Speeding felt good.

However, that was very satisfying for people who liked racing.

To Viscount Samuel, it was not too good.

After hearing the report, he came to the town and saw the knight who had been burned alive. He also saw the soldiers who had been pierced, killed, and cut into pieces on the dock, as well as another knight who had been cruelly killed.

Oh, there was also a mage among the dead.

According to the townspeople who had seen it, the Cathayan had returned and announced his revenge. This made the uneasiness in the viscount’s heart become reality. He was thinking about how to deal with this fish that had escaped the net when he heard the news from the manor—all his uneasiness turned into hysterical anger.

That was his son.

“What’s going on?!” The viscount who had rushed back roared, “You trash!”

Samuel raised his hand. The butler bowed his head and accepted the punishment. Samuel saw the bloody injury on the other party’s leg and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. “How did he succeed?”

“I’m sorry, my lord. I’m useless.”

The butler explained, but he only heard Lynch’s scream. When he rushed over, he was faced with the trap and attack of the Cathayan. He was actually very confused.

The viscount’s gaze turned to Hannah.

Hannah had been trembling. Seeing this, she pounced forward and grabbed the viscount’s hand. She muttered, “Father, Father, that Cathayan, that clown, is crazy. He captured Lynch. He said that it was not my turn yet. He’s back. He actually dared to return! Father, we must execute him!”

Viscount Samuel was filled with anger at this moment. When he heard that Lynch had been kidnapped, he was already very worried and anxious. Seeing Hannah chattering like a lunatic, he could not help but think of Hannah’s unauthorized actions last night.

If Hannah had not poisoned that Cathayan without permission…

When he thought of this, anger erupted in his heart. He shook Hannah off forcefully and threw her to the ground. “Shut your mouth! Your brother has been captured. Why are you still here?!”

In the end, a son could inherit the family business and continue the bloodline, and a daughter was only a tool for marriage.

Hannah fell to the ground and looked up to see her father’s cold and sharp gaze. She could not help but be shocked.

Then, she lowered her head deeply.

The viscount looked at the butler.

The butler continued, “That Cathayan is too cunning. I fell into his trap. Otherwise, he would definitely not be my match if I faced the enemy head-on! He doesn’t know martial arts and his martial techniques are crude. He’s only very strong and his weapon is very strange, but that’s all! Please give me a horse and let me chase after him!”

Viscount Samuel glanced at the wound on the other party’s leg and said coldly, “Stay behind to deal with the injury and set up a new defense. I’ll chase after him!”

At this moment, Mage Richard stood up. He had heard that his disciple had died at the dock and followed. Now, he said firmly, “I’ll get my apprentices and disciples to retreat!”

Viscount Samuel turned to look at him. “In that case, the defense of Glory Sand will be further weakened.”

“My disciple died!” Mage Richard said coldly. “I brought them here to carry out the Eldest Prince’s orders, not to die for your estate! Since there’s danger, we have to recall them. As for your Glory Sand Town, this is your own business…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Samuel grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth, “My son has been captured! His fate is unknown! Now, I want to save him and kill that Cathayan clown! If you want to avenge your disciple, follow me! As for recalling your disciples, don’t even think about it!”

“If Glory Sand Town is finished, if this operation fails, the Goode family is finished! If the Goode family is finished, I won’t have any scruples anymore and won’t tolerate you! Do you understand?!”

Looking at the murderous, cold, and gloomy Viscount Samuel in his eyes, Mage Richard was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously nodded, “…Alright!”

Then, he realized his cowardice just now and added, “Let’s hunt down that murderer!”

Viscount Samuel asked for the direction Kang De left in and chased after him with Mage Richard.

The butler had only roughly tied the wound. It was not until the viscount left that he felt a burning pain in his leg. Ignoring everything else, he prepared to return to his room and treat his injuries further.

Suddenly, a soft feeling came from his right arm and a fragrance assaulted his face.

The butler was stunned. He turned around and saw Hannah get up and come over. She held his arm. She was beautiful and her eyes were charming. Now, she said gently, “Butler, let me treat your injuries.”

The butler blushed and stammered, “Th… there’s no need…”

“Yes,” Hannah said softly. “You were injured to protect me…”

The butler was helped to her room by Hannah in a daze. The girl carefully treated his wound. In short, the scene was very harmonious. The butler was confused by this gentleness.

Of course, Hannah had her own plans.

Because her father had gone to chase after her brother, his gaze just now made her heart palpitate.

Kang De said that it was not her turn.

In other words, it would be her turn eventually.

She recalled that just now, Kang De had used traps and sneak attacks to fight the butler, but he was still easily forced back by the injured butler. Now, although the butler’s leg was injured, his battle aura was still present.

In other words, staying by his side was the safest.

Her father loved her brother more than he loved her. Glenn was dead. At a time like this, she could only find new protectors… Should she choose a few more knights?

The butler put down his pants and gently patted the wrapped wound. “Thank you, Miss, thank you. I’m already much better. I should check the defenses of the manor…”

Hannah immediately said, “I’ll accompany you.”

The butler hesitated and said, “You…”

Hannah’s eyes turned red. At a time like this, she decided to tell the truth and use her emotions.

She sobbed, “I, I’m a little afraid that that clown will come again. He captured Lynch. What if he wants to capture me? He… he… I’m so afraid! Butler, will you protect me?”

With that, Hannah threw herself into the butler’s arms.

The butler revealed an expression of lust and desire.

The weak woman cried for protection. It was the moment for the man to show his might. He immediately said, “Miss, don’t worry! That clown has already been forced back by me, and Master and Mage Richard are chasing after him. They might have already cut off his head! Even if he dares to come again, I already know his methods and tricks. I’ll definitely kill him this time!”

When Hannah heard this, she took a step back and looked at the butler with admiration and admiration. She nodded gently. “Yes, I believe you. Please let me patrol with you…”

Immediately after, her face turned pale and was filled with shock and fear as she looked behind the butler.

The butler was stunned, then his hair stood on end and he suddenly turned around!

At some point, the door was opened. A person walked in silently and rushed towards him!

“Clown!”

The butler turned around and shouted, his battle aura rising as he struck out with his iron fist, “You still dare to come! Where’s the young master?!”

According to his experience from the battle just now, although this Cathayan was very strong, he did not know martial arts and did not have supernatural power—this meant an absolute difference in strength.

He was really courting death!

He punched out and was about to shout a warning and call the guards and knights to surround him, wanting to keep this guy here forever. However, in the next moment, the unarmed Cathayan grabbed his arms!

Kang De smiled brightly. “When did you have the illusion that I can’t defeat you?”

The butler was shocked and his battle aura suddenly erupted. He wanted to shake off the other party’s hands, but he felt a vigorous and sharp power from the Cathayan’s body. This power was actually… battle aura!

He said in shock, “You…”

Kang De kicked the wound in his right leg.

The butler roared in pain, then he felt two hot streams transmit to the wrist guards on his hands. In an instant, the wrist guard made of steel was as hot as a branding iron, burning his flesh and stinging his nerves. His hands were weak, and he opened his mouth to scream. Kang De’s knee had already ferociously pushed over.

“The people of the alternate world are so weak. They underestimated their enemy. They’re stupid and pathetic.”

In just a moment, the butler fell to the ground.

Kang De shrugged.

Then he looked at Hannah.

Hannah froze in place, her body trembling and trembling.

She had once placed her hopes on the Guan family’s protection, but who knew that this trash… was actually so weak!

She thought of what Kang De had said to her before he kidnapped Lynch.

‘It’s not your turn yet.’

She was afraid of Kang De’s next revenge and did not expect it to come so quickly…

The woman’s body was trembling. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she could not say anything.

At this moment, Kang De moved.

He bent down, grabbed the butler’s hair, and lifted him up. Then he looked at Hannah and smiled gently, calmly, and harmlessly.

He put his other hand to her mouth and shushed her.

“Don’t be anxious, don’t be afraid. It’s not your turn yet.”

He said.

Then, he dragged the butler out of the window.

Shocked roars and commotion sounded from outside again.

Hannah was stiff like this. In her room, she stood upright and did not move. Sweat slid down her face, and her body trembled. Her eyes were terrified, and a bone-chilling cold enveloped her.

It had happened twice.

She did not know why Kang De did not touch a finger of hers.

She did not know what this meant.

No, she knew, but… she did not dare to think about it.

When Kang De’s laughter faded and the servants in the corridor shouted her name, Hannah shivered. She recovered from her endless fear and suddenly hugged her head, letting out an inhuman scream. It was hoarse, crazy, and desperate.

The second attack.

The Cathayan attacked the manor for the second time.

No one expected this.

Even the wily Viscount Samuel did not consider this.

The Cathayan clown had used the tragedy of the town to lure the viscount and the mage away and took the opportunity to attack the Glory Sand Castle and kidnap the viscount’s beloved son. The viscount went to track him down. Everyone had lingering fear, and everyone’s thoughts followed this line. The other party had kidnapped the young master, Lynch, so he must have planned to plot accordingly, threaten the viscount, or use him as a hostage. Everyone thought so.

No one expected Kang De to return in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, he had only kidnapped one butler.

By the time Samuel, who had obtained nothing, received this news, a long time had passed.

“This is the second time. I think Viscount Samuel has learned his lesson, right?”

On the mountain behind the town was a dark cave. The walls of the cave were square and very flat. It was definitely not natural, nor was it excavated by ordinary tools.

The lights were on inside.

The butler was tied to a chair made of mud. His body was covered in blood and he kept twitching.

He looked at Kang De with despair and fear in his eyes. His initial toughness was no longer there.

“The equipment here is very simple. We can only make it simple.”

Kang De threw a pair of bloody pliers aside and asked, “Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some detergent? It’s not the kind we use at home. It’s the signature soap of the restaurant.”

“Don’t… don’t…”

The butler said in a low voice, “Please, stop torturing me. I’ll tell you everything. I’ll tell you anything you ask me…”

He had already lost all his courage.

Kang De nodded. “You’re right about one thing and wrong about two things.”

The butler looked up with hope.

He yearned to hear Kang De speak because this meant that the other party would not torture him anymore.

“You’re right. I do want to know something.”

The butler’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly said, “I know! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!”

Kang De slowly said, “This is about the thing you were wrong about… I want to know, but I won’t hear from you, because I don’t believe you. I won’t believe a word.”

“No, no, no, don’t!”

The butler wailed, “I won’t lie. I swear, I won’t! I won’t lie to you! Really! Please don’t torture me anymore. I’ll definitely tell the truth!”

“I don’t believe your words.”

Kang De shook his head calmly, then reached out and pressed down on the butler’s head. “I have to mention the second thing you’re wrong about. I didn’t torture you because I wanted to force you to speak, nor was I a psychopath who wanted to take pleasure in your screams.”

“Generally speaking, I’m unwilling to make things so bloody. I can’t turn myself into scum just because you’re scum. As for me, even if I want to take revenge, I have to be a tasteful avenger. I want to have more fun.”

“I just want you to be weaker—your soul, that is.”

The butler seemed to realize that he was approaching his end. He begged loudly, “I’m sorry! I’m only under the viscount’s orders! I can help you! I can provide information! I can help you deal with him! I’ll tell you all the secrets I know. His secrets, his weaknesses, his…”

“Shh…”

Kang De pressed his head with one hand and raised the other to his mouth. “Don’t argue. You don’t have to say it.”

“I’ll see for myself.”

There was a strong light and intense screams. Everything about the butler was stripped away and turned into light that was sucked into Kang De’s eyes. His life’s memories turned into fragments that filled the sky and lingered in the sea of souls. Kang De examined all of this.

Until the other party completely disappeared from this world.

After a long time, Kang De flicked his head, “What a pity… As expected, the spell slots are limited, but I can choose to absorb them or not. If I don’t absorb, I can only look at the fragments of his memories.”

He sorted out the information he had seen earlier.

Perhaps his mental strength was limited. Before the butler completely disappeared, he could only see a limited fragment, but if the goal was clear, he could search for the relevant moment.

He noted down the most important clues in his notebook.

“Mercenaries, the treasure room, and…”

“Little beggar.”
