As soon as Isaac finished speaking, the cell fell into a dead silence.
Nestor stared at Isaac with wide eyes.
He’d seen some people who spoke arrogantly and rudely in front of the city lord as if they were acting conceited. But their fates would always be miserable, sometimes even affecting their entire families.
After Isaac finished speaking, Tahbert was silent for a long time.
Finally, favonovel.com gritted his teeth and said menacingly, “Bring Jad to me.”
“Lord Holmes?” Nestor exclaimed in confusion.
“Call favonovel.com over!” Tahbert growled through gritted teeth.
Nestor immediately turned around and walked out.
Soon, the drowsy lad followed Nestor into the cell.
Upon seeing his father, lad immediately dropped to one knee and anxiously greeted, “Father…”
Tahbert looked at his son before glancing over at Isaac.
Suddenly, favonovel.com smiled as favonovel.com said, “I’ve brought my son here. You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t endanger his life.”
After speaking, favonovel.com looked at Nestor and said, “Once they’re done, invite them to the west courtyard.”
Nestor was stunned, and lad looked completely baffled.
Shortly after Tahbert left, the cell was filled with sounds of agonized screams, similar to those of a beast being slaughtered, accompanied by the sharp cracking noises of a whip.
The screams gradually faded, and Nestor exclaimed from inside.
Two subordinates rushed into the cell with a doctor. Not long after, they hastily carried out lad, who had been whipped so badly that favonovel.com was covered in blood.
Isaac and Hallie were untied and walked out of the cell one after the other.
Hallie shook his aching arm, took a deep breath, and smiled. “What a relief!”
Being able to beat up the Southcoln City lord’s son was something favonovel.com could brag about for a lifetime.
Last night, Hallie thought Isaac was bragging. But today, the latter did it. He couldn’t understand why the city lord would allow his son to be punished.
With a stern and angry expression, Nestor walked ahead of Isaac and Hallie, leading them straight toward the west of the city lord‘s mansion.
The western courtyard was located at the far west of the city lord’s mansion. It was quite quiet, and the rooms were somewhat old.
After they entered, they were soon served by two maids and four men in long robes.
Four men in long robes positioned themselves at the four corners of the west garden, while two maids entered the room with new clothes, external medicine, and some food and fruits.
“Honored guests, Lord Holmes has instructed us to attend to any of your needs. Please don’t hesitate to ask.”
After placing the items properly, the two maids swiftly left the room.
Hallie stood up quickly, crouched by the window to look outside, and turned his head. “Mr. Garten, there are a few people outside watching us.”
“We need to find a way to get out of here tonight, or we’ll die,” Isaac said coldly as favonovel.com changed his clothes.
Hallie turned ashen in an instant. He turned around, walked up to Isaac, and stuttered, “Dead? Didn’t favonovel.com allow us to hit his son? How is it suddenly…”
“He allowed us to hit his son because he’s wary of what I’ve mentioned. He’s afraid that the news about his son purchasing a fox girl might spread, especially in the Royal City. If favonovel.com manages to eliminate the potential threat of this issue, we’re doomed.”
Hallie immediately turned sorrowful and reached out toward a fresh apple on the table.
“You can’t eat that,” said Isaac coldly.
***
In Jad’s room, his body was covered in wounds and bruises.
After applying medicine and wrapping favonovel.com up, only his face remained unbandaged, while the rest of his head was wrapped like a mummy.
Tahbert stood at the bedside.
Watching his son’s tears streaming down, favonovel.com scolded, “You deserve it. You brought this on yourself!”
“Father, I… I was wrong…” Jad sobbed.
“Lord Holmes, Mr. Holmes might have acted on impulse and probably doesn’t realize the severity of this matter. Please let this matter go!” Nestor, standing at the back, intervened to defuse the situation.
