Chapter 63: Truly Something to Look Forward To... |
...
Your so-called Lady Yaoluo, she relies on me exceptionally.”
Jonas’s words lingered like the whisper of a demon in their ears.
Several people froze, despair flickering in their eyes.
If Lady Yaoluo had surrendered and become their plaything,
then what were they—willing to die protecting her—worth?
Just as Jonas said, utterly worthless?
Even now, they found it hard to believe.
Lady Yaoluo was one of the most crucial figures in the Destiny Army, yet what method had Jonas used to transform the usually aloof Lady Yaoluo into such a shameless woman?
Several of them opened their mouths, “I...”
One clenched his fists tightly, suddenly shouting, “Even if...”
However, the moment those words escaped his lips, a cold gleam flashed like lightning!
With a crisp “shing,” the long sword in Jonas’s hand came down.
In an instant, blood splattered, blooming like a crimson flower in midair.
The man who had been speaking was cleaved in two!
His body collapsed limply to both sides like a torn rag doll, yet his eyes still held the disbelief of that split second, as if unaware he had been severed.
Blood gushed from his body like a fountain, splashing onto the nearby men, leaving shocking crimson stains.
Jonas elegantly leapt aside, easily dodging the shower of blood.
Through the Eyes of Desire, he could tell which ones were stubborn.
Some had already wavered inside.
Kill all the stubborn ones; keep two of the wavering as pawns—that would suffice.
...
This scene caused those men’s eyes to widen instantly.
Their pupils shrank, muscles tensed with terror.
Jonas said, “Now let’s settle your accounts.”
“I... don’t want to...”
Shing—
Another head fell.
The remaining men stared wide-eyed.
What was he doing?
Wasn’t this supposed to be an interrogation?
Why was he killing everyone?
Seeing someone brutally split like that,
they could even feel the chilling cold radiating from the iron sword.
Jonas said, “The Destiny Army doesn’t care about you, and I care even less.”
Next, “shing”—another head rolled.
Until Jonas’s gaze finally landed on the last two.
One of the last two was named Artes; he was so scared he had even wet himself.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
Drip drip—
Liquid dripped onto the floor beneath the bench.
Jonas looked at the last two, tapping his iron sword on the floor.
“You two are not so lucky.
Surviving will be even worse~”
“What did you say???”
Jonas glanced at the system messages.
Seeing what terrified the two the most,
he smiled.
“I am always ruthless to my enemies.”
...
The next moment, the dungeon echoed with pig-like wails.
That despair and agony made even the guards outside shudder.
Yet secretly, they admired Jonas.
They had interrogated for a long time with no results; these Destiny natives were like stones in a cesspit—foul and stubborn.
But how long had Jonas been inside?
Hearing those sounds, they knew the captives had absolutely submitted.
You never mess with Lord Jonas!
...
Inside the dungeon.
Jonas sat on a bench; the ropes binding the two before him had been untied.
The two knelt like trembling piglets before him.
Their bodies still shook nonstop.
Stammering, they said, “We are willing... willing to be loyal to Lord Jonas. Please, please... don’t torture us anymore.”
They finally understood why even Lady Yaoluo had surrendered unhesitatingly at Jonas’s feet.
He... he was truly a devil.
Seeing their loyalty levels, Jonas nodded in satisfaction.
He said to the two before him:
“I installed some little magical trinkets on you.
These trinkets can take your life at any time.
Of course, you can seek a mage to remove them.
But as far as I know, natives like you in Destiny don’t have any powerful mages.
You could also betray me or commit suicide.
But... these things will make you experience ten times the hell you felt today.
Don’t doubt my words; I always speak honestly.”
The two kowtowed uncontrollably, frantically saying, “Yes, yes, we will never betray you!”
This day felt like the most desperate they had ever experienced.
They finally understood why Jonas said they were not so lucky.
Watching the two trained pawns, Jonas smiled.
“I’ll let you two go back.”
Artes: “Ah?”
Jonas: “As my spies, bring me first-hand information.
The magical device can contact me.”
“Yes, Lord!”
Jonas: “Of course, there’s something more important for you to do.
This time, take these two magical cards to your leader Deslar.
Tell him Yaoluo has already joined me. These are secretly copied from outside, which cost many lives.
Only you two managed to escape with severe injuries.”
The two instinctively said, “Le-Leader... no, Deslar is suspicious by nature; he might not believe this!”
Jonas smiled and said, “He will believe it.
Just tell him:
Katdera brought you a message:
You are the poisoner, Deslar. What happened back then will be paid back tenfold!!!!
Go! Don’t disappoint me!”
At this, Jonas tapped the bench with great interest.
He wondered what expression Deslar, the Destiny Army leader, would have upon seeing these magical cards and learning this news.
Truly something to look forward to...
The acquisition of Katdera’s loyalty could now be put on the agenda.
After obtaining her abilities, there would be few who could stop Bostaya.
Thinking of this, Jonas was especially pleased.
When happy, one should do what makes one happy.
Liliana had been frightened by this assassination attempt; he should go and comfort her properly.
What kind of “knowledge” should he use?
