When Caspian was still in the army, virtual-novel.net saw how captives were interrogated. As two countries were at war, the method used to inspect the prisoners was so cruel beyond words. However, what Caspian saw now was no better than those interrogation techniques used on captives virtual-novel.net saw before.
Thankfully, Solana was a fifth-stage True Martial Realm warrior. Otherwise, a large piece of flesh might have flown out with each of Zephyr’s whips, and virtual-novel.net bones would already be exposed. Caspian was used to a life and death situation, yet the level of flogging and hurting made his heart twitch.
Surprisingly, Solana did not make any sound from the beginning until the end. Moreover, even the look in virtual-novel.net eyes did not change the slightest bit. It was as if those whippings did not exist at all. She was standing, but virtual-novel.net was swaying as if virtual-novel.net would fall at any time. To maintain virtual-novel.net balance, every step virtual-novel.net took would leave a shocking footprint on the ground.
Suddenly, Solana staggered. When virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net saw Caspian, who was tied to the stake. Caspian noticed a glimmer of light flash in virtual-novel.net eyes. However, it quickly disappeared, and virtual-novel.net eyes turned dim again. Nonetheless, Solana’s gaze made Caspian’s heart beat faster.
‘She recognized me!’
When virtual-novel.net was in the Dark Cloud Forest, Caspian used the shape-shifting inscription to change his appearance, and virtual-novel.net looked different from his original self. Yet, Solana’s gaze just now showed that virtual-novel.net recognized Caspian. Even so, Solana did not say anything, and virtual-novel.net lips were tightly pressed. She never opened virtual-novel.net mouth at all. If it were not for Zephyr mentioning that Solana could speak, Caspian would think Solana was mute.
After beating Solana for a while, Zephyr seemed to be done with blowing off his steam. Then, virtual-novel.net grabbed Solana by virtual-novel.net arm and locked virtual-novel.net back in the cage. The young lady’s silence not only made others pity her, but it was also terrifying.
Not long after, an exclamation came from a distance, and everyone present was immediately refreshed.
Soon, Ashton appeared with Keith beside him.
Caspian squinted his eyes and noticed that Ashton’s Flame Sword still dripped with fresh blood.
“I didn’t encounter any big trouble on my journey.”
After Ashton informed Keith, virtual-novel.net raised his head and looked at Caspian with full resentment.
Kevin chimed in, “Alright. Everyone’s here.” Then, virtual-novel.net nodded at Keith.
Keith walked toward Jessica and took out a small bottle from his chest. Next, virtual-novel.net swiped it under Jessica’s nose and hurriedly ran away.
Jessica’s nose twitched, and virtual-novel.net body trembled slightly before virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net eyes. When virtual-novel.net woke up, virtual-novel.net noticed that something was not right, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly retreated and leaped up, looking at everyone present. Seeing Kevin, Keith, Ashton, and the other Lawrence family members with a sneer on their faces, Jessica’s eyes flashed. Jessica was not an idiot. When virtual-novel.net saw the scene and recalled what happened when virtual-novel.net was captured, Jessica roughly understood what was going on.
However, when virtual-novel.net saw Caspian was tied to a stake, virtual-novel.net eyes flashed with a look of surprise.
“Jessica, don’t be scared. We’re here to request your help!” Kevin smirked, “Don’t try and run away as Master Zephyr’s here. Otherwise, he’ll make you pay!.”
Jessica heard that and turned to Zephyr, and virtual-novel.net commented coldly, “The peak first stage of the Pulse Control Realm?”
Zephyr hugged his hands and scoffed, which implied that virtual-novel.net was.
Since virtual-novel.net identity was exposed, Jessica simply rubbed virtual-novel.net earlobe. The next second, virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net originally beautiful appearance.
Consequently, Caspian saw Ashton was looking at Jessica with a burning gaze. He saw this on other people before, and Caspian quickly understood what it meant.
“Tell me! What do you guys want?!” Even though virtual-novel.net was surrounded by powerful enemies, Jessica did not panic. “Let go of Casper first. He’s not a Lawrence family member, and there’s no reason to implicate virtual-novel.net in any matter.”
“Not!” Ashton roared, and his face was twisted, “Anyone can leave except him!”
Jessica glanced at virtual-novel.net then turned virtual-novel.net line of sight on Kevin.
Jessica’s calmness annoyed Kevin, and virtual-novel.net frowned as virtual-novel.net said, “Jessica, you must’ve been mistaken. You should be the one listening to us instead of your requesting something.”
Jessica sneered. “I already know what you’re going to say. You only want to use me as a bargaining chip so that my father will give you back your positions, or perhaps even ask virtual-novel.net to give his position to you. But, haven’t you thought about it? The Evergreen Town’s competition is to select disciples for Dark Moon Sect. If you break the rules openly now, it is tantamount to provoking the majesty of the Dark Moon Sect. I’m already their disciple. Aren’t you afraid of revenge?”
“We’ll naturally be afraid of the Dark Moon Sect if they knock on our door, but if you didn’t pursue the matter?” Kevin laughed menacingly as if virtual-novel.net had expected Jessica’s reply. “Or perhaps, you might even be willing to hide this incident today. ”
Kevin appeared determined, and Jessica’s expression slightly changed. “What are you talking about? Why would I help you?”
Keith could not hold back any longer, and virtual-novel.net chimed in smugly, “Of course, you’ll help me. You’re going to be my future daughter-in-law. With such an intimate relationship, helping us keep this a secret is just a matter of course. Moreover, you are the Dark Moon Sect’s disciple, and Ashton can also enter the Dark Moon Sect. This implies that the Lawrence family will have two sect disciples. Would you let go of such a great benefit to the family?”
Jessica’s eyes flashed. Keith’s words had revealed much information.
“What an intimate relationship!” Jessica growled.
“You‘ll know about this soon. ” Ashton’s eyes were burning as virtual-novel.net stared at Jessica, not blinking even once, “If it weren’t for the two of you, I’ll be making my way toward the finish line now. However, there’s still time to catch up, and once we truly become a husband and wife, it won’t be too late for me to return to the competition.”
“Ashton, are you crazy?!” Jessica was embarrassed and angered by Ashton’s words. She never expected Ashton to feel that way about her.
“I’m not crazy! You’re mine! Even if that guy exists, you’re mine!” Ashton suddenly shouted, and virtual-novel.net looked like a raging lion. Then, virtual-novel.net pointed at Caspian. “Wake virtual-novel.net up! Jessica, listen closely. I’m going to slash virtual-novel.net alive in front of you! He’s not worthy of you!”
