Chapter 340: Severed Fingers Gang

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bella and Rose looked at the ugly men in front of them, their faces wet with tears.

They had experienced so many ups and downs in just two days. One day earlier, some evil humans had kidnapped Princess Alice because they had not guarded her properly. As a result, they met a kind young man named Watson. He had let them go, but the goddess of luck did not seem to care for them. A few short moments after that, they were captured by another group of people.

They were restrained in anti-magic shackles. They had less than one-tenth of their strength left, and they were about to be humiliated.

“Why are you crying?”

“This is Lord Glenn, often known as Mouse Tail; he is one of the Severed Fingers Gang leaders. He would not have kept you here if you were ugly. He would have sold you to other noblemen, and they are not as kind as he is. They will torment you with torture equipment after violating your bodies, and then they will hack your bodies into pieces and feed you to the dogs.”

There were four burly men in front of Bella and Rose. A middle-aged man with shifty eyes and dirty gray hair stood behind them. He was looking back and forth between the two women, his eyes brimming with hunger.

All of them were missing a pinky, whether it was the four burly men or the pitiful man behind them.

“Don’t worry; I won’t do anything to you as long as you cooperate with me obediently! If you do a good job, I might make you my concubines if I am in a good mood. You are well aware that you are only a pitiful mermaid. Giving you such a high status is part of my goodwill.”

The man named Glenn picked up a glass of red wine from the table. Even though he only had four fingers, his movements were the same as an ordinary person’s because he was a thief before he joined the Severed Finger Gang—flexible finger movements were his innate talent.

After joining the Severed Finger Gang, he relied on his own wit and professionalism to quickly climb up to the small upper echelon of the group. He had hundreds of subordinates under his command.

He was very happy that day because he received news from a guard at the city gate that the Ptolemy family’s second young master had a conflict with someone, and Casey’s magical ship had sunk. Their items on the vessel were also lost, which enraged the young master.

Glenn knew that any goods that could enrage the Ptolemy family must be quite valuable, so he immediately assembled his men to begin a search beneath the city’s canals. He discovered several mermaids in a sewer near the sunken ship, as expected.

A young mermaid with a crown was among those mermaids. Glenn’s years of slave-trading expertise taught him that the crystal crown symbolized sea folk royalty. Only members of the royal family or those of royal lineage could wear one. He knew he had hooked a big one right away. He took the mermaids to the Severed Finger Gang at the Crystal Palace. As a reward, the higher-ups gave him 10,000 gold coins.

So, he was ready to enjoy himself in the Iris Flower Tavern, which also belonged to the Severed Finger Gang.

“You despicable humans, even if I were to die, I won’t let you have me.”

Bella, one of the two mermaid guards, assessed the people in front of her and the environment in the room. When she realized there was no way out, she cursed in the sea tribal language before she tried to bite her tongue to kill herself.

Glenn, who had been sitting on the sofa, abruptly slipped through his men to approach Bella. He squeezed her chin with one hand and gripped her hair with the other, preventing her from biting her tongue and speaking in the same sea tribal language.

“Are you going to commit suicide in front of me?”

“I’m a gold-tier warrior. Even if you don’t wear the anti-magic chains, you’re no match for me. I admire your courage, but at the same time, I can’t help but lament your stupidity. You’re goods that I’ve captured. Logically speaking, you should fetch at least 1,500 gold coins. If you die, I’ll lose more than 1,000 gold coins for nothing. You’re violating my rights. I gave you a choice, but since you’re not willing, you can only accept the punishment.”

Glenn clenched his fist around Bella’s chin, which snapped with a crack. She could not stop crying since she was in so much pain. Glenn shook his head and said, “When I am finished with you, I will give you to my men. I will pass you on to the next person after they have finished having fun with you! You will serve 1,500 people at the cost of one gold coin after every person served by an ordinary lady in the Iris Flower Tavern. I will let you go after I have earned enough from you.”

“You are too generous, Boss Glenn.”

“You’re just a low-class sea folk, and this is the result of your resistance. Do you regret your choice?. We will try our best to be gentle so that you can live to serve the 1,500th person.”

The guards licked their lips and smiled lewdly.

Bella was so frightened by the fate she was about to receive that her face turned pale. Despair appeared in her eyes. It was a fate worse than death.

“I will be the first person you serve. Since your mouth is wide open, I’ll start with that then.”

Glenn began to unbuckle his pants.

Bella was not the only one. Rose, who was beside her, also closed her eyes. Her body trembled.

Boom!

A muffled sound came through the door at that moment before it was abruptly kicked open. Glenn’s advances were halted when the pieces of the broken door flew into the room.

“Who is it?”

“Are you drunk? How dare you barge into our private room?”

The four guys rushed forward, drawing their daggers from their waists. They were prepared to settle the score with the intruder. They flew out at an even faster speed before they could get close to the entrance. One by one, the daggers in their hands were shattered. They grasped their chests and collapsed on the ground in agony. Each of their chests had a dust-covered footprint, which caused their chests to cave in.

The people at the door revealed themselves as the four hefty men flew out. They were Watson and Elena, with Watson posing as Casey.

Elena’s expression changed abruptly when she saw her two companions, who were kneeling on the ground with their garments tied up, and Bella’s broken jaw. She rushed forward with a water sword in her hand, slicing down at Glenn.

Boom!

Glenn’s body was covered in a coating of sky-blue water-elemental combat aura, which transformed into armor that could withstand Elena’s sword. Then, the man teleported a few meters away. His pupils narrowed slightly as he swept his sight over the four hefty men on the ground from the corner of his eyes.

Those four people were his trusted aides. Each of them possessed the power of a peak silver-tier elite. However, when confronted with the individual who had just come through the door, those four persons were unable to resist at all. That proved that the person who had just arrived was at least a gold-tier elite, and perhaps, not just any gold-tier.

“There are whispers in the floating city that the Ptolemy family’s second young master is uneducated and incompetent, and his power is not even at iron-tier. Who would have guessed the rumors were false? Young Master Casey, it seems like your true strength is above gold-tier. The Ptolemys’ might is hidden so deep, indeed!”

Glenn turned his head to face Watson, who was standing in front of the door, and his eyes narrowed as he asked, “Is it because you have been humiliated in the family and drank a little wine? And that has caused you unable to hide your strength, Young Master Casey?

“However, even if you wanted to unleash your rage, Young Master Casey, you should not have chosen me. If you came to the wrong door because you have had too much to drink, I could forget about it if you apologize to me.”

Grant was not surprised to see Casey’s body, which was wrapped in bandages, radiating a gold-tier aura because he knew that most of those noble families were wicked. He must have had to shape himself into a useless piece of rubbish so that no one would keep their eyes on him. He must have waited for the most crucial moment before exploding and securing victory in one fell swoop. That kind of event happened all the time in history.

As a result, even if everyone in Watergate City said that Casey was a useless piece of trash, he did not agree with them. The aura on Casey’s body confirmed his suspicion. He was simply irritated that Casey had interrupted his plans. He was not as noble as Casey; he was only a junior with the Severed Fingers Gand. However, that did not mean he was afraid of Casey.

Elena stepped over to the two women as he was talking. First, she assisted Bella in repairing her dislocated jaw. Then she began talking to them in their sea tribal language.

“That despicable human didn’t do anything to you, right? Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine, but Elena, why are you with that man? Is he—”

Bella and Rose had been thrilled to see Elena, especially when she freed them from the shackles. However, when they saw her with Casey, they changed their mind.

Even though the man’s arms were bandaged and his face was swollen, they recognized the man as the Ptolemy family’s second young master, who had caught them in the first place. Elena was with that jerk, which meant he might have defiled her. Was that how she regained her freedom?

They were sad when they remembered how Elena had sacrificed so much for them and how, despite being saved, they had just gone from one pit of fire to another.

Elena quickly wiped the tears on her friends’ faces and said, “You have misunderstood. That young man is—”

Elena cut herself off mid-sentence because she knew that Watson was impersonating Casey. It would be awkward if she exposed his true identity. “In any case, it is not what you think. Let’s leave the rest to Young Master Casey.”

Elena stepped out of the room with her two friends and locked the door. Only Watson, Glenn, and the four men on the ground remained in the room.

“I am speaking to you, Young Master Casey. How long are you going to ignore me?” Glenn said.

Glenn’s cheeks were flushed with unrestrained rage when he saw Elena and the other two girls exited the room.

“Are you the one with the Severed Fingers Gang?”

Surprisingly, Casey, who was standing next to him, did not respond to him. Instead, he was intrigued when he noticed the man’s missing pinky.

After all, he was a man with a severed finger. Who, in the entire Watergate City, was unaware of that? He had met Casey before, but the man acted as if he had just met him. It was odd.

Grant, on the other hand, did not give it any thought. He dashed toward Watson, a pair of sky-blue combat aura wings spread out from behind him. “It appears that you have drunk too much today. Let’s get you sobered up.”

The man had rushed into his room to hurt his subordinates and steal his things. If he did not do anything to deal with that, he would lose his dignity. Casey had hidden his real strength as a gold-tier elite.. Plus, he was a wealthy young master, so he must not have been in many fights. How could he defeat Glenn, who had survived hundreds of wars and crawled out of a mound of corpses?
