Layna wasn’t a cruel person, but at this moment, she felt like she was because a person was screaming in pain right in front of her. Instead of feeling bad, she actually deeply enjoyed it. It was the first time in her life she felt such twisted pleasure.

The woman on the ground, screaming in pain, didn’t deserve any sympathy. The number of people she had ruined was probably uncountable. If Yaeger hadn’t had the foresight to ask Yunuen to request the Pharmacist’s Association’s president to protest in the grand prison, Layna would have been utterly ruined by now.

The screams, worse than pigs being slaughtered, continued. The soldiers and jailers still awake on the human wall were nothing but shocked. They couldn’t imagine the amount of pain a human had to be in to let out such horrifying screams.

“How do you feel? Better?” Yaeger looked at Layna and asked.

“Much better!” Layna nodded hard, her heart filled with joy. The feeling of being valued by someone else was awesome.

“Since…” Just as she spoke, Yaeger’s eyelids twitched, and her expression changed slightly. Layna, slightly confused by her expression, soon understood the reason.

An extremely powerful aura surged from afar, making the air itself feel heavy for a moment.

“Let’s go inside,” Yaeger quickly grabbed Layna’s hand and moved. The latter, returning to her senses, quickly followed with a worried look. The individual who released such a horrifying aura had to be dangerous!

Just as Yaeger and Layna entered the cell, a figure suddenly appeared before the human wall. Under the orange lighting, the warden, his face filled with scars, stared ahead like a villain, his eyeballs nearly popping out. The previous bad premonition had actually come true!

Behind him, the middle-aged Magician, the Warrior with a gray beard, and the short man subsequently arrived. They stared at the wall composed of humans, their faces twitching uncontrollably, expressions ugly with humiliation. This was nothing but utter humiliation to them, a massive slap in the face. The fortress prison, fear-inspiring and nicknamed as hell on earth, seemed like a joke right now.

“Hurry up and get them out!” Mark the warden clenched his fists and said angrily. If these were all prisoners, he would’ve acted already, not hesitating even if it meant killing them. However, they weren’t. Not to mention, the black-armored soldiers were all elites of the Empire; any harm to Farat would spell deep trouble for Mark.

‘Damn it!’ He was so angry he wanted to kill someone. However, the thought of Black-hearted Princess and Layna still being trapped made him calm down. They would never escape his grasp. ‘I have more than enough time to play with you!’ Mark quietly decided to torture them to half-death once captured. His plan was ideal, but its feasibility was uncertain.

Suddenly, faint spatial energy started appearing. “Oh no!” Mark’s mind flashed with inspiration, realizing something as he shouted, “They have a teleportation item!” The middle-aged magician expressed surprise.

When the gray-bearded Warrior and the short man heard this, they were also shocked. The possibility of Black-hearted Princess owning a teleportation item was dismissed by everyone due to its rarity and value. Yet, here she was, using it!

At this moment, Mark and the rest lost their patience, feeling the urge to break in and forcibly stop the teleportation. Unfortunately, that was impossible.

“Hurry up!” Mark urged, his face reddened. However, the human wall constructed by Yaeger was tightly packed; it wasn’t easily removed. After working together to remove several people and create a hole, Mark slid through like a snake to the other side of the corridor, then sprinted to the cell.

The moment he rushed in, his expression worsened, his eyes bloodshot and wide open. “Black-hearted Princess!”

He then screamed hysterically. There was absolutely nothing in the cell. “Ahhhhh!” Outside the cell, Rosalina’s screams continued. The roar and scream mixed together, creating a cacophony. On the other side, the Magician and the others also reached the cell, their expressions equally grim.

The legendary fortress prison, known as living hell and an impenetrable bastion, instantly lost all its reputation. The grand prison and its reputation, which they had been proud of, were now permanently stained. Worse of all, they intended to be entertained at first. But in the end, it turned out that they were the entertainers!

Anger, shame, and hatred. These complex emotions swirled in their hearts and mixed together, erupting like a raging torrent of darkness. Their hatred towards Yaeger would never be washed away, no matter how much water was used.

At the edge of the wasteland, spatial power expanded. Two figures emerged from thin air. It was Yaeger and Layna. They had come out of that so-called living hell, unscathed.

“This feels like a dream,” Layna was still in disbelief. Initially, she was nothing but desperate. But after what Yaeger did, she managed to take her revenge. Not only that, but she also escaped that horrible place. This was nothing short of unbelievable. ‘Princess is truly awesome.’ She quietly stared at Yaeger, emotions rippling in her heart.

A gust of wind blew through, carrying the smell of dirt and grass. Yaeger ruffled her jet-black hair, which was scattered by the wind, and looked at Layna. “We are safe here for now. What do you plan to do next?”

“My plan…” Layna exhaled gently. “Is it dangerous if I go back to Jade City now?”

“It is. Very much so. Especially since you are affiliated with me. That makes it worse,” Yaeger added.

“Then I won’t go back for now.” Layna enjoyed the feeling of liberation as she placed her hands on her back. She hadn’t traveled abroad for a long time. What happened now was a great opportunity.

“What do you plan to do?” Yaeger asked.

“I’ll return to my hometown first, then travel around the place and keep myself hidden,” Layna said truthfully. She was just a pharmacist, both uninterested and incompetent in the political affairs of the Empire.

“Of course. Have fun for a few days before coming back,” Yaeger spoke calmly. Instead of making Layna scurry around the city in hiding and live an abnormal life, it was better to let her travel around outside.

After all, Layna couldn’t help her in usurping the throne anyway. What bothered Yaeger most was that her business in selling medicine would be halted for some time. The losses would be heavy! ‘Red dog, I’ll settle my score with you eventually!’
