Bradley still had a murderous aura around him, and a chilling coldness flashed in his eyes. He approached and untied the ropes for Gabriel, saying indifferently, "Aren't you usually good at fighting? What's wrong? Can't even deal with Qinglong Stronghold? It seems that you've had too long a vacation recently and slacked off in training, and your skills have deteriorated?"

Upon hearing this, Gabriel clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked.

If it weren't for Lan Xiaoling being in their hands, why would he have to endure all this physical pain? He would have already led his brothers to wipe out the entire Qinglong Stronghold.

"Where's Xiaoling?"

Gabriel didn't respond to his words but instead asked a question.

Bradley supported him and walked towards the exit. When he heard this question, he turned his head and looked at Gabriel deeply for a long time.

It seemed that this brother had really fallen in love.

In that case, things were really going to be troublesome.

"Freya is here too. She's in charge of rescuing Lan Xiaoling."

Calculating the time, Freya should have found Lan Xiaoling by now.

However, Bradley was still a bit worried. After all, Freya's body had just recovered not long ago.

After leaving the basement, there was a lot of noise from the fighting ahead.

Bradley was worried about Freya. He handed Gabriel over to the subordinates of the Dark Web and flashed over to find out what was going on.

From a distance, he saw that Freya was surrounded by a group of small fry from Qinglong Stronghold. Although Freya had good fighting skills, the other side had the advantage in numbers, and they were all holding short daggers and wooden sticks. Freya clearly seemed a bit overwhelmed.

As for Blue Book's side, he was also surrounded by a group of people.

Bradley quickened his pace and rushed up. When a man was about to smash a wooden stick on Freya's back, he fired a shot at the man.

The next second, a painful howl rang out.

Because Bradley didn't want to kill the man, he shot right through the man's palm.

There was a bloody hole, and the blood kept flowing. It looked really terrifying from a distance.

As Bradley joined the fight, the people of Qinglong Stronghold didn't dare to approach easily anymore.

Although they made a living by robbing, when it came to matters of life and death, no one dared to take risks easily.

After all, whoever took the lead might not live to see the sun the next day.

"Monkey, are we still going to fight?" A brother asked.

There were only two people just now, but after Bradley appeared, the members of the Dark Web also showed up.

Counting the number of people, the people of Qinglong Stronghold didn't have the upper hand.

"What fight? Let's run for our lives first."

The man called Monkey stepped back step by step. When he was in a safe range, he quickly fled in a hurry.

When the other brothers saw this, they looked at each other for a long time. After saying "withdraw", they all ran out one after another.

Seeing this, Xiongyan, who was left aside, was so angry that he roared, "A bunch of useless fools. Come back here."

However, no one paid attention to him, and soon everyone disappeared without a trace.

Xiongyan felt desperate. Falling into the hands of the Dark Web today, he was definitely doomed.

"Dark Master, should we chase after them?" Blue Book asked for instructions.

Bradley frowned and waved his hand, "No need."

They were just a bunch of small fry and couldn't stir up any trouble.

However, this Qinglong Stronghold couldn't be left alone.

Freya understood the man's meaning. As soon as everyone stepped out of Qinglong Stronghold, she directly threw a liquid bomb, and the entire Qinglong Stronghold was flattened in an instant.

Back at the Dark Web, Xiongyan was locked up in the dungeon. Bradley originally wanted Blue Book to teach him a good lesson, but unexpectedly, Gabriel came over with his body covered in injuries, ready to take revenge on his own.

Bradley knew Gabriel's temper and didn't try to stop him, letting him vent his anger.

As for Lan Xiaoling, who was frightened, Freya sent her to the infirmary to recuperate. However, she was arranged in the ward farthest from Xiaolan to prevent Xiaolan from noticing anything and having another episode.

"Freya, thank you for saving me." Lan Xiaoling said gratefully.

Her original plan was to injure Xiongyan if possible. If she couldn't reach him, she planned to die together with Xiongyan.

But she had overestimated her strength. In front of a bandit, her resistance was undoubtedly beyond her capabilities.

Freya bandaged her wounds. Looking up at her red eyes from crying, she smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to be polite between us. Recover well from your injuries. Don't get out of bed recently. If you need anything, just ask the nurse to come in and help."

Lan Xiaoling pursed her lips, and her eyes showed some hesitation.

Freya knew what she was thinking but didn't expose it and focused on the work at hand.

Some feelings hidden in the heart are the best for everyone.

But if they are confessed, it will instead cause a burden on others.

Lan Xiaoling naturally knew this truth, so she didn't say what was on her mind.

"Freya, can I ask you to do me a favor?" Lan Xiaoling thought for a long time before opening her mouth.

Freya hummed, "Go ahead."

Lan Xiaoling pursed her lips as if she had made a great determination and said, "I know that my sister's emotions are due to my existence. So I want to ask you to help me find a house. As soon as I can get out of bed, I'll leave here."

No matter what, she had to leave. Otherwise, her sister would be angry, and it would also make Young Master Lu feel awkward and cause a mental burden on him.

Freya was slightly taken aback.

From the moment Lan Xiaoling opened her mouth, she had guessed countless possibilities in her heart, but she didn't expect her to say this.

After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

Since Gabriel didn't want Lan Xiaoling to leave but also couldn't bear to hurt Xiaolan, it would be better to let Lan Xiaoling move out alone to reduce the chances of the three of them meeting.

In this way, they could see if they could resolve the resentment in Xiaolan's heart.

"Also, I don't want Young Master Lu to know about this." Lan Xiaoling's fingers tightly grasped the bed sheet.

Freya could tell that it was very painful for her to make this decision, but it was better to have a short-term pain than a long-term one, which was the best for the three of them.

"Sure, I'll keep it a secret for you."

"Thank you."

Lan Xiaoling smiled at her, and her bright eyes were filled with tears.

Freya held her hand and comforted her, "Xiaoling, a nice girl like you will definitely find a man worthy of your lifelong trust."

But that man won't be Gabriel.

After chatting with Lan Xiaoling for a while longer, Freya left the ward. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Bradley waiting outside.

Freya smiled softly at him, then walked up and gently hugged him, "Why are you here? Have you dealt with the matter of Xiongyan?"

Bradley hugged her back. Without caring that this was a public place, he bent down and rubbed his nose against hers.

"Gabriel is dealing with it himself. I'm here to take you back to rest."

"Okay."

Freya held his hand, and the two of them walked out of the infirmary together. It was just in the evening, and the sun was setting. The rays of the setting sun were warm and beautiful.

...

In the dungeon at this moment, Gabriel looked at Xiongyan with fierce eyes. He took a short dagger from his subordinate's hand and quickly approached the other person.

The sound of "sizz" as the skin was sliced open came from the air, followed by Xiongyan's hysterical howls of pain.

"Young Master Lu, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life."

However, Gabriel turned a deaf ear to his pleas for mercy and made another cut with the dagger. Blood spurted out like a fountain.
