Release That Succubus

Seeing as Clara’s foot was frozen midair, Nelson felt like his words were working this time. He no longer needed to feel afraid as he boisterously struck while the iron was hot.

“Are you sure that revenge is more important than your father’s life? You can keep me hostage if you want but don’t you dare kill me or the end result wouldn’t be something you would like.”

Nelson had been personally broken down the spirits of many stubborn individuals. He was able to ascertain the psychological weak points of the people which was probably his only talent other than being a rich scion of the Hunter family.

Unfortunately, Clara wasn’t as skilled in psychological warfare. Her specialty was head on collisions instead of the strategic warfare employed by the physically weak. She was taken in by his logical reasoning that was aimed at her weak point.

As a result, she began to contemplate whether or not to kill Nelson considering that her father’s safety wasn’t guaranteed yet. Even Luke had barely managed to restrain the cops from torturing him. Despite his authority he was unable to bring her father out without the proof of his innocence in the sugar poisoning case.

Briefly considering the situation, Clara found the only logical solution to the problem. In order to ensure that her father remained safe, she had to ensure that Nelson remained in a presentable condition as the hostage of the Windsor family to help in the negotiations that would surely ensue following Violet’s rescue and Nelson’s capture.

But that moment of respite was enough for Nelson to make an escape. While Clara was still lost in her thought and was probably thinking of the best method for rescuing her father from the dungeon, Nelson had already pulled out an ancient looking scroll from somewhere within his clothes. It seemed to have been hidden inside the seam of his clothes to keep it away from any prying eyes. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

Just when Clara was about to make a move to bring the vile creature under her control, she noticed the archaic scroll in his hands and panicked. She rushed towards him but Nelson snorted in derision as he tore off the scroll in two pieces from the middle.

A huge amount of mana appeared out of the scroll and engulfed Nelson’s whole being in it. It seemed to be a high grade scroll because only such a scroll had the ability to release sufficient amount of magic power to push back a mage of Clara’s caliber.

The mana pushed her back like a powerful gust of wind but only barely slowed her down. Unfortunately, the scroll turned out to be a spatial teleportation scroll that could probably teleport the target to a fixed location as long as the target was within a certain range of the fixed location.

The mana condensed around Nelson and the whole space around him vanished along with the conclusion of the scroll effect. Clara’s hands only met thin air as Nelson had vanished before she could get any closer to him.

Clara wanted to smack herself in the face and only then understood the look of derision that Nelson had given her before he left. He was mocking her for her stupidity. Not only had he managed to toy with her mind but had also been able to escape without having to pay a terrible price.

Clara stomped the ground in anger but her frustration led her to stumble and she accidently stamped her own foot in anger. The pain brought her back to reality and she cursed herself for falling for such a stupid trick of the enemy. She should have killed him in a single kick from the get go. She had gone too easy on her enemy because she wanted to torture him just like he had probably tortured her sister.

As a result, the cunning and vile beast of a man had managed to escape using the spatial scroll and was probably rushing to inform the details of what had happened to his equally disgusting father.

Maybe she had even put her father’s life in jeopardy by allowing him to leave in such a condition.

…

Unlike Zach and Christina who chased after Jack in an attempt to control him, and Clara who was preoccupied by the rage boiling underneath her skin at the sight of Nelson, Luke was more worried about Violet’s fate.

Clara and Violet had been his friends growing up during the tough times. He didn’t want anything bad to happen to either of them. Therefore, as soon as Clara kicked Nelson away, he entered the cave cautiously. Although he was afraid of being ambushed at the mouth of the cave because his movement was restricted in such a narrow space, he didn’t stop. He needed to ensure that Violet was safe before he could take such precautions. As it was now, he didn’t have the luxury to waste precious time.

Before Luke could think of something, his gaze on the naked Violet who had been tied up in order to control her and was being toyed with by Nelson until all of them made their appearance at the hill in search of her.

Although she had been hoping to escape all this time, she didn’t like it one bit when Luke actually came for her. The reason was the condition he found her in.

The moment he entered Violet let out a small scream and her face turned the darker shade of red as if blood was oozing out of her flawless skin. She couldn’t help but fret over the fact that Luke had seen her naked body.

Luke on the other hand wasn’t worried about the trivialities of the matter. Instead, he was thinking of how he had come too late. Considering the beast had been in here for a while before they came to rescue Violet, the naked Violet was all he had to see to come to his own conclusions regarding what had happened in the cave.
