Chapter 442 - 392 : Operation (1/2)

Due to assaulting the Vice-Master of the White Specter Clan, Lucy was sent to the harshest place in the clan; The Winter Prison. It's a place where criminals of the sect are sent to. It's a freezing cold cell that will kill whoever is in there in a week or less.

There was close to no Nether Energy in that place and special chains are binding the prisoner, making him or her unable to use their energy. Basically, anyone sent there will most likely spend the rest of their short life there.

Thordan showed no sympathy to his daughter and stated that Lucy will remain there for three months. Not only that but she'll be sent to the Five Lakes Sect and receive punishment from them too. However, it's clear that he'll be sending her to her death.

Both Angelina and Hobson objected to these decisions but the three Peak Elders who witnessed everything were on Thordan's side. They didn't belong to his faction but they couldn't tolerate a clear breach of rules. No one is allowed to attack an elder, much less the Vice-Master of the clan, even if it was his own daughter.

Thus, Lucy was sent to the Winter Prison and locked there with no way out. Her high-stats and infinite Stamina allowed her to easily resist the coldness, which was different from the Yin power. This coldness seemed to be born from something else, something dangerous.

With no one here but her, Arthur didn't bother hiding inside of her body, he appeared next to his wife and wrapped his arm around her back while saying

”It's a much better place than that room, don't you think?”

In response, the woman snorted and retorted:

”Hmpf! So you can do whatever you want?”

He innocently waved his hand and added:

”I haven't done a thing…”

Then he grinned and continued ”… yet.”

Unfortunately, their conversation was cut short when a first visitor came, at last. It wasn't her sister or the butler but a young looking timid boy who was actually much older than he looked.

Teit's worried expression lessened when he saw that Lucy was unscathed. Though, he wasn't able to notice Arthur, who was still next to Lucy but in [Stealth].

”M-miss Lucy, please forgive me! I couldn't defend you.”

The boy bowed toward her and remained like that, waiting to be forgiven.

”It has nothing to do with you so you don't need to apologize.”

Lucy thought for a moment before asking

”How's the situation out there?”

As if he knew she'd ask that, Teit replied instantaneously:

”The Five Lakes Sect is pressuring the Vice-Master, demanding that he hands you to them. Fortunately, many Peak elders and almost all of the Regular Elders are against this, saying that it'll be demeaning to listen to the Five Lakes Sect and that they should wait for the Matriarch to leave seclusion.”

Lucy nodded her head but didn't say speak. Teit remained standing there, resisting the freezing cold and waiting for instructions. Although she was imprisoned, he's still her servant and it's one of the unwritten laws that if someone becomes a servant, they should follow their master to death, even if it means betraying the clan.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Woaaah!”

Saly gawked at the sight of the tower in front of her. To dizzying heights it rises, the gleaming spire, its tip threatening to pierce the blinding canopy. The tower was red and had four large symbols on it, each taking a big part of the humongous tower. From the lowest to the highest it went like this : ♥=>♣=>=>♦=>♠.

The girl stared at the tower before her eyes with a half-open mouth, unable to believe that such a thing existed.

”Amazing, isn't it? I, your uncle, and your father joined hands to build this beauty. It's by far the most advanced thing in the multiverse. It has its own System and is composed of 52 floors. Each floor is a world of its own.”

The Joker smirked as he saw the speechless little girl. He paused for a second before continuing.
