Chapter 250 Willing To Go To Hell And Back [Part 2]

Since Terence was now a Rookie, his body had become stronger than before.

He had even absorbed the Core of the Rank 4 Monster Prime Ape, giving him a boost in his physical strength.

When the first lash landed on Cristopher's body, a groan escaped his lips because Terence didn't hold back.

The place where the whip landed had torn Cristopher's shirt, showing a reddened skin at the place of contact.

Truth be told, Terence was very angry inside after seeing his Retainer choose to serve someone else.

In order to make an example to the rest of his Retainers, he planned to whip Cristopher until the chubby boy was crippled.

All the other members of the Leventis Family were also present in the room, including the Heirs and the geniuses of their family.

The lashing of the whip reverberated in the surroundings, but no one said anything. They only looked at the pitiful boy, who was clenching his fists tightly, as traces of blood appeared on his shirt.

Just as Terence was about to whip Cristopher for the thirteenth time, the doors of the Throne Room opened wide, making Terence pause his whipping.

There, Thirteen's Father, Gerald, swaggered in like he owned the place and walked toward the chubby boy, whose pitiful state made his gaze become as sharp as a hawk.

"Come, Cristopher," Gerald said. "Since you are now my son's retainer, I'm taking you out of this place. Why do you need to bow to this Branch Family? They're so not worth it, you know?"

Cristopher, who heard a familiar voice, teared up. But, he didn't raise his head because he didn't want Gerald to be punished for trying to save him.

Gerald's right hand was still in a cast, but he didn't hesitate to pick Cristopher up with his left arm, holding him securely in place.

"Well then, I'll be taking my leave," Gerald said as he turned around, carrying the chubby boy in his arms.

"Where do you think you are going?" Arthur asked. "That boy is only getting the punishment he deserves for leaving the Leventis Family."

"Shut up, Old Man," Gerald said before glaring in Arthur's direction. "This boy is Zion's retainer. Are you sure you wish to offend my son?"

"Oh?" Arthur arched an eyebrow. "Since when did you have the guts to talk back to me, Gerald?"

"Callista, stay out of this," Arthur stated.

"Fine," Lady Callista replied. "Gerald, I'll be living in your house from now on. I'll stay out of this place."

"Good decision, Mother," Gerald glanced at Arthur with a smug look on his face. "Let's go."

The two left without even giving Arthur a backward glance.

Terence, who was feeling aggrieved because Cristopher's punishment ended prematurely, looked at his Grandfather with a face filled with injustice.

"Grandfather..."

"Silence!"

Arthur almost roared in anger, making Terence and the other retainers of the Leventis Family cower in fright.

Michael adjusted his glasses and sighed in his heart. Everything had become a mess.

He had planned to stop Terence from killing Cristopher when the chubby boy's life was in danger.

Truth be told, he and his father, Arthur, didn't want to become Zion's enemies.

Both of them had recognized that the seven-year-old was an abnormal existence.

Due to Cristopher's firm stance, it was very easy for them to deduce that he had met Thirteen in Solterra.

Arthur stood up from his throne and walked out of the throne room, followed closely by Michael.

"Father, where do you plan to go?" Michael asked.

"I want answers," Arthur replied. "And I will get them."

A second later, both of them disappeared as they ran after Gerald, Lady Callista, and Cristopher, who were returning to their home near the base of the mountain.
