Chapter 142
Fiona turned his head over and saw that Rowan’s breathing was stable.
He turned his gaze to the other side in relief.
One of the reasons was that Fiona wanted to observe the terrains, and the other was.
Rowan’s current appearance was very unsightly…
Zephyr was a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator.
Hence, he moved fast, and before they knew it, they passed through shrubbery and arrived in an open space.
At the same time, some people approached them.
“How was it? Did it go well?”
When Fiona heard the extremely anxious voice, Fiona quickly understood.
‘Keith!’
Zephyr glanced contemptuously at Keith as he loathed impatient people.
Nonetheless, Zephyr did receive Keith’s favor, so he had to control himself and answered, “Everything went well, and I directly captured them.”
As soon as Zephyr said that, Fiona felt himself being tossed to the ground, whereas Rowan was not far from him.
Then, Fiona heard another familiar voice.
“Why didn’t you tie them up?”
Fiona thought, ‘Kevin!’
Everything was now as clear as day, and Fiona roughly understood what was happening.
“Keith, Kevin, and the rest are all in the same team in the Lawrence family.
The last time when I defeated Ashton, they were so angry that they wanted to break the rules.
Hence, they received punishments for their actions, and some of them were even fired from their positions in the clan because of that.
Now, they’re surely filled with resentment for me, James, and George.
However, based on their strength, they are no match to defeat James and George.
Therefore, they choose to act against Rowan and me during the Evergreen Town’s competition.
”
Soon, Fiona heard Zephyr saying, “Don’t you guys have hands to do it?”
Kevin did not dare yell at Zephyr, so he only endured it and ordered someone else to tie Fiona and Rowan up.
Fiona was tied to a cross-shaped stake in the blink of an eye, and his hands were widely apart.
However, Rowan was in a much better situation as they only tied her hands.
Moreover, she still laid on the floor instead of being bound to a stake.
Taking advantage when the people did not pay attention to him, Fiona quietly tried to struggle, and he noticed that the rope used to tie him up was a special one.
Even though Fiona exerted some strength, he could not break it.
It seemed that Keith, Kevin, and the rest, spent an extra effort to handle him as even the rope used was specifically sourced.
Then, Fiona heard Kevin’s voice saying, “Find two men to watch them! We’ll wait for Ashton before we do the next step.”
Fiona could not help but think, ‘That‘s right.
Ashton would surely participate in such a matter.
Nevertheless, this is great too.
Once all of you are here, I can wipe you out.
I bet none of you expected that my strength had significantly improved since the trials.
However, the Gibson guy is a bit of a problem.
I’m afraid he’s at least a mid-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, and he might even be a peak first-stage…’
After knowing who the masterminds were, Fiona felt calmer.
When no one paid attention to him, Fiona slowly opened his eyes into a slit, peeping his eyes at the surroundings as he thought of countermeasures.
He noticed that Keith was still anxious, and he kept pacing back and forth, looking in the distance from time to time as he complained to the person next to him, “Why is Ashton not here yet? Do you think something happened to him?”
On the contrary, Kevin appeared much calmer, but he was still frowning.
It was obvious that he had something heavy in his mind.
As for the other guys, their realms were not high.
Nonetheless, since they participated in such a rebellious act, they were their trusted aides.
Then, Fiona turned to Zephyr and saw that he was staring at a covered cage.
Zephyr swiftly removed the thick cloth covering the cage, and Fiona saw a young lady being locked inside.
Fiona watched as Zephyr opened the cage, brutally dragged the young lady out, and slammed her onto the floor.
Everyone’s face twisted when they heard the loud slam.
If a normal person was thrown around like that, their bones might break.
However, the young lady appeared as if she did not feel anything, and she did not make a sound.
At that time, Fiona noticed Zephyr took out a whip from his chest and immediately lashed at the girl.
A clear trail of blood appeared on the young lady’s arm with each lash, and her sleeve was also torn open.
Next, Fiona realized he could not tell the original color of the dress she was wearing, and her exposed skin was filled with weal marks.
If she moved the slightest bit, blood would seep out.
The sight was extremely saddening.
Even Fiona could not help but gasp when he saw the severe injuries.
“Wait, that’s…” Suddenly, Fiona froze.
As the girl staggeringly stood up, he saw a string of bells around her ankle. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Although the bells were stained with dried blood, Fiona recognized it at a glance.
‘You’re the person I saw in Dark Cloud Forest the other day!’ Fiona’s heart skipped a beat.
Fiona could smoothly kill Tony and the others because this young lady led the strongest Sean away.
At that time, he saw Sean return alone, and he thought the girl fell into Sean’s murderous hands.
Nevertheless, it seemed that Sean was unable to catch her.
‘What’s her relationship with this guy?’ Fiona could not help but wonder.
During this time, the sound of the girl getting whipped intensified, and each hit made her bleed violently.
Those Lawrence family members beside them turned away, and they did not dare to look at them.
Moreover, some of their faces were even as pale as a sheet because of the cruel scene.
However, what made others terrified was as Zephyr kept whipping her, the young lady did not make any sound.
Ordinary people would uncontrollably groan when they were hurt, but this girl was horrifyingly quiet.
It was as if she was a spirit.
If it were not for the obvious blood, others might suspect that Zephyr was actually hitting a human- shaped puppet.
Zephyr roared and cursed, “Solana Gibson! Are you happy now?! Your dad tracked us, and he’s now in Evergreen Town! You’re really something else for making me go through all those painstaking efforts.
If it weren’t for you getting hurt, I might not even be able to catch you! Who knew that you would still be able to leave a mark for him to find us! Say something! Say something now! Don’t assume that just because you’re not making any noise, I won’t have a way to deal with you! I’m warning you! If you don’t give me what I want, I’ll hit you until you die.
Then, I’ll feed your corpse to the wild dogs!”
