The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 28.4

Scarlet Rose [ABO] – What Happens When the Villain Dies at the Beginning? (12)

Blood Owl suddenly grabbed Maupay's wrist and forced his hand open, feeling the sweat on his palms.

“What are you nervous for?” Blood Owl's voice sounded exceptionally gloomy and cold, “Let me guess, do you regret betraying Payne?”

Maupay immediately lifted his head, his gray eyes exposing the panic at having his thoughts exposed, “No!”

Blood Owl chuckled, evidently not believing him, and suddenly asked, “Do you want to rescue him?”

Maupay widened his eyes, not knowing how to respond. In front of Blood Owl, he was completely seen through.

He knew Blood Owl had the least tolerance towards betrayals. He had seen the countless violent ends traitors had been met with, death being the least severe.

Maupay instantly regretted having those traitorous thoughts.

“What? Are you scared?” Blood Owl embraced Maupay, his cold mask pressing against Maupay's face.

Maupay felt the coldness on his cheek and felt his scalp turn numb, but he didn't dare move and continued standing there stiffly. He was scared that a single move would lead to his neck being snapped.

He didn't expect Blood Owl to whisper in his ear, “Don't worry child, I'm not here to settle accounts with you. I can let Payne go and promise not to hurt him as long as you follow my instructions. Otherwise.” Blood Owl raised his head and said regretfully, “Do you still remember Daru?”

Maupay definitely still remembered the Alpha that was sent to the Zerg planet after exposing their group's information.

That punishment was carried out by Maupay, and he personally watched as Daru was sucked dry, becoming a monster that wasn't quite human or ghost.

“Yes, I will obey your orders.” Maupay promised as he trembled.

He now wanted to slap himself. How could he be so naive and even think about betraying Blood Owl?

Who was Blood Owl? Only the most cold-hearted and tyrannical underground boss in the entire galaxy!

Even if you left the galaxy, you might not be able to escape from him!

“Very good.” Blood Owl gently caressed Maupay's face, wiping away a drop of sweat from his forehead with his cold finger. He looked at Maupay's terrified expression in satisfaction as he said, “Child, life is the most important thing. Don't go looking for death.”

After instructing Maupay on what he needed to do, Blood Owl left the cell.

Lu Shijin thought back to Maupay's expression just now and felt a bit regretful, did he scare the child a bit too much?”

“Not just a bit, from what I saw, he was about to faint.”

Lu Shijin made a strong argument, “If I didn't exaggerate a bit, how could I be able to intimidate him?”

711 silently insulted, You're not like a devil, you are a devil.

On the third day, Lu Shijin was taken from the shared cell.

Payne didn't know where Lu Shijin was brought and was filled with worry when the cell door suddenly opened again.

Two guards, holding Maupay and Rondon, were standing outside.

“Your Highness!” Seeing Payne after so long, Maupay was very glad that he didn't suffer much, “It's great that you're okay.”

“What are you doing?” Payne saw his subordinates and wasn't sure what was happening.

One of the guards expressionlessly said, “Master Blood Owl has stated that you three can now leave.”

Payne didn't feel any joy at surviving through the disaster and anxiously asked, “Why only three? Where's the fourth person?”

The guard replied, “Master Blood Owl has only said you three can leave. We do not know anything else.”

Payne was still unwilling to leave Lu Shijin behind, “What about Lu Shijin? What did you do to him? I need to know his situation!”

The guard ignored Payne and continued urging, “You guys should take advantage of master Blood Owl's grace and leave before he changes his mind. This isn't a place to bargain.”

Payne's face turned ugly and it seemed like he was about to snap. Maupay quickly urged, “Your Highness! Don't act rashly! Major Lu sacrificed himself for Blood Owl to let us leave! If you don't go, aren't you wasting his efforts?”

Payne turned pale at those words and his body swayed as he said in disbelief, “What did you say? What did he do?”

Maupay knew that Payne had the wrong idea and hurriedly explained, “Don't worry, he's very safe, without any threat to his life. Also, he told me to give this to you.”

Maupay took out a button and gave it to Payne.

Payne accepted it and pain gradually etched itself over his eyebrows.

This was a signal between him and Lu Shijin. If Lu Shijin was sure he was pregnant, he would find some way to give him something personal.

Lu Shijin must have told Blood Owl he was willing to stay behind with the child to act as hostages, so Blood Owl let them go!

Payne felt very sad and wished he could switch places with him, but he remembered Lu Shijin's advice before he left.

The days ahead were long. Only by leaving here could he later think of ways to rescue him, as long as he didn't act rashly.

Payne, with a sorrowful expression, followed the guards out, clenching the button forcefully in his hand. He used so much force that the button broke his skin and fresh blood leaked out from his palms, dripping onto the ground.

Seeing Payne's pained expression on screen, Lu Shijin felt his heart waver.

He sincerely asked 711, “Convenience store, what do you think would happen if the royal found out that the demon who took away his lover and his lover are the same person?”
