Now, facing the very style of suffering he once inflicted on others, Mr. Justice clings to defiant silence. The brothers respond without hesitation — pulling down his pants to expose old beating scars, then pouring a specialized corrosive poison directly onto the wounds. The mixture causes flesh to react violently, revealing bone in places while keeping him agonizingly alive. The pain is deliberate: not quick death, but a living hell designed to mirror the cruelty he once dealt to their families.
The chapter delivers unrelenting tension through cold, efficient vengeance and the slow unraveling of a man’s tragic backstory.
Haksu Kim crafts the “Your English AND Malay Mentor” volumes with a mentor’s steady hand — guiding readers through dark, unflinching territory while maintaining clear emotional through-lines. He shines at blending visceral physical suffering with layered psychological revelation, making the torture feel both immediate and meaningful.
His writing excels at showing the human cost behind vengeance: the cold efficiency of the brothers’ methods contrasted against Mr. Justice’s crumbling pride and haunting memories of lost love. Kim doesn’t glorify the pain — he makes you feel its weight, its purpose, and the tragic spiral that led a once-admired noble to this breaking point.
