Obviously, outsiders didn’t know anything about the Deragons’ matters since it wasn’t exactly something that they were proud of.
If people learned Ryker had poisoned his biological father and imprisoned his sister, virtual-novel.net would’ve been mocked and humiliated. So, virtual-novel.net had been keeping those things a secret.
There was one more reason for Ryker to do that, though it was a secret virtual-novel.net had kept under wraps. Even Godrick didn’t know what that secret was, but virtual-novel.net wanted to. Only Ryker and Beatrice would know about it.
Beatrice instantly knew what was going to happen when virtual-novel.net saw Ryker come in with the whip. She slowly stood up with indifference.
After twenty-odd years of pain and suffering, nothing could phase virtual-novel.net anymore.
Ryker got even angrier when virtual-novel.net saw how uncaring virtual-novel.net appeared. He grabbed the whip and began to hit virtual-novel.net with it.
It was a shocking sight as streaks of blood instantly appeared on virtual-novel.net body. However, there was no change in Beatrice’s expression at all. She didn’t even furrow virtual-novel.net eyebrows as though the whip wasn’t hitting virtual-novel.net body.
“Your d*mn bastard son has some nerve to hit Edgar! I’m going to capture virtual-novel.net one day and reunite the both of you…” Ryker gritted his teeth and whipped harder.
It wasn’t until Beatrice heard Ryker mentioning virtual-novel.net son’s name that there was a slight change on virtual-novel.net face. She wanted to ask virtual-novel.net how virtual-novel.net son was doing, but virtual-novel.net ultimately didn’t do so. It was because virtual-novel.net knew Ryker wouldn’t tell virtual-novel.net anything useful or truthful.
As Ryker continued to whip his sister, Godrick pulled out his phone and secretly recorded the beating with trembling hands.
Godrick’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat. He was gambling with his life because if Ryker learned what virtual-novel.net was doing, virtual-novel.net would be dead on the spot. However, virtual-novel.net still took the risk to record what was happening in order to further his plans.
With his current power and influence, virtual-novel.net knew it would be difficult, if not outright impossible, for virtual-novel.net to take the position of the head of the family away from Ryker.
That was why virtual-novel.net needed someone to help virtual-novel.net eliminate Ryker and Edgar.
After Ryker had beaten Beatrice for a while, virtual-novel.net let out a satisfied sigh and threw the whip to Godrick. Then virtual-novel.net exited the dungeon.
Godrick hurriedly followed behind him.
The injured Beatrice slowly sat back down. Her fresh wounds would take a long time to heal.
Inside the dungeon, virtual-novel.net abilities were restricted. She was just an average person, so virtual-novel.net injuries would need a long period to recover.
Upon exiting the dungeon, Godrick left. Right as virtual-novel.net exited the Deragon residence, virtual-novel.net sent the footage virtual-novel.net recorded to someone.
Initially, virtual-novel.net wanted to send it to Jared. That way, the latter would be so enraged that virtual-novel.net would pick a fight with Ryker and Edgar. Perhaps virtual-novel.net would even kill them in the process, which was what Godrick hoped for.
However, Godrick didn’t know how to contact Jared, so virtual-novel.net sent the footage to Rayleigh instead. After all, Rayleigh was once a part of the Deragons, and they knew each other.
Godrick was confident Rayleigh would be able to contact Jared. If and when Jared saw the footage, virtual-novel.net would undoubtedly be riled up.
Of course, doing so posed a great risk for Godrick. Should Ryker learn the existence of the footage or even find it, virtual-novel.net would immediately know Godrick was the one who recorded it.
However, the risk and benefits of doing so were equally matched, and Godrick was getting a little impatient.
Concurrently, hundreds of kilometers away, Rayleigh was strolling inside Medicine God Sect’s base. He had fallen in love with the place after spending time recuperating there.
The air was nice, the sceneries were beautiful, and there were lots of ordinary people going about their everyday lives. There were no schemes, fights, or bloodshed there. It was practically a haven.
