They were surrounded by danger, and with danger comes pressure. The pressure slowly got to Stephen. He urgently wanted to know how he could make sure he was safe. The fact that the prince was not planning on playing nice sent his temper out of control.
He rushed over and grabbed the prince's neck, causing the prince to struggle to breathe. Fane frowned and pulled Stephen away.
He said unhappily, "Control your temper. You'd be doing what he wants if you kill him!"
Stephen's hands trembled, and his expression remained incredibly angry. His lips were trembling from anger as he stared at the prince viciously. He slowly calmed himself at Fane's words.
He looked at Fane anxiously, wanting to remind Fane to mind the time and to quickly extract what they wanted to know. Otherwise, they could very well be forced into a corner. However, Stephen could not say it in front of the prince.
Fane sighed in exasperation, nodding at Stephen. There was no need for Stephen to care about it at all. Stephen understood what Fane meant, and he was forced to retreat while controlling his temper.
Fane looked at the prince again, "I'll give you one last chance! If you don't say anything, I'll let you live!"
Those words stunned the prince, but Rudy understood what Fane meant because Fane had threatened others like this before. Before the prince could ask, Fane continued to say, "I'll use my technique to slowly eat your soul away. Without your soul, you won't be able to use your power, and won't even be able to control yourself. However, I won't kill you. I'll snap all your limbs and toss you outside.
"You'll live. As the prince, your race won't give up on you. You'll live like that, but all your former competitors will mock you mercilessly. It will be like hell on earth."
Fane's words were like nails slamming into the prince's heart. The strong ruled the Demon Spirit Kingdom. Without his strength, he would live a pathetic life.
Behind all that talent and who he was, he had offended many people everywhere. They would definitely not let go of the chance to torture him. He would not even be able to kill himself and would be forced to bear the humiliation.
Thinking about that, the prince could not help but shudder. The fear was worse than the pain of his soul being eaten away just now. He started to breathe faster as he slumped down, thoroughly defeated by Fane. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Fane smirked. When the warriors from the second-grade worlds saw that smile, they shuddered. They were thankful that they were on the same side as Fane. Fane appeared noble, but he had incredibly cruel methods.
Even Stephen could not help but lean back after hearing those threats. He swore to himself to never oppose Fane if he left the place alive.
The others could do what they wanted, but he did not want to meet Fane ever again. Fane was just too scary, whether it was his methods or his skills, both of them caused Stephen to feel great fear.
The prince was finally subdued. It gulped and said, "Ask me whatever you want. I'll tell you everything I know, but grant me a quick death."
