Chapter 333 The Trap of Alanic Foundation 3 (1/2)

”Can't you even manage this small thing by yourself, Master?”

Celestina, who appeared out of nowhere, proudly lifted her chin and complained. She then noticed Edward's gaze fall on her and she immediately frowned.

”Lowly creature! Who allows you to look up!”

Pa!!

”Ahhhhhh!”

Along with crisp slapping sound, Edward screamed fiercely. He shook his head and looked down. There was a trace of a long, bloody, whip wound on his face. A whip suddenly appeared in Celestina's hand out of nowhere.

”But doesn't it seems like you are more skilled in doing this kind of thing?”

Rhode crossed his arms as he coldly watched this scene. Celestina only snorted in disdain.

”Even so, there's no need to bother this noble lady just to handle this low-class b*stard. It will only dirty my hand. But… since it's Master's order, I can't help but agree to it. I hope next time you can consider the situation first before summoning me, Master.”

Hearing Celestina's answer, a glimpse of a sharp glare flashed through Rhode's eyes. However, Rhode decided not to dwell on this boring topic in the end. That's why he only pretended as if he didn't hear any complaint from her and once again looked at Edward.

”Now, I hope you can consider your current situation, Mr. Edward. I know what you are thinking, but don't forget, you're just a disposable dog of the Alanic Foundation. You and I clearly know the Senia family's position in the Munn Kingdom. Just for you alone, do you think that it is possible for the Alanic family to have the strength and guts to challenge the Senia family? I remember…” Rhode lowered his head as he quickly recalled the current powerful authorities in the Country of Light, then he continued. ”If I remember correctly, the Hurdbat and Yamia Foundation have been waiting for this kind of opportunity. For a half-human, half-orc descent like you, is the Alanic Foundation willing to take this risk? I believe you also know that your life and death are not their concerns. Then why are you being loyal to them?”

”Tch!”

When he heard Rhode's words, Edward lowered his head and snorted. But this time, he was finally being more obedient and didn't lift his head. It was just that his attitude was still very tough.

”Indeed, just as you said, this gentleman, I'm just a dog of the Alanic family, but so what? If I tell you guys, will you even spare me? Since both outcomes bear death, why should I satisfy your wish? Not to mention, I still haven't repaid the gift that you gave me.”

Hearing this, Rhode shrugged his shoulders and exchanged a strange glance with Marlene. Rhode was a little bit surprised, not because Edward was aware of his current situation, but it was because of his reaction. It was no wonder, taking into account that he had destroyed his happiness as a man smoothly. It was not surprising that Edward was not being informative. This was his 'revenge'.

However, it was as he had expected.

”Celestina, I'll leave the rest to you.”

Rhode nodded towards Celestina and walked to the side.

”Hmph.”

Hearing Rhode's words, Celestina snorted with dissatisfaction. Then, she stretched out and threw out some spiky thorns to pin Edward's body. After that, she swung her hand and whipped him hard.

”Ugh!!”

Followed by the screaming sounds, a bloody wound immediately emerged on Edward's body. Celestina's whip was also decorated with small, spiky thorns. This whip was an extreme torment to anyone. However, Edward was already used to similar torture. That's why he only screamed. Then he turned around to look at Celestina and revealed a smile.

”Hey, missy, try to use more power, I'm a hard nut. This level of torture is nothing to me…”

”How dare you!!”

Hearing these words, her expression suddenly sank. An invisible chill and murderous intent emanated from her body. Then the whip once again heavily fell on Edwards's body. Now there was a shocking scar left on his fragile body.

At this moment, Marlene couldn't help but to turn around and look at to the side. However, Rhode remained unchanged. He knew what Edward was relying on. Not only did he inherit his father's strength in 'that area', but he also inherited the orc's strong vitality. He might look weak and fragile, but in fact, his body was pretty strong. Of course, compared to Rhode's legendary bizarre vitality, he was still lacking a lot. But there was no problem for him to resist those ordinary whippings.

Rhode didn't stop Celestina's actions, only quietly watching this scene from the sidelines. Edward didn't know that Celestina's whip wasn't an ordinary whip. As a high-level demon, Celestina's thorny whip was made of the agony vines that grew in the depths of hell. When these agony vines touched one's skin, the pain would be doubled. This was also the most commonly used item when a demon was torturing the enemy. Players who had been beaten by this thorny whip in the game would get an 'extra double damage' debuff. In the beginning, the damage of this attack was not high, but this debuff would stay. After ten or twenty hits…. It was enough for the player to consider escaping from this attack.

So now, Rhode was only watching and waiting for the other party to give in. In Rhode's opinion, it would be just a few minutes.

Things were going according to Rhode's plan.
