The bulky man narrowed his eyes while he could guess that these two must be from the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

Instantly releasing his Soul Force to suppress them, essence gathering undulations spread from the other two but then disappeared as he blinked his eyes in astonishment, 'So weak?'

The moment his soul force suppressed them, these two fell on their knees as if they were weak causing him to twitch his eyes with a flabbergasted expression on his face.

Initially, he had thought he should warn the others if these two in front of him were strong, but now, it seemed like there was no need for it.

"Hahaha!" With a burst of capricious laughter, he took a wide step towards them.

Lucia and Glyn had their expressions aghast. Before they could even withdraw, they had been subjected to the enormous pressure of the soul force, rendering them unable to move.

Although their cultivations were at the Fourth Stage of Essence Gathering Cultivation, their Soul Forging Cultivations were basically weak.

It can even be said to be null!

Nevertheless, Lucia and Glyn also knew that Soul Forging Cultivation was one of the weaknesses that inherently originated from humans.

If a person's soul is weak while the person faced with an opponent who has a strong soul, then the said person is inherently at a disadvantage. The wider the gap between the stages of Soul Forging Cultivation, the wider the disadvantage.

Their expressions couldn't help but fall into despair, however, Glyn had a peculiar expression on his face, as if he was waiting for something.

By this time, the bulky man stood before Lucia. He extended his hands and removed the unique robe that she wore and the next second, his pupils dilated.

A beautiful yet helpless figure appeared in his view, instantly invoking the lust in his hulking body. Steam came from his nostrils as his gaze traveled towards the other black-robed person thinking if it was also a woman, however, he heard the manly voice, making him lose interest.

"No!" Glyn shouted in rage!

The bulky man's gaze returned to the helpless figure leaning before him and recognized that the woman was Lucia, one of the main targets who were demanded to capture.

'Wait, If I violated her, wouldn't I be punished?' The bulky man considered but the lust in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

He had been told to watch over that brat Lucas while his buddies were above, enjoying the warm embrace of the women of the Royal Palace.

Such women of the aristocracy were something he had never experienced before.

He couldn't help but feel rage at that matter and had just left his post of overseeing Lucas, to find a woman in the prison, even if malnourished, to have this way with her, but instead, he got a young miss like existence under him which excited him to no degree while his face flushed as if he had been fed an aphrodisiac.

He pressed down on her as he held her shoulders, making Lucia release a fearful cry, "Aaahh!!"

Lucia's pupils dilated from sheer fear, however, rage covered her entire expression. She struggled to no avail yet was easily pressed down.

When her eyes caught Glyn's raging expression, a tear leaked out of her eyes as her lips trembled. She suddenly felt shame overwhelming her mind.

It made her close her eyes and at the same time, wanted to self-destruct.

Suddenly, extraordinary undulations spread blatantly which quickly stopped the aggressor, instilling fear in the latter's eyes.

Lucia's tearful eyes which shot open suddenly turned hopeful when she sensed the familiar undulations as she cried, "Father!"

*Boom!~*

A breeze flew by the bulky man as he turned his body. The next moment, his head exploded into a bloody mess as even the organs and the bones turned into meat paste.

Lucia's face was splashed with the blood, however, she displayed a joyous smile on her face.

She wanted to ask how her father was here but was able to guess at the next moment....

The man who suddenly appeared looked at the headless corpse beside him before turning to look at Glyn as a grateful glint flashed past his eyes, "You did well to keep our promise, Glyn."

Glyn inwardly heaved a sigh of relief before he stood up and exclaimed, "Leader!"

The person Glyn called 'Leader!' was none other than Daniuis.

However, Daniuis didn't reply but instantly grasped their hands. He instantly shot towards a direction in the narrow pathway.

The direction he led them to was where Lucas was kept captive!

======

In a wide room, there were a few female figures and a man on a bed.

The females had their clothes torn apart, revealing their curves and private skin.

However, they were crouched before the male, and their faces were all on his crotch, pleasing the man till his face was filled with ecstasy.

The bedsheet below the male was soaked with sexual fluids and even blood that had remnant vitality.

This man was none other than the leader of the Arc Song Mercenaries, Jawan.

While his face looked over the ceiling in pleasure, his two hands were caressing the silky hair strands of the princesses who made lewd sounds under his crotch with their tongues.

However, he instantly pushed them away and stood in the air naked as his expression changed. He suddenly sensed that extremely familiar undulations which blatantly spread and his nerves protruded out as he laughed out loud, "You finally appeared!"

Previously, he had felt some Adult Soul Stage undulations, however, since it belonged to his subordinate, he didn't bother to check.

But now...

He waved his hand and the robes of the Loseris Kingdom's King appeared as he dressed himself using it. Then a crown appeared in his hand which he then adorned over his head.

With a grin on his face, he left the room after which the princesses down on the surface proceeded to pleasure themselves from the effects of the aphrodisiac.

Once he arrived in the air space of the Royal Palace, at a certain surface point, the ground caved in and four figures shot into the air.

It was none other than Daniuis, Lucas, Lucia, and Glyn!

Seeing them trying to escape, Jawan boisterously laughed before quickly intercepting them, "Where are you trying to escape, Daniuis?"

Daniuis stopped and subconsciously placed the others to his back as he looked at the menace in front of him, "I should've killed you when I had the chance."

Time and time again, it told him how much he should've killed this bastard instead of recruiting him.

He couldn't help but think that he had made the greatest mistake in his life by letting this bastard into his Cloud Spring Mercenaries. However, he also knew that supporting Jawan from the back was the Tripartite Alliance.

This made him unable to make a move on Jawan. However, he did keep the other party under surveillance, observing his every move and reciprocating it with an equal action that would not agitate his backer.

Even if Jawan didn't exist, there would be another Jawan, hidden in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

The Tripartite Alliance had spies in every King Grade Power, even Peak-Level Sky Grade Powers, and for that reason, he didn't place too much thought on the Tripartite Alliance's prying as it did to all powers in their territory.

All he had to do was be careful against Jawan making a move on his family and he did indeed keep the latter under scrutiny, however, the Tripartite Alliance striking his Cloud Spring Mercenaries was something he did not foresee at all!

It was a blunder on his part to not consider that the Tripartite Alliance would make a move on him, on his Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

Nevertheless, their action on his Cloud Spring Mercenaries told him that the Tripartite Alliance was actively targetting him but he couldn't understand. He didn't have any treasures that would attract the attention of the Tripartite Alliance nor did he remember offending them for any reason!
