Kyrie calmly shook his head and repeated the exnation he had given to Nora to Samantha and Fiona.


    It was no surprise to Kyrie that both women were concerned about L.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    He could see that their closeness to Nora wasrgely due to L.


    As for Fiona, whenever she mentioned L, her face was filled with adoration, as if she was L’s little fangirl.


    And Samantha, when she spoke of L, the emotion in her eyes did not escape Kyrie.


    “Oh? So L was studying martial arts? No wonder…”


    Upon hearing this, Fiona chuckled with genuine happiness for L.


    She believed that L’s attention from the sect and the Vice Sect Master would make him even stronger.


    Samantha also showed understanding, but her inner doubts grew heavier.


    Following that, the two women yed with Nora until noon, then left Kyrie’s residence.


    In the afternoon, Fairy Peak!


    Samantha looked around to ensure no one was watching before quietly slipping into Fiona’s residence.


    “Samantha, what are you doing sneaking around like this?”


    Upon seeing Samantha, Fiona blinked innocently, her big eyes filled with confusion.


    Samantha pulled her into the room and used her true energy to shield their conversation.


    Then, she fixed her gaze on Fiona.


    “Senior sister, why are you looking at me like that?”


    Fiona was a bit unnerved by Samantha’s intense stare and asked with an awkward smile.


    Although a blossoming young girl, Fiona was only fourteen and although resolute,cked maturity due to her limited life experience.


    Samantha took a deep breath and asked solemnly, “Fiona, I have a question for you, and you must answer truthfully.”


    “Ah? Oh…”


    Fiona hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “What’s the question?”


    At this moment, Samantha was ny percent sure that something had happened to L!


    Upon his return, he had barely spent any time with his daughter before being summoned by the Vice Sect Master’s men.


    And then, he had not been seen for four days?


    What had happened to L?


    The mysterious words he had spoken upon theirst meeting now seemed to be a hint for her to find a way to take Nora and leave the Broken Pulse Sect!


    In that situation, L had chosen to imply those words to her, indicating that he saw her as someone he could trust.


    Samantha silently vowed not to disappoint him.


    So, she sought out Fiona, who also held positive feelings for L, to execute their n together.


    “Fiona, I have a question for you. In your heart, who is closer to you, L or the Broken Pulse Sect?”


    Samantha asked with a serious expression.


    Fiona’s eyes shed with confusion at the question.


    Although she felt it was a strange question, Fiona confidently said, “Although it may sound inappropriate, I feel that… L is closer to me!”


    Hearing this, Samantha breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “If there was something that could harm the sect’s interests, but could save L’s life, would you do it?”


    “Of course! If it weren’t for L, Ryan might have killed Fiona during the entrance assessment. If saving L’s life means anything, I would do anything.”


    Fiona stated decisively.


    Then, with a puzzled look, she continued, “But why would someone as capable as L need someone as useless as me to save his life? Samantha, why are you asking me this?”


    Samantha’s expression was filled with seriousness. “Fiona, can I… trust you?”


    Fiona was momentarily surprised but then firmly nodded, “Although I don’t understand what you mean, if it’s about helping L, Samantha, please trust mepletely.”


    “Good! Then we will take L’s daughter and leave the Broken Pulse Sect!”


    “We will take action tomorrow!”


    Samantha nodded, her tone filled with unwavering determination.


    …


    In the dim dungeon, the sound of instruments striking against a person’s body continued.


    Dewi wore a fierce and malicious expression as she continued to torture L in various ways.


    However, unlike before, her face no longer showed pleasure but rather anger and aggression.


    Indeed, torturing prisoners excited her.


    But when this prisoner stayed silent throughout, not once pleading for mercy, it began to dampen her spirits.


    And she had a task toplete.


    She had to quickly break L’s spirit and, at his most vulnerable, use the “Soul Extraction Art” on him.


    But until now, there was no sign of L’s will copsing!


    Even though he had been tortured beyond recognition!


    At this point, L’s body was covered in wounds, with not a single piece of intact skin remaining.


    Even his fingernails had been cruelly removed, and steel needles were driven into the fingertips where there were no nails to protect them.


    The pain must have been excruciating.


    Yet even so, this man did not utter a scream or plea, showing that he was still far from breaking down mentally.


    “I have to admit, I admire your resilience and will.”


    “But why endure this? If you’re in pain, you can scream!”


    “You can beg for mercy! I might be kind to you!”


    A forced smile appeared on Dewi’s alluring face, as she tried to coax a crack in this man’s unwavering spirit.


    “Pah!”


    With that, L spat blood onto her face, his eyes showing a hint of contempt.
