The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 377

His words, however, made the other three men in the room look at him with a new level of respect. Having such resolve is quite admirable. He’s indeed a rare good man.

At that moment, Cedrick’s mind was only filled with two thoughts, which were to endure the pain and finish copying Precepts for Men. He didn’t have the time to spare to notice the other three men’s facial expressions.

He took a deep breath, trying his best to get himself accustomed to the prolonged agony.

However, when he started writing, every alphabet was untidy, like little tadpoles wagging their tails.

The room was eerily quiet.

Only the sound of Cedrick’s labored breathing could be heard.

Looking at his trembling hands, Kieran saw Cedrick had finished copying the first line. He reckoned the latter had adapted to the level seven pain, so he abruptly increased the stimulus to level eight.

The pain in his abdomen intensified without warning, quickly spreading throughout his body.

Cedrick shuddered, shaking more violently now, causing the word he was writing to become crooked.

His quivering right hand could barely hold the pen.

He looked up at Kieran, who sat beside the labor pain machine.

When Kieran met Cedrick’s gaze, mockery filled his eyes again. “Can’t take it anymore, Mr. Jenson? You can still quit now if you want.”

Asher and Treyton sat quietly at one side. Their eyes darkened in unison. Anyone can boast as they like, but not everyone can endure the real torment and anguish.

While the brothers were feeling disappointed, Cedrick shook his head and forced the words through his clenched teeth. “I-I just wanted to ask if you have any requirements for the handwriting. M-My handwriting doesn’t look very good. I-If it’s not up to par, I-I can rewrite.”

Kieran was slightly taken aback as he stared at Cedrick for some time. Evidently, he didn’t expect the latter to be trying to ask about that. “No requirements. We only need you to finish copying the precepts.”
