Chapter 396

v 396 Chapter 396 Lucas’s expression remained unreadable beneath his mask as he replied calmly, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Your Highness Spies from twenty years ago? We’ve never had any.”

Before Nolan could respond, the sharp whistle of an arrow cut through the air.

“Clang Lucas was prepared. His blade flashed, slicing the arrow cleanly in two But a scream rang out from behind him the next second. “No!”

Lucas tumed sharply, only to see another of his men killed Lucas’s expression was gloomy.

“You’d better think it through before you answer. Otherwise, every wrong word you say will co cost you another man.” Ross glanced at Lucas’s few remaining followers and sneered, “When they’re all gone, you’ll have no choice but to join them in hell “How despicable and shameless,” Lucas spat through gritted teeth..

But the next second, with a puff and a scream, another man fell.

Lucas was stunned when he realized that with every curse he spat, another of his men fell dead.

Ross sighed. “I told you, think carefully before you answer.”

Lucas immediately clenched his fists tightly.

Behind him, only three subordinates remained.

The three people shrank back in fear, nervously glancing at their leader, as if they were terrified Lucas might say something he shouldn’t have again.

“So, have you made up your mind? Prince Nolan doesn’t like repeating himself, and his patience is running thin, Ross urged.

Nolan, whose patience was indeed wearing thin, frowned slightly.

palpable. As his gaze His crimson eyes burned with murderous intent, and the suffocating aura radiating from him was palp swept over Lucas and his men, it felt like he was deciding who to kill next.

Lucas could stay calm, but his subordinates could hardly stand Nolan’s oppressive presence.

It was a murderous aura forged through countless battles. Just standing in its presence was enough to suffocate one with dread.

Therefore, it didn’t take long before one of them began trembling uncontrollably.

“Yes.. There was a spy.“Lucas gritted his teeth, hesitating for a long time before finally forcing out those words.

“Who was it?” Nolan asked Lucas shook his head. “I don’t know... Don’t act rashly.”

Sensing danger when he said that, Lucas quickly explained, “I truly don’t know. Back then, I was just a junior in the clan, unqualified to know such things, let alone my subordinates. But I know every member who leaves our clan for other places is implanted with a tracking parasite to ensure we can locate them later. And this time, we were originally trying to find the clan member who infiltrated Bortenland over twenty years ago. Unfortunately, he’s already dead.”

“Dead?” Nolan narrowed his eyes slightly Lucas hurried to elaborate, “Yes. We’re not lying to you. We can no longer detect him with the tracking parasite. In our clan, as long as someone is alive, the tracking parasite will always locate them. Moreover, the parasite is difficult to remove Forcing it out is almost always fatal. That spy was of mixed race, physically weaker than our clan members. Surviving after forcibly removing the parasite would have been impossible for him.”

“Exactly “That’s why Mr. Carter said he’s dead. Those three subordinates nodded in agreement promptly.

Nolan glanced at them coldly, and they immediately shut their mouths. Turning his icy gaze back to Lucas, Nolan asked in a chilling tone. “Do you even know what your spy did in Bortenland?”

Lucas shook his head immediately. “I don’t know”

“Whoosh!” An arrow zipped past Lucas’s head Successfully unlocked!

No one died this time, but it almost killed Lucal could we know Lucas gritted his teeth, his face pale as a ghost. “I swear I don’t know. We haven’t found him yet, so how could we what he’s done?”

“Then let me tell you exactly what your spy has done.” Nolan’s voice was cold and merrilare 306 Chapter sentence. “He framed the Bennett family for treason, leading to the slaughter of hundreds of its members. So, tell me now. how do you plan to repay this debt?”

Lucas’s face drained of all color. “That’s impossible. If that spy did something like that, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”

Nolan’s smile was faint, but it carried a chilling bloodlust. “But didn’t you just say you couldn’t reach that spy? He’s already dead, so how can you be so sure he didn’t do it? So, let’s take it that he did it. Should I settle this debt with your clan? Or should I take it up with every foreign tribe beyond our borders?”

Cold sweat poured down Lucas’s face Under the crushing pressure, his breathing quickened, and he was at a complete loss for words. Just as he struggled to complain, Nolan spoke again. “Third question“.

Nolan didn’t need his answers to the earlier questions. He only needed the lead of the tracking parasite.

As for who the spy was, how to deal with him, and whom to hold accountable, Nolan had already made up his mind.

So, after thoroughly intimidating Lucas, Nolan casually posed another equally deadly question. Were the assassins who wiped out the Padilla family back then also from your tribe?”
