Ares raised his hand and gently guided kris’s incoming motion aside, effortlessly dissipating the force behind it. His large hand completely enveloped hers before he took a small step closer.

“Iris…”

A faint smile appeared in his eyes.

“You’re blushing.”

Before she could respond, he released her hand and stepped back, returning to a respectful distance.

“You take the master bedroom tonight. It’ll be more comfortable.”

“I still have a few things to take care of next door.”

“Get some rest.”

Without waiting for her reply, Ares left the room and quietly closed the door behind him.

As he walked away, a smile lingered on his lips, followed by a soft sigh.

The next morning, Iris checked on Emma as soon as she woke up.

There were no signs of any abnormalities.

Hearing the door open, Emma slowly stirred awake

She looked much better.

Satisfied, Iris took Emma’s hand and led her out of the room.

Just as they stepped into the hallway, they ran into Ares.

The moment he saw Iris leading Emma by the hand, an unexpected image flached through his mind-

Iris walking with their own child after they were married.

The thought startled him.

As soon as their eyes met, he quickly pushed it aside.

Still sleepy, Emma rubbed her eyes.

“Morning, Uncle.”

“Morning.” Ares smiled. “Let’s go downstairs and have breakfast.”

After breakfast, Iris asked, “When are you going to question the two people in the basement?”

“Right after we finish eating.” Ares looked at her. “Do you want to stay with Emma, or come with me?”

“il come. I want to see what’s going on,”

Deep within the dark, cramped basement, a scream suddenly echoed through the corridor.

“АААН!”

A moment later came Julian’s calm voice.

“If you’d cooperated from the beginning, you wouldn’t be suffering like this.”

Before Iris even reached the room, the heavy smell of blood filled the air.

She followed Ares inside.

The room was a complete mess.

Various torture instruments were scattered across the floor.

Jody nung suspended from chains.

Julian stood nearby holding a long whip lined with vicious barbs.

Even a light strike from it would tear flesh away.

Seven or eight bloody lash marks already covered Jody’s body.

The bucket of water beside Julian’s feet explained the scream they had just heard.

Cold water on fresh wounds…

The pain was unimaginable.

A faint sweet scent lingered in the room.

It came from Beauty’s Kiss, an extremely rare drug.

It was notoriously expensive and almost useless.

Its only effect was multiplying the pain from existing wounds by ten.

Nothing more.

Jody still wore the same face Iris had seen at the underground casino.

Even after an entire night of investigation, Julian hadn’t uncovered his true identity.

Every piece of information connected to him had proven fake.

“Julian.”

“Boss.” Julian turned toward them.

His gaze briefly landed on Iris.

Although he already knew she wasn’t an ordinary woman, seeing her remain completely unfazed by such a bloody scene earned even more of his respect.

“Miss Iris…”

“This guy’s stubborn. He hasn’t said a single word since last night.”

“You can leave.” Ares waved.

“Yes, Boss.” Julian nodded and stepped outside.

Ares walked over to Jody. He lifted the prisoner’s chin with two fingers.

Jody’s right eye was swollen completely shut.

Blood trickled from the torn corner of his mouth.

As his head was forced upward, he slowly opened his left eye.

“So…

“…it’s…”

“…Mr. Barclay.”

His voice was weak and broken.

Nothing like the confident man they had first encountered.

“Who are you?” Ares asked coldly. “And why did you approach Emma?”
