Chapter 997
The Sweeney family paid well, but the risks were high.
They came to work here for the money. But now, they just wanted to leave, desperately.
Being given to Master Wood meant death, and being kicked into the pool to drown also meant death.
They couldn't help but worry about their impending fate.
After a few more minutes, the maid in the pool finally sank to the bottom, lifeless.
"Anyone who dares to defy my orders will end up like her!" Tristan said coldly, staring at the trembling maids. "Now go serve Master Wood."
Master Wood looked as happy as if he had won the lottery.
He sat on a lounge chair, his large belly protruding, and began to undress. "Come on, beauties! Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." The scene was too much to bear.
It was so shocking that it almost made one's eyes pop out.
Tristan turned away in disgust. "Enjoy yourself, Master Wood. I have other matters to attend to."
Marcelo also stood up immediately. "Enjoy, Master Wood."
Master Wood's eyes were only on the beautiful maids; he didn't even glance at the brothers.
"Go on, go on!" he waved dismissively.
He smiled lewdly, his face greasy with fat.
"No! Don't come near me!"
"Master Wood, please, I'll do anything..."
Master Wood's disgusting laughter echoed in the air. "Hee-hee-"
At the Blood Medical Sect Manor.
In a very quiet courtyard, an elderly man with gray hair stood in the yard, calculating something with his fingers before letting out a heavy sigh.
Casey Gentry stood behind him, looking anxious. "Elder Reginald, how is Mr. Maskelyne's fate this time?"
Having failed to help Sylvia and returned to the Blood Medical Sect, Casey felt guilty. So upon returning, he immediately sought out the family's fortune-teller, Reginald Gentry, to divine Franklin's fate and see if he could overcome this crisis.
"His life is no longer in danger, young master. You need not worry," Reginald said, retracting his fingers, though his brows were still furrowed with concern.
