Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4222

"I'll look for the children right after I finish with you, Sect Master."

"Alright!" Skylar nodded, feeling incomparably light.

He had his back toward Kendall and thus did not see the expression on her face.

Kendall left after she had served Skylar.

A sinister smile appeared on Kendall's face as she walked out of the Prayer Tower.

She would look for the children, but she would give them a little something before she brought them back. Kendall had decided to rebel against Skylar.

She was bound to Skylar via the fiend blood contract, and it would take a lot more than killing him to break it. However, she knew that the only way out was to let Skylar lose control completely. Since he was cultivating the Devil Nightmare, it was an excellent opportunity to do that.

Half an hour later, Kendall arrived outside the royal city.

Almost a hundred men were already waiting in the forest. They were the Five Poison Sect's elite members.

At the sight of Kendall, the Five Poison Sect members rushed to greet her in unison. "At your service, Sect Master."

Kendall nodded; her expression was unmoving as she spoke lightly. "Heed my order—find me 20 children.

"Remember, you must bring them here to me before midnight."

Her voice was not loud, but it left no room for doubt.

"Yes, Sect Master."

As the words rang through the air, the Five Poison Sect members called out in acknowledgment before soaring off into the royal city.

Two hours later, the members returned with the children in tow. Those children were from various social backgrounds, but they looked equally fearful. Some of their faces were deathly pale, shocked beyond words. Some of them were bawling their eyes out, screaming as they cried.

"I want my mother!"

"I want to go home. I want to go home!"

Kendall frowned at the incessant sobs; she felt impatient. Yet, she managed to hold back.

"Why are you crying? Keep it up, and I'll throw you into the river." One of the Five Poison Sect members spat with a ferocious expression on his face.
