Chapter 943 Lady Willow Is Far More Unfathomable Than You Imagine.



"Aragorn Grimal, are you willing to be my slave?"

Yes, with Aragorn's Cultivation falling down, Nux could now use [Slave Seal] on him.

Hearing that question, Aragorn glanced at Nux with a tired look on his face.

It was as if he was saying, 'Why would I even bother?'

Nux just chuckled.

"You know the Mystic Parasite can be used again, right?

Although it cannot devour your cultivation anymore, the pain will still be the same."

Aragorn's eyes widened in horror.

"I will give you another chance, Aragorn.

Are you willing to be my Slave?"

This time, Aragorn nodded desperately, not knowing that what he was signing for was something far more horrifying than the little Mystic Parasite's torture.

[Slaves: Aragorn Grimal]

A small smile appeared on Nux's face.

Melia, who knew what happened pitied Aragorn, Rune, on the other hand, still didn't understand anything.

"Now,

Why did you approach Lady Rune?"

Nux questioned.

Aragorn stared at Nux's face, many thoughts filling his head.

Was there any reason to answer honestly? Won't that just make things worse? What if they try to torture him again to get more information? Wouldn't simply blaming everything on Felix would do the trick? Then that bastard would be the one getting tortured instead.

With those thoughts in his mind, Aragorn replied,

"I-I wasn't lying before… I o-only approached Rune because I love-AAaAAAGgGGGGhhhHHHHHhhHHH!!!"

Midsentence, Aragorn screamed in agony again, this time, his screams were so horrifying that Felix, who could hear those screams from another cell could feel his blood getting cold.

To think his Sister would use such cruel methods and that too, against her own husband. Even if that man betrayed it, the fact that she loved him was still true.

Of course, what he didn't know what that even his Sister was surprised when she saw Aragorn screaming in agony like that.

Honestly, when Aragorn shook his head saying that he approached her because he loved her, she felt a little relieved, however, seeing his bound body trembling violently with veins popping out on his forehead as he screamed at top of his lungs, Rune was confused,

What happened? Did the Parasite act up again? Why does it feel like he was in even more pain than before?

Rune turned to Melia, wanting to tell her to stop the pain, however,

"I would be better if you stop lying, the pain would only continue on increasing if you don't."

"I AM NOT LYING!!"

"You wouldn't be feeling the pain if you weren't, that is how my ability works," Nux replied with a calm look on his face.

This time, Aragorn didn't even try to think about it, the pain was just too horrifying!

"WILLOW! IT WAS LADY WILLOW!! NOW ST-op… this…?"

He answered honestly and suddenly, the agonizing pain he was feeling all over his body stopped.

"As I said, you won't feel any pain if you don't lie.

You are my Slave now.

Do what I tell you to do, act how I want you to act,

And if you as much as even think about betraying me,

You will feel this pain again. I think you should take a look at

So stay loyal to your Master from now on, Slave."

Nux spoke with a cold look on his face.

Aragorn's body trembled in horror. Even Rune, who was standing right beside Nux was taken aback. Seeing that cold look in Nux's usual playful eyes…

"Anyways, tell the whole story now, in more detail," Nux ordered.

"M-My mother was Lady Willow's s-subordinate, w-when I was born, it was already decided that I was going to target Rune and win her heart, I agreed to that, and in exchange, I was provided with Cultivation resources, other than keeping eye on Rune, I didn't have to do anything and I could receive the best cultivation resources there were. I had nothing to lose.

After Lady Willow was declared dead, I thought I was free, however, she soon approached me, telling me about how Felix would approach me soon and how I needed to 'support' him. To this day, Felix still believes that I follow him because he convinced me but in truth, it was already decided by Lady Willow all those centuries ago.

I continued to keep an eye on Rune, this time, rather than reporting to Lady Willow, I reported to Felix and follow his orders, which were aligned with Lady Willow's goals to begin with."

"Wait…"

Suddenly, Nux called out with a frown on his face.

"So your job was to keep an eye on Rune and report everything to Felix?"

"That is correct."

Aragorn nodded in agreement.

Nux's frown deepened. "Then who was keeping an eye on Felix?"

"Leo."

Aragorn replied.

Rune's expression changed.

Felix's most loyal subordinate… was someone 'placed' to keep an eye on him…

"Not only Leo, Ginger Feline, Felix's wife, and the butler who serves Lucy Feline, his other wife, all of them keep an eye on Felix and each other.

Lady Willow is far more unfathomable than you imagine."

Aragorn revealed.

Nux narrowed his eyes.

"If there are so my people keeping an eye on Felix, then why are you the only one keeping an eye on Rune?"

"Rune had no use in Lady Willow's eyes,

There was no need to keep an eye on her movements.

In all honestly, Rune was destined to die.

It was Felix who decided to go against his mother for the first time and decided to kidnap her rather than killing her. Not wanting to antagonize him and keeping her 'loving mother' facade, Lady Willow agreed.

However, I am positive that once she achieves her goals, Rune wouldn't live. Lady Willow is a ruthless woman."

Aragorn spoke.

Rune continued to listen to his words, without any change in her expressions, of course, Nux and Melia could still feel what she was currently going through.

No daughter can be unaffected when her own mother is trying to kill her.

Rune just wasn't showing it.

"It doesn't make sense."

Suddenly, Rune spoke up.

"Leo was born in City Manor, completely loyal to the City Lord before he chose to follow Felix, why would he deflect to Mother's side?" she questioned.

"As I said, Lady Willow is far more unfathomable than you think,

Let alone someone who is 'loyal' to Felix, even Ivy, the woman the Lord loved, was planted by Lady Willow to seduce and later keep an eye on the City Lord.

Ivy was Lady Willow's subordinate."
