Apparently, Erick lived in a large castle.

Because all the buildings were surrounded by roads, it didn't give the impression of being inside a complex, even though it was actually part of a complex filled with huge castles.

Their number even reached thousands, covering an area ten times larger than Apple Town.

The Boundless Ancient City had far too many areas like this, so it wasn't special.

Richard and Grace descended directly onto the top of that castle.

The entire area was very quiet, so they arrived without hiding.

Within the castle, they sensed only two presences.

"This has a detection formation. If we try to enter normally, we'll be detected. However, as long as we manage to enter without triggering it, the formation will assume we're official guests," Grace said as she looked down toward the castle roof.

"It seems so, but only my void ability can get through without being detected," Richard replied.

"Put me inside your artifact and take me out again once you're inside," Grace said.

"Of course..."

Richard pulled Grace into the Dragon Hall before turning into void.

He entered directly by phasing through the rooftop, appearing in an empty room on the second floor.

After that, he released Grace from the Dragon Hall.

Grace looked around, slightly surprised that they had ended up inside a room.

However, her focus was clearly on the objective.

"He should be in another room, probably asleep," Grace said.

"Right..." Richard also assumed that.

He walked casually toward the door, not worried about being discovered by Erick Goldwood.

If Erick discovered them, they could simply capture him.

Even when opening the door, Richard did it as if it were his own house.

However, as soon as he opened it, he couldn't help but knit his brows, unsure whether to laugh or sigh.

Soft moans of pleasure—he heard them from afar thanks to his sharp hearing and the absence of any obstruction.

They came from the room opposite, whose door was wide open, though from the hallway Richard couldn't see the bed.

"That man isn't asleep," Richard said with a chuckle as he glanced at Grace.

Grace's expression didn't change at all.

Instead, she began walking directly toward the room.

Richard could only follow with a wry smile.

With their auras suppressed, and with Erick being far weaker than them—and busy having sex—he clearly wouldn't notice their arrival until he was already kidnapped.

In no time, they stood in front of the doorway and could see the entire room.

On a large bed beside the window, Erick was pressing down a beautiful blonde woman, his hips moving nonstop while the woman moaned continuously—soft, but with barely any pause.

Even though they were already standing in the doorway, the two of them still didn't notice the strangers watching.

What surprised Richard was how Grace remained extremely calm.

"Grace, what's your view on something like this?" Richard asked, feeling they had enough time to talk as long as he spoke quietly.

"Why are you asking that?" Grace responded.

"I'm just curious… Do you think it's dirty or beautiful?"

Richard was interested in Grace's perspective—she always appeared calm and cold, yet she was aggressively affectionate in physical contact.

"Many see it as dirty, shameful, and disgusting, yet they still do it—like your mother. Of course, I understand since this is the natural desire of the body."

Richard, "…"

While they continued talking, Erick finally noticed them.

He stopped moving and spontaneously looked toward the doorway, freezing in place with wide eyes.

The woman realized it a moment later.

She seemed annoyed that Erick had suddenly stopped.

When she followed his gaze toward the doorway, she saw them too.

"Ahhhh…" She panicked instantly and screamed—a stark contrast to Erick's reaction.

Very quickly, she grabbed a blanket to cover herself.

But with Erick's "dragon" still inside her love hole, how could she cover everything?

"Erick, Erick, who are they?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Erick's mouth opened and shut repeatedly.

He seemed to have lost his thoughts.

Perhaps he didn't immediately think about Richard's purpose for coming, but how could he remain calm when caught in the middle of having sex?

For a man who usually carried himself elegantly, this was beyond humiliating.

Fortunately, the blonde woman grabbed another blanket to cover Erick.

When his mind finally restarted, Erick jumped off the bed.

"What are you doing here?" he said cautiously.

"Of course we have something to do. But honestly, I don't mind if you finish first," Richard replied, making Erick look like he wanted to cry.

"Richard, stop wasting time. We need to capture him now!" Grace didn't approve of Richard's comment.

Richard had only been joking anyway—there was no way Erick would continue with an audience.

He nodded and immediately sent a Mind Attack at Erick and the blonde woman, just as he and Grace had planned.

The blonde woman lost consciousness instantly under the Mind Attack.

Erick resisted, but staggered and nearly collapsed.

"No, no..." He seemed barely able to maintain his consciousness.

From what Richard could see, Erick's strength was utterly average. Among Magus of the World Realm, he was only considered a genius because of his cultivation speed, not his combat power.

Whoosh!

Suddenly Grace moved before Richard did.

She appeared behind Erick and struck his head with the hilt of her sword.

BANG!

Erick was sent flying, crashing into the wall until it collapsed.

Richard then pulled him into the Dragon Hall.

At the same time, Grace threw the blonde woman toward the Dragon Hall portal.

Fast and efficient. It wasn't very neat because Grace had used too much force, but that didn't matter.

After all, they were going to use Erick to threaten his parents.

They would learn early that their son had been kidnapped before they discovered it themselves.

"Let's go," Grace said.

"Don't you want to stay here instead? We could live here. Look, there are so many rooms," Richard said with a serious face—but only joking.

When he said that, Grace immediately looked annoyed.

"No," she said as she continued walking.
