Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 514 Pride
Soon, Walter gave Skylar a bow in front of everyone and said, "Greeting, Mr. Stone. My name is Walter Wilkins."
The people behind him did not hesitate for a moment and greeted Skylar as well. "Greetings, Mr. Stone." Soon, everyone in the
hall did the same. More than a thousand people were greeting Skylar at the same time and it was a true spectacle to behold. It
was only then did Franco and Gladys realize the severity of their actions. They could not believe that Skylar was actually the
mysterious Mr. Stone that everyone was talking about.Their bodies grew limp as their minds turned blank. Even Yulia was
shocked by such a grand display at the moment. She was overwhelmed with emotions then and felt proud of Skylar. It seemed
that she was still a little girl at heart despite her cold demeanor. She was proud of Skylar since he was heralded like a hero.
However, Skylar, on the other hand, simply nodded without much reaction.
After that, he glanced at Franco, Gladys and the security guard before saying, "I don't ever want to see them."
When Samuel heard that, he knelt in front of Skylar and pleaded, "Please spare my son, Mr. Stone..."
Both Franco and Gladys knelt in front of Skylar and began begging for their lives. "Mr. Stone, we're sorry for offending you. We
were fools and we swear that we won't ever do that again. Please, spare us!"
When Gladys noticed Skylar's lack of reaction, she rushed over to Yulia and pleaded with her, "Yulia, please tell your husband to
spare us. I mean, we were classmates back then. Look, we were just talking out of our butts and we don't really have much of a
grudge anyway! Please tell your husband to spare us, Yulia! I'm begging you, please!"
It seemed that Yulia was starting to be swayed by Gladys' tearful pleas. However, Skylar knew that they only wanted to take
advantage of Yulia's kindness to have their lives spared. So, he said, "Are you sure that's all there is? Why don't you think
carefully about how many chances I've given you both?"
It seemed that he had already given both Gladys and Franco plenty of chances when they provoked him on the train earlier. He
only spared them back then because Gladys and Yulia used to be classmates. However, not only did they not appreciate their
chance to stay alive, they doubled down on their insults. They intentionally allowed Skylar and Yulia to enter just to get Walter to
do their dirty work for them. If Skylar had been a regular soldier, he would be tortured by the group of security guards then.
