“You—”
Susan bit her lips as she glared at Donoghue. Then, she snarled at him. “You had better kill me. Otherwise, I will break you into pieces.”
Susan and Zoran had been married for ages, and they respected and admired each other very much. Susan had lost all her hopes and desire to live after her husband died. Her heart was seized by a strong sense of repulsion and hatred.
“Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!”
Donoghue teased Susan when he saw her suicidal despair. “So, you really want to go with your husband, huh? If that’s the case, then I shall fulfill your death wish!”
Donoghue raised his right hand slowly, and at the same time, his internal energy surged.
Suddenly, the entire prison was like an ignited explosives warehouse; everyone was frightened as they shouted.
“Donoghue, stop it!”
“Come to me if you’re capable!”
“You’re an animal! An animal!”
Donoghue ignored all the angry remarks that were thrown at him. Just as his hand got closer, Susan’s tears streamed down her face. She glanced at Zoran, who laid nearby, as endless hatred and despair consumed her.
‘Hubby, I’ll be with you right away.’
Suddenly, Donoghue withdrew his palm and sneered at her, “You want to die? Bad news; I won’t let you die so easily!”
Then, Donoghue pointed at Florian, who was next to him. “Florian, I need a favor!”
“Sure, Mister Prime Minister, please tell me what it is.” Florian approached Donoghue with a smile on his face.
Donoghue’s lips slipped into a sly smile, and he said slowly, “Spread the news that I’ve killed Darryl’s godfather, Zoran, and I’ve captured his godmother. If he doesn’t want anything to happen to this charming woman, then he should go visit me at Westrington with Zhu Bajie as soon as possible.”
Donoghue had wanted to kill Susan earlier, but he could not bring himself to do it because she had looked so stunning.
More importantly, Lord Kenny had only promised to give him two people, and he had killed one of them. If he were to kill the second one, he would have nothing to draw Darryl out of hiding.
Susan was utterly disheartened. She tilted her head and smiled at Sara. “Take good care of yourself when we are not by your side, Sara. Remember, no matter who comes in and interrogates you for Darryl’s whereabouts, don’t say a word.”
“Mother, no!” Sara was about to collapse as tears streamed down her cheeks incessantly.
…
Meanwhile, on a hillside northwest of the palace in North Moana.
Megan and many of her followers, as well as Darryl, Celine, and Queenie—who had been taken hostage—finally arrived in North Moana after several hours. The North Moana Palace stood opposite the hill.
The weather was not pleasant, and the sky was gloomy—just like Darryl’s mood.
“The North Moana Palace is heavily guarded. We’ll risk exposing ourselves if we go in a big group. The best way to go forward is for the two of us to sneak into the palace to steal the bow.” Darryl made the suggestion as he looked at the Royal City.
Mmm!
