"You, shut up!" Rosalind shouted angrily. She glared at Madame Pandora and said, "Judging by the way you keep on begging for his life, you two must be more than friends. Tell us now, which is more important, our sect master or that man?"
"I—" Madame Pandora's face turned beet red; she was lost for words.
Alison stared at Madame Pandora in silence before saying, "It's true, you have earned great merits by stealing the Holy Jade Scripture. But don't forget that you're in the Fantasy Sect for life and have sworn to do everything for the good of the sect."
Madame Pandora bit her lips. She felt extremely conflicted.
"Fine, I'll do it! I'll translate the Holy Jade Scripture. But, untie me first," Darryl said while sneaking glances at Madame Pandora. He was furious at Madame Pandora for bringing him there, but she continued to try to help him, so he felt a little better.
Alison frowned at Darryl's request.
"As if you're in the position to negotiate with us!" Rosalind shouted coldly. The others were also glaring at him. They thought he must have a death wish.
Darryl remained calm. "I've already stated my conditions. It's up to you to decide just how badly you want me to translate the Holy Jade Scripture."
Alison's face darkened. "Fine, is that how you want to play it? You must not have experienced the true horror of the Fantasy Sect. Rosalind, bring the torture device!"
Rosalind brought out a bundle of thorns without any hesitation. The thorns were pure-black, and its tip was so black that it seemed to be glowing with a purple-black cold light. Rosalind walked up to Darryl with the thorns in her hand and said, "These thorns are from the demon vine tree. Once stuck inside your nerve, it would magnify your pain by ten times. On behalf of the Sect Master, I'll ask you one last time, will you translate for us?"
Inwardly, Darryl was beyond furious, but outwardly he displayed a relaxed expression. Then, Rosalind immediately stuck a thorn in the nerve in his shoulder. A shocking pain coursed through his body, but he gritted his teeth and did not scream.
However, Rosalind was not done with him yet. She proceeded to stick all the thorns on all the most vulnerable places on his body. Darryl could withstand the pain for the first few thorns, but after that, he could not help but scream out loud.
'Sh*t, these sect people are too vicious!' At that moment, Darryl was drenched in sweat. He wanted to activate his internal energy but discovered he could not stabilize his aura due to all the pain he was experiencing.
Finally, Rosalind stuck the last thorn on his body and stepped aside.
"Have you changed your mind? Would you be willing to translate the Holy Jade Scripture for me now?" Alison asked with a half-smile.
Darryl took a deep breath and smiled.
