Ji Chen gently patted Anina’s head and spoke in a soothing tone, “I know this isn’t your fault, don’t worry.”

Anina looked quite aggrieved and swore to the sea that if she had known this woman was going to be so weak, she would have been a bit gentler with her earlier.

After comforting Anina, Ji Chen turned her gaze towards the frightened Revered Envoy sitting on the bed.

She had already removed her mask, proving that the Deceiver’s mask wasn’t a permanent fixture on her face.

Beneath the mask was a face as sharp and commanding as her well-toned body would suggest. Her long eyebrows, paired with phoenix-like eyes, gave her a fierce and imposing look.

However, the confusion and fear in her eyes at that moment completely shattered her image, making her appear vulnerable.

“Who are you? What do you want with me? Why am 1 here?” She asked in quick succession, rendering everyone momentarily speechless.

Ji Chen glanced at her for a moment, his expression gradually turning colder. He turned his palm upward and produced a scroll radiating a forbidden aura.

[Enslavement Contract Scroll]

[Tier]: Special

[Effect]: Can forcibly enslave a high-level being, establishing a binding contract between the user and the target, making them a servant of the user. “Do you know what this is?”

Katie’s face turned pale, and she trembled under the covers. “Please, don’t harm me. 1 don’t know anything!”

Ignoring her, Ji Chen continued, “This is something I acquired from a gnome merchant. It’s called the [Enslavement Contract Scroll]. Its effect is quite simple; it can forcibly enslave high-level beings, including dragons, high-level elemental creatures, and of course, humans.

This scroll has been lying idle with me for a long time, as I hadn’t found the right opportunity to use it. After all, under the influence of this scroll, the enslaved individual becomes even more subservient than a mere slave. Their life and death are entirely at the whim of the master, making it even more potent than a traditional master-servant contract.

Of course, I won’t use such a rare scroll lightly, but when necessary, I won’t hesitate to use it…”

Katie’s expression gradually changed, and the fear in her eyes transformed into a trace of resentment.

Until these words were spoken, she had turned into a completely different person, her face filled with anger and hatred.

That damned Lord of Glory dared to disrupt their grand plan, causing her to fall in front of this small city of Feiguang and making her look like a drowning dog pulled out from the sea.

Despicable!

Damnable!

She would surely make this Lord of Glory pay a heavy price!

First, she would immobilize his body with the extreme cold of the Far North, then use a club to crush his bones inch by inch. After that, she would throw him into the Hellish Dungeon to endure the burning of the Soulfire, tormenting his soul. She would use a skinning knife to scrape his flesh off one cut at a time, all the while keeping him alive, making him taste the most excruciating torture!!

Thinking like this, Katie’s furious heart calmed down slightly.

As Ji Chen looked at Katie glaring at him with a malicious gaze, as if she were avenging her father’s death, he couldn’t help but smile.

“What’s the matter? Not going to pretend anymore?”

Katie gazed back at her coldly, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

Perhaps the punch from earlier had been too powerful, as her body was now in disarray. Not only were her internal organs damaged to varying degrees, but her blocked meridians and magical pathways also hindered the flow of mana. For a mage, this was catastrophic.

Without potions and healing spells, she had no idea how long it would take to recover.

Her combat capabilities were now weaker than a wild dodo.

As she pondered the situation, Katie couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy as she glanced at the petite girl. She couldn’t fathom how someone with such a fragile appearance could possess such formidable strength. Was she perhaps a creature in human form, a kind of monstrous being?

Ji Chen, seeing her indifference, paid no mind.

However, with her vengeful look, it was evident that it would be difficult to extract any information from her at the moment. Torture and interrogation methods like those used on Deceivers were probably not effective on someone with a certain faith.

So, for now, they had to leave her here and extract information using other means later.

“Anina, keep an eye on her.”

Upon hearing this, Anina immediately jumped up. “Seriously? How long do I have to guard her!?

I’d rather infiltrate enemy lines and risk my life than stay here!”

But Ji Chen had already walked out without replying.

Katie watched the figure that disappeared behind the door and a hint of confusion crossed her eyes.

Did this Lord of Glory just leave like this?

Aren’t they going to interrogate her about the Deceivers or this war?

Such a strange man…

Just as they left the courtyard, a maid dressed in classical servant attire hurried over, her expression respectful and fervent as she bowed.

“Lord Ji Chen, Lady Sylvansai has come to visit.”

Ji Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded.

“Please bring her to the reception room.”

“Of course.”

In the Mediterranean-style hall, Ji Chen and Sylvansai sat on comfortable sofas. A precious incense burner on the exquisite coffee table emitted a fragrant smoke, creating a soothing atmosphere.

“Lord Ji Chen, are you comfortable staying in this mansion?”

“It’s very comfortable, I’m quite satisfied.”

Sylvansai smiled. “That’s wonderful. As the savior of Feiguang City, the entire city’s residents and soldiers hope you can feel our hospitality.”

After some small talk, Sylvansai got to the point.

“I wonder how Lord Ji Chen plans to deal with the Revered Envoy. From what I know, her status among the Deceivers is likely significant.”

Ji Chen’s interest was piqued, and he asked, “What do you mean?”

“The Deceivers have been active on the Northern Continent for a long time, but they operate in extreme secrecy, and not much is known about them… From what 1 know, the Deceivers rank their members by the color of their masks… You should be aware of this. I won’t say more.

The Deceiver with the golden mask holds a high position and undoubtedly knows many things about this war, even the overall strategy. So, if we can extract some information from her, it will undoubtedly be helpful for our victory in this war.”

Ji Chen nodded in agreement.

“Rest assured, I will extract information from her, but it will take some time.”

Sylvansai’s face lit up, as Ji Chen, who had directly defeated the 8th fleet of the Bass Kingdom and captured the golden-masked Deceiver, was well within his rights to claim these as his spoils of war. Yet, he hadn’t done so, and Sylvansai couldn’t inquire further.

Otherwise, he would have already employed various means to extract information from her.

“Thank you for your generosity and righteousness, Lord Ji Chen. Feiguang City is grateful for your efforts and actions.”

Sylvansai seemed to remember something and said with a serious expression, “Besides that, the Bass Kingdom has issued a bounty on you, Lord Ji Chen. Soon, some glory lords who don’t know their place might come.

Please be careful. Most of them may not have strong combat abilities, but they often possess some peculiar items that could pose a threat to you.”

Ji Chen smiled. “I already knew about this. I will be careful.”

Sylvansai paused, then laughed, “I almost forgot that you are also a Glory Lord. You probably knew about this sooner than 1 did. I was too anxious.

Don’t worry. As long as you stay in the city, we won’t let those glory lords do anything harmful to you.”

After seeing off Sylvansai, Ji Chen sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Since so many players wanted to exchange him for a bounty, he couldn’t just sit here and wait for them to come to him; that would be too embarrassing.

After all, he was considered the number one player in the Western Mid-Ocean. He had to make a good impression.

With that in mind, Ji Chen opened the chat channel and summoned the Journey to the West group, those four humorous guys..
