Chapter 143
Chapter 143
When Nori was still in the army, he 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 Nori saw now was no better than those interrogation techniques used on captives he 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 her bones would already be exposed.
Nori 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 her eyes did not change the slightest bit.
It was as if those whippings did not exist at all.
She was standing, but she was swaying as if she would fall at any time.
To maintain her balance, every step she took would leave a shocking footprint on the ground.
Suddenly, Solana staggered.
When she raised her head, she saw Paul, who was tied to the stake.
Nori noticed a glimmer of light flash in her eyes.
However, it quickly disappeared, and her eyes turned dim again.
Nonetheless, Solana’s gaze made Nori’s heart beat faster.
‘She recognized me!’
When he was in the Dark Cloud Forest, Nori used the shape-shifting inscription to change his appearance, and he looked different from his original self.
Yet, Solana’s gaze just now showed that she recognized Ludwig.
Even so, Solana did not say anything, and her lips were tightly pressed.
She never opened her mouth at all.
If it were not for Zephyr mentioning that Solana could speak, Nori would think Solana was mute.
After beating Solana for a while, Zephyr seemed to be done with blowing off his steam.
Then, he grabbed Solana by her arm and locked her 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.
Nori 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, he raised his head and looked at Nori with full resentment.
Kevin chimed in, “Alright.
Everyone’s here.” Then, he nodded at Keith.
Keith walked toward Bolot and took out a small bottle from his chest.
Next, he swiped it under Bolot’s nose and hurriedly ran away.
Bolot’s nose twitched, and her body trembled slightly before she opened her eyes.
When she woke up, she noticed that something was not right, and she 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, Bolot’s eyes flashed.
Bolot was not an idiot.
When she saw the scene and recalled what happened when she was captured, Bolot roughly understood what was going on.
However, when she saw Nori was tied to a stake, her eyes flashed with a look of surprise.
“Bolot, 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!.”
Bolot heard that and turned to Zephyr, and she commented coldly, “The peak first stage of the Pulse Control Realm?”
Zephyr hugged his hands and scoffed, which implied that he was.
Since her identity was exposed, Bolot simply rubbed her earlobe.
The next second, she returned to her originally beautiful appearance.
Consequently, Nori saw Ashton was looking at Bolot with a burning gaze.
He saw this on other people before, and Nori quickly understood what it meant.
“Tell me! What do you guys want?!” Even though she was surrounded by powerful enemies, Bolot did not panic.
“Let go of Valentina first.
He’s not a Lawrence family member, and there’s no reason to implicate him in any matter.”
“Not!” Ashton roared, and his face was twisted, “Anyone can leave except him!”
Bolot glanced at him then turned her line of sight on Kevin.
Bolot’s calmness annoyed Kevin, and he frowned as he said, “Bolot, you must’ve been mistaken.
You should be the one listening to us instead of your requesting something.”
Bolot 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 him to give his position to you. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
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 he had expected Bolot’s reply.
“Or perhaps, you might even be willing to hide this incident today.
”
Kevin appeared determined, and Bolot’s expression slightly changed.
“What are you talking about? Why would I help you?”
Keith could not hold back any longer, and he 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?”
Bolot’s eyes flashed.
Keith’s words had revealed much information.
“What an intimate relationship!” Bolot growled.
“You‘ll know about this soon.
” Ashton’s eyes were burning as he stared at Bolot, 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?!” Bolot 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 he looked like a raging lion.
Then, he pointed at Ludwig.
“Wake him up! Bolot, listen closely.
I’m going to slash him alive in front of you! He’s not worthy of you!”
