Chapter 142: Danger

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

It was on the day war broke out and the Western Garrison requested for assistance.

Jack had taken leave for the purpose of returning to Kirst City and to return home.

He stood outside the familiar-looking small, wooden house. Looking at the warm light emanating from the house, he thought of his daughter and wife and the corner of his lips curled up into a blissful smile.

Opening the door, he walked in. “Alice, daddy is back. You guys…”

At the next moment, when he turned in and looked toward the main hall, his expression froze.

“Kaunitz…”

Kaunitz, wearing a red attire, was smiling as he sat there on a chair. In his arms, cute Alice was deep in sleep, looking like a sleeping kitty.

Jack’s wife was kneeling down at the side, trembling with terror reflected on her face. When she saw that Jack had returned, tears came pouring down from her eyes.

Looking at Jack’s frozen state, Kaunitz smiled. Patting Alice on the head, he said, “Jack, long time no see.”

By then, Jack had already calmed down. He said coldly, “Kaunitz, what do you want?”

Kaunitz smiled, his finger stroking across Alice’s tender cheeks. “I only want to see how much you love your wife and daughter.”

Jack said coldly, “Attacking another Knight’s family in order to threaten them is a great violation of the Association’s regulations. The whole Tresia Clan would be clouded in shame from your actions.”

“Is that so?” Kaunitz smiled, “However, I can sacrifice the whole Tresia Clan for own sake. Would you be able to do the same for your adorable daughter and wife?”

As Kaunitz said this, with a slight stroke of his finger, Alice’s little finger landed on the ground. Still in her dreams, her brows furrowed. Kaunitz had apparently done something that caused her to not awake in fright even after going through such pain.

“No!” Jack’s wife suddenly screamed out. After receiving a slap from Kaunitz across the air, she fell to the floor. Tears blurred up her vision as she looked toward Kaunitz with terror and panick.

With a loud bang, Jack pounced forth but was grasped by Kaunitz with his Reduced Force Field. Kaunitz, who had mastered the Inferno Indestructible Physique and changed his blood into a combination of human’s and dragon’s, was not someone Jack could be a match against.

Looking at Jack, who was struggling in midair as if he was a frog held up by someone, Jack’s wife knelt down, crying out, “I beg of you, I beg of you to let us go… I beg of you…”

Kaunitz shook his finger, looked at the grim-faced Jack, who was like a beast, and said, “Don’t be so agitated. It’s just a finger. But if you don’t listen to what I have to say from now on… it wouldn’t be just a finger.”

Jack forced himself to calm down and he stared at Kaunitz as he asked, “What on earth do you want?”

“Just a small favor.” Kaunitz smiled and passed Jack a packet of medicinal ointment, saying, “After you guys go to the battlefield, if you meet Fang Xingjian, you must use this medicinal ointment on him.”

Jack froze and then bellowed furiously, “Don’t even think about it!”

Kaunitz did not say anything. He only moved his finger slightly to slit Alice’s arm, leaving a long trail of blood.

“No!” Jack’s wife knelt there, torn apart. She muffled her mouth with her hands and cried silently.

The muscles, vital energy and blood all throughout Jack’s body suddenly swelled up, his Reduced Force Field thrown out at full force. However, the powers coming from Kaunitz was like a huge of mountain suppressing him down, not giving him a chance to move an inch.

Kaunitz said calmly, “Jack, I’m not kidding. Or do you think there’s still another way out for you? Fang Xingjian is someone the First Prince has set his eyes on and the First Prince is the future king of the world. Do you think there’s a chance that the things he has set his eyes on will be able to escape?
