“Remove the thoughts about betraying me out of your head and the pain will subside”
After torturing him for a good 15 minutes, Nux suggested.
After what could be said the worse pain he ever experienced, Alger heard Nux’s next words and quickly did as he was told.
Actually, Nux found out that once the pain starts, the target doesn’t have the time to think about betraying him or anything along those lines since the pain is already too much.
The requirement is to be loyal to him. Once the target thinks about being loyal to him, the pain will subside.
Of course, when assaulted with that level of pain, no one would be able to think about anything, and the pain will continue until someone tells the target to be loyal to Nux.
Nux could stop the pain, but he wanted to torture him a little as a punishment for attacking Edda and Fel.
‘Haah… haa… haahh…’
Alger breathed heavily after the pain subsided.
“Now stay loyal to me. If you even think about betraying me, the pain will return and it will be even more powerful than before. Remember that”
Alger’s whole body shuddered in fear when he heard him.
Betraying Nu- Master?
No way, he will become the most loyal servant the world has ever seen.
If his Master wants him to do anything, he would do it. Even if it costs him his life!
He just doesn’t want to bear that horrifying pain again.
“Y-Yes Master”
“Good, now take the antidote and cure your numb legs”
“There is no antidote for this Master. The numbness will subside within 30 minutes”
“Haah… whatever. Just stay on the floor then”
Saying that, Nux took back Alger’s ring again and stored everything in his inventory before throwing it back at him.
He then lay on Alger’s bed comfortably as he questioned.
“So, where does that ‘One’ live?”
“One? She and her assassins live in the back of the mansion. However, master, I will warn you though, One has killed a few Expert Stage Cultivators, so be careful around her.”
Although Alger wanted to ask how he learned about One, as a loyal servant, he did not and just answered his question. However, he still warned his Master about how strong the woman he was asking about is.
Nux nodded before he closed his eyes and waited.
‘How was it? Success?’
Suddenly, he heard Fel’s voice in his mind.
‘Yes, he is now under me’
‘Good, now let’s discuss the second part again to make sure it doesn’t fail’
‘Yes’
Nux smiled as he, Skyla, Lane, Fel, and Edda discussed the next plan. Well, only Fel and Nux were discussing, the other three were just silent and saying a few words a few times.
…
Half an hour later, Alger’s numb legs returned to normal. Since he had already taken a few healing potions, the cuts in his legs were almost healed as well.
At the very least, he could stand up and move around now.
However, seeing Nux ‘sleeping’ on his bed, he thought about dealing a killing blow, but the horrifying pain returned.
This time, however, he quickly removed the thoughts about betraying him and replaced them with him being loyal to him and the pain subsided.
He didn’t scream in pain since he did not want Nux to know about him thinking about betraying him. This also ensured him that whatever N- Master said before was right, the pain will return every time he thinks about betraying him even if the Master himself is sleeping.
This solidified his resolution to remain loyal even further.
“Master, I am healed now”
He then called him out politely.
Nux’s eyes opened as he woke up. He then glanced at Alger standing beside him with a respectful look on his face.
“Now, tell me about your personnel army, is it also under the control of the Kingdom of Skadi?”
Alger was surprised that his Master knew the name kingdom supporting him.
One had to know, even the Thousand Information Chamber doesn’t know the name of the kingdom.
How did he know?
However, although he was surprised, his body moved on its own and answered the Master’s question.
“No, my army is under my control”
Baron, Viscount, and Earl aren’t allowed to keep their private armies, however, the same is not true for Marquees and Dukes, these two noble ranks have the permission to keep their private army that listens to their orders.
Of course, they are required to tell the name of every single soldier and his cultivation stage to the kingdom. If somehow, a soldier whose name is not mentioned is found, the punishments are very harsh.
“Alright, take me to your general or whatever is the highest position”
“As you command, Master”
…
The two of them walked towards the head of the Bannermane army’s room.
Yes, since he was the Head of the army, he was required to stay in the mansion. Not that he complained either, the room he and his family was provided with was very lavish and safe, so he was happy to oblige.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Alger then knocked on the door, actually, he always calls him through a servant whenever he needs but since Nux has ordered him to take him there, he obliged to like the obedient servant he was.
“Hm? Marquees Alger? What brings you here in the night?”
The head of the army, Hawk Reed, opened the door as he questioned.
Nux could feel that he was a Late Master Stage Cultivator without using his [Eye Of Discerning] and nodded.
Then without wasting any time, he asked what he was here for.
“Hawk Reed, are you willing to be my Slave?”
