The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 480
The endless pressure being applied triggered a sense of suffocation in Craig.
His fists alternated between clenching and releasing as the rage within him swelled to its brim.
All the physical punishments that Cedrick had meted out were exercises used during training. Other than the coffee cup thrown earlier, he had not laid a finger on Craig.
Hence, even if Craig wanted to report Cedrick to their superiors, he had no reasonable excuse to do so.
With that thought in mind, Cedrick calmly tapped on the table and reminded, “You still have fifteen seconds to decide. Take your time.”
The words sent a shiver down Craig’s spine, vanquishing the thoughts that were previously cycling through his mind.
Without a moment’s delay, he hurried toward a spot two steps away from the wall. Teeth gritted, he took a deep breath and pushed himself upright with his hands.
When Cedrick mentioned for it to be done near the wall, he clearly didn’t mean for Craig to lean against it.
Thus, the latter had to support the weight of his entire body with his hands alone.
Although his back was facing the wall, it only acted as a temporary cushion in case he fell down.
This exercise was particularly strenuous due to its technical difficulty, and the fact that Craig was already drained made it worse for him.
At the two–minute mark, his arms were already trembling uncontrollably.
Thus, he felt as if thirty minutes could potentially torment the life out of him.
Many years had passed since he was reduced to such a pathetic state.
He would never forget the humiliation he suffered and swore to seek revenge one day.
Observing him from a distance, Cedrick could clearly see Craig’s trembling arms.
