Mary felt like she was getting a migraine when Isaac Aaronax kept doing things as he pleased.
“Seriously, do you even know how important the Metallic Stone was? Luckily, Nathan doesn’t seem to know everything and believed my gibberish.” Mary ruffled her hair and said in frustration.
She was frustrated by his conduct and method that always seemed to bring danger to their current position.
Like how could he be so careless?
In fact, she was too speechless to even scold any further because he would most definitely forget about it the very next day.
As she stayed silent for a few seconds, Isaac Aaronax subsequently asked, “Is that all?”
It was as if a volcano had erupted, and Mary was beyond furious. She quickly circulated the Magicules in her surroundings and blasted at him.
BAM!
Luckily, Isaac Aaronax reacted in time and managed to bring out a shield and blocked the shot from Mary.
“Relax, Mary. Why must we resort to violence?” Isaac Aaronax said, seemingly trying to pacify her.
“Speak another word, and I’m going to hit you with my full force.” Mary clicked her tongue and threatened in a low tone.
Instantly, Isaac Aaronax seemed to have turned into a docile cat, sitting properly and having his mouth shut.
He knew things were serious if she ever threatened in a low tone. He wasn’t afraid if she was scolding loudly or not, but was definitely frightened when her tone was barely audible.
That was the cue when she was truly angry and would erupt at the speed of light.
Seeing Isaac Aaronax acting like a docile and timid cat, Mary finally exhaled tiringly.
She was brought up by him, but it seemed like the roles had reversed tremendously.
“A-Anyway, I want to ask what you have done to Xavier?” Isaac Aaronax attempted to shift the topic even though he really doesn’t care about Xavier’s fate.
And of course, Mary could deduce his intention with a snap of the finger but decided to feign innocence. ．
At the end of the day, she wouldn’t have been able to survive and stand here if it weren’t for Isaac Aaronax. It was also because he knew this clearly which resulted in him being so bold and impulsive.
“Sigh, this is the last warning, Isaac. If you pull this kind of stunt again, then I’m leaving and you can do all the management yourself.” Mary crossed her arms and warned.
“Yes yes yes, my lovely Mary’s command has been received. I promise I won’t be reckless again.” Isaac Aaronax smiled and clasped his hands.
Despite this, Mary doubted a single word that came out of his mouth. He had said that numerous times- to the point that she had forgotten the number already.
After calming her emotion, Mary then reported what she had done to Xavier.
“I had ordered a few men in the Shadow Legion to capture Xavier when he was on his way to make love with the woman from the exchange center. We had Xavier captured and used his Cellos device to leave a note telling her that he had something to do first so he couldn’t make it to the hotel.”
Isaac Aaronax nodded his head. He didn’t doubt the capability of Mary and the men in the Shadow Legion to capture a mere gold-ranked mercenary.
“So what happened afterward?” He then asked.
“We had him brought to the underground prison where he was repeatedly tortured to spill out the beans. However, he remained tight-lipped and refused to say anything, proclaiming himself as innocent.”
“Hmph, even if he was truly innocent in the matter of not harming Yolanda, the fact still remains that he had ditched her in times of danger. That alone is guilty enough and to have the gall to still want to have sex with a woman is beyond hilarious.” Isaac Aaronax snorted coldly.
“Have his tendons cut off and destroy his manhood in the process. Then feed him to the monsters we are taming. There’s no point in keeping such a person alive anyway.” He added.
Mary nodded his head.
“Very well, I shall have it done now.” She said calmly, her eyes glinting with viciousness. Her fist was clenched tightly and it was clear that she wanted Xavier dead a long time ago. She was merely waiting for Isaac Aaronax to greenlight the decision to have him killed.
Now that she had gotten permission to do so, she was definitely going to enjoy torturing Xavier, showing him what it meant to have a life worse than death.
‘Xavier huh, let’s see if you can be arrogant anymore. I’ll make sure to give you a very slow and painful death.’ Mary exclaimed inwardly, exiting the workshop.
Meanwhile, Isaac Aaronax remained silent, his eyes glancing at the door she had exited.
How could he not understand the pain Mary was going through?
Yolanda and she were practically bosom friends. With her death being confirmed, it was obvious that she would be affected but had to remain composed for the greater good.
“Since I gave Nathan the Metallic Stone, then allowing you to torture Xavier to death could be considered my compensation. Hopefully, your sadness would be alleviated a bit with his death.” He murmured, turning around and began crafting a new item.
What had occurred here naturally remained unknown to Shi Tian as he was carrying the box and heading home.
With the Metallic Stone now taken off the box, the weight of the box had become lighter, but it was his legs now suffering the burn. The Metallic Stone was stored in his pocket, so his legs were constantly having feeling of dragging a heavy boulder every time he walked forward.
Beads of sweat continued to drip on the ground from his forehead with each step forward. He was panting heavily, but the thought of stopping never crossed his mind.
This was necessary if he wanted to become stronger, so he would definitely not be stopped by a mere Metallic Stone.
‘Mary was able to do this for five years, so why can’t I? Watch how I’ll overcome this trial.’ Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly.
