All Chapters of Defy Me If You Can: Chapter 131 - Chapter 139

The scrambling servants who had managed to survive tended to those who were in a far more critical situation. Some had their hands completely bitten off, while others had gotten away with only a few scratches across their bodies. Blood covered the ground, mixing with the dirt, ash, and broken pieces of furniture that had been carried outside in the chaos. Some servants were sitting against the walls while others were helping their wounded friends stay conscious, tearing pieces from their own clothes to use as makeshift bandages. There were even some who simply remained seated on the ground, staring blankly at the burning manor as though their minds hadn't yet caught up with what had happened inside. Nobody knew how many had died, and nobody dared to count. There were simply too many bodies left behind.The entrance of the manor was now spewing red flames, the fire spreading through the wooden structure and climbing toward the upper floors. Smoke filled the air, making some of the serv

Whatever, was it even her business? Once morning arrives she will go to the train station, she heard that with the newly built train it would quickly bring her to a faraway place, far away enough that it would take weeks, no, even months before anyone could find her. Somewhere nobody knew her name. Somewhere Victor's shadow could never reach.Slowly, Jane looked down at the coins in her pocket.Truthfully ever since she was taken by the kidnappers and sold off, she had always kept some money hidden on her person. It wasn't a lot but it wasn't little either. It was actually enough for her to buy a ticket and a wagon ride to leave. The money had always been her emergency fund, always prepared for this exact kind of situation, always waiting for the day she would finally have the courage to run. Over the years she had become almost obsessive about it. Whenever she earned even the smallest amount, she would secretly add to it. Whenever she spent even a single coin, she would immediately

By the time the fire was extinguished, what was left of the once beautiful manor was a building all charred in black. The walls that once stood proudly were now covered with ashes and burn marks, while several windows had been completely shattered from the heat. Smoke still rose from different parts of the building, slowly disappearing into the gloomy sky.Standing in front of it after getting out of the carriage, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly and then turned to his left where there was already a man sitting inside the red cushion carriage. His face was hidden slightly up to his nose by the equally crimson curtain.The young man remained silent for a moment before speaking.“Lord Andreas, everything is totally burned.”The man, Lord Andreas, played with the ring on his thumb. He rolled his finger over it, feeling the crystal gems over the skull-shaped ornament. His fingers moved slowly, almost absentmindedly, as though the sight of the burned manor held very little interest

Julius felt a chill when Victor turned around and upon feeling that Julius had flinched, Victor pulled a sneer from the corner of his lips.“I so want to kill you all but my priorities lies elsewhere.”Victor walked passed by him and muttered, “Thank heaven that your father and grandmother died today. If it wasn’t for that, you wouldn’t be here.”Julius gulped as he felt the words sent straight fear down his bone marrows but regardless he balled his fist tighter.“You do…”The words came out as nothing more than a mutter under his breath.Victor wasn’t interested.He continued walking, his steps quick and heavy against the ground as if he had already forgotten that Julius was even standing behind him.But Julius couldn’t let him leave.Not like this.He yelled before Victor was far enough.“You can do anything to me… But my sister… she tried to help her out! She did try her best but—”“But left her there?”Victor’s blue eyes shone brightly.The chilling look of wanting to murder someo

A man smiled back at her.With a long glistening dark reddish hair tied loosely to the side of his shoulders with a black ribbon, the man looked almost out of place in the small and humble room. His appearance was neat despite the rain and the muddy roads outside, and there was something calm about his face that made him look like someone who was used to dealing with troublesome situations without ever losing his composure.“I see you have woken up.”The voice he carried was gentle and polite to almost a fault.Jane stared at him.She didn’t know who he was.The moment she saw the unfamiliar man standing there, her body tensed slightly, though the tiredness that remained in her bones made it impossible for her to properly react.Jane tried to speak but the smiling Helena saved the day by starting the talk first.“Sir Salem, it seems that she had hurt her throat. It would be hard for her to talk as of now.”“Oh dear me, is that so?” Salem’s expression immediately turned concerned. “I s
