The heavy, ragged breathing and the stifled pain.

Hubert, dragged by the guards, had escaped to the eastern dock. Leaning against a rope post, he stared at the turbulent, rushing river, sighing helplessly.

"You don't need to protect me anymore. Go, quickly," Hubert said to the last guard who had stayed with him.

His injuries were too severe. There was no chance of escape, and he didn't want to be used as leverage against his daughter.

He had decided to die here, in this river...

Hubert said, "Father, I'm useless. I can't avenge you... Wait, I'll join you soon."

Hubert gritted his teeth, about to throw himself into the water.

But the guard behind him grabbed him, saying, "No. Lord, please don't. You can't die. Miss needs you. I won't leave. I will get you out of here."

Just as the guard spoke, something caught his attention. He suddenly turned to look behind.

"What a deep bond between father and son, and between master and servant."

Rikkert clapped slowly and indifferently, then said coldly, "But it's all in vain. None of you are leaving here today."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he darted forward, extending his hand to grab Hubert.

The guard desperately shoved Hubert aside, but the next moment, he was pierced through by Rikkert's sword.

"Quick... Run!"

"Stefan!" Hubert's eyes went red in an instant.

He looked at Rikkert, walking toward him, and shouted angrily, "No matter who

you are, even if the Baker family is down to one person, we will fight to the death with you!"

After saying that, without hesitation, he rolled and plunged into the river.
