TranXending Vision

“Aaah!” A scream came from the door. The scream was dripping with a bone-chilling cry for help.

Xia Lei saw through the door and saw inside the room.

The room was not large. There were structures like a confession booth but that was obviously just a front. There were other torture devices in the room like whips, knives, a fire pit, brands, and more. Bray was holding a whip in the middle of the room while the Grey and Russo sisters knelt with their backs to him.

Bray waved his whip at Giovanna’s behind, slashing her clothing open and beads of blood flew. The whip was wet with blood and stained the bottom of his pants.

The kneeling Giovanna collapsed on the ground, took a look of terror at Bray and then crawled towards the corner of the room.

“Hehehe...” he smirked. “What’s the use of that? You all have committed a crime. This was the punishment given by the Father. This is the path to forgiveness. You must walk the entire journey yourself, not avoid it. Avoiding would just worsen your crimes, you’ll go to hell like that.”

“That’s enough!” Rosa screamed as if she had gone mad. “We did not commit any crime! We obeyed the principles of knighthood. We were loyal and brave, we lived for justice!”

Before she finished, Bray slashed his whip down on her. This came down harder than the previous one, tearing apart a large piece of her clothing. Her blood-soaked skin was revealed underneath.

Rosa held her bottom, looking at him defiantly. Her eyes were filled with rage and hatred, and deep regret.

“Hmmph, you have guts!” Bray laughed coldly. “Tell me, how did you all work with Xia Lei to kill Arthur? Tell me, and I’ll go easy on you.”

“What do you want us to do to make you believe us? We didn’t! We didn’t kill Arthur!” roared Theresa in tears.

“We’re knights, you can’t treat us like that!” Stella was crying too.

She was crying for many reasons, from the frustrations and unfairness of the entire situation.

“Knights? You were stripped of your titles. Right now, you all are just four criminals. Death is your only path for repentance. I can make it faster, or I can make it a very slow journey.” As he spoke, Bray waved the whip across Theresa’s back.

Theresa wailed and fell on the ground, curled up and shaking.

Bray did not have an ounce of sympathy, waving the whip on Stella. Her skin broke and blood flew.

Outside, Xia Lei was furious. He wanted to save all four of them this instant but he hesitated because he had to make sure they wouldn’t betray him the instant he saved them. This had already happened in Siberia after he spent so much effort in saving them, only to receive their betrayal. He was not going to let that happen again.

Crack!

It was the sound of the whip hitting flesh, scoldings and wails. Everything was mixed up together like a psychotic film.

After a few minutes, Bray finally stopped. He hadn’t changed his mind, he was just tired

The four of them curled up on the ground, the cold stone floor was scattered with fresh drops of blood and pieces of fabric. Their clothing had been torn in various places. They were slaves with no power or rank.

Their cries seem to excite Bray. He put down his whip and came to Giovanna. He grabbed a handful of her hair and then lifted her head up.

“What... what do you want?” Giovanna saw the urge in his eyes and she was instantly filled with fear and hatred.

Bray pinched her breast and then looked at them greedily. “If you all can satisfy me, I’ll make this short.”

“No!” roared Giovanna. “Just kill me!”

“Whore!” Bray slapped Giovanna across the face and spat. “You four can satisfy that disgusting Xia Lei, but you can’t serve me? You’re all dirty whores?”

When he was done, he pulled down his zipper.

At this moment, Rosa suddenly crawled up and pounced on Bray’s back. Seemingly at the same time, Stella and Theresa also pounced on him and grabbed his two legs.

The four of them finally retaliated!

However, they were all injured and weak, they were no match for Bray. Bray grabbed Rosa by her hair and then tugged her off his back.

Rosa fell heavily on the stone ground and could not get up.

Bray kicked Theresa away and then grabbed Stella’s hair, “You whore! Blow me, or I’ll kill your three sisters!”

At this moment, he pulled out a pistol at his waist and then pointed it at Giovanna’s head.

“Kill me! I beg you, kill me!” cried Stella. Satisfying Bray with her mouth was worse than death.

“Fuck! You think I wouldn’t do it? I’ll kill Giovanna now!” He let go of her hair.

“No!” Stella said helplessly. “I’ll do it!”

“Hahaha!” Bray let out a guffaw. “A whore will be a whore! Hahaha...”

Tears streamed from Stella’s eyes.

Bang!

The door of the room was suddenly kicked open.

Bray turned around instinctively and his arm turned to point the gun. Before he could point the gun at the door, a knife flew and lodged deep in his wrist.

Clatter! The gun fell on the ground.

A black shadow rushed in, leapt and kicked directly at Bray’s face.

Teeth and blood flew from Bray’s face. His nose immediately broke and blood started to flow out of it. His entire body flew in the air, falling heavily a few meters away.

The four girls looked at the black silhouette with widened eyes.

An Arabic lady?

How is that possible! Before they realised what had happened, the lady picked up the pistol on the ground.

“Who... who are you?” Bray crawled up and looked at the lady in fear.

“The new holy war has begun. You must repay the blood you owe.”

“You’re a man! Who the hell are you?” Bray slowly inched towards the door, distracting the ‘lady’. “Do you know where this place is? This is the Knight Hospitallers territory. Put down the gun and I’ll let you leave this place.”

The lady took off the headscarf to reveal a Chinese man’s face.

“It’s you!” Bray said in shock. He wouldn’t have dreamt that this person was Ma Lei!

Xia Lei turned to look at the four ladies and said flatly, “You idiots, what are you doing there? Close the door!”

Giovanna was stunned for a moment and suddenly cried, “It’s you!

“So it’s you!” said Rosa. “When I fixed your sheets today, I thought you looked familiar. I didn’t know it was really you!”

Stella called up to close the wooden door.

“What are you talking about? Who is he?” Bray sensed something but couldn’t confirm.

Xia Lei smiled and then rubbed several spots on his face. It was a delicate human mask. Beneath the mask was Xia Lei’s face.

Bray had never seen him before but he’d seen pictures of him. Now that Xia Lei revealed his face, he threw himself at Xia Lei. Before that, he bit back the pain to pull out the knife in his wrist, then stabbed it towards Xia Lei’s heart.

Xia Lei shook his head. He dodged the attack then grabbed Bray’s wrist and twisted it in the opposite direction!

“Ah!” Bray cried when he felt his wrist shatter.

Xia Lei chopped his palm on Bray’s throat, lifted him by his collar and smashed him heavily into the ground!

Thud! Bray fell heavily on the ground. All the air was knocked out of him, effectively cutting him off. All there was left was his laborious breaths. Xia Lei grabbed his neck once again. Bray could not even cry for help.

Xia Lei suddenly lifted a foot and stepped heavily between Bray’s legs.

“Ahh!” Bray wailed, his voice cracked.

“They’re my girls. My knights, yet you treat them like that! Fuck, you really want to die!” yelled Xia Lei. This was actually meant to be heard by the four girls.

“Mister... Xia...” Giovanna crawled up from the ground. “Why... Why are you here?”

“Because of you four.” Xia Lei glared at her. “I received news that you four had been stripped of your titles and became slaves. Arthur’s father wants to kill you all to avenge Arthur’s death. Could I have just sat idly by as you were tortured?”

As he spoke, he thought he sounded brave and valiant enough.
