At the end of the day, Missy was still just a child with limited strength.

During the chaos, Hound launched a surprise attack and restrained her with a bear hug.

Finally, Missy was subdued, as she could no longer move.

Drawing a dagger from his thigh, Hound bellowed, “You b*stard! How dare you hurt me? Today, I will make you pay with your life!”

He raised his dagger high into the air.

“No!”

Seized by terror, Lacey dashed forward to stop him.

As for Missy, she closed her eyes and screamed in fear.

However, at the very last moment, a bang rang out.

Hound's dagger was sent flying from his hand.

Just a while ago, a stone had hit Hound's dagger and struck it off his grip.

Who is it?

Hound and his men looked in the direction which the stone came from.


The sight that greeted them caused them to break out in a cold sweat.

Out of nowhere, an old man in a black cloak had appeared in a corner of the room.

The old man had blended into the darkness, and one would not see him if one wasn't looking carefully.

Hound shouted, “Who are you! Get out of here now. If you dare to interfere, I will take your life!”

The old man gradually walked up to Hound. “You are not worthy of knowing my identity.”

His voice was hoarse and terrifying.

As the old man approached, he lifted his hood.

When they saw his appearance, everyone trembled in horror.

He only had half a face, as the other half had been scorched by fire.

His features were contorted, and his face was covered by rotting flesh. It was a disgusting sight indeed.

Some of Hound's men puked on the spot.

However, Hound managed to remain calm. “I don't care who you are, but we have Fourth Lord backing us. Y-You cannot harm us.”

Fourth Lord?

The old man in a black cloak mocked, “He doesn't qualify either. Hand over the child.”

He reached out to grab Missy.

Hound slapped the man's hand away by reflex. “Get lost! You are just looking for trouble.”

The old man was outraged.

With a flick of his fingers, he sent a cloud of black smoke flying toward Hound, and it hit him squarely on his body.

When it came into contact with Hound, a massive force pushed him backward, causing him to crash into a wall. Consequently, he vomited blood repeatedly.

What's going on?

Hound's men were terrified by the scene.

With just a flick of fingers, the old man had sent a brawny man that weighed a hundred and eighty pounds flying without even touching him.
