Chapter 403: Chapter 260 Silf Is Betrayed (2)_2

The extreme thinness also rendered these metal wires astonishingly sharp.

The two sisters were not merely proficient with daggers; they mastered all weapons capable of easily ending a life.

Poison, crossbows, daggers, short swords, thin silk, hidden weapons—they excelled in them all.

In an instant, a group of demons instinctively stayed still, their crimson eyes clearly observing the marks on their necks.

"Who are you?"

The leading Pig Head Man issued a low, suppressed roar.

"You’re too loud." A hint of cruelty flickered across Aili’s fair petite face as she lightly flicked the thread with her pinky nail.

With a swish, the Pig Head Man who had spoken had his neck sliced through, and his large head dropped to the ground, rolling far away.

Blood spurted wildly from the neck area as the headless body fell to the ground, with the pungent smell of blood permeating the surroundings.

The remaining dozens of Pig Head Men were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to move an inch.

Aili’s voice rang out in front of one Pig Head Man, "Tell me, where is Ronald imprisoned?"

The questioned Pig Head Man shivered, his plump body slowly wriggling. Hesitation was clear in his eyes.

The matter of Ronald was a highly confidential secret in Lord Luo Meng’s territory; revealing it would undoubtedly draw the Seventh Prince’s ire.

In his hesitation, Aili flicked her finger again, and another round head fell to the ground.

Although they were demons, this petite girl did not hesitate to kill, indifferent even as blood splashed on her, her fair childish face adorned with a hint of scarlet, acquiring a bizarre charm.

Beneath the black and white gothic skirt, her slender legs wrapped in pure white stockings were stained with specks of scarlet, blooming like plum blossoms.

Aili moved in front of the third Pig Head Man. Her voice was as crisp and cute as ever, and even carried an inexplicable sense of innocence, "You’ll tell me, right?"

Seeing two comrades already beheaded, and with the metal wire that could sever his entire neck any moment, how could he hesitate?

Betraying Lord Luo Meng might mean death!

But now, if he couldn’t answer that invisible girl’s question immediately, his own head would be the next to fall.

"I, I will tell..."

"Ronald is imprisoned in the Seventh Prince’s palace," the Pig Head Man quickly said.

Although this was also the conclusion Silf, Aileen, and Aili had deduced, since he wasn’t here, he must be at the other location.

But he obviously wasn’t good at lying; his rapidly shifting eyes had completely betrayed him. Aili’s brow slightly furrowed, and her finger flicked gently again, and the third Pig Head fell.

"My patience is gone. I want to know everything about Ronald. The next person who can tell me the answer will live, and the rest will die..." Aili coldly issued her final ultimatum.

Meanwhile, her delicate white wrist began to gently pivot, and the dozens of Pig Head Men felt the wire tightening around their necks, slowly slicing through their tough skin, with beads of bright red blood seeping out.

Ultimately, these Pig Head Men could no longer bear the fear of impending death and emitted piercing shrieks: "I... I’ll tell..."

As the first Pig Head Man spoke up, the rest immediately began to clamor, fearful that their comrades would snatch the chance to live.

The ordeal that Ronald had endured here unfolded before Aileen, Aili, and Silf.

"Lord Luo Meng had Ronald captured... locked in a cage for all demons to see."

"Ronald also entertained thousands of robust demons, nearly played to destruction..."

"Any demon, as long as they paid, could have an intimate encounter with a member of the Hero Team."

"There were even many demons from other places who came just to taste Ronald’s flavor."

"Ronald was constantly begging for mercy..."

"It’s so pitiful, even I as a demon cannot bear to watch it."

"It seems Lord Luo Meng had made some deals with an entity named Horus; it’s said all these were done according to Horus’s demands..."

Luo Meng was a bigmouth; though the trade was very secretive, he still couldn’t help boasting to some of his close subordinates, and evidently, their mouths weren’t very secure.

Listening to these Pig Head Men’s words, Aileen, Aili, and Silf each trembled, their faces turning pale as they finally understood what Ronald had gone through in recent days.

It was the cruellest of tortures, a hellish nightmare.

For an immensely prideful gentleman, this was even worse than killing him.

Horus, who the hell was that damned bastard?

What grudge did he have against Ronald to torment him using such cruel methods?

"Where is he now?" Aileen couldn’t control herself, her voice chilling to the extreme as her petite body trembled incessantly.

Every time she thought about how Ronald had told her to run first while he suffered such brutal torment, Aileen couldn’t help wanting to slaughter every single demon, leaving none behind.

Such filthy creatures had no right to exist in the world; they were nothing but trash.

"Dead..."

"Rumored to have been played to death long ago, his body dumped in the woods."

"By now, it’s probably been gnawed clean by wild beasts."

Buzz...

As these words came out, the three women’s faces turned even paler.

Ronald... was already dead?

Aileen’s thoughts seemed frozen, her heart felt like it solidified, and a murderous intent surged wildly in her chest.

"Lord Luo Meng, let’s not spread the news and pretend Ronald is still alive to lure other members of the Hero Team into rescuing..."

So, this was the truth.

Rescuing Ronald had been a trap from the beginning.

That fool Luo Meng, when did he become so clever?

"What about Ronald’s belongings? His storage ring?" Aili’s voice trembled continuously.

Ronald was already dead, but at the very least, shouldn’t they bring back Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment?

"All the treasures, naturally, are now with Lord Luo Meng."

Dead silence.

Aileen and Aili, dressed in gothic dresses, seemed somehow out of place in this environment, exuding an eerie and horrific air; their cheeks grew paler, like corpses long deceased, or ghosts filled with intense resentment.

Ronald had endured inhumane torture here.

His body was thrown into the woods and devoured by beasts and insects.

Even Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment had been stolen.

And that Luo Meng himself was sufficiently strong, surrounded by elite demons, an existence they could not contend with. This meant that beyond the tragedy of a companion’s death, they gained nothing.

Aili could not accept this outcome, suddenly uttering a deep, suppressed wail from her throat, her hands fervently falling.

The next moment... ssshhh ssshhh ssshhh...

A strange sound connected in a straight line, and dozens of heads were nearly simultaneously severed.

The ground was instantly covered with thick blood; headless bodies crowded chaotically in the pool of blood, their bodies still twitchingly spasming.

Though Silf also felt sad, it was not as intense as Aileen and Aili’s. She took a breath, "We should head back first; this matter requires careful planning."

Aileen and Aili accepted Silf’s advice and left the dungeon with her.

Just like when they arrived, they kept their movements as quiet as possible.

Everything was normal.

But suddenly, for some reason, a demon seemed to sense something; it saw a faint outline and smelled a slight human scent.

Its large eyes instantly bulged, and its sharp claws instinctively slashed at that outline.

Slish!

Almost at the same time, Silf’s figure appeared.

Her two small hands, originally clenched tightly, suddenly opened.
