Sylas looked around. No one cared.
"Hey! Stop, why are you beating him?!" Sylas shouted as he approached.
Obi grimaced in pain, looking at Sylas who had just arrived. His eyes widened when he saw the man with Kai.
"Kaiii!" he shouted in disbelief. The slave was still alive!
Obi almost jumped with joy and relief. He stood up and ran toward the slave, making sure Kai was truly alive and unharmed.
Kai looked happy too. But he didn't know why Obi was being punished.
"Thank God you're still alive," said Obi, unable to contain his happiness.
"Over here, you little brat!" shouted Gim, pulling Obi back to his place.
"Arrgh!! Yes, yes!" cried Obi, pouting.
Sylas tried to stop him, but John held him back. "Leave him alone. He deserves his punishment."
"What? But he was whipped!" Sylas couldn't believe his eyes.
