Lu An scratched the back of his head, looking at the lady who seemed to misunderstand her situation.

"It seems you misunderstand us, pretty lady. First, we are not from Xeodinia. Second, we just want to ask about the specific information about the tower, not about your kingdom wherever you come from. Third, we will set you free after you answer our questions. If you don't believe me, we can draft a contract." Lu An tried the soft approach.

The blond lady narrowed her eyes, and clearly did not believe the narration explanation to her, "Don't try to deceive me. That stupid contract does not mean anything. You can still kill me after I answer your question."

Lu An rolled her eyes, "The contract is useless but it can be used to determine if I am telling the truth or not, no? For example, we can use the contract to determine our identity that we are not part of the Xeodinia Kingdom."

The blond lady stayed silent for a moment, scanning the three individuals. It seemed she had not realized there was someone next to her yet. She had not glanced at the company next to her. After a while, she replied, "Then prove that you are not from Xeodinia with the contract first with the contract."

Lu An took out a contract scroll, creating the contract before dropping the blood on the contract, "What's your name, Pretty Lady?"

Being called Pretty Lady seemed to please her as she spilled her name easily, Darlene Sherry Voyles. The blond lady observed the three's expressions, trying to see their reactions after mentioning her name. There was no reaction as if they did not know anything about her. That made her think that the three kidnapped her without knowing who she was.

Lu An gave the contract scroll to the lady, cutting the rope that tied her hand with a single snap of his finger before handing the contract. She took the contract, the simple contract that would prove the three were not from the Xeodinia Kingdom, but the contract did not mention where they came from. Quite smart to hide that, but she could check the youngest's name.

"Lu An?" Darlene Sherry Voyles muttered as the name sounded strange. But the fact that the blood formed a seal was proof that was a real name, not a fake name. But that was not the name of her world for sure, she could tell that by the name, 'Is he from another world? But we don't have any conflict with the factions from another world.'

"Do you need help to cut your skin, Lady Darlene?" She was offered a dagger, but instead of taking the dagger, she pushed the contract scroll back to Lu An. The reason she wanted the youngest to make a contract was to find the name. She had achieved her goal, so there was no need for her to go through a painful experience for a silly contract like this.

"What do you mean by this, Lady Darlene?" Lu An confused, glancing at the contract and the lady's face, back and forth.

"I don't want to sign the contract," She tossed the scroll to the ground, shrugging.

Darlene paled as the innocent young man released a frightening aura. He still had an innocent facade. It was the aura that had killed a lot of people and beasts, not just some innocent young man should have. The aura suffocated her, causing her to stop breathing.

"I want to play it nice, but it seems you like it rough, hah?"

Darlene backed against the wall, then the whole cave was covered in shadow. She lost her vision and that made her terrified even more. She wanted to say something, but the words just could not come out of her mouth, "I will cooperate!" That was what she wanted to say, she was too terrified to speak.

Then she heard the fingers snapping noise. The shadow disappeared, her vision returned, and the young man was still in the same position. The frightening aura was not here anymore. She breathed heavily, trying to get air as much as possible into her system. Then she faced the innocent young man's face once more, but she could not see him the same anymore after what she just experienced.

"We ask, then you answer, that's it. We will set you free afterward." The Young Man instructed her, "If you fail to answer, then one of those daggers will hit you for real this time."

Darlene did not know what Lu An talked about at first, but then she realized there were five daggers next to her. She was standing, her hands holding the wall. There was a black dagger next to her neck, two daggers next to his arms, and two daggers next to her calf. The daggers were not there before, which meant the young man threw the daggers when she lost her vision.

"Do you have information about the boss floor?" Lu An took one step closer and questioned Lady Darlene.

The question generated more questions in her head, but she was not in a situation to satisfy her curiosity. Darlene shook her, "I don't know anything about the boss floor. This is my third day outside of the city."

Lu An blinked her eyes, then glanced at Tang Shaoyang. He seemed to realize he chose the wrong target.

"Then do you know the way to find the boss floor? Or any information about the boss floor?" Lu An changed the question.

This time Darlene cast a weird glance at Lu An, not just Lu An, but the other two as well. From those two questions, she could conclude that this was their first time entering the dimensional tower if they did not know how to find the boss floor. That was weird for someone this strong who came from the new world.I think you should take a look at

"I do know how to find the boss floor," Darlene answered, "But I have a condition."

Lu An furrowed his brow when he heard the last part, "It seems you misunderstand your situation, Darlene." He got rid of the formality, calling her name directly, "You are not in the position to make a request. You have forgotten the rule."

All five daggers moved on their own, returning to Lu An's hand. He picked one and aimed at Darlene, "If you still refuse to tell me how to find the boss floor, then this dagger will pierce your thigh. The last two daggers will ruin your face, believe me."

Darlene was scared of the threat and answered, "Alright! Alright! I will tell you," She raised her hands, indicating she gave up the condition, "You have to finish the quest. Finish a hundred quests issued by the system, then you will be given a location where the boss floor is. You can the quest as a faction instead of an individual."

Darlene observed the three cautiously, noticing the change of expression on their faces. This confirmed her suspicion that the three were newbies. This was their first time in the tower for not knowing such a basic knowledge of the tower.

That was good information, but something they could put into use. The three were far away from their Starter City. Then the Tang Empire was in a war against the other two factions. They could form a squad to finish the quest secretly, but Lu An who was their best at stealth was here. He could not take the quest. That would be hard for them to finish a hundred quests, meaning they needed an alternative.

"What about your faction? Has your faction finished a hundred quests," Lu An changed the question once more.

Since they could not finish a hundred quests, then they could find the boss floor location from the other factions. The simple alternative for them with their current situation.

"I think they did…" Darlene was not sure since she never gotten involved in her kingdom's affair. She did not know if the knight had finished the hundred quests, or if they focused on the resources.

The moment she answered that she lost consciousness once more. Her butt plopped on the ground as her body leaned to the side. That was Lu An's doing. He knocked her out before looking at Tang Shaoyang, "Do we need to interrogate the other one, Brother Shaoyang?"

"We need to confirm if she's telling the truth," Tang Shaoyang nodded, "Wake him up."

Lu An was gentler with the girl but different from the man. He slapped the man to wake him up, twice on both cheeks.

The man woke up with a sting on both of his cheeks. He also reacted differently than Darlene, more aggressive than her when he realized the situation he was in.

"You dare to hurt me! Do you know who I am! I am Julian Rong Holtan Karigan! The youngest son of the head of the Karigan Family!"

ƥandasnovel·ƈom Maybe the man used that name often to scare people away because that was the first thing that came out of his mouth. Lu An, who looked bored, threw one of the black daggers. The dagger landed on the thigh, causing the man to scream. His scream echoed in the cave, like a pig being slaughtered.

Lu An did not stop there, throwing another one on the other side, then another two daggers on the shoulders. Sweat, mucus, and tears mixed together on the man's face.

Lu An knew very well to handle the person who relied on their family name. The last one landed next to the man's neck, and it sliced open the skin. Julian paused, stunned at the sense of pain in his neck. He touched the neck and felt the blood.

Lu An squatted in front of Julian, holding the man's chin up, "You answer my question if you don't want that dagger to get into your neck. Do you understand?"

Julian nodded his head meekly, not showing any aggressiveness he had earlier. The interrogation was much faster than Darlene, and they confirmed Darlene was telling the truth.

"We have guests coming," Tang Shaoyang warned the other two as he spotted two big groups approaching the cave.

"We have a prince and a princess here. Of course, their guardian knights will come to look for them," Rosalie smiled, "I am quite excited for an actual fight. I want to try my new power."
