Blue Book responded with an affirmative, but the voice, which was clearly so strong and powerful, sounded as faint as a mosquito's buzz to his ears.

Bradley stared in the direction where Yuan Xiao and the others had left, his fists clenched tightly, and a destructive killing intent revealed in his eyes.

"Yuan Xiao, if you dare to harm even a hair on Freya's head, I'll make your entire Yuan Kingdom pay the price!"

Bradley let out a long howl towards the sky, but the only response he got was the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves in the forest.

Since Bradley was seriously injured, Yelü An forcibly dragged him back to the infirmary first to have his body examined. In addition to the re-damaged eardrums, his internal organs had also been severely injured.

He should have stayed for further treatment, but news came from Blue Book, saying that everything had been arranged.

Bradley was eager to save Freya and didn't care about his own body at all. He immediately went with a group of people to look for her.

At this moment, Freya had been taken back to a stationed point by Yuan Xiao's men.

It was an old house with a sense of history. The roof was covered with tiles, the floor was paved with red ceramic tiles, and there was a large courtyard outside. Since the house was built on a mountain, to prevent wild beasts from appearing, fences were set up around it, and quite a few traps were placed.

Freya was now locked in the firewood room, and Yelü Qi was locked in the next room.

When that terrifying sound sounded, Freya was also injured. However, Yuan Xiao controlled it in time for her, so she wasn't too seriously hurt.

But on the way here, she had been in a coma all the time.

"Bradley, don't... Run, run!"

Freya was now caught in a nightmare and kept mumbling these words.

After taking a short rest, Yuan Xiao came to check on the situation. Hearing Freya keep calling Bradley's name, a jealous glint flashed in his dark eyes.

"What a strong bond between husband and wife. You can't even forget each other in your dreams."

Yuan Xiao sneered as he said this, then bent down and reached out his rough hands to gently caress Freya's delicate face.

"I used to like you so much. But you treated me so well, torturing me with silver needles every day. It turns out that beautiful women like you are all heartless and cruel."

As he said this, Yuan Xiao pinched Freya's chin.

Because his emotions were a bit out of control, he used a great deal of force.

It was in this situation that Freya woke up from the pain.

When she saw the face that was several times enlarged in front of her, Freya's pupils shrank sharply twice, and she instinctively wanted to strike out.

However, she had forgotten that her hands were tied up, and even if she wanted to struggle, she couldn't move.

"You're awake."

Yuan Xiao met her eyes filled with hatred, and the smile on his lips was extremely evil. "What, you hate me and want to kill me?"

"I don't just want to kill you. I wish I could tear you to pieces and scatter your ashes!"

Since she couldn't resist, she spat at Yuan Xiao.

But Yuan Xiao wasn't angry. He just wiped the spittle off his face with his hand and then put it in his mouth and licked it.

When Freya saw this scene, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit. "Yuan Xiao, you're so shameless."

Yuan Xiao let her scold him and still had a smile on his face. But in the end, he forcefully lifted her chin. "As long as I can get what I want, what's the use of having face?"

He had been shameless before. He could even bully his own cousin, so why should he be polite to others?

He had been suave and debonair for more than a decade, and he had played with countless women. Which woman didn't come to him on her own initiative to curry favor with him? But what about Freya?

This damned woman had opposed him time and time again, and she had even locked him in the basement and tortured him for so long.

He hated her!

When he left the basement, his first thought was to kill Freya and Leonard.

But now that he saw Freya again, he suddenly changed his mind.

This was Leonard's woman. Wouldn't it be a pity to just kill her like that?

He wanted to use Freya to lure Leonard into a trap, and then personally present Leonard to his mother to claim credit. He also wanted to let those old guys see that Leonard didn't deserve to be the king of their Yuan Kingdom at all.

And he, Yuan Xiao, was the rightful heir!

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something. In the future, when I become the king of Yuan Kingdom, I'll also snatch you away from Leonard and make you my queen.

"Then, I'll keep you imprisoned by my side and torture you day and night, making you taste the pain of losing your freedom and making you regret ever being alive in this world."

As Yuan Xiao said these words, a sinister expression appeared on his face, making him look like a ghost in the dark night, extremely terrifying.

Freya suddenly realized that she had known too little about Yuan Xiao.

She had thought before that Yuan Xiao would be captivated by women and eventually die at the hands of a woman.

But now, looking at his sharp eyes, Freya realized she was wrong.

Yuan Xiao was the kind of man who seemed to be idle and carefree on the surface, but when he was ruthless, he was as terrifying as a devil.

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes, overturning her previous opinion, and started to think of effective ways to deal with Yuan Xiao in her heart.

"Yuan Xiao, actually you don't have to do this. There are countless ways to take revenge on me. You can just kill me directly to relieve your hatred. But you went to so much trouble to kidnap me here. Aren't you afraid that something unexpected might happen?"

Freya said calmly. Since she had been captured here, she could only adapt to the changing situation and look for an opportunity to strike back.

But to her surprise, Yuan Xiao threw his head back and laughed. "Killing you would be no fun. It's like a cat playing with a mouse. You keep it and play with it slowly, and then eat it up when you're tired of it. That's what makes it interesting."

"Of course, Leonard loves you so much that he will definitely come to save you at all costs. But this is my territory. Even if he has great abilities, I will definitely make sure he never leaves alive."

As he said this, he narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were filled with a killing intent.

Freya felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that Yuan Xiao had come prepared this time. The key was that he had captured her with the purpose of dealing with Bradley.

After all, the queen of Yuan Kingdom wanted to get rid of Bradley, who was a thorn in her side, to consolidate her position.

So if Bradley showed up, it would definitely be very dangerous.

Now Freya could only hope that Bradley would come later, even later, and not fall into Yuan Xiao's insidious trap.

"However, if you're willing to yield to me voluntarily, maybe I'll reconsider sparing Leonard's life when I'm in a good mood." Yuan Xiao's hand restlessly ran across Freya's face.

Even though he hated this woman to the core, the feeling of unwillingness for not being able to have her still filled his chest, making him want to truly possess her once.

But Freya stubbornly turned her face away, and a look of disgust appeared in her eyes.

"Yield to you? In your dreams!"

In this life, she only recognized Bradley. Besides him, no one else could even think of touching a hair on her head.

"You have backbone. Fine, I'll see how long you can be stubborn when Leonard comes." Yuan Xiao said and got up to leave.

But suddenly he remembered something, turned around, grabbed Freya's forehead, and forcefully kissed her on the forehead.
