Then, he looked at the people nearby.
Immediately, those people understood and subdued Hugo and the driver.

"Sure thing! Anytime you want to chat, just remember my name. I'm your daddy," the leadertaunted, deliberately provoking Hugo.

As a result, Hugo's once immaculate gray suit was now crumpled, his collar torn. He looked utterlydisheveled, as if he'd been through a brawl.
Finally, they left Hugo and the driver on the east and south sides of Enswood, respectively. Despitethe rain and sparse crowd, some passersby noticed them being pushed out of the car.

Slowly, Hugo got up amidst their laughter. It wasn't the first time Richard had subjected him to suchhumiliation. Similarly, Richard had ordered others to strip him and abandon him in a bustling street,allowing people to mock him without mercy.

Pearl sensed his somber mood and tried to console him. "I know you've been humiliated. But don'tworry, we'll get our revenge."
Richard gently shook his head, taking her hand. "I'm not bothered by that. And you shouldn't havebowed down to Hugo for my sake. He wouldn't harm you, and you could've turned him down. Youdidn't have to sacrifice yourself for me."
Richard felt very uneasy seeing Pearl submit to Hugo on his behalf.
"So, what, you want me to just stand by and watch you suffer? Get beaten, yelled at, even killed?"
Richard smiled bitterly. "I couldn't bear to see you endure that. Pearl, I'm sorry you had to gothrough all this because of me."
