Fang Xingjian closed his eyes, incessantly continuing to circulate his vital energy, blood, muscles and bones to heal his wounds while simultaneously attempting to force out the poison.

However, the toxin had already entered his organs through his bloodstreams. How would he be able to force the poison out?

He continuously channeled his force to move his organs, promoting the flow of his vital energy and blood. He fully activated his Internal Healing, Internal Training and Elementary Berserkness physique in order to stop the aggravation of the poison effects on his body.

‘Use Internal Healing and Internal Training to slow down the movement of flow of the vital energy and blood, reducing the influx of the toxins, and then rely on the Elementary Berserkness physique to hold on… This should work…’

However, even so, Fang Xingjian’s current condition was as Kaunitz had said. He felt that his limbs were weak and his organs were failing. Not even mentioning battling, he was even starting to feel that breathing was difficult and he could not even maintain his Waves.

As Kaunitz finished his words, Jack walked over gloomily. His eyes looked very listless and he seemed as if he was a walking corpse.

However, seeing this, Kaunitz continued to be even more excited.

At the same time, he continued talking to the First Prince who was in him, “Your Highness, Fang Xingjian is truly stubborn, intractable, and extremely arrogant. If you do not pressurize him, he will not give in. Now that he is both physically and mentally weak, it’s the best time for us to put him down.”

Although the First Prince was aware that it was likely Kaunitz wanted to take revenge, he also knew that what he said was reasonable. Fang Xingjian was truly too arrogant and proud; they needed to pressurize him. That was why he simply watched on as Kaunitz took action.

Jack walked up to Kaunitz, dropped down on one of his knees and said, “Young Master Kaunitz, I’ve already done my job. The thing that you promised me…”

“Dont worry, both your daughter and wife are fine.” Kaunitz smiled and patted Jack on the head as if he was patting a dog. He looked toward Fang Xingjian and said, “Fang Xingjian, do you see this? This is your friend, the person whom you’ve given guidance for martial arts. However, with just one word from me, he’s able to die for me right now and he’s able to poison you.”

Seeing Fang Xingjian frowning, Kaunitz laughed out loud and said, “Fang Xingjian, do you understand now? Is talent important? Of course, it is, but a person’s future, a person’s prospects and a person’s limits had already been decided by his parents, his family and his background from the very moment he was born.

“A commoner will forever be a commoner. To rise up, they must serve the aristocrats.

“Our resources, our savings, our knowledge and legacies are all beyond your expectations. ”

Saying that, he walked up to Fang Xingjian and stomped down on his chest. Although Fang Xingjian was furious, he did not had the strength to retaliate.

“Just like right now. I can crush you as easily as I can crush an ant, but what about you? How can you retaliate?” Kaunitz shook his head. “You have no way of retaliating. Fang Xingjian, you’ve lost. I know you still can’t accept this, but it only shows that you are too naive. Those who win get all the power and authority while those who lose can’t say a thing. You must be unscrupulous to attain your eventual goal. Who would care how the win is clinched?

“Power, wealth, background… all these comprise one’s abilities. This world is not one in which you can do whatever you wish just by relying on your talent and acting alone.”

Just then, Kaunitz suddenly looked toward Jack with great interest and said, “You were taught how to how to mete out torture in the City Guards Institution, right?”

Jack frowned, but thinking of his wife and daughter, he replied honestly anyway, “Yes.”

“Hehehehe,” Kaunitz laughed. “Then do it on Fang Xingjian. I really want to see you applying torture on him.”

Jack said, “Sir, this is different from what we’ve said before.”

Kaunitz shook his finger, saying, “You’re in no position to negotiate with me. Get to it. Otherwise, I’ll sell your daughter to the brothels. Oh, that might not be the case. I heard that there are many aristocrats who like little girls as well as mother and daughter combinations. Hehe, I can ask around to see if there are any around me.

“How long do you think your daughter will be able to hold out? She is quite adorable. How long would it be before she’s broken?

“How long would it be before she turns into a lump of rotting flesh in the drains?”

Hearing Kaunitz words and threats, strong feelings of struggle flashed past Jack’s eyes. He kept clenching and releasing his fists and when Kaunitz finished his words, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. He shouted out,

“Enough!”

With that, he drew out a small knife and teetered toward Fang Xingjian as if he had lost all of his vitality.

“Haha,” Kaunitz laughed, then turned to Fang Xingjian. “Do you see this? This is the charm of power. Fang Xingjian, do you understand the gap between us?”

He patted Jack on the shoulder and continued, “Fang Xingjian, I’ll give you another chance. If you sign the Devil’s Note now and come under the First Prince, everything from before will be all bygones. If not, I’ll let Jack do his job.”

What would be more interesting than seeing Fang Xingjian’s underling pierce Fang Xingjian again and again? Kaunitz looked at Fang Xingjian with great anticipation, waiting for his reply.
