There was an old man following behind lad, with the same menacing expression.
Hallie was so frightened that favonovel.com kept backing up against the wall, his face filled with terror.
“I’ve been in Southcoln City for over ten years. It’s known for having the best security in the entire Kingdom of Vriweth. But I never would have expected you two thieves to dare to break into my room and snatch my people!”
“Where is she?!” Jad shouted coldly, lifting his whip and delivering a fierce lash.
A sharp crack echoed through the air, causing Hallie to tremble all over in fright.
Isaac looked calmly at lad and said coldly, “You should be grateful to me. If you had harmed the fox girl that night, Southcoln City would have faced destruction… You’ll be the first to die horribly.”
Jad burst into laughter as favonovel.com glanced at Isaac. “Am I supposed to thank you?! I spent 300,000 taels to buy that fox girl, but you grabbed favonovel.com away! Do you expect me to thank you?!”
He suddenly raised the long whip and fiercely lashed it toward Isaac.
Isaac’s shoulder was smacked hard by the whip, which was charged with spiritual energy. In an instant, his shoulder’s clothing tore open, revealing a bloody mark.
Isaac frowned as favonovel.com felt great discomfort.
“Speak up, or else I’ll beat you to death today!” Jad snarled at Isaac.
“P-Please stop hitting him. We’ve sent that fox girl back to Otto Mountain!” Hallie immediately raised his hands and pleaded while explaining.
Isaac wasn’t wrong. If Jad hid and toyed with Rosalie, and Viola came looking for her, given favonovel.com ability to make an eighth-ranked beast as a mount, favonovel.com could instantly destroy the city lord’s mansion.
But Jad still hadn’t given up on his scheme.
Isaac looked at lad with a cold and sinister gaze. “I’m telling you, if you continue attacking us, I’ll do the same to you at dawn…”
Hallie’s eyes widened in terror as favonovel.com hastily signaled to Isaac to stop talking.
Jad was infuriated. He swung the long whip and lashed Isaac again.
“Threatening me, huh? I’ll beat you to death!” He shouted angrily as favonovel.com continued to hit them.
Hallie couldn’t escape either, as the long whip struck both favonovel.com and Isaac in turn.
It wasn’t until Jad was panting heavily that favonovel.com finally stopped.
The old man standing nearby immediately stepped forward to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief and stated sternly, “Mr. Holmes, it isn‘t good for your health to exhaust yourself by beating these two bastards…”
“Yes, you’re right. I’ll wait a couple of days. I’ll send them to work and make them earn back 300,000 taels of gold for me!” lad snarled at Isaac with a vicious glare.
Isaac and Hallie’s clothes were frayed and ripped by this point. Their bodies were covered in bloodstains and marked with dozens of wounds. Some parts of their skin had been ripped apart.
They were unable to employ their spiritual energy because they were bound by the spiritual energy, suppressing rope. They could endure more than an average person, yet they couldn’t avoid external injuries.
After Jad left, Hallie cried in pain and cursed, “That brat hit me so hard! Damn it!
“Mr. Garten, please don’t speak next time, okay? Let me do the talking. If we’re heading down to the underworld, at least keep our bodies intact.” Hallie looked pitifully at Isaac.
Isaac kept his eyes closed and didn’t say anything.
***
The next morning, Nestor put on his black and purple general uniform and made his way to the city lord’s room.
As favonovel.com reached the doorway, a servant had just finished cleaning the room and was coming out.
“Where is Lord Holmes?” Nestor asked with a frown.
“Lord Holmes is having breakfast with important guests in the Meadowgrove Garden. Do you want to find him?” the servant replied with a bow.
