Capítulo 144: Chapter 144: Dean Bruce Takes Action!

"There are many who've wanted to kill me," Dean Bruce said calmly, "but none have succeeded. The souls of all those who disappeared—are they in that courtyard? Where are their bodies?"

"And why should I tell you?"

Miranda Joy replied, her face twisted in a mocking smile.

Dean Bruce remained composed. "If you don't answer, do you think you'll survive? Your father may not be so eager to protect you."

At these words, Prani Joy fell silent. Though he didn't hold much affection for Miranda, he wouldn't harm his own daughter.

However, he also knew that Dean Bruce was his savior, and helping Miranda could very well cost him his life.

With this thought in mind, Prani Joy's tone turned cold. "Miranda, tell us where the bodies are, or I will ensure you never leave this place! Rulda, prepare to act—don't let her escape!"
