Chapter 491 - 440 : Cornered 1 (2/2)

The Matriarch was aware that Thordan was not a good father but she never expected him to stoop so low and threaten her to kill his daughter if she doesn't obey him. It was truly twisted and disgusting.

In the end, Katrina decided to comply and let go of Arthur. She let out a sigh and backed away while letting Arthur fly toward Thordan, who raised his other hand and warned him

”You better not try anything fishy, I only need to push it a little deeper and she'll die.”

Arthur nodded his head and deactivated all his active skills, returning to his original appearance. As she slowly made his way toward Lucy and Thordan, countless thoughts rampaged inside of his head.

A mutual exchange of glance between him and Lucy was enough to establish a simple plan. He knew what Thordan needed him for and he definitely won't remove the mark, in fact, he'll kill him. However, saving Lucy took full priority.

The only thing Arthur was wary of was the man behind Thordan, he was an Overgod but he seemed kind of different and very dangerous. The man seemed calm even in such a tense situation, he even smiled at Arthur while slightly bowing his head.

The distance between the two parties grew shorter and Katrina who was far away still hasn't given up. The moment Lucy is released, she'll make her move and dispose of both Arthur and Thordan.

After one full minute, Arthur arrived before the father and Lucy, he stabbed Makaze on the scorched ground then raised his hands while saying

”I'm here so how about you let her go?”

Thordan laughed and retorted

”When you properly do your job, I'll release her.”

He raised his hand, pulled his sleeve and revealed an ominous mark on top of his right hand.

”All I want you to do is remove this mark.”

Arthur frowned and said back:

”How can I trust your words? You either release her now or I won't do a thing.”

Thordan creased his brows and pondered for a moment before turning around and pushing Lucy toward the Overgod before saying

”Kill her if anything happens.”

The man nodded his head and put his head over her head and gazed at Arthur, who was pleased with this result. Nonetheless, he walked toward the fragile Thordan and raised his hand, acting as if he's really going to remove the mark.

Meanwhile, the people escorting Thordan all unsheathed their weapons and got close to Arthur, each of them pointing at his vital spots, ready to strike at any given second.

”Are you this afraid of me that resort to such extreme means? Hehehehe, I'm your 'son-in-law', how could I even think of hurting you?”

Arthur innocent smile and truthful words were but a comical act which Thordan didn't buy as he lashed out at the former:

”Stop babbling and remove the mark!”

Arthur's stretched hand suddenly shifted direction and gripped his victim's neck while the invisible Midolf wonderfully did his job and sent all the escorts flying away.

Still holding Thordan, Arthur glanced at the silent Overgod and said

”Release her or I'll kill him.”

In response, the Overgod unexpectedly shrugged his shoulders and replied:

”He's my employer and my job is to kill her if anything happens and not protect his life.”

Then, without any hesitation, the Overgod's hand released a dark light which struck Lucy's head, causing her to limply fall on the ground.
