Chapter 142 (2/2)

“I’ve come here today to give you only two options. One is for you to agree to it and, thus, become one of the First Prince’s people from now onwards. Your whole family will enjoy great happiness and prosperity.

“The other option is for me to kill you. Your daughter and your wife will even suffer the most horrible hardships before they die.

“Which are you going to choose?”

As he said this, Kaunitz laughed out loud, shook his finger and said, “Jack, you don’t have a choice. When a weakling is confronted with someone in power, they never have the right to choose.” With that, he carried Alice in one hand and Jack’s wife in the other, and walked towards the shadows.

“If you leak out the secret, they will die. If you report this to the academy, they will die. If you meet up with Fang Xingjian but do not use the medicine on him, they will also die. No matter what it is that you do that puts us at a disadvantage, they will die.

“Furthermore, it won’t be a simple death. They will both be sold to the dirtiest brothels and be humiliated by the lowest laborers. They will eventually become lumps of rotten flesh which even dogs would not care for, and they will be tossed into the stinky drains in the commoner district.

“Jack, don’t think about trying to put it under wraps. The First Prince’s influence is something beyond your imagination.

“You classmates, your teacher, and even amongst the academy’s echelon, there are too many people who are with us.

“Jack, you don’t have any other choice.”

Jack wanted to chase after him, but the moment he lifted up his foot, he was pushed down to the ground by a terrifying force. Dropping to his knees, he could only watch slowly as his wife and child disappeared into the endless darkness. The muscles all over his body kept swelling up but were then suppressed down. So, his muscles and bones kept getting injured because of this competition of strength.

“There are people who do special checks Fang Xingjian’s food and medicine. They won’t give me a chance to use this medicine!”

He trembled as he looked in the direction Kaunitz had disappeared into and bellowed out with a maniacal and pained expression on his face.

“Haha, don’t worry. The moment the battle starts, you’ll get plenty of chances.”

As he said that, a piece of paper, exuding a strong sulphuric smell, landed before Jack. Kaunitz’s voice was weirdly bewitching as it rang out to Jack’s ears.

Jack said in astonishment, “Devil’s Note?”

“Hehe, do you think you have the qualifications to sign on the Devil’s Note?” Kaunitz snorted, “This is the Purgatory Contract the First Prince created himself. Sign it. We’ll be able to find out as soon as you give him the medicine. At the same time, if you are to divulge the secret, we’ll find out as well.”

“But the battlefield is so big! I won’t be able to find him!”

“Sign the contract. We’ll guide you to him.”

…

After applying the medicine, Fang Xingjian immediately felt that his wounds were much better. The effects of Netherworld Valley’s medicinal ointment were much better than he had expected them to be. His failing organs once again felt full of vitality. Even the minute blood vessels and nerves, which he could not heal by channeling energy over, were all starting to heal as well.

He let out a deep exhale that had the stench of fresh blood. It was from all the blood clots which were now scattered.

Looking at how Fang Xingjian seemed to be much more relaxed, confusion flashed across Jack’s face.

Just then, a sharp shriek rang out. Jack suddenly quivered, shouting out, “He’s here! Mumukeya is here!”

…

At the same time, on the other side, Kaunitz suddenly broke into a smile as he watched the scroll on his palm burn up despite there being no fire.

Cynthia asked, ”After following them for so long, is it finally done?”

The next moment, Kaunitz, Rebecca, Cynthia and Cynthia’s husband all suddenly sped up, heading toward Fang Xingjian who was two kilometers away.
