Upon hearing this, Simon and the others tied the Werewolf, who was half-dead, to the roof of the second vehicle.

After the vehicle drove away, a Werewolf and a dirty, middle-aged man appeared at a dark street corner not far away.

After the Werewolf reverted to his original form, the two exchanged a glance, but both remained remarkably calm. There was no blaming, guilt, or sadness—because at that moment, they were filled with shock, fear, and relief.

Fortunately, after having those malicious thoughts, I didn't act on them. I was terrified of a Exotic Pathway Werewolf, Sequence Seven, who had been beaten half to death in a single encounter.

While the two were still in shock at the sight, the Sequence Seven Werewolf Beyonder, for some unknown reason, transformed back into Werewolf and attacked his companion.

Perhaps due to the sneak attack, this disheveled male Beyonder did not last long before dying at the hands of his companion.

After confirming his death, the Werewolf also collapsed to the ground within two seconds.

The Beyonder Characteristic were released at an abnormally rapid rate.

A few minutes later, several more people with tattered clothes fled to this place.

After anxiously waiting for a few seconds, the adult male with messy brown hair had no choice but to give up and take away only the Beyonder Characteristic of the Werewolf.

The next day, after kissing Vivian goodbye at the villa's entrance, Altair went to the manor's underground detention room.

Of course, "detention cell" is the current term; before Roselle's legal reforms, they were called dungeons, Interrogation Room, or Manor Court Attached Detention Room.

After walking a few steps, Altair arrived at the underground entrance to the manor's detention room.

When the guard opened the iron bars, Altair heard a harsh sound as the gate closed, a sound caused by the rusty iron bars and disrepair.

Having just entered the gate, and not far along, Altair heard interrogation sounds coming from the Interrogation Room and smelled a strong stench of blood.

After smelling the blood, Altair felt as if a small beast was scratching at her heart with its claws, putting her into an extremely peculiar state of excitement.

As if yearning for something, following this instinct, Altair gently lifted her skirt with her hand, her steps becoming smaller and faster, and she impatiently rushed into the Interrogation Room.

Upon entering, Altair immediately saw the "prisoner" chained to a torture chair.

To Altair's disappointment, the interrogation had already ended, and the doctor and comforters were "doing their best to treat the prisoner."

Upon seeing Altair enter, Simon immediately and respectfully presented the interrogation results.

"Jeremy Steele, male, 29 years old, Commoner, member of the Rose School and Indulgence Faction of the South Continent, Prisoner Pathway, Sequence Seven Werewolf, just advanced six months ago----"

"Residing permanently in Bayam, the capital of the Rosted Islands and City of Generosity ----"

"Our arrival in Bexland is on a mission from Jax, the Demigod of the Rose School's Shanks Indulgence Faction, to assist the other members in eliminating the Temperance Faction's traitors: Sequence Five Vengeful Soul Sharron, Sequence Seven Werewolf Maric, and..."

The reason for intercepting the carriage was to earn some extra money before completing the mission.

The more Altair read through this intelligence, the more he wanted to laugh. What did they mean by trying to rob someone just because they were well-dressed?

If she's attractive, he'd like to rape her first and then kill her—after eliminating the traitors, he wants to stay in Bexland to establish a base and develop followers.

As he watched, Altair involuntarily let out a chilling laugh. He then looked at the group around him and said, "Give him a good medicine that can continuously regenerate his flesh and blood. Go and call in a few more people with 'stable and calming' mental abilities; I want to have some fun."

After saying this, Altair turned to look at the Torture Tools beside him: whips, iron caltrops, Branding Iron, splints, and Bone Crusher.

He started selecting items as if he were shopping, and after picking up the whip, he tried out different ways to apply force.

Once everyone was ready, Altair immediately began the game.

As the game progressed, the prisoners' screams, carried through the slightly ajar door, gradually reached the dungeon gate.

Altair was forced to end the game just before noon, because she felt that if she continued playing like this, she wouldn't be able to digest the Joy Potion " anymore.

After tossing the iron whip aside, Altair said to Simon, "Go and apply the medicine to him. I haven't had enough fun yet—"

After saying that, Altair left the dungeon with a joyful dance.

But her behavior did not make people feel elegant or pleasing to the eye. After all, no one would appreciate a crazy girl covered in blood who can dance, even if the girl is very beautiful.

Back at the manor villa, after a quick wash, Irene delivered a visitor's letter from Bishop Electra of the Church of Evernight.

After a brief glance, Altair understood his purpose. He had come that afternoon on behalf of the Church of Evernight to consult, inquire, and reassure Altair, and to handle the recent Werewolf attack.

After reading the main content of the letter, Altair went to his study and began to reply to Bishop Electra, confirming the time to meet that afternoon.

Although it was supposed to be a mutual consultation to determine the time, it was no different from a notification.

After finishing their morning worship services, the monks in the church generally have their afternoons and evenings to themselves.

It can be said that being a monk in the church is the easiest, most leisurely, and safest job of this era.

The only drawback and barrier is that it only accepts students "graduated from its own Theology School".

Without such restrictions, the church would be overwhelmed with believers coming to ask the monks for work every day.

As for why they didn't just go to Altair's home and force him to have a "Klein- style" hypnosis consultation, that is...

It can only be said that their backgrounds and social statuses were different. In a sense, Altair was a special case of someone with connections.

Moreover, if Bishop Electra and his ilk did this, they would be violating the "Church Restriction Law" and the "Noble Protection Law," so there was no need for them to cause trouble.

After writing the letter and sealing it with hot wax, Altair prepared to hand it to Irene, who was standing aside waiting.

But seeing Irene's current appearance, Altair couldn't help but have a flirtatious thought, so when she handed over the letter, she deliberately pulled her into her arms.

He asked in a soft, breathless voice in her ear, "Irene, how's your recovery going?"
