As a mother, how could that woman let her daughter witness herself being tortured?

Unfortunately, the girl was completely stupefied. Her eyes were open wide and staring. At the same time, her tears flowed freely down her face. It could be seen that she had been frightened senseless.

“Wouldn’t it have been better if you had agreed earlier?” The sinister and vicious-looking man coldly snorted. He ground his foot into her chest several times. The sound of bone being dislocated rang out, but he acted as if he did not hear anything. Lowering his body, he snorted, “If you agreed sooner, you wouldn’t have to suffer like this.”

The woman’s expression was filled with pain. Even so, she gritted her teeth and refused to utter a single sound. She simply looked at her daughter and squeezed out a smile. It was too bad that that smile was uglier than if she had cried instead.

“You rotten wretch! You should be honoured that you caught my interest! How dare you refuse me?!” It seemed as though he had not tortured her enough and still wanted to vent his rage. More than that, he clearly enjoyed the feeling of trampling on this woman, his eyes filled with bliss.

Inside the teahouse, Yang Kai’s gaze cooled slightly. He and Li Jiao had watched the entire scene unfolding before them, so they knew exactly what had happened.

Although it was his first time in Half-Dragon City and he was not very familiar with the situation here, he couldn’t bear to continue watching the mother-daughter pair being tormented so badly under their noses anymore. Just as he was about to make a move though, Li Jiao stood up abruptly. Li Jiao was watching the woman being stepped on the ground with a shocked expression. There was a look of disbelief in his eyes and in the next moment, fury burned in him.

“It’s too late to beg for mercy now!” The sinister and vicious-looking man was still trampling that woman underfoot, “Neither you nor your daughter can escape. You will both come with me!”

While speaking, he grabbed the girl with one hand and reached out to grab the girl’s mother with the other.

At that moment, without warning, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. An imposing Emperor Pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the sinister and vicious-looking man.

The sinister and vicious-looking man was utterly shocked. Kicking out with his feet, he flew backwards and yelled, “Who!?”

Li Jiao stretched out his hand to form a fist, slamming it straight into that man’s face.

The sinister and vicious-looking man was horrified and hurriedly circulated his Emperor Qi to defend against the attack; however, the fist pressure became infinitely magnified in the next moment and smashed into his nose. Then, he was sent flying by that punch with a loud crack, sounding as if something had split apart. Concurrently, he lost his grip and the girl he had captured broke free from him.
