21 Break! (2/2)

She category refused.

”That's not for you to decide!”

The eunuch's hand formed a claw that snatched Jasmine's neck and hauled her into the air.

”Needing to send his goons to obtain a woman. The sixth prince is really…brilliant!”

She spat, and although her neck being squeezed caused her to quickly lose strength, she fought hard to free herself from the eunuch's grasp.

But to no avail.

The eunuch sneered, spun and tossed her onto the ground. Jasmine tumbled in a loud thud, and her entire body ached.

”Since you don't cherish yourself, why should I?”

”Hahaha…is the emperor really that much of a cuckold to allow his son to act unruly in his harem?”

”You!”

The Holy Emperor was the only man allowed to touch the women of the inner court. What they were doing was not only illegal but punishable by death. Naturally, nobody cared about the disappearance of a low-ranked palace maid every now and then.

In any case, within the inner court, people disappeared all the time…

Jasmine dragged her body from the ground and stood up straight with a defiant stare and fists balled up for a fight.

”Me what? Did they not only remove your balls but also nail your tongue?”

Although she was weak and unable to escape. Although the situation was hopeless, she would fight with all she had!

Her teeth were now planted on her tongue, and she was ready to bite it off if the need arose.

”Impudence!”

The eunuchs' pressure once again directed at her. She was about to stagger when suddenly, the pressure vanished and was replaced by a warm hand at her back.

The tall figure of a jet-black haired godlike man appeared at her back, and a warm stream of energy spread from his hand to alleviate her pain and mend her wounds.

”Y..you?”

She stuttered in surprise.

”Shush. Now is not the moment to talk. Let me first treat you.”

Konrad gently replied with his gaze solely focused on her, as if unaware of the eunuch's presence.

”Boy, this isn't a matter you should meddle with. Seeing that we both are eunuchs, and I am your superior, I advise you to step aside!”

The eunuch inferred Konrad's status from his clothes. But Konrad spared him no glance which only served to infuriate him.

Why was it that all those low-ranked peons were looking down on him today?

”Since you don't value your life, die!”

The eunuch snarled as he pounced toward Konrad with his bared claws.

*CRACK*

Konrad's left fist crashed into his face, causing his bones to crackle, his skull to fragment, and his body to fly through the night sky and crater the faraway ground. His blood spurted from both the front and the back of his shattered face, and life no longer existed within his body.

”Are you feeling better now?”

Konrad asked in the same gentle tone with his right hand still pouring energy into Jasmine as if nothing had happened.

”Y...yes. Thank you.”

She replied, with a blank stare.It was the first time in her life she had seen such a terrifying punch. The ferocity contained within was too stark a contrast with Konrad's gentle gaze.

But immediately, a group of five figures dressed in head eunuch clothing encircled them.

”Who the h…?”

”Wh….AAAAAAARGH!”

*BANG*

Before they could finish their inquiry, Konrad made a grasping motion, and vast telekinetic power wrapped them, compressed their bodies and bones, and ground them into meat paste in a feast of blood and gore.

”That's good. Fortunately, we both have good fortune. Otherwise, the rest of my life would have been full of regret.”

He declared while stroking her cheek. And he wasn't lying. While crossing the alleys back to his den, a female sounding mental message echoed within his mind, only saying a few compelling words.

”She might not survive the night.”

Then it gave him a direction, and he shot toward it.

But although he looked at her with a gentle, reassuring gaze, his heart boiled with rage.
