Chapter 235: Threads of Fate Unravelling - 3
Li, who was watching Jaegar, said, "That stupid kid, he is trying to use magic again and again, if you push him further, he will become crippled. And we don\'t want that."
Lorcan stopped laughing, and his annoyance was clear. "You do know who I am, right?" He asked Li, keeping his annoyed expression clear upfront.
Li\'s dismissive retort cut through the air, a cold rebuttal to Jaegar\'s defiant words. "Boy, you are just a prince, fortunate enough to have been born into the imperial family. That name you carry is the only reason I\'m hesitating from beating the life out of you. So finish your stupid little dumb farce and be done with it.
You\'re only wasting my time here," he scoffed, his tone dripping with disdain for Jaegar\'s perceived privilege.
As Li spoke, Lorcan, perhaps frustrated by the exchange or relishing in Jaegar\'s suffering, let out a groan and callously stomped his feet on Jaegar. He was taking his anger on Jaegar, who couldn\'t feel any pain at this point from this.
Lorcan seemed to be afraid of making any moves against Li, and he didn\'t want to argue any longer with him. Whoever he was, Li must be a person of significant influence or power for Lorcan to be so cautious. Perhaps Li was someone with connections or resources that could cause trouble for Lorcan if provoked further.
Regardless, it was clear that Jaegar\'s suffering was only serving to amuse Lorcan, making the situation all the more frustrating for Jaegar. Your next read is at m v|l-e-NovelBin
Seeing Jaegar, Diana, holding Jaegar\'s face tenderly, observed the anguish etched on his features.
Lorcan turned his attention back to Jaegar and saw Diana holding Jaegar. He pushed his thoughts about Li aside, and an evil grin crept up on his lips as he croched down near Diana.
As she attempted to soothe him, Lorcan\'s hands traced an unwelcome path along her back. A sudden jerk caused her to recoil, and a sharp rip followed, accompanied by Lorcan\'s callous laughter. "Man, she sure screams like a pig," he remarked callously.
Jaegar, moving with deliberate determination, slowly crawled towards Diana, his head gently resting against her tear-stained cheek. Despite the torn and dishevelled state of her dress, revealing her vulnerable, naked back, Diana clung to Jaegar\'s face. Her tears mingled with the blood trickling down her face, and she implored Lorcan to cease his torment, oblivious to her compromised state.
The gravity of the moment hung heavy, a cruel tableau of suffering, as Jaegar and Diana clung to each other amidst the chaos that Lorcan had wrought.
Ethan, who had been standing beside Lorcan all along, was also relishing the act of seeing Jaegar suffer.
Lorcan continued to revel in the scene, his sadistic pleasure evident. "Yeah, it sure is a spectacle, Ethan. Look at that bastard crawling like a dog."
Ethan\'s gaze oscillated between Jaegar and Diana, his lips moistened seeing her naked back. He couldn\'t help but feel a surge of desire, fueling his sadistic tendencies even further. Lorcan\'s malevolence seemed to know no bounds as he revelled in the power he held over Jaegar and Diana, relishing every moment of their suffering.
The air was thick with tension, as if time itself had frozen in this twisted display of torment.
Ethan\'s resentment lingered in his mind. The vivid recollection of Jaegar stealing his girlfriend in an intimate display of humiliation fueled Ethan\'s desire for retribution. The visceral need to inflict the same emotional pain upon Jaegar surged within him as he fixated on Diana\'s plight.
Meanwhile, the men adorned in turquoise, accompanying Li, shared a collective sense of repulsion at the display before them. Such cruel treatment stood in stark contrast to their own code of conduct when dealing with adversaries.
Li, however, diverted his attention to the distant eastern horizon as the sky rumbled with the ominous crackle of lightning. He sensed their presence in the far closing inclosing ing on them.
Emerging from the stormy backdrop were figures on broomsticks swiftly approaching their location. Li, squinting his eyes, discerned the unmistakable attire of witches from the spire.
A sense of intrigue mingled with apprehension as the mysterious women drew nearer, their identities shrouded in the magical aura that surrounded them.
The impending arrival of these enigmatic figures signalled an unforeseen twist in the unfolding drama, casting a shadow over Lorcan\'s malevolent revelry. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the witches of the spire closed in, their intentions veiled in the secrets of the arcane.

Not long before the unsettling events unfolded, Angelina, having received word about Jaegar\'s sudden disappearance, found herself grappling with concern and uncertainty.
The ominous phenomenon in the sky caught her attention, and the turbulent clouds and thunderous echoes evoked memories of Jaegar. With each passing moment, her apprehension deepened. She had witnessed Jaegar attracting the same phenomenon twice, and she thought it might be related to him.
As Angelina delved deeper into her thoughts, she couldn\'t shake the feeling that Jaegar\'s disappearance and the strange phenomenon happening must be connected.
Harnessing the power of her magic, Angelina endeavoured to locate Jaegar through a tracking spell that she placed on him after his visit to the farmhouse. However, the connection was severed, leaving her with only a vague sense that he was in the vicinity of the imperial capital.
Angelina\'s heart raced as she realized the gravity of the situation. She knew she had to act quickly if she wanted to find Jaegar and uncover the truth behind the mysterious phenomenon.
The enchanted bracelets, now bound to Jaegar, obscured any precise details.
Undeterred, Angelina dispatched her most skilled allies to scour the areas near the capital in search of Jaegar.
Driven by an urgency she couldn\'t ignore, Angelina herself journeyed to the capital—a place she hadn\'t visited in years. Her arrival set the palace into a buzz of activity, and her presence was felt by all.
Upon reaching the palace, she encountered Vivianne on the balcony, the two women drawn together by the unfolding stellar disturbance. The entire capital, steeped in unrest, mirrored the turmoil in the sky, and Angelina\'s return only heightened the tension within the palace walls.
Inquiring about Jaegar\'s whereabouts from Vivianne proved fruitless, as she learned he wasn\'t present in the capital. A concern compelled Angelina to trust her instincts, guiding her to a place she believed Jaegar might be. She knew about the cabin at the top of the mountain, which was just a couple of miles from the capital. She had visited the cabin two or three times when Augusta was presnt.
She guessed that if Jaegar was in the capital, he may be on the mountaintop. It was a rough guess, but she had to try everything possible.
Without divulging details to Vivianne, she instructed her to remain in the palace, sensing an impending need for her presence. The capital was already in the turmoil because of the impending phenomenon in the sky.
Vivianne had sent a few soldiers to the city to look for Jaegar.
Embarking on her mission with the women from the spire, Angelina\'s thoughts raced back to the cabin where Augusta once dwelled. The recollection was hazy, given the cabin\'s secluded location amidst the densely forested mountains. Undeterred, Angelina and her coven spread out, weaving through the labyrinthine terrain in search of the elusive cabin.
The forest, enshrouded in an enigmatic stillness, concealed the secrets within its ancient trees. The witch women, attuned to the mystical energy that pulsed through the land, meticulously combed the area. As they ventured deeper into the heart of the wilderness, the distant silhouette of a cabin emerged, obscured by the towering trees.
Spotting human figures near the cabin, the spire women approached cautiously, their senses heightened. The discovery promised answers and perhaps the key to Jaegar\'s mysterious disappearance.
The air was charged with anticipation as they closed in on the cabin, unravelling the threads of destiny entwined within the secluded haven of secrets.
As the women on broomsticks descended upon the scene, Li keenly observed their arrival. One of them skillfully shot a flare from her wand into the sky, a signal that ignited a massive spark of fire, casting a brilliant glow above.
BOOM
Angelina, who was hovering at a distance as she watched the whole mountain, drawn by the fiery spectacle, swiftly made her way towards the source.
Li was a very perceptive man, he could even sense Angelina\'s presence from a distance.
Li, sensing Angelina\'s imminent arrival, wasted no time. He urgently directed his men to secure Jaegar, issuing a clear directive, "We\'re taking him. The spire witches are here, and that woman is on her way. Things are about to get messy once she arrives."
