Freddie nodded. “Thank goodness that you stopped him in time or your plan and my identity would've been
busted.”
Sole Wolf poured a bucket of cold water on Kingsley to wake him up.
The moment he opened his eyes, he began to shout, “Who are you f*ckers? How dare you attack me! Do you know
who I am? Are you lot from the Black Muraco Clan? I'm telling you, I'm friends with the Saint of Black Muraco-”
“Shut up!” Sole Wolf gave him a kick. “Stop your useless threats!”
The kick was apparently quite powerful, as Kingsley felt all his internal organs had just been reshuffled. He promptly
kept his mouth shut.
“Tell us again where Brantley and David are being held currently.”
“I told you. Both of them were kept inside a crypt underneath the forest. It's a place where only I know where to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfind them. Who are you people? Why do you want to know where they are?” Kingsley glared.
Sole Wolf glanced at Freddie. “Hear that? The location that you two are describing is different. Who's telling us the
truth, then?”
It was then that Kingsley noticed Freddie was there too. “Freddie? Why are you here? Are you captured by them as
well?”
Freddie nodded.
“Wait a minute. If that's the case, then why aren't they binding you to a chair? Are you working with them, Freddie?
Did you betray the Netherworld?”
“I... have no choice but to do this.”
Kingsley roared, “You b*stard! You betrayed the Netherworld! You'll die a horrible death, traitor! The Netherworld
won't let you or your daughter go that easily! Just you wait, you son of a-”
Sole Wolf kicked him again. “Would you just shut up already? Say, how about I go into the forest first and check out
who's telling the truth, Zeke?”
Zeke nodded. “Seems like that's our only option.”
Sole Wolf glared at Kingsley and Freddie viciously. “You two wait here. Once I find out who's the one lying, I'll make
that one regret it.”
Freddie swiftly defended, “I swear on my life that I'm telling the truth, Mr. Williams.”
Just as Sole Wolf turned around, Kingsley shouted, “Wait!”
He knew if Sole Wolf really did go to check, his lie would be revealed instantly. When that happened, he would be in
a lot of pain.
Sole Wolf stopped and turned back. “If you have something to say, then just say it already.”
Kingsley muttered slowly, “If... If I tell you guys their exact location, will you promise me that you'll let me live?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA hideously creepy smile appeared on Sole Wolf's face. “So you're telling me you were lying earlier?”
Kingsley was so spooked that he couldn't say a word.
“Tell me where they're hidden. If the location you mention is the same as Freddie's, then we'll, of course, reward
the one who spoke the truth first and punish the one who speaks the truth last.”
Gritting his teeth, Kingsley glared at Freddie. “You tricked me, Freddie! You were lying about me getting my leave
and substituting for me! I can't believe you were just trying to use me to fish out the real location of where David is
hidden!”
Freddie smiled apologetically. “Sorry. I didn't expect things would turn out this way. I was really going to let you
return home to visit your family and avoid this whole mess entirely. It was unexpected to me as well that you were
captured by Mr. Williams.”
“What good does your apology do now? I'm going to murder you!”
“Enough! Shut your mouth!” Sole Wolf exclaimed. “So you're admitting that you're lying, right? Hehe, it's time for
you to have a taste of my special punishment. You should feel lucky. I don't show this to many people.”
