Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1197

Liam was slightly surprised. He did not expect the weak and child-like Amber to show such a tough side. He

immediately put away the dagger and said firmly, "Don't joke around like that. Aren't you worried that I might

actually take you as a hostage?"

Amber was very naive. Her eyes were pure and clear as she said, "I think it's worth it even if you hold me as a

hostage in exchange for your beloved woman!"

"Silly child. You should know your worth." Liam would never use such an immoral tactic, even if he was left with no

options.

He looked around. Although those two guards had been sent away, they were still following them from afar. All the

exits were guarded too, so it would be practically impossible to save Renee under the guards' strict monitoring.

"Gem... Amber... Forget about the hostage plan. Can you take me to the dungeon to see my girlfriend?" Liam was

helpless, and this was the only way he could think of. Amber was the only one on his side that had a bit of status in

the whole fort.

"The dungeon is very dangerous, so my father prohibits me from going there... but if you want to see her, I can

take you there." Amber nibbled her lip nervously as she made up her mind, then led Liam to the dungeon. She

knew her father would be angry and punish her, but she wanted to do whatever she could to help Liam.

The dungeon was located in a very remote place, and was guarded all around. Generally, one would only be locked

there if Benjamin wanted to sentence them to death or sell them to others.

Currently, both Renee and Joanne were locked in there, so their fates were imaginable...

It was a dark night. The two guards were slightly tired, so they started chatting idly.

"Did you hear? Master plans to tear Joanne into pieces and sell her to someone else. They'll come and get her

tonight."

"Ah, how sad! She's pretty, but she'll soon be torn into pieces. What a pity!"

"It's not a pity at all! If she didn't betray him, she might be his wife now. She's ungrateful. It serves her right!"

Liam happened to hear their conversation, and his eyes widened in shock." Did I hear right? Your father wants to

sell Joanne’s body parts?! Isn't she his only female disciple? That's too cruel!"

With her head lowered, Amber grasped the hem of her clothes awkwardly." Joanne is indeed very pitiful. She did the

right thing and didn’t want to conspire with my dad... I tried to beg for mercy for her, but no one can change my

dad's mind once he decides on something."

At the same time, two people in lab coats and masks walked into the dungeon, carrying a toolbox.

The guards immediately blocked their path. "Show me your pass."

The two people showed their passes to the guards, and were allowed to enter the dungeon.

"Be quick. The items have to be delivered fresh." The guards ordered them.

Meanwhile, Liam was terrified.

He had long heard that Benjamin was ruthless, but he had always appeared amiable. He even took Liam in as his

disciple and taught him martial arts. As a result, Liam assumed that Benjamin was not that bad.

Now, it was clear that the man was actually a ferocious demon who had no qualms about killing others!

The most horrible thing was that Benjamin had admired Joanne greatly in the past. She was the one exception-his

only female disciple.

Chapter 1198

Currently, Joanne was forced to have her body parts sold just because she disagreed with Benjamin's cruel ways.

How horrible!

"They're so used to this. Will Boss be..." Liam's heartbeat quickened, and he did not dare to think about it.

"No, I must save them. I can't delay any longer!' Driven by panic, he rushed towards the entrance of the dungeon.

Naturally, he was stopped by two guards.

"The dungeon is a restricted area. Please show me your pass."

"I don't have a pass!" Liam snarled coldly, "My girlfriend is in there, and I've come to get her back."

"You don't have a pass but you want to barge into the dungeon without permission. It looks like you're an intruder.

Well, don't blame us for being harsh." The guards raised their weapons and aimed them at Liam's head.

Sometimes, there were people who tried to barge into the dungeon like Liam was doing. It was usually quite easy to

deal with them-the guards simply pulled the trigger, dragged the body away, and threw it aside.

"What are you doing? Let go of him!" Amber quickly rushed forward and stopped the guards.

"Miss Jenkins, we're just doing our duty. Please cooperate," the guards said solemnly. "You should be aware of the

rules in the fort. Anyone who wants to enter the dungeon must have a pass. Even if it's the master, we have to kill

him if he tries to barge in without a pass."

Benjamin had enforced that rule when he first established the fort. Their power and influence had grown because

of it, and thus, the fort had become a dangerous spot that ordinary people dared not approach.

"Who told you I don’t have a pass?" Amber took a pass out of her bag and handed it to the guard. "Look at it

carefully... That is my dad's exclusive pass. I can go anywhere with this, and I can give any order I want. If you

disobey me, you're disobeying my dad."

"Umm..." The two guards were in a dilemma. The pass was indeed the most powerful pass in the whole fort. Guards

like them, who had only a small status, had no right to doubt it, so they could only obey her. They put down their

weapons and let Liam and Amber enter the dungeon. Right after that, they reported the incident to Benjamin.

When Benjamin's four foster sons heard that, they became so angry that they wanted to hack Liam into pieces.

"Master, Liam is way out of line. How dare he instigate Miss Jenkins to steal your pass! If this goes on, she'll even

give up her life for him!" Mateo burst out furiously. He didn't hate Liam, it was just that he had a crush on Amber.

He was worried that she might do something more outrageous under Liam's orders.

However, if Benjamin lost his temper, he might even punish his daughter.

"Miss Jenkins is a pure and kind woman, so she can't be with a cunning man like Liam. Let's forget about our past

friendship and hack Liam into pieces and sell him to others!" Danny, Benjamin's eldest foster son, suggested

impatiently. He always thought that human lives were worthless. Naturally, disobedient people had to be eliminated.
