Chapter 4196 Spare Your Lives Kai didn't utter a word. Instead, he cast a chilling gaze at Freya, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
Feeling the murderous intent in Kai's eyes, Freya finally shut her mouth, no longer daring to meet Kai's gaze. Even speaking on a moral high horse was no longer effective.
"You two better cclean. If I have to present evidence, there's no doubt you and your sister will meet your end," Kai said coldly.
Upon hearing that, Felipe immediately fell to his knees before Kai with a thud.
Freya glanced at Felipe, and finally, feeling helpless, she, too, knelt on the ground.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Chance, we were wrong, truly wrong. We committed such actions because we were blinded by greed. Please, we beg for your mercy, Mr. Chance. We won't dare to repeat this mistake. Thaddeus promised that once he captured you, he would share a portion of Demon Seal Alliance's hundred-year offering with us. Freya and I don't have a family, nor do we have anyone to rely on. Even though we joined Central Alchemist Guild, we were still at the very bottom of the hierarchy. We weren't even qualified to follow President Chance during this Alchemist Fair. Moreover, Thaddeus threatened us, saying that if we didn't comply, he would kill both of us here on Cauldron Peak. No one would notice if one or two people went missing. We were left with no choice but to comply. Please spare us, Mr. Chance!" Felipe continuously bowed his head, tears streaming down his face non- stop.
When Freya took in Felipe's demeanor, her eyes reddened, and she also started crying.
"You two are way out of line. Are you really going to betray Mr. Chance for your own gain? Mr. Chance was even kind enough to take you two under his wing. You two are simply barbaric!" Sigurd chided Felipe and Freya.
Since they shared the ssurname, Sigurd initially had a decent impression of Felipe and Freya. However, he never expected them to be this kind of people.
"Kai, we should kill the two of them. Keeping people like them around will only spell trouble sooner or later," Viola chimed in angrily.
Upon hearing that, Felipe was terrified, his whole body trembling as he continuously bowed in fear.
At that moment, Freya was finally fearful. Her face turned extremely pale, and she no longer held the air of moral superiority she once had.
"Considering you two were also forced to do this out of desperation, I'll let you off the hook this time." Kai gazed at the siblings kneeling before him.
In the end, he chose to spare them.
"Thank you, Mr. Chance. Thank you, Mr. Chance!" Felipe bowed with utmost sincerity.
Subsequently, he took Freya by the hand and turned to walk down the mountain.
"Where are you two headed?" Kai asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Cauldron Peak is far too treacherous. It's not a place for us siblings to linger. We should descend and leave this place. Besides, now that we're not exposing your location to Thaddeus, he won't let us off the hook. We should escape as soon as possible," Felipe said.
Kai continued to ask, "Do you think you two can escape this toxic mist?" Felipe fell silent. If they didn't have the detoxification pill, and without Kai's pill to absorb the toxins, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape this toxic mist by relying on themselves.
"You two might as well stick with me. You can still keep reporting our location to Thaddeus," Kai suggested.
"I wouldn't dare to do that anymore." Felipe hastily waved his hand.
He considered it a blessing that Kai was willing to spare them. There's no way we'll dare tip off Thaddeus E again.
"If I ask you to do so, just do as I say.
This is also a way to throw Thaddeus off guard and prevent him from suspecting you. Thaddeus has m el teamed up with many people, planning to leverage the power of Sky Slasher Sect and completely restructure the entire alchemist field in Ethereal Realm. I suspect many alchemists will die this time, so I must expose Thaddeus' conspiracy." The reason Kai allowed Felipe and Freya to keep sending messages was to lull Thaddeus into a false sense of security.
Once everything was set up, he would have Felipe and Freya inform Thaddeus. This way, he could catch Thaddeus in one fell swoop. X
