Question him any which way possible, we need answers, anything that could be of help to us concerning that letter, he might even be the key to nabbing whoever this criminal is once and for all." Just as Adonis was about to exit, the insolence of the deceitful servant flared up again. Insults spilled from his lips, a last stand of defiance that ignited Jesse's temper, one that pushed him to punch the servant even more but despite the several blows that he was dealt with, the servant continued to run his mouth as if he could care less what happens to him for disrespecting the prince this way.
