“That’s right. You’re just a nobody, yet you have the audacity to badmouth the highlord. I can see that you’re trying to get yourself killed! ”
Zayn behaved as if virtual-novel.net was frightened. He lowered his voice and said with slight stubbornness, “I’m only telling the truth. The former Saintess never betrayed the organization, so virtual-novel.net shouldn’t be executed no matter how bad virtual-novel.net crime is.”
“As for Lady Lysithea, that doesn’t make sense either. She was only standing up for the former Saintess and begging for mercy on virtual-novel.net behalf…”
“That’s why I said that Ezra is such an authoritarian. He used his position to vent his own anger in the name of public interest!”
These two insignificant people became even more terrified after seeing that Zayn had the courage to make such an accusation. They assumed virtual-novel.net was a hothead, but they were not very strong-minded either.
After hearing Zayn’s argument, they started to believe that Ezra had gone too far. It was because, to their knowledge, the former Saintess had never committed any treasonous act that harmed the organization during the last few years that virtual-novel.net had been imprisoned.
“There are things which you don’t know. The former Saintess may have done nothing wrong, but it was virtual-novel.net son’s fault.”
“Her son engaged the Southern Highlord in a fight some time ago and beat virtual-novel.net to death. That was a serious punishable offense and the former Saintess will certainly have to bear the consequences.”
“As for Lady Lysithea, I heard virtual-novel.net had an intimate relationship with the former Saintess’ son and even engaged in joint training with him. That was how virtual-novel.net son managed to make such drastic improvements in his fighting skills…”
The man still wanted to say something else, but his companion next to virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net a quick shove and virtual-novel.net did not dare to comment further.
He immediately pulled a long face and spoke to Zayn in a tone that showed his seniority, “Hey, you’re just a low-ranking member, so why are you gossiping so much, huh? It’s best that you mind your own business!”
Zayn did not speak, but virtual-novel.net nodded to show his agreement.
Their conversation had already given virtual-novel.net some crucial information. He was filled with anxiety and his chest was burning with rage. He had an intense urge to kill Ezra and cause chaos in this place, but virtual-novel.net still controlled his impulses!
He knew virtual-novel.net had to remain calm because the most pressing matter at that moment was for virtual-novel.net to rescue his mother and Lysithea.
As long as virtual-novel.net could leave this place with them, virtual-novel.net would still have plenty of opportunities to seek revenge in the future!
After figuring this out, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath to calm himself quickly and then began to look for the dungeon where his mother and Lysithea were held captive.
Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net had to keep a low profile and virtual-novel.net was also new to the place. He did not dare reveal himself in the presence of master fighters, so virtual-novel.net still could not locate their cell after searching for half an hour.
He suddenly heard a commotion, and when virtual-novel.net turned to see what it was, virtual-novel.net was met with a shocking scene that made his pupils constrict.
He watched as his mother and Lysithea walked with great difficulty, their bodies bound in chains and shackles while they were surrounded by a group of people!
His mother was covered in wounds and blood, virtual-novel.net face pale. She seemed to have lost all virtual-novel.net strength and was low in spirit. He could tell at a glance that virtual-novel.net had been tortured.
Lysithea was in an even more disheveled state. Her breathing was shallow as though each breath might be virtual-novel.net last.
It was obvious that Lysithea’s left shoulder was injured, making it difficult for virtual-novel.net to move.
Upon witnessing all this, Zayn clenched his fists tightly. He was furious, deranged, and sorrowful!
The first thought that came to his mind was to run over and adopt the most simple, brutal method to save his mother and Lysithea!
However, virtual-novel.net still refrained from doing so because virtual-novel.net knew there were too many highly skilled fighters around.
Even if virtual-novel.net was a perfect-class master fighter, virtual-novel.net would never be able to escape with two burdensome hostages under such circumstances.
He had to figure out a safer and more reliable way!
