"Where are you taking me?" Emily was dragged forward by a group of patrol. She pursed her lips in fear and her tears fell. "Mom, I'm here to find Mom..."
"Who is your mother?" An armored man asked.
Emily did not dare to say.
They observed her and said, "Don't you think she seems a bit..."
Someone echoed, "Yes, it seems she has a problem in her mind."
"Well, like a child, always looking for her mom." Looking at Emily, another person asked, "Why haven't I seen her before? Is she someone from here?"
"I don't know. She may be a new servant."
"Yes, send her in. I think someone will come to take her later."
They sent Emily to a dark underground prison. Going down the stairs, there was only a lamp shining on the stone wall. Many people were locked up together, some of whom had white hair and some black hair. Those people were disheveled and unkempt. It was unknown that how long they had been prisoned here. Their bodies and clothes were extremely stinky. When they saw the newcomer, they all looked at her in surprise.
Emily was so scared that her body became stiff. She was almost thrown into an empty cage. Her back was against the wall, and there were iron railings on both sides of her.
The patrol locked the door and handed over the key to the guard then left.
The guard looked at Emily through the iron bars and asked, "How dare you to come here! Which family are you from?"
Emily did not understand what he was asking and dared not to answer. She just looked at the prisoners outside her cage with fear and uneasiness.
Receiving no response, the guard felt bored and did not say much. He then walked to the side, opened a cage, and pulled out a dirty man from it. He pulled out a whip from his back and began to whip him.
The man was writhing on the ground in pain, wailing and begging for mercy.
Emily was scared to tremble. The people on the side who were separated by the iron railings saw her so delicate, beautiful, and cute that they said to her, "Little girl, are you afraid? Come over and get closer to us. We can warm you up."
Emily covered her ears. The person outside was still crying on the ground. She shook her head and shouted, "Mom, I'm so scared, Mom..."
The prisoners chuckled, "You are scared and you are calling your mom."
Someone shouted, "Send her to our cage! Poor thing, see how scared she is. If we could accompany her, she will not be afraid."
Emily shivered in fear.
The dying man on the ground was dragged away by the guard. Then the guard opened the door of Emily's cage. He raised the whip in his hand and said to her, "It's your turn."
Emily looked at the whip that was still dripping blood. She stood up and leaned against the wall, trembling. But there was no way to escape. She screamed and fainted when the guard stepped in.
"She blacked out?"
Several guards looked over and confirmed that Emily had indeed fainted. Then, they pondered and said, "It seems that our way doesn't work to her. We have to wait for others to take her. If no one comes..."
The prisoners shouted together, "If no one comes, please have her for fun, and then give her to us. She's just a servant."
Indeed, no matter how beautiful Emily was, her black hair proved that she was a lowly servant.
"Well, since all of you have said so." The guards greedily looked at Emily's fair face. They swallowed and said, "Then you will have a share."
...
Kamron and the others hid in a courtyard among the tall buildings. There sat two pavilions. The walls of the long corridor were painted with images of ancient people drilling wood to make fire. The courtyard was filled with training equipment and shooting targets. There was also a set of armor on the side.
When Donna was brought here, her face was still pale in fright. Fortunately, she was extricated safely. However, Kamron raged when he noticed that Emily was not after her.
"Emily, where's Emily? Wasn't she staying with you?" he asked in disbelief.
"I asked her to follow you. Is she missing?" Donna answered in a panic.
Kamron held his head and swore, "What the..."
Considering people on the side, he bit his tongue and scratched his hair anxiously, "What should we do now?"
"Call that person for help," Ferne reminded him.
"Then the tribe will know we've come!" Kamron shouted anxiously.
Ferne glanced at Donna and asked in confusion, "Hasn't she known it now?"
They had asked her to save Donna, didn't it mean that she had known it and so did the tribe?
"We planned to come here in secret. We didn't want others to know. But we've exposed ourselves to save..." Kamron glanced at Donna, then continued, "The original plan was ruined. Perhaps someone over already got the news."
"Then what?" Ferne asked. He did not understand Kamron's worry. With just a little information given by Kamron, he came here knowing nothing, not even the purpose of the trip.
And he lost the most important Emily.
Kamron sighed, "Let me think about this."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Can you find Emily?" Donna asked worriedly.
She had gotten herself in trouble, and she did not dare to trouble Kamron again. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
"My Lord, there is another problem." Kamron had no choice but to take out his phone and make another call, "Emily. She's missing."
...
When the masked man appeared at the prison, the guards all stood up and asked gallantly, "Is Mr. Baron bored and wants to practice whipping?"
Zack shook his head and walked straight to a cage.
"Does she belong to Mr. Baron?" asked the guards.
Zack nodded.
The guard quickly unlocked the cage and said, "We have asked her for a long time, but she didn't say anything. We have our duty. Mr. Zack, please plead for Mr. Baron's mercy for us. She has blacked out before we started the interrogation. Oh, she wakes up. Come, your master is here."
Emily climbed up from the ground and looked around blankly. Her brain was still in pain. She felt uncomfortable hearing others talking noisily. She covered her ears. However, she was lifted by her arm.
She wanted to push him away when hearing him whisper in her ear, "I'll take you out."
Who was this person?
She looked over and only saw a mask. Through the mask, he was looking down at her. She could not see him clearly.. However, Emily felt that he was somewhat familiar.
