In the dungeon.
“You bastards, release my husband!” Sophia turned around and yelled at Jacob.
Jacob took two steps forward, a sly and sinister smile on his face. “Darling, don’t be naive. I’m not letting Leo go, not in this lifetime. The best I can do is beat him to death in front of you and then make a scarecrow out of his skin.”
After saying this, Jacob immediately embraced Sophia.
Leo’s eyes widened with rage. “Let go of Sophia, or I’ll make you regret it!”
Not only did Jacob not release Sophia, but he held her even tighter, his hands wandering on her back.
Sophia screamed and resisted. Finding an opportunity, she delivered a knee to Jacob’s groin.
Basic self-defense, Sophia knew it well.
Jacob couldn’t have predicted that Sophia would use her knee in such a way. He quickly released his grip on Sophia, his hands covering the affected area, gasping for breath.
“Mavis, Dagen, what are you standing there for? The lady is too violent. Capture her for me!” Jacob ordered, still catching his breath.
Mavis and Dagen approached, restraining Sophia from both sides. Now, no matter how Sophia struggled, it was futile.
After the pain subsided, Jacob once again stood in front of Sophia, an evil smile on his face. “Darling, didn’t expect you to be so virtuous. I like it. Let me send you to heaven in front of your husband.”
Jacob reached out towards Sophia’s chest…
At that moment, Leo, with eyes bloodshot and skin turning red, let out a terrifying roar.
“Roar!”
This roar, like a dragon’s cry and a tiger’s roar, condensed into a formidable shockwave, directly knocking Jacob and his companions away.
The sound wave seemed to be selective, only affecting Jacob and the others, leaving Sophia completely unaffected.
As Jacob and his companions fell to the ground, their ears rang, and their eardrums were almost torn apart. Their heads were dizzy.
Leo’s blood-red eyes quickly returned to normal, a powerful and fierce aura bursting from his body. Jacob and his companions, in their dizziness, felt an overwhelming pressure.
In the midst of extreme anger, Leo unexpectedly broke through, advancing from a mid-level spiritualist to an upper-level spiritualist!
With a sudden force, Leo’s hands made the iron chains explode with a loud bang. However, to Leo’s disappointment, even with the breakthrough to an upper-level spiritualist, he still couldn’t break the iron chains with his physical strength.
It seemed these chains were made of a special kind of mysterious iron.
Jacob, regaining his senses, feared that Leo would break free. He quickly commanded Dagen, “Dagen, hurry, kill him!”
Dagen, with the best physical condition among the three, stood up from the ground. Drawing a dagger from his waist, he cautiously approached Leo.
Just as Dagen was about to stab the dagger into Leo’s body, a sudden scream echoed, and the dagger slipped from his hand as his body collided heavily with the iron cage.
Then, two figures were thrown in, Sebastian and Murray Hoover.
At the sight of Sebastian and Murray Hoover, Leo was stunned.
“Leo!” Bob and the others exclaimed with joy.
Leo raised his head and saw Bob, Huang Zhi, Bevis, and a middle-aged man with a square face and crew cut.
In her fear, Sophia, seeing the arrival of Bob and the others, expressed her gratitude. “Bob, thank you for coming to rescue me and Leo.”
Bob signaled and, along with Bevis, approached to remove the iron chains from Leo.
However, without a key, they couldn’t open the shackles with brute force.
“Chasel, get the key from someone in the Bernard family!” Bob ordered.
Chasel pulled out a small knife, walked up to Jacob, who was closest to him, and waved the knife, saying, “Take out the key, or I’ll gut you!”
His father and the man named Murray Hoover lay on the ground like dead dogs, scaring Jacob to the point of wetting himself. He quickly pointed at Mavis and shouted, “The key is on him!”
Chasel found the key on Mavis and then unlocked the shackles on Leo.
At that moment, Sophia, ignoring everything, rushed over.
Leo held her tightly. After this ordeal, both of them felt a sense of near-death experience.
“Sophia, it’s okay… Don’t be afraid,” Leo whispered in Sophia’s ear.
It wasn’t until Sophia’s emotions stabilized that Leo let her go. He looked into her eyes and said warmly, “Sophia, there’s still some cleanup work to be done, and it might get bloody. I don’t want you to see it. Wait for me outside.”
Sophia, understanding what Leo meant, replied obediently, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Leo looked at Chasel and said, “Chasel, please escort Sophia outside and wait for us.”
“Sure, Leo,” Chasel responded.
Just then, Yale Leigh, who had been silent, spoke up, “You two, go out as well.”
Yale Leigh meant for Bob and Bevis to leave the dungeon; he had something to discuss with Leo alone.
