Grimm said, "Now I give you two choices. First, I kill you here and throw your body into the mass grave; no one will know I killed you. Second, I know you were recommended by the Dragon Knight Academy dean, and I want to make friends with him, but unfortunately, no one has introduced me yet. If you are willing to be this intermediary, I can let you and Paul go, and I'm even willing to return the Red Poison Flower to you. I can even pay your tuition fees for the years you study at this Royal Academy."
Ryan sneered, "Sorry, I only met the Dragon Knight Academy dean once and am not familiar with him, so I can't introduce you.Your real goal is to win the Dragon Knight Academy's votes, right? Because your dad has one year left in his term, and you want him to be re-elected."
He said, "Very clever, but unfortunately you refused.Then I have no choice. This cage is made ofpureiron, and as long as I don't open it, no one can get out. You can just starve to death in here, and when you die, I'll send your bodies to feed the vultures."
At this moment,Green suddenly saw a figure flash by the window, "Who is that? Catch him."
His subordinates immediately stepped forward.
The shadow was dragged out, and it turned out to beEdward.
Paul was helpless,"How did you end up here?"
Edward said, "Sorry, I wanted you to come rescuePaul earlier, but I always felt something was off,how could I have found the place where Paul was held so easily?So I secretly followed, but I didn't expect youto be captured too. I was supposed to get a message out, it's all my fault for being useless."
Edward kicked him hard in the face, and immediately Edwards pat out a mouthful of blood.
"What a presumptuous little bastard,should I praise you for being considerate?"
He grabbed Edward by the collar and said to him, "I am the son of the city lord. Do you think you can be my enemy? You were defeated by Ryan once, and now you willingly accept him as your master. You are truly suited to be a servant to others for life."
Edward bit Green's ear, causing it to bleed, and he screamed in pain.
He said, "Aren't you just relying on being the city lord's son? The city lord will be re-elected in a year. How much longer can you continue as the city lord's son? The city lord is cruel, greedy, and wicked. Surely no one will want to re-elect him."
Green kicked him on the head and pressed his head underfoot. Mud and dust were immediately stuffed into Edward's nose and mouth.
Green stomped hard on his head, he felt like his skull was about to shatter.
"You really are fearless, let me show you a new kind of pain."
Green grabbed the back of his collar and pressed him directly against the iron cage. Unexpectedly, the cage looked quite ordinary, but as soon as someone touched it, it would immediately discharge electricity, Edward trembled all over, blood flowed from his eyes and ears, and when he was about to pass out, Green dragged him backward.
A few seconds later, Edward slightly regained his breath, and was pressed against the iron cage again; he was nearly tortured to death.
Ryan shouted, "Enough,do you really think that no one will know about the crimes you committed?"
Green said, "Although my father can only be the city lord for one more year, as long as he is in power for a year, I am the city lord's son. What can you do to me? Let me tell you, the electricity in this iron cage is very strong. Being shocked for a long time, is enough to destroy a person's gifted bloodline and completely turn him back into an ordinary person. If I kill you all here today, who will know what I have done."
Ryan sneered, "That's not necessarily true."
To everyone's astonishment, he actually grabbed the iron cage with both hands and then forcefully tried to bend it apart.
Paul tried to stop him, "Don't, stop now, if you do this your gift will be destroyed. Do you want to become an ordinary person?" Ryan endured the pain and said, " No bleeding, no pain, how can you walk your own path and control your own destiny."
His whole body was scorched black from the electric shock, his hair standing on end, but he still didn't let go. Then he used his mental power again, and that supposedly indestructible iron cage was truly bent by him.
Ryan gritted his teeth,creating an opening just big enough for a person to get through.
Paul and Edward rushed over and knocked out the subordinates brought by Green.
Green's face was full of terror as he muttered, "This is impossible, this is impossible." He was so scared that he even forgot he could shift.
Ryan was covered in blood, looking like a demon who had just fought his way out of hell. He staggered over to Green, reached into his clothes, and took his storage pouch.
Red poison flowers, dragon blood fruit, they're all in here, right?
Green said, "You can't open my storage pouch; you need to enter a password."
Ryan said cruelly, "Yes, but I know that if the owner of the storage pouch is dead, it can be opened without a password."
Green fell to the ground, crawling backward bit by bit. "You can't kill me, you can't."
Then tell me the password.
Alright, I promise you, but you can't kill me. If you kill me, you'll be wanted.
"I'm not going to kill you now, but..." Ryan grabbed Green's right arm, pulled out a dagger, and slowly chopped off his arm. The process was painful, like cutting his flesh piece by piece.
Green kept screaming until he could no longer make a sound, only faint breaths remaining.
I told you, one of your arms counts as interest.
"I want to keep your life to kill you during the duel. If you don't dare to come, you're a coward." Ryan reached into the storage pouch, took out the stolen red poison flower, and threw it directly to Paul. "Eat this to heal."
Paul was desperate. "It's useless. Green just told you that if you're hurt by the electric shocks from this iron cage beyond a certain limit, your talent will be nullified."
I am already a waste, unable to return to how I was before.
Edward was very angry when he heard this, grabbed Green and put him into the iron cage as well. Listening to his heart-wrenching screams, he said, "How many people have you harmed with this iron cage? Seeing how skilled you are, this definitely isn't the first time."
Ryan said, "Letting you live until the duel was really too kind. You might as well die now."
