As he spoke, Watson wanted to hug Megan.
“Get away! Get away from me!” Megan continued to struggle to break free. She sobbed as she felt embarrassed and furious.
Bang!
Right at that moment, someone kicked the prison door open. Then, Ricky, who was in armor, walked in with a stern face.
Watson was stunned; he immediately stopped what he was doing.
Rick was a commander with Westrington’s Black Rider Army, and he was one of Donoghue’s men. Watson could not afford to offend him!
At the same time, Watson was a little panicked as well. ‘Damn, did Donoghue know I’m here, and so he told Ricky to come and catch me?’
Ricky scanned his surroundings. He saw Fanny unconscious on the ground, and he frowned.
The next second, Ricky looked at Watson and asked him coldly, “Cult Master Tucker, why are you here? What happened?”
Woo!
Watson sighed in relief when he realized that Ricky was not there to arrest him. Then, he smiled and said, “Commander Ricky, you should see this for yourselves. The prisoners here are very cunning. I was worried, so I came to take a look.
“Thank goodness; I came in time. Fanny, from the Emei Sect, managed to break free. She wanted to escape, so I knocked her out.”
Watson did not dare to tell his true intentions, but he was quick-witted. He immediately created a lie for Ricky.
‘F*ck!’
The Emei disciples were enraged. Watson was a despicable person, indeed; how dare he twisted the truth! He was there for the Jade Fairy Flute!
“I see.” Ricky nodded at Watson as he praised the other man. “Thank you for your efforts, Cult Master Tucker, but it is our responsibility to keep an eye on the dungeons; you don’t have to do it yourself.” Then, Ricky invited Watson to leave.
“You’re too polite, Commander Ricky. Then I shall take my leave.” Watson smiled and left quickly.
At that moment, Watson was still smiling, but he was depressed. ‘F*ck, I missed such a good opportunity to get the Jade Fairy Flute. I didn’t even get to experience Megan’s gentleness!’
However, Watson did not panic. Donoghue would bring Megan to Westrington, so he would have many opportunities on their way back.
