On the third day, David arrived punctually at the Stone Ridge Royal Capital.

The entire Shiling Kingdom is built among the mountains.

Its royal capital is established within a massive valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

David arrived at this mountain city, not rushing in, but instead activating his Beast's Heart.

This mountainous region is home to countless beasts, including a large number of sewer rats.

These most ordinary rats, however, are the strongest spies. After using the Beast's Heart to take control of them, he sent them all into the city.

...

Stone Ridge Royal Capital.

Inside the manor of the Rock Elephant Clan.

Lune, the younger daughter of the Duke of the Eastern Border, frowned tightly.

Ever since her father and the Eldest Prince passed away, they had been on the run constantly.

Just two months ago, they escaped to Stone Ridge Royal Capital, which drew the attention of the Stone Ridge Royal Family.

After that, they were all captured by the Marquis of Rock Elephant and confined within this manor.

"I wonder how the Princess is doing." Lune was full of worries.

Just three days ago, someone from the Stone Ridge Royal Family took the Princess away, and she hasn't returned yet.

Creak—

As she pondered, the door suddenly opened.

The figure of the Marquis of Rock Elephant stepped in, his gaze falling upon the young girl sitting by the bedside.

"Speak, where are the treasures left by the Duke of the Eastern Border and Eldest Prince Yin Yue?" The Marquis of Rock Elephant said in a stern voice.

Lune looked fearfully at the robust figure of the Marquis in front of her, clenching her teeth and remaining silent.

She knew her only value now was this; if she spoke, she would lose all worth.

"You should know that my patience has limits."

"If you don't speak, I will just have to claim some interest from you."

The Marquis's gaze roamed over the girl's body; he was very interested in this beautiful duke's daughter.

If it weren't for the Prince's orders, he would have already claimed this duke's daughter.

Of course, if he could have both wealth and beauty, that would be even better, for this duke's daughter was already as good as in his grasp.

Lune looked terrified, lightly biting her lip.

She really didn't know what to do.

Should she really reveal where the treasure is buried?

But moments later, she shook her head; if she did, her end would be even worse.

But what on earth should she do?

At that moment, she even entertained thoughts of ending it all.

But now she was the only one left of the Mountain Rock Lion Clan.

If she died, the clan's bloodline would be entirely severed, and she had promised her father to carry on the lineage.

"I'll give you one more day to consider, think about the consequences carefully."

The Marquis withdrew his gaze, knowing the duke's daughter's spirit was nearing its limit.

He turned around to leave.

But as he opened the door, he suddenly sensed an incoming force!

He had no time to react before he felt himself being thrown sideways, crashing heavily into the wall!

Boom!

The Marquis of Rock Elephant slammed into the wall, then rolled to the ground.

Everything happened too suddenly; the Marquis struggled to get up from the ground, still dazed.

His gaze turned to the doorway, where he saw a figure standing there with a calm expression.

"Who are you?!"

The Marquis roared, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Submit, or die."

David looked at the Tier Five Knight with calm detachment.

"You!"

The Marquis's eyes flashed with anger.

He activated his Rock Giant Elephant lineage, channeling all his power into his fist.

In the next moment, he charged forward.

Seeing this, David also launched a punch, Tier Six's terrifying power exploding instantly!

The moment their fists met, the Marquis's expression changed abruptly.

Soon after, he was sent flying backwards at an even greater speed than he advanced, smashing into the wall and breaking through its sturdy barrier!

David then stepped slowly into the room, moving towards the Marquis who had been knocked into another room.

"Tier Six Knight!"

"Who are you, really?!"

The Marquis's voice was filled with fear.

He never imagined a Tier Six Knight would appear here!

Faced with a Tier Six Knight, he had no power to resist and was heavily injured in a single blow!

"Submit, or die."

David repeated his indifferent message.

But now, in the Marquis's ears, it was akin to a death sentence from the Grim Reaper.

He had no doubt that if he did not submit, the other would certainly kill him!

Confronting an opponent he couldn't resist, the Marquis felt fear, trying instinctively to get up and run.

But the figure instantly appeared before him, stepping on his head, the immense strength making it impossible to break free.

Moreover, the pressure underfoot was increasing; he had no doubt that if he did not surrender, his head would be crushed!

Almost without hesitation, the Marquis shouted, "Submit, I submit!"

Hearing these words, David lifted his foot, then threw down a Servant Contract.

This was something he had been working on with Reina, the terms extremely harsh, representing slavery once signed!

The Marquis's eyes fell on the contract, a look of humiliation crossing his face; it was a Servant Contract!
