At this moment, when Lord Cao Xing heard the figure of twenty million, he was also startled in his heart.
Goodness, this Earl is indeed wealthy, casually handing out such a large sum of money to a few strangers.
The middle-aged man said with a face full of panic: “Earl, I am truly sorry!”
“Please forgive us this once, we will definitely try hard to repay you.”
The other three people also begged for mercy, and they all knelt down, like slaves, on the ground.
“Earl, we truly realize our mistake.”
“We can swear to the Divine that we will definitely try our best to repay your money!”
“Please forgive us… ”
For a moment, the four people’s tears were flowing.
They used up every word they could think of, hoping to gain the Earl’s forgiveness.
However, Winston looked at the four people kneeling on the ground, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
“Do you think I care about that twenty million?”
“What I care about is that you dared to deceive me, that is simply insulting the intelligence of this Earl and trampling on the dignity of our family!”
“You know, an Earl’s dignity cannot be violated.”
Having said that, he looked towards the door and called out.
“Soldiers!”
Very quickly, a few soldiers hurriedly came over.
Earl Winston waved his hand and said directly: “Lock these guys in the Insect House for three days and three nights and don’t let them out.”
Upon hearing this, the four people’s bodies stiffened, and then they began to shiver uncontrollably.
They had all heard how terrifying the Earl’s Insect House was!
Ordinary people would die violently within less than half a day in there, and the way they died was extremely tragic.
And they had to stay inside for three days and three nights, which was even more unbearable than simply being killed!
“Earl, spare us, I dare not do it again!”
The woman also begged for mercy.
“Earl, please forgive me, I can serve you with my body, I’m begging you.”
“…”
However, Winston looked indifferent, completely ignoring their pleas.
Amid the sound of screams, the four swindlers were all taken away.
Winston seemed to have vented his anger, slowly letting out a breath of stale air.
A moment later, a trace of happiness reappeared on his face.
Then he looked towards Cao Xing and spoke.
“Thank you, Lord Cao Xing…”
He seemed unsure how to address Cao Xing.
“I am Cao Xing.”
Winston realized: “Thank you, Lord Cao Xing.”
“Then, I shall give you the reward for this bounty.”
Then he looked towards a small room behind him and said: “Melanie, go to the storeroom in the back and fetch two million Crowns.”
“Yes… my lord…”
A soft voice came to his ears.
Soon, a tall woman, nearly 1.9 meters in height, gracefully walked in.
She was dressed in a black, low-cut evening gown, the upper part of the gown was tight-fitting, clinging closely to her body, highlighting her voluptuous figure.
The revealing attire, almost half of her chest was exposed.
While the lower part was a fluffy skirt, like a black lotus.
Every step she took was full of charm.
Earl Winston looked at the gracefully walking woman, his eyes secretly filled with indulgence and lust.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing was deeply shocked inside.
Because he had seen this woman before.
The last time in Dorun Lake City, in that hidden little house, the Female Night Demon who faked her death!
Cao Xing sighed in his heart: “I didn’t expect this Enchanting Demon to flee to Merlin City and even infiltrate Earl Winston’s side.”
“And it seems like this Earl knows her identity, yet still keeps her by his side.”
