiliation was all for the sake of having a chance for revenge later!

Atapong suppressed the anger and humiliation in his heart, gritting his teeth as he said, "Su Cha, I know I was wrong, that I went too far. I've already given you enough face. All the relatives are here today, so don't you go too far!"

"Too far?" Su Cha laughed out of extreme anger. "I'm going too far? Whose fault is it that things ended up like this? Did I force you to gamble? Did I force you to set such a large stake? Did I force you to humiliate my father?"

Atapong was rendered speechless by Su Cha's rebuttal and could only lower his head, no longer speaking.

Su Cha continued, "I've already bowed my head to you, what more do you want?"

"Not enough!" Su Cha said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Atapong suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Cha, his eyes filled with confusion and anger.

Su Cha glanced at Nala, who was standing nearby glaring at him, then looked at his father, Wenchalong, before saying to Atapong, "Are you deaf? I said just this is not enough!"

Atapong stared fixedly at Su Cha, his fists clenching until they cracked, the fury in his heart about to explode.

He hadn't expected that even after being so humble, Su Cha still wouldn't give him any face.

He really wanted to rush up and take Su Cha down with him, but he couldn't; he couldn't let himself be ruined like this.

Just then, taking advantage of everyone's lack of attention, Nala quietly moved her steps, wanting to approach the gambling table again to take away the remaining money.

"What do you think you're doing!" A sharp-eyed villager noticed Nala's movement and shouted loudly, while simultaneously rushing over to stop her.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Nala.

Seeing this, Su Cha's anger flared even more.

He pointed at Nala and reprimanded Atapong, "Atapong, is this the sincerity you spoke of? You keep saying you want to apologize, but your wife is pulling petty tricks behind our backs, trying to steal the money and run!"

"At first, I just wanted to get justice for myself and have you say you're sorry."

"Is it really that hard for you to say you're sorry?"

Atapong's face instantly turned bright red.

He hadn't expected Nala to be so ignorant, still thinking about stealing money at this critical juncture.

Being scolded by Su Cha in front of so many people like he was a grandson, the pain and humiliation in his heart reached a peak.

His fists clenched until they cracked, and his knuckles turned white.

Endure! He had to endure!

As long as he got through today, there would always be a chance to take revenge on Su Cha in the future!

A real man knows when to yield; this bit of humiliation was nothing.

Atapong took a deep breath, turned his head, and looked at Nala expressionlessly.

"Nala!"

"What do you want!" After being stopped, Nala was already very angry. Hearing Atapong speak to her in such a tone made her even more furious.

"Apologize!" Atapong roared.

Nala froze, as if she hadn't understood Atapong's words. After a few seconds, her expression became distorted, and she screamed at Atapong, "Why should I apologize!!! I'm not wrong! They're the ones who are wrong! It's Su Cha! It's these country bumpkins!"

She wasn't wrong at all, so why apologize? Atapong was just a coward who had been scared witless by Su Cha. She wouldn't be a coward like him; even if she died, she wouldn't apologize to Su Cha.

"Damn it, what are you being a coward for!"

Nala cursed loudly at Atapong.

"If he has the guts, let him try something! At worst, we'll all go down together! No one gets to have it easy!"

Atapong's anger could no longer be suppressed.

He had almost knelt down to apologize to Su Cha, he had already been humiliated to this extent, and Nala still didn't understand, still causing trouble here. He was only asking her to apologize, was it that hard?

She wouldn't even give him this much face?

He felt his patience had reached its limit. Overcome by rage, he suddenly rushed over, raised his hand, and slapped Nala across the face with all his might.

"Slap—!" A crisp and loud sound of a slap echoed in the courtyard. Everyone was stunned, stopping their discussions to look at Atapong and Nala.

The force of this slap was so great that Nala was sent spinning in place before falling to the ground with a thud.

Half of her face instantly became red and swollen, with five clear finger marks imprinted on it, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Nala lay on the ground, dazed.

She never imagined that Atapong would actually hit her.

Lei Jun stood in the corner, calmly watching the scene before her, her face showing no ripples of emotion.

This was the end Atapong and Nala deserved; they had brought it upon themselves.

The sisters Su Qing and Su Ya were also stunned; they hadn't expected Atapong to turn on his own wife.

But they felt no sympathy for Nala in their hearts, believing she deserved it.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, both seeing a sense of relief in each other's eyes.

They were even more grateful to Lei Jun. If Lei Jun hadn't stepped in to help, their brother certainly wouldn't have won today and would have been humiliated by Atapong's family.

Now, Atapong's family was reaping the bitter fruit of their own actions; it was truly gratifying.
