Chapter 423: The Dog Trainer’s Tes (1/2)

At the sight of me, he grinned widely. ”Go ahead,” I said. “What game would you like to play today?”

”Don't be so antsy. Worrying is only going to make you age. Have you had breakfast?” he asked.

I didn't have the heart to chat and joke around after he hurt four of my friends. The Dog Trainer walked to a stall nearby, ordered a bowl of oden, and handed it to me. ”Eat!”

Instead of reaching for it, I frowned, ”I don't like to beat around the bush.”

The Dog Trainer ordered, ”You better obey!”

”Are you going to threaten me with my friend's safety for such a stupid little thing?” I scoffed.

I grabbed the bowl, ready to toss it into the trash can when the Dog Trainer's eyes turned dark, ”Do you know the price of disobeying me? The more disobedient the dog is, the more it stimulates my desire for dominance. I don't want to show you my other side.”

I gritted my teeth and pulled out the bamboo stick. Eating it felt like chewing on wax. Coerced to do as he asked made me feel humiliated. At the same time, I realized that this man had an abnormal desire for control.

After finishing my food, the Dog Trainer looked his usual jovial self. He was now back to the kind uncle who wouldn’t hurt an animal, much less a person. Smiling with satisfaction, he said, ”That’s more like it.”

I threw away the rest of the soup and analyzed, ”You were born in a middle-class family and have been self-abased since childhood. Your father was very strict and your mother either died young or divorced your father!”

The Dog Trainer paused, looking puzzled.

”Your boyhood didn’t go so smoothly,” I continued. “You were a nerd who was bullied by everyone else. You used to disguise yourself with a mask and catered to others. You like everything to be in order, but reality never goes as planned which makes you resentful of everything around you. Your marriage turned out to be a disaster. You may have children, but they are very rebellious so this meaningless game of control has become a sort of compensation that makes you feel like the king of everything!”

The Dog Trainer asked coldly, ”Are you making a psychological evaluation of me?”

”Just reciprocating the favor. You like to control people and I like to analyze them!”

”Song Yang, I hope that confident expression will always remain on your face,” he smiled. “One day in the future, you’re going to miss this wild and unfettered side of yours.”

I understood the implication of his words. It seemed today's task was by no means simple. ”Get to the point!” I snapped.

”I thought you don’t kill them,” I arched an eyebrow.

”Not everyone has the potential to become a dog. For some of the more incompetent ones, it’s much better to kill them, don’t you think?”

”I think it’s best for everyone if the people in your organization are all dead!” I mocked.

Roaring with laughter, he took out a photo with a gun and a bullet on top. ”If you finish the task, this is a reward for you.”

This was the gun and bullet Xiaotao fired at the time. It must have her fingerprints on it which was an important piece of evidence to overthrow her conviction.

”And what if I fail?” I asked.

”One of your friends will die! Have I made myself clear enough? There’s an address behind the photo. Remember, don’t leave any evidence behind.”

After that, he turned to the boss stall owner and said, ”Excuse me, I’ll have another one!”
