Daniuis didn't reply but sighed while holding Lucia in his arms. His hatred soared towards Jawan when he saw his son's miserable figure in the prison.

Nevertheless, time waits for none and Jawan had already been tortured to a great degree by that raven-shaped golden masked woman.

He patted Lucia's shoulders and said, "Let's leave first..."

Only then did Lucia wake up from her fleeting thoughts and Lucas entered her sight.

The moment she saw him, her mind suddenly clicked.

"Wait!" She abruptly shouted.

"Lucia, this place is not safe. Every second that pa.s.ses will turn against us."

Daniuis could only explain calmly as he didn't want to break her daughter's heart. Her heart was already hurt from Glyn's departure from the world and he didn't want to ruin her will to withstand struggles in the future.

Besides, he didn't also want her to think about those two masked people as they seemed really dangerous from the vibe they emitted.

Even the way they 'treated' Jawan still sent chills up his spine as even he didn't do something as ruthless as that ever before in his life!

Lucia hurriedly shook her head, "We need to get Nina before we leave. She's hidden in an Inn nearby!"

Daniuis frowned, "Since she's hidden, she can regroup with us later."

He wanted to escape with his children as soon as possible before the Tripart.i.te Alliance can catch wind of their tail.

After all, he didn't want the Tripart.i.te Alliance to find about his hideout where his three wives were safely hidden from potential danger.

That was where his last line of defense lied and if he was being chased, he felt that he'd rather not return!

Lucia turned aghast while Lucas suddenly spoke up, his tone a little bit hesitant, "Father, she has helped us a lot."

Daniuis frowned, even more, when he realized that his two children were jeopardizing their safety for an outsider.

He couldn't help but shout, "We would've all died if it weren't for those two mysterious experts! Do you two think we can host numerous people in our last hideout!? What if she is a traitor!?"

"Father! She's Glyn's Elder Sister!" Lucia instantly screamed back at her father.

Daniuis turned stunned as his expression turned ugly. He had treated them so good yet his daughter dared shout back at him for them?

"So what? I'm grateful to Glyn for protecting you but even we are in danger! Why don't you just understand that going to pick her up could potentially destroy our whole family!?"

Daniuis held Lucia's shoulders as he yelled back at her, trying to teach some sense into those stubborn eyes.

However, the answer he received sent him into a trance of disbelief.

"Because she is also a member of our family..." Lucia gazed back at her father's eyes as a fierce glint emanated from her as if she was no longer afraid of anything in this world.

"Nina carries Lucas's child in her womb..."

Daniuis and Lucas were both stunned. However, the former's reaction was instant as he held both of them and dashed to the air, "Why didn't you say so from the beginning!?"

At the same time, an enormous water domain formed below him, pressuring the remaining Arc Song Mercenary members to death! The ground caved in and the entire Royal Palace collapsed to the ground; underground to be exact.

Even Jawan died from the enormous amount of water pressure crus.h.i.+ng them to pieces, making him explode inwardly. Even his soul couldn't escape the suppressing oceanic mountain's wrath!

In less than a minute, they arrived at the place where Nina stayed but they couldn't find them.

Many onlookers had seen them flying from the Royal Palace, but when Daniuis casually cast his glance to the surface, none of them dared to match his gaze and instead lowered their heads.

Lucas turned anxious, "W-Where is she?"

At first, he felt disbelief but since Lucia was serious, he felt the matter she told to be true. He wanted to see Nina so badly that he was even struggling to move in his father's hold.

"She's not here..." Daniuis narrowed his eyes as he surveyed the Inn with his Soul Sense.

Lucas turned stunned. He couldn't move so he could only look at Lucia for help.

"Try searching the surroundings..." Lucia calmly spoke without frowning.

Daniuis nodded and extended his Soul Sense, however, he couldn't find any trace of Nina while his Elder Soul Stage pried into numerous formations of name people.

Fortunately, not all people who had owners.h.i.+p of the property in this region possessed formations capable of detecting an Elder Soul Stage Soul Sense.

His Soul Sense quickly spread out and he soon found out where Nina was, however the expression on his face turned blank as he muttered, "Why are they there!?"

Lucia and Lucas were both confused.

"Father, did you manage to find her?" Lucas worriedly asked again.

Right now, he hated himself for not being able to move. He felt so helpless.

"I did, but the ones who saved us are there with her..." Daniuis saw many things. Tons of people collapsed, including those people of Arc Song Mercenaries whom he had Intel on, and the place looked like there was a festival going on with lanterns and the like hanged all over the residence.

Especially, the masked people were there!

He didn't want to meet with them, especially when he had no idea why they took Glyn's corpse away even though they helped them.

Nevertheless, even after seeing all of this, Daniuis gritted his teeth and shot into the distance, in the direction where Nina was, "You are being punished after we get home, Lucas!"

Lucas's expression turned pale, however, he still nodded his head in obedience. Even if he experienced extreme torture, berated by his father could still leave him with a mental scar.

======

Davis looked at the three people who entered the hall, his expression still calm. He knew who exactly probed this area a while ago as his Soul Forging Cultivation was stronger than Daniuis's.

"Nina!" Lucas shouted in excitement despite his sorry yet b.l.o.o.d.y figure.

Nina turned stunned. Her eyes widened and she instantly disappeared from the place where she stood and appeared in front of Lucas in a flash, her eyes threatening to leak out tears.

She stood there stunned, not able to believe that he was tortured to this extent. Tears were cascading down her cheeks once she realized the man she loves was turned into this state.

She moved her hands and thought of interlocking with his fingers but there were none! Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something but no words came out.

Lucas awkwardly laughed, trying to placate her, but before he could even do that, his father let him down while she instantly caught him in her embrace.

To divert the topic, he could only ask and besides, he was extremely curious.

"Is it true? Our child?"

Nina tearfully jerked and nodded her head as she silently sobbed. Her heart hurt when she tried to imagine how much pain he had to experience before they left him alone.

Likely, she could guess that physical torture wasn't the only one they would have used on him.

Lucas turned ecstatic! His expression truly expressed how happy he had felt!

When his member was severed, he truly felt despair. He felt like killing himself, no longer have any will to live, however, the torture he was made to go through tempered his will instead.

He could no longer have children or feel s.e.xual bliss unless he could regenerate that part. Fortunately, the baby in Nina's womb was a blessing in despair!
