500 cut off

Tobias Perkins had already suffered once, and he would surely not let it happen again.

This was an unwritten rule he set for himself, he could not afford to let Luke Perkins easily find out about his actions again.

If before, Luke Perkins had a 70% insight into his actions, then with the chip, it would raise to 90%.

Removing the chip would bring this down to less than 50%.

These were figures Tobias Perkins had arrived at after deep contemplation.

Pierce Lennon first used an alcohol cotton ball to clean the wound on Tobias Perkins, performing a basic disinfection.

Then, with just a light pressure, he scraped the surface of his skin.

Tobias Perkins took a sharp inhale, his eyes quickly shut tight, and his brow briefly furrowed in pain.

"I know, it hurts a lot,"

Pierce Lennon was instead the one offering comfort to Tobias Perkins.

"I'll be quick, Mr. Perkins. Please bear with me."

Pierce Lennon had to cut a bit deeper to see the chip.
