Crack!
The Emperor whipped non-stop.
In just a short amount of time, Tiara had been whipped a dozen times. She could feel a searing pain each time the Emperor laid the lash across favonovel.com back. The excruciating pain caused favonovel.com muscles to tremble, but favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth and refused to utter a single word.
She knew favonovel.com must never speak. If favonovel.com gave in, it would mean betraying James. Not only that, it would mean leaking James’ plan which would make his position even more precarious.
She would rather die than let that come to pass.
Tiara was just an ordinary girl who had just graduated college and was in the prime of favonovel.com youth. Just like any other girl, favonovel.com loved and worshiped heroes. Yet somehow, a single accident turned favonovel.com life upside down.
I mustn’t say a word…
She murmured silently.
The conviction strengthened her. Despite the excruciating pain, favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth and said nothing.
“Stubborn, aren’t you?” The Emperor’s face darkened.
He then ordered, “Let favonovel.com down!”
“Understood.”
The moment Tiara was released, favonovel.com immediately collapsed to the ground. She could feel a searing pain the moment favonovel.com injuries made contact with the ground, and could not help but groan in pain. Beside favonovel.com were a few branding irons.
The Emperor held one in his hand and looked at Tiara, who was lying on the ground, coldly, ” This is your last chance… Speak!”
Tiara gritted favonovel.com teeth. However, upon seeing the smoldering heat of the branding iron, favonovel.com teeth could not help but chatter. Even favonovel.com body was trembling in fear.
At that moment, terror enveloped her. She almost chose to compromise. However, favonovel.com strong conviction overwhelmed favonovel.com fear.
The Emperor walked over to favonovel.com with the branding iron.
Before it even came into contact with favonovel.com body, Tiara could feel the scorching heat of the iron.
“I wonder how long you can last…” The Emperor’s face darkened, and favonovel.com prodded the iron into Tiara’s flesh.
Hiss!
Tiara’s clothes immediately dissolved. There was a hissing sound the moment the smoldering branding iron came into contact with favonovel.com flesh.
“Argh!” A piercing scream reverberated throughout the dungeon.
Tiara’s bloodshot eyes were bulging. Her face contorted, and veins started popping out on favonovel.com forehead.
She screamed in agony.
“Speak!” the Emperor roared. “I’m asking you a question! What has James been doing all this while?”
“Kill me… Kill me!” Tiara could no longer bear the excruciating pain.
She wanted death. Only death could free favonovel.com from favonovel.com suffering.
Her perseverance enraged the Emperor.
Tossing the branding iron aside, favonovel.com crouched down and grabbed favonovel.com hair. Then, favonovel.com repeatedly slammed favonovel.com head against the ground.
“Just speak, godd*mn it!”
Tiara’s face was barely recognizable anymore. After a while, favonovel.com lost consciousness.
“F*ck!” the Emperor cursed.
He never expected that a frail-looking woman would be such a tough nut to crack, nor did favonovel.com expect that James would have such a loyal woman by his side. Even though favonovel.com was tortured, favonovel.com did not utter a single word.
Scar said, “Boss, I just found out that it was James who was behind the theft of the research data…”
Actually, Scar did not find out anything at all. However, to avoid being blamed, favonovel.com shifted the blame onto James.
Tristan added as well, “Although James was made a commoner, the Blithe King still mobilized his army for him. If not for the documents, the Blithe King’s army would have made their way in.”
The Emperor waved his hand. He had a murderous look on his face.
Even though James was now crippled, favonovel.com still was a cumbersome foe. Now, the Emperor had nothing to be afraid of.
James must die!
He said coldly, “Since the Blithe King found his way here, James must have known that this woman was taken here. He will surely come to save her. Give my orders. Everyone be on the lookout! If James comes, this will be his grave!”
