Chapter 286: Guardian Of The Lower Hall

A loud scream echoed in the silent passage that Rutherford had entered after leaving the room he had been in earlier.

However, the Earl felt no pity for the man whose shouts of anguish had now died down.

'To scheme against my child is to scheme against me!' He gritted his teeth as he continued to walk ahead in the direction that would lead him to the exit of the Lower Hall.

The fact that he had not hesitated to use the nobles of the society as a shield for his excessive behavior was causing the Earl to lose his cool once again.

However, he soon realized something, something vital and frightening.

'The nobles are much worse than that petty servant…' He inferred as he had dealt with them several times during the course of his business transactions.
