Whoosh!

As dawn approached, Zhuo Fan carried a pretty girl in each hand to his courtyard. The guards were taken aback seeing this steward locked up for ten-odd days, only to follow up with a knowing smile.

One even teased, “Steward Zhuo, last night must’ve been exhausting for you!”

Long Kui happened to pass by and saw him with two beauties. She frowned and rolled her eyes as she walked away with large steps. She ignored him while her mouth kept criticizing, “Men are all the same.”

Zhuo Fan didn’t care that they misunderstood and threw the two in his room. He closed the door and sat on a chair.

“Ow!”

Xiao Cui recovered from hitting the ground and rubbed her eyes, “Where is this?” But shouted when her eyes landed on the other woman, “Young miss, are you alright?”

The woman laid motionless on the floor, presenting her delectable assets to Zhuo Fan to see.

Smiling, Zhuo Fan moved his finger and she regained her freedom.

The woman rose in a flash and reached for her ankle. Her hand now had a dagger that rushed at Zhuo’s neck.

Yet, only a groan came as the dagger stopped an inch from his throat as she froze in place.

Zhuo Fan admired her with a sneer, “Nice skills, but that won’t work on me. I only invited you over to clarify some things. If you are honest, I will let you go.

“Also, it’s best if you don’t bare your fangs at me again.” Zhuo Fan took the dagger from her hand then spared a second glance to her shapely body, “Oh, we’d have to make sure you have nothing else hiding on you.”

Zhuo Fan adopted the frisking posture.

The woman turned beet red, “You dare?”

His hand stopped as Zhuo Fan looked into her eyes, “Whether I dare or not depends on you.”

Then his tone turned grave, “Who are you? What are you doing in Windgaze City?”

The woman ignored him.

Whoosh!

Zhuo Fan ripped a part of her clothing wrapped around her waist and threw it to the ground.

“Ah!”

With a shriek the woman’s anger exploded. Her eyes seemed to spew fire yet Zhuo Fan couldn’t care less.

Xiao Cui rushed over and smacked Zhuo Fan with her tender fists, “Bastard, how dare you do that to young miss!”

Zhuo Fan’s other hand moved with ease and some of Xiao Cui’s clothing fell on the floor. She was stunned for a second before shooting back and holding her clothes tighter with tears swelling in her eyes.

Zhuo Fan was nonplussed, asking in the same calm voice, “Who are you? What are you doing in Windgaze City?”

Gnashing her teeth, the woman bit her lips in answer.

Her clothing was torn to shreds before as Zhuo Fan repeated with coldness, “Who are you? What are you doing in Windgaze City?”

Zhuo Fan’s cruelty was akin to a heartless machine that brought fear to the woman’s heart. She finally relaxed her clenched jaw, “I am Blackwind Mountain Mountain Lord’s goddaughter, Lei Yuting. I have come to Windgaze City to end the Luo clan.”

“Why?” Zhuo Fan’s face was unfeeling as if it had nothing to do with him. This only worked to stoke Lei Yuting’s fear. This man didn’t look human in her eyes.

“Hell Valley will distract the guards while we sneak in.”

Zhuo Fan nodded satisfied. He knew this beforehand and asked this to shred her heart’s defenses.

The next question was something he wanted to know the most.

“What’s your connection with Hell Valley? What do they get by helping you?”

Lei Yuting was at a loss too, “I don’t know.”

Zhuo Fan kept his eyes on her, and when he found her answer truthful, “How are you in contact with Hell Valley? Who mediates?”

Lei Yuting’s eyes shook but her lips pursed.

Zhuo Fan had a guess but he wanted to hear it from her, so he ripped Lei Yuting’s shirt.

Her body was exposed to Zhuo Fan’s eyes in an instant, leaving only a red lace cloth to protect her final vestige of modesty.

Lei Yuting’s tears dropped without a sound. Zhuo Fan’s hand closed in on the red cloth as his voice dropped even lower, “This is your last chance to maintain your honor. If you don’t answer, there are more than a dozen craving men outside beside me.”

“Bastard!” Lei Yuting hissed.

“I’ll count to three. One, two…” The higher he got the closer his hand was to the red cloth.

Lei Yuting’s bit her lips, close to drawing blood while crying, yet no word came out.

“You’re quite brave!” Zhuo Fan nodded and was about to pull when Xiao Cui shouted in panic, “Don’t! I beg you, don’t bully young miss. It’s senior brother Yang who’s in contact with Hell Valley.”

“Who is he?” Zhuo Fan’s curled up an evil smile. Lei Yuting wanted to shout for Xiao Cui to stop, but Zhuo Fan’s robbed her voice.
