"Get out!

"

"_

n.

nAs if they had just been freed from hell, most of the men who had never been here before..... quickly walked out of the audience room without even waiting for their leader to show them the way.

nThis master of theirs was truly terrifying!

nAnd funny enough, they still didn't know his name or how he looked like.

nHow odd.

n.

nAfter watching the men leave... the young man immediately left the audience room with 2 of his right-hand men.... as well as 10 other guards too.

nThey held up various torches in their hands while making their way towards a private dungeon... which was located close to the young man's bedroom chambers.

nIn short, almost no one knew what or who was inside that dungeon..... but they knew one thing.

nAnd that was the fact that asking or prying for more information, would definitely get them killed on the spot.

nSo they had immediately killed that curious side of their ages ago.

nAnd now, they just did what they were told, no questions asked.

nIn short, the only ones who knew who was inside there.... were all the main leaders on the estate, who would deliver food to the criminal, or take care of anything else involving the criminal.

nSo who was the mysterious criminal?

nWell... that was another mystery within the estate.

n.

nAfter stepping into the dungeon, they were immediately greeted with a room that had a massive silver door right at its back.

nAfter sliding a large metal rode off the door, 10 of those guards stood guard there.... while the young master and his 2 right-hand men continued forward.

nWalking in, they soon descended on a black dirty stone stairway... which was crawling with rats very fat rats and other rodents.

nThey walked down for another 4 minutes, before reaching the bottom of the dungeon.

nThere, they were immediately greeted with an open prison cell, which could host more than 50 people at a time if need be.

nAnd along the walls of this open-cell..... one would find chains and large metal cuffs which were already attached to the walls there.

n.

nEach cell was as tall as 3-stories high, as one should know that the men had actually left the 6th floor of the mansion.... walked down the dungeon stairway, and were now in one secret location on the 3rd floor.

nAnd at the top of the tall cells, one would find tiny windows which were as small as a book..... that had metal bars on them for ventilation, which was of almost no use as the place still smelled like mould and dust.

nIn addition to that, because of how tiny the window was, there was barely enough moonlight or sunlight that ever got in..... giving it a dingy and stuffy feeling to all.

nOf course, with all these factors..... how could this place not be a breeding place for rats, cockroaches and other nasty bugs and rodents?

n'Squi! Squi! Squi! Squi!'

nThe rats immediately scattered about and ran into hiding, when they saw the trio advancing forward with several torches on their hands.

n.

n'Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!'

nSitting against the mouldy walls, was a woman in her mid-thirties..... whose hands were bounded by one of the large metal cuffs on the walls.

nShe leaned against the wall with her eyes shut tightly.

nHer entire appearance was similar to one of a beggar..... who looked haggard, dehydrated and extremely exhausted.

nThis was the special prisoner in the mansion.

n

"Wake her up!!

"

n

"Yes, master!

" Replied one of the young man's right-hand men.

nAnd soon, the woman was greeted with 5 fierce slaps to her cheeks.

n'Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!'

nFrom the first slalom, the woman has already woken up..... but it was just that her eyelids had been yoked heavy from extreme fatigue that it took time for her to force them open.

nBut why should these men care?

nThey continued to slap her until she opened them widely.

n

"That's enough!

"

nWith that, the man stopped slapping the woman and stood at her side... ready to hit her again when commanded.

nHmph!

nIf his master wanted her dead, he would kill her with no hesitation.

n.

n

"Are you ready to finally talk?

" Asked the young man, who was now firmly holding onto the woman's jaws.

nThe woman looked up to him calmly and immediately spat on his face.

nOr at least she had aimed for it to go there..... but with how weak she was, it had only managed to hit his chest only.

n'Spit!!'

n

"How dare you spit on the master!

" The other man closest to her yelled while getting ready to punch her hard.

n

"Settle down Flint!

" The young man said while looking deeply at the woman.

nAnd after a few more seconds, the young man soon burst out into laughter all of a sudden.

n

"Hahahahhahaha!!!

nAs expected of his people!

nYou all are extremely tough to handle!

nBut no matter how hard you try to cover things up... do you really believe that I'll take you, hostage, without knowing anything about you?

nWell... let's put it like this!

nRight now, I have your entire household locked up in another dungeon.

nAnd if you don't tell me what I want to know, then you can kiss all of them good-bye.

nBut if you do.... then I promise to let you and your family go freely and safely.

nSo tell me.... how do you know the Ghostly Prince, and where is his hideout to be exact?

"

n

"_

"

n.

nThe young man looked at the woman and sneered.

nWomen were always weaker than men, and he was very sure that soon enough, she would spill the beans once one mentioned anything related to her family.

n

"So what's it going to be?

" He said while looking at her confidently.

nThe woman looked at him with a terrified gaze, as she tried to talk.

nSo seeking the woman struggling to speak loudly, the young man immediately crouched next to her in order to get his answer.

n

"So tell me, where exactly is his hideout?

"

n'Spit!'

n'_'

n.

nThe 2 right-hand men immediately froze on the spot, while looking at the smiling woman.

nDid this f**kin' b**tch just spit on their master's face?
