There was a crisp clap.The portly man's face became disfigured from the force. His big body instantly flew dozens of feet away, crashing heavily into the jail cell. He immediately lost consciousness.His nose and mouth were off-center, his face was contorted, and he had even lost a few teeth. He looked like an absolute mess.The others' expressions changed when they saw the well-dressed, portly man lying on the floor like a log. "Oh no!" Although he wasn't powerful, he was the warden's actual brother-in-law.Hitting him was equivalent to insulting the warden. At this point, death would be a better option."Young man, you're really in trouble this time!" Cornelius looked worried."You—you—you psycho! Get it in your head—we're the Shadow Gang, not the Loony Gang!" the bald, muscular man said in dismay."We're done for. Now that you've hit the prison officer, we're all going down with you!" Everyone was stricken with panic.They thought that they'd gotten an ordinary new member
In one of the studies in the Harmon estate, Natasha wrinkled her eyebrows in confusion. "Dad, are you really going to make Kate marry Tyler?"Not too long ago, she suddenly heard the news that there would be a union between the Harmon family and the Grant family again.And this time, the bride and groom of this marriage were Kate and Tyler."Although the Dark Lord is dead, the Grant family is still a huge thorn in our side. This time, they brought up marriage again and even selected Kate. I really couldn't reject." Hector shook his head."What did Uncle Trent say? Is he going to let his daughter jump into the fire pit?" Nathasha pressed further."That's exactly the problem." Hector let out a sigh. "Your Uncle Trent and cousin readily agreed to the marriage. They also have the support of the family elders. I was not able to intervene.""What? They agreed?" Natasha was a bit taken aback. "Don't they know that the Grants have ulterior motives? They're after something else!""I'
"George's adjutant? What is he doing here?" Caius was taken by surprise."I don't know," the prison guard said, lowering his head."Alright, let him in," Caius said, gesturing."Yes," the prison guard answered before leaving quickly. After a moment, he brought a man in a gray shirt in. "Hello, Mr. Roswell," the man in the gray shirt greeted politely as soon as he entered.He knew the man before him wasn't just an ordinary warden; he was extremely powerful and had a wide network. Even his viceroy listened to him."What's the matter?" Caius crossed his legs."On order of Lord Xenos, I'd like to ask you to release a person." The man in the gray shirt bowed his head."Release a person? Who?" Caius asked."A young man named Dustin Rhys," the man replied without beating around the bush."Dustin Rhys?" Caius narrowed his eyes. "Sorry, but I can't give him to you. No one walks out of Azkaban. This is a rule!""Mr. Roswell, I hope you can make an exception. After the deal is done,
"Well …" The man in the gray shirt and the prison officer were stunned by the sight of Caius plastered to the wall.Never in a million dreams would they imagine that the almighty warden—a Grandmaster martial artist—would be sent flying with just a slap.Not to mention, he was even stuck on the wall. He couldn't even get on.This was simply too shocking!They turned their heads. The first thing that they saw was a beautiful woman. She had silver hair and wore a red tracksuit. On her back, her three-foot viridescent sword was trembling slightly.She looked bold and majestic, like a Goddess of War! Especially those cold and arrogant eyes that seemed to look down on everyone. They didn't dare look right into her gaze."How dare you hit me? Do you not know who I am?!" When Caius returned to his senses, he was furious from the humiliation he had suffered. He had never been hit like that before, much less by a woman."Release Dustin," Scarlet spat coldly."You think I'll release h
The bald, muscular man had spoken out after a long moment of contemplation. Cornelius retorted impatiently, "Don't be foolish! There are formidable barriers and numerous expert fighters out there. We won't stand a chance of escaping!" When he was still powerful, he knew there wasn't any possibility of them succeeding. Now that he was weakened, he knew it was just a far-fetched dream."Mr. Adler, we'll die anyway. Why not try our best to escape?" The bald, muscular man gritted his teeth and said, "I've thought about it. If we manage to take the correctional officer hostage, there might be hope for us to survive.""That's right! We might stand a chance of escaping if we have a hostage." Everyone else nodded in agreement.Of course, it was impossible if it were just a regular prison officer. But the correctional officer was the warden's brother-in-law. He would be their most powerful bargaining chip since he was important. "No one has ever managed to escape from Azkaban, and the
The moment Caius bowed, everyone was stunned and stood frozen in place. They were all dumbfounded as their expressions filled with shock. Unbelievable! The man before them was none other than Azkaban's warden, a formidable martial arts grandmaster! He was a terrifying figure who held absolute authority over the fate of the prisoners. It wasn't an exaggeration to say the warden was revered like a God within the prison walls. His very presence commanded respect. The idea of such an authoritative and godlike figure kneeling before a prisoner seemed utterly impossible. "C-Caius? Why are you bowing? Get up …" The well-dressed, portly man was the first to react. He quickly rushed to Caius' side, attempting to help him up. "Fuck off!" Caius slapped him and lashed out, "Don't drag me down into the grave you dug!" "Huh?" The portly man slumped to the ground, his face ashen. Had he offended an incredibly influential figure? His brother-in-law disassociated himself from him witho
"Of course! Since they are your friends, they must be righteous people!" Caius flattered Dustin. Then, he waved his hand and ordered, "Release them!" One after the other, the chains made of darksteel were unshackled. It seemed like a dream. Everyone was in disbelief. They had thought they would spend their entire lives trapped in Azkaban. They never imagined that they would see the light of day again. The prisoners felt extremely fortunate. "Thank you very much, Mr. Roswell!" Cornelius and the rest of the group thanked him. "You should be thanking Sir Rhys." Caius played smart. "Thank you very much, Sir Rhys!" They bowed down profoundly. Tears of happiness welled up in their eyes. At that moment, Dustin was their savior. "I'm a part of the Shadow Gang, after all. I can't just leave all of you here to suffer. Let's go out together." With a gentle smile, Dustin confidently strode out of Azkaban. They had only spent a short time together, but Dustin could tell they wer
Their intimate behavior shocked everyone present. It wasn't just the recently released prisoners who were taken aback. Even two of Scarlet's deputy generals, Georgia and Bridget, were left dumbfounded. The Goddess of War they knew was decisive and ruthless. No matter who she was faced with, she always wore a cold and aloof expression. She was terrifying when angry. No one was able to stand in her way. Usually, any man who dared to touch her would risk losing a few limbs. But, even though she was being patted on the head in public right now, she wasn't furious. Instead, she was smiling in genuine joy. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have never believed their general had a tender and gentle side to her. Was she still the fearsome and unapproachable Goddess of war they knew? "Logan, have you been well these years?" Scarlet felt a multitude of emotions as she took in the familiar face before her. They hadn't seen each other in ten years. The once magnific
