Jared stared in despair at Josephine and Lizbeth with gritted teeth, not quite knowing what to do.
“Save yourself, Jared,” Josephine shouted. “Run!”
“Jared, they won't let us go even if you give yourself up,” cried Lizbeth. “Just kill me and escape this place. I would rather die than be violated by that brute.”
It would not end well for me to fall into the hands of someone like Kristoff. Besides, he has already made his intentions toward me amply clear. Kristoff's features hardened. With just the tiniest additional exertion of force in his grip, Josephine and Lizbeth suddenly began sweating profusely in pain.
“Stop!” Despite his fury, Jared did not dare take too big of a risk.
He was unsure that he would be able to kill the Top Level Senior Grandmaster with one blow. After all, Kristoff was second only to Martial Arts Grandmaster being at the peak of his strength.
If Kristoff could not be killed with one blow of absolute certainty, then Josephine and Lizbeth would be in even greater peril in Kristoff s hands.
Kristoff sneered. “Have you figured it out yet?”
“I'll come with you,” he said, ashenfaced, as he sheathed the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand and placed his hands on top of his head. “You can do whatever you want to me.”
Jared has no other choice but to obey Kristoff s words. There was nothing he could do.
“Jared, no!” Josephine and Lizbeth shouted desperately.
Jared did not seem to hear them as he walked slowly toward Kristoff.
Kristoff felt even smugger at the sight of Jared's meekness.
“Sylvester, we won't be able to avenge Xander if this guy gets taken away by the Shalvis family.”
