Liam was slightly surprised. He did not expect the weak and child-like Amber to show such


    a tough side. He immediately put away the dagger and said firmly, “Don’t joke around like


    that. Aren’t you worried that I might actually take you as a hostage?”


    Amber was very naive. Her eyes were pure and clear as she said, “I think it’s worth it even if


    you hold me as a hostage in exchange for your beloved woman!”


    “Silly child. You should know your worth.” Liam would never use such an immoral tactic,


    even if he was left with no options.


    He looked around. Although those two guards had been sent away, they were still following


    them from afar. All the exits were guarded too, so it would be practically impossible to save


    Renee under the guards’ strict monitoring.


    “Gem… Amber… Forget about the hostage n. Can you take me to the dungeon to see my


    girlfriend?” Liam was helpless, and this was the only way he could think of. Amber was the


    only one on his side that had a bit of status in the whole fort.


    “The dungeon is very dangerous, so my father prohibits me from going there… but if you


    want to see her, I can take you there.” Amber nibbled her lip nervously as she made up her


    mind, then led Liam to the dungeon. She knew her father would be angry and punish her,


    but she wanted to do whatever she could to help Liam.


    The dungeon was located in a very remote ce, and was guarded all around. Generally,


    one would only be locked there if Benjamin wanted to sentence them to death or sell them


    to others.


    Currently, both Renee and Joanne were locked in there, so their fates were imaginable…


    It was a dark night. The two guards were slightly tired, so they started chatting idly.


    “Did you hear? Master ns to tear Joanne into pieces and sell her to someone else.


    They’lle and get her tonight.”


    “Ah, how sad! She’s pretty, but she’ll soon be torn into pieces. What a pity!”


    “It’s not a pity at all! If she didn’t betray him, she might be his wife now. She’s ungrateful. It


    serves her right!”


    Liam happened to hear their conversation, and his eyes widened in shock.” Did I hear right?


    Your father wants to sell Joanne’s body parts?! Isn’t she his only female disciple? That’s too


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    cruel!”


    With her head lowered, Amber grasped the hem of her clothes awkwardly.” Joanne is


    indeed very pitiful. She did the right thing and didn’t want to conspire with my dad… I tried to


    beg for mercy for her, but no one can change my dad’s mind once he decides on


    something.”


    At the same time, two people inb coats and masks walked into the dungeon, carrying a


    toolbox.


    The guards immediately blocked their path. “Show me your pass.”


    The two people showed their passes to the guards, and were allowed to enter the dungeon.


    “Be quick. The items have to be delivered fresh.” The guards ordered them.


    Meanwhile, Liam was terrified.


    He had long heard that Benjamin was ruthless, but he had always appeared amiable. He


    even took Liam in as his disciple and taught him martial arts. As a result, Liam assumed that


    Benjamin was not that bad.


    Now, it was clear that the man was actually a ferocious demon who had no qualms about


    killing others!


    The most horrible thing was that Benjamin had admired Joanne greatly in the past. She was


    the one exception-his only female disciple.


    Currently, Joanne was forced to have her body parts sold just because she disagreed with


    Benjamin’s cruel ways. How horrible!


    “They’re so used to this. Will Boss be…” Liam’s heartbeat quickened, and he did not dare to


    think about it.


    “No, I must save them. I can’t dy any longer!’ Driven by panic, he rushed towards the


    entrance of the dungeon. Naturally, he was stopped by two guards.


    “The dungeon is a restricted area. Please show me your pass.”


    “I don’t have a pass!” Liam snarled coldly, “My girlfriend is in there, and I’vee to get her


    back.”


    “You don’t have a pass but you want to barge into the dungeon without permission. It looks


    like you’re an intruder. Well, don’t me us for being harsh.” The guards raised their


    weapons and aimed them at Liam’s head. Sometimes, there were people who tried to barge


    into the dungeon like Liam was doing. It was usually quite easy to deal with them-the guards


    simply pulled the trigger, dragged the body away, and threw it aside.


    “What are you doing? Let go of him!” Amber quickly rushed forward and stopped the


    guards.


    “Miss Jenkins, we’re just doing our duty. Please cooperate,” the guards said solemnly. “You


    should be aware of the rules in the fort. Anyone who wants to enter the dungeon must have


    a pass. Even if it’s the master, we have to kill him if he tries to barge in without a pass.”


    Benjamin had enforced that rule when he first established the fort. Their power and


    influence had grown because of it, and thus, the fort had be a dangerous spot that


    ordinary people dared not approach.


    “Who told you I don’t have a pass?” Amber took a pass out of her bag and handed it to the


    guard. “Look at it carefully… That is my dad’s exclusive pass. I can go anywhere with this,


    and I can give any order I want. If you disobey me, you’re disobeying my dad.”


    “Umm…” The two guards were in a dilemma. The pass was indeed the most powerful pass


    in the whole fort. Guards like them, who had only a small status, had no right to doubt it, so


    they could only obey her. They put down their weapons and let Liam and Amber enter the


    dungeon. Right after that, they reported the incident to Benjamin.


    When Benjamin’s four foster sons heard that, they became so angry that they wanted to


    hack Liam into pieces.


    “Master, Liam is way out of line. How dare he instigate Miss Jenkins to steal your pass! If


    this goes on, she’ll even give up her life for him!” Mateo burst out furiously. He didn’t hate


    Liam, it was just that he had a crush on Amber. He was worried that she might do something


    more outrageous under Liam’s orders.


    However, if Benjamin lost his temper, he might even punish his daughter.


    “Miss Jenkins is a pure and kind woman, so she can’t be with a cunning man like Liam.


    Let’s forget about our past friendship and hack Liam into pieces and sell him to others!”


    Danny, Benjamin’s eldest foster son, suggested impatiently. He always thought that human


    lives were worthless. Naturally, disobedient people had to be eliminated.
