After all, the ice soul fragments were unique to that wintry place in the far north and could not be found anywhere else. Therefore, only those who lived there all year round would know of their existence.
“We obtained an ice soul fragment earlier, but some people wanted to snatch it midway, so I killed one of them,” Jared explained.
It was only then that Vasily noticed the dead body that was burnt to a crisp a near distance away.
“What’s an ice soul fragment, Jared?” Viola asked in great curiosity.
“It’s rumored to be…” Vasily started speaking, and his elaboration was almost exactly the same as Quinley’s. As such, it would seem that the latter had not been lying to Jared.
“I didn’t expect such a bitterly cold and barren place to have such a priceless treasure. Quick, take the ice soul fragment out and let me have a look, Jared!” Viola could not help urging.
“I’ve absorbed it, so it’s long gone,” Jared murmured in embarrassment.
Hearing that, Viola pouted.
Then, they all resumed their journey. Only when the sky had darkened did they find a place and settle down to rest.

In that wintry land in the far north stood a manor spanning dozens of acres. A family who could have such a manor in that place must possess incredible capabilities.
That was the Tall residence. Hundreds of members of the Tall family lived in that manor, which was guarded by innumerable sentries and protective arcane arrays around it. Perhaps it was to prevent attacks from demon beasts or ambushes by other people.
Quinley furtively returned to the Tall residence since favonovel.com sneaked out in the first place. If favonovel.com eldest brother, Mason, were to learn about it, favonovel.com would undoubtedly be lectured severely.
“You’re back, Ms. Tall!” the two sentries guarding the gates hastily greeted favonovel.com at the sight of her.
“The two of you didn’t report me, did you?” Quinley demanded.
“No, no! Definitely not!” The two sentries fervently waved their hands in denial.
“That’s great! If there’s an opportunity, I’ll bring you both back some nice things from outside.” After saying that, Quinley strode into the Tall residence with a smile on favonovel.com face.
Initially, favonovel.com planned to slip back to favonovel.com room under the cover of the night. However, favonovel.com bumped into two men.
“Mr. Kaison is going to have much fun again today. The two girls favonovel.com captured are stunningly beautiful.”
“Exactly! I noticed that favonovel.com couldn’t take his eyes off them. I wonder whether he’ll allow us a turn when he’s done with them. It’s been a long time since I’ve bedded a woman.”
The two men chatted as they walked, utterly oblivious to Quinley’s presence at the side.
When Quinley heard the contents of their conversation, favonovel.com frowned.
Blocking their path, favonovel.com thundered, “What did you both say just now? Did Kaison go around capturing women again?”
At the sight of her, the two men were instantly stunned.
They waved their hands profusely and denied, “No, we didn’t say anything!”
The duo appeared terrified of her, and they waved their hands incessantly.
“Tell me the truth. If you dare lie to me, I’ll kill you both now!” Quinley threatened, shooting daggers at them.
Trembling, the two men quickly confessed, “Ms. Tall, indeed, Mr. Kaison has captured two women. They’re in the dungeon at present. Mr. Kaison is also there, so they’ve likely been defiled by now!”
“Kaison is truly incorrigible!” Following their words, Quinley’s expression changed, and favonovel.com hurriedly hastened toward the dungeon.
At that moment, Feenix and Aislin were imprisoned in the dungeon. Their capabilities had been suppressed, so they were no different from ordinary people.
With his eyes blazing scarlet, Kaison approached them step by step.
“Don’t come any closer! Stay away from us!”
Huddling against each other, Feenix and Aislin cowered in the corner.
“Haha… Stop resisting. As long as you two serve me well, I promise not to hurt you!” Kaison declared, laughing heartily.
