To tell the truth, he genuinely hadn't expected the other party to actually swing at him when they said they would.
And to strike so brutally, that slap sent him reeling in confusion.
For a moment, he stood frozen on the spot, unsure of what to do.
But that wasn't the end of it. While he was standing there stunned, the soldiers by his side charged and began tearing at his clothing.
That jolted him awake.
Ignoring the searing pain on his face and his dizzy head, he frantically tried to escape their grasp.
When he realized he couldn't escape, he wrapped his arms tightly around his chest.
His mouth started to cry out in a mix of screams and howls.
However, the soldiers didn't indulge him, another slap came, and he was bewildered yet again. Meanwhile, his clothes were ripped open with a ripping sound by the force of the soldiers.
And with that action, several items tumbled out, falling right at the man's feet.
This scene instantly made everything crystal clear to the onlookers.
