On the day when the war broke out and the Western Garrison Army requested for reinforcements …
Jack had specially applied for leave and returned to Kirst City, returning to his home.
He stood outside the familiar little wooden house, looking at the warm sunlight coming from within. Thinking of his daughter and wife, the corners of his lips curled up into a blissful smile.
Opening the door, he walked in. "Alice, Father is back. You guys …"
The next moment, when he turned the corner of the door and looked at the hall in his house, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely stiff.
"Kaunitz …"
Kaunitz, who was dressed in red robes, was smiling as he sat on a chair. In his arms, the adorable Alice was in a deep sleep, looking like a sleeping cat.
Jack's wife was kneeling by the side, trembling all over, her face filled with terror. When she saw that Jack had returned, tears flowed out from her eyes.
Looking at Jack's stiff body, Kaunitz smiled, stroked Alice's head, and said, "Jack, it's been a long time."
By now, Jack had already calmed down and said coldly, "Kaunitz, what are you trying to do?"
Kaunitz smiled, his finger brushing past Alice's fair little face. "I just want to see how much you love your wife and daughter."
Jack said coldly, "Attacking another Knight's family and threatening them is a great taboo in the association. The entire Tresia Clan will be shamed because of your actions."
"Is that so?" Kaunitz smiled. "But I can sacrifice the entire Tresia Clan for myself, but can you sacrifice such an adorable daughter and wife for yourself?"
As he spoke, Kaunitz's finger brushed past slightly, and Alice's little finger fell to the ground. In her sleep, her brows furrowed. However, it was unknown what Kaunitz had done, but despite the pain, she did not wake up.
"No!" His wife, who was at the side, suddenly cried out in shock. Kaunitz then slapped her across the air, causing her to fall to the ground. Her vision was blurred by tears as she looked at Kaunitz in fear and panic.
Jack, who was at the side, pounced forward with a loud bang, but was caught by Kaunitz's Reduced Force Field. Kaunitz, who had attained great mastery in the Infernal Indestructible Physique and had converted his human and dragon bloodlines, was not someone Jack could go up against.
Looking at Jack, who was struggling in midair like a pinched frog, his wife knelt on the ground and cried out, "Please, please let us go, please …"
Kaunitz shook his finger and looked at Jack, whose face was ashen like a wild beast. He said, "Don't be so agitated. It's just a finger, but if you don't listen carefully to what I'm going to say next, it won't be just a finger."
Jack forced himself to calm down, then stared at Kaunitz and said, "What on earth do you want?"
"Just a few small things." Kaunitz handed a packet of ointment to Jack with a smile and said, "After you guys go to the battlefield, if you meet Fang Xingjian, you have to use this on him."
Jack was slightly startled and said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"
Kaunitz did not say anything. He only moved his finger slightly and slid it across Alice's arm, leaving behind a long line of blood.
"No!" His wife knelt on the ground, looking like she was on the verge of breaking down. She covered her mouth with both hands and cried silently.
Jack's muscles and vital energy and blood swelled up abruptly, his Reduced Force Field exploding at full power. However, the power transmitted by Kaunitz was like a huge mountain, suppressing him, making it hard for him to move.
Kaunitz said calmly, "Jack, I'm not joking. Or do you think that there's still a way to turn the situation around? "Fang Xingjian is someone whom the First Prince has his eyes on, and the First Prince is the future ruler of the world. Do you think that something which he has his eyes on will be able to escape? "There are only two possibilities for me to come here today. One is that you've agreed to it and become the First Prince's man from now on. Your whole family will be blessed and have a meteoric rise. "The other is that I'll kill all of you, and your daughter and wife will suffer the most terrible revenge before they die. "Which one will you choose?"
"Which one will you choose?"
With that, Kaunitz smiled again and shook his finger, saying, "Jack, you don't have a choice. The weak have never had a choice when facing the strong. " With that, he carried Alice in one hand and Jack's wife in the other, walking slowly into the shadows.
"If you leak the secret, they'll die. If you tell the academy, they'll die. If you meet Fang Xingjian and he didn't drug them, they'll still die. "If you do anything that's disadvantageous to us, they'll all die.
"And it won't just be a simple death. They'll be sold to the dirtiest brothels and humiliated by the poorest and lowest laborers. In the end, they'll become a pile of rotten meat that even dogs won't care about, and they'll be thrown into the smelly gutters of the slums.
"Jack, don't think of trying to deceive everyone. The First Prince's influence isn't something you can imagine.
"Your classmates, your teachers, and even the academy's upper echelon. There are too many of our people.
"Jack, you have no other choice."
Jack tried his best to chase after them, but the moment he lifted his foot, he was pressed down to the ground by a terrifying force. He knelt on the ground and could only watch as his wife and child disappeared into the endless darkness. The muscles throughout his body kept on expanding and being suppressed, and the muscles and bones in his body kept on getting injured due to this struggle.
"There are professionals who check on Fang Xingjian's diet and medicinal cuisine. They won't give me the chance to drug them!"
His body trembled as he looked in the direction where Kaunitz had disappeared, bellowing out with a face filled with madness and pain.
"Haha, don't worry. As long as the war starts, you'll have plenty of chances."
As he spoke, a piece of paper that emitted a sulfuric smell landed before Jack. Kaunitz's voice carried a strange bewitching power as it entered Jack's ears.
Jack said in astonishment, "The Devil's Note?"
"Haha, do you think that you're qualified to sign the Devil's Note?" Kaunitz said in disdain, "This is a purgatory contract personally made by the First Prince. If you sign it, we'll know immediately after you drug them. "At the same time, if you leak the secret, we'll know as well."
"But the battlefield is so big? I won't be able to find him. "
"Sign the contract and we'll guide you."
…
After applying the medicine, Fang Xingjian immediately felt that his injuries were much better. The effects of the Netherworld Valley's medicinal ointment were much better than he had imagined. The organs in his body which had initially deteriorated were now emitting vigorous life force. Even many of the fine blood vessels and nerves which he had been unable to bind together had started to heal.
Fang Xingjian let out a deep breath, which was filled with the stench of fresh blood. That was the dissolved extravasated blood.
Looking at how much more relaxed Fang Xingjian had become, a perplexed expression flashed past Jack's face.
Just then, a sharp whistle rang out. Jack's face suddenly trembled as he shouted, "He's here! Mumukeya is here!"
…
At the same time, Kaunitz suddenly smiled. He looked at the Fireless Nature Scroll in his hand and smiled, saying, "It's done. Let's go. It's time for us to make our appearance."
Cynthia said in an eerie tone, "After following them for so long, they're finally done?"
At the next moment, he, Rebecca, Cynthia, and Cynthia's husband suddenly sped up, rushing towards Fang Xingjian who was two kilometers away.
