"Arghh!"
Rong applied all his strength behind his stomp which was enough to crush Olivia's kneecap, making her cry in pain.
Even the people who were watching everything from their house windows were horrified. They wondered if these people were really Nobles of the Yann Empire? Why was it that they looked more evil than the Dark Cultivators themselves?
"I'm giving you ten seconds. If you don't answer, I'll break your other leg as well..." Rong warned Olivia once again.
He was also somewhat surprised how far this girl was willing to go to protect the Dark Mages. He didn't realise that it wasn't the Dark Mages she was protecting... It was them!
"Ten..."
"Nine..."
Rong started the countdown while Olivia lay on the ground, crying while holding her broken knee. The pain felt worse than death itself.
She found her heart filled with hate for these people. Why was it that the Dark Mages were nicer to the citizens of this town than these people? Were these people really the good guys? Were the Dark Mages really that bad? No, this couldn't be! These people were the real demons!
Even as she lay on the ground in pain, she couldn't help but remember the face of Gabriel... Those kind eyes that seemed to have a hint of pain in them yet they were full of determination.
The eyes of a man who had enough strength to destroy all these people, yet he didn't do so, all because he didn't want trouble to come to her. A man who didn't need to help them yet did so on his own, even though he was insulted so much...
Tears trickled down her cheeks as she wondered if she was really going to die here. Was her death going to solve anything? She hoped it would... As long as it could save people's lives...
She closed her eyes.
"What are you doing?!" A shout came from the back, making the girl open her eyes suddenly. "What are you doing to my daughter?"
"Father, what are you doing? Run away!" Olivia screamed at the top of her lungs. Why was her father here? And if he was alone, did that mean that the Dark Mages had already left? In that case, she realized that her father's life was also in danger if he stayed there.
The middle aged man didn't listen to her daughter. The bag which was filled with the herbs that he gathered dropped to the ground as he ran to his daughter to help her.
"I see. So you're her father? That's even better!"
A grin spread across Rong's face. He was quite careful before to not kill Olivia since he believed she was the only one who could answer, but now he could go all out. Even if Olivia was killed, the old man could still answer.
Moreover, it was quite possible that her daughter's death was going to fill the middle aged man with so much fear that he was going to answer everything.
"Time up..."
Stomp~
"Arghhh!" Olivia roared in pain as the man crushed her other knew as well.
The old man couldn't watch it. He had just reached his daughter but he was still too late. Both her legs were crushed.
Before he could even touch his daughter, a foot landed on his chest, sending him flying back.
The middle aged man fell in the distance.
"What are you doing? You want to kill people of the Lumen Empire? You want a war with the Lumen Empires?" The middle aged man asked, standing up while holding his aching chest.
"Hahaha!" Rong burst into laughter. "A war with the Lumen Empire? The Lumen Empire might be somewhat strong, but do you think they'll go to a war with Yann over the death of two random people from an unknown town?"
"Today, even gods and demons can't save you! The only one who can save you from me is me!" He declared proudly. "Tell me where those Dark Mage bastards are hiding! Today, I won't go back without taking two lives! Either it'll be the lives of those two, or it'll be the life of you and your daughter!"
"So think carefully! Do you traitors want to sacrifice your lives for those bastards?!"
The middle aged man clenched his fist. The people from Yan were really arrogant. But why did they want to kill them? Did his daughter not tell them that those two already left?
"The two already left! We won't know where they went!" Olivia's father exclaimed.
"I see. So you want to stick to the same story. We both know that you're hiding them somewhere in the city! But if you don't want to answer, then so be it... I'll just continue playing around until you decide to answer!"
Rong sat on his knees before Olivia. He gently touched her tear stained face. "I don't know why you're protecting those people with your life, but I'll make you regret it."
"Let's continue our game. You have ten seconds... If you don't tell me their whereabouts, I'll break your right hand. After twenty seconds, I'll break your left hand. Don't make me cripple you, young lady."
Olivia already felt so weak. She didn't even feel as if she had the strength to speak. What could she even say? Her father already told them that those people already left. It was him who wasn't believing. No matter how many times she answered, he wasn't going to believe it.
This man... He had the answer right before his eyes but he chose to close his eyes because he didn't want to accept that he had already lost the Dark Mages. He refused to believe that they left!
"So are you going to tell the truth, or not?" Rong asked once again.
Olivia already felt defeated. At this point, it looked less like he wanted his answer and more like he wanted to let out his anger since he had lost his chance of gaining glory. He wanted to kill them to calm his anger because he felt like a failure!
Olivia didn't answer this time. She just gazed at Rong's face which was close to her face before spitting on him. "Kill me."
"You bit*h!" Rong raged as he cleared his face. It was the first time someone spit on him. This insult... It was too much.
He could already see people looking at him through their window. They all saw him being spit on.
"It looks like you don't respect my mercy! Then so be it! You embarrassed me before everyone else, let me return the favor! You forced me to do it."
Rong grabbed Olivia by her throat and raised her in the air. With his other hand, he grabbed her clothes.
"Since we already have spectators, let's give them something worth watching! Let's have them all appreciate your body!"
Since he felt disrespected by Olivia in front of everyone else, he decided to get back at her by giving her something worse! At this point, he felt like death was a mercy for her!
He wanted to make her experience hell while she was still alive!
"Let's see how you maintain that same bravery when you're without any clothes on your body before thousands of people! We'll see your courage then!"
As Olivia heard what those words implied, she felt as if her heart stopped momentarily in fear. Was he...?
Rong grabbed Olivia's clothes. With his strength, just a little pull was enough for him to tear her clothes before all these people.
Rong was about to pull, but around that same time, he froze. He could feel an aura like he never felt before! It was like the aura of a King! And that aura, it was filled with extreme Bloodlust!
Back in the guest house, Xin and the others also felt that same aura that was strong enough to cover the entire town! The powerful aura made them all feel a chill run down their spines! It was like death itself had come to this town!
