Severin did not wish to be a busybody at first because he had no obligation to save strangers. However, Sofia's kindness led him to nod at her, "If you put it that way, then I'll help them."
Sofia smiled subtly. "Thank you. These perverts are the most despicable."
However, the following conversation made Severin's heart skip a beat. "Come clean with us. How many people are there in Capra Hall? And where is Capra Hall hiding right now? You'll die a miserable death if you don't tell us anything."
Then, the man said, "But if you tell us what we want to know about Capra Hall, then we'll spare your life and act as if we've never run into you."
"Capra Hall" Severin and Sofia exchanged an elated glance at each other when they were told that those two young girls were from Capra Hall.
Sofia initially wanted to rush out and save the girls, but to her surprise, Severin held her back.
Sofia glanced at Severin in confusion. Severin then said softly, "Let's see if either of them will betray their hall."
Sofia immediately understood what Severin's aim was. There could not have been a better time to test whether Capra Hall's people were united and loyal. After all, the threat of death was certainly a compelling enough reason to betray one's comrades in exchange for being allowed to survive.
One of the girls frowned hesitantly, but after a while, she sneered and said, "You probably won't spare us even if we spill everything to you. Don't try to take us for fools. We know exactly what kind of people you are, and we don't believe your bull at all."
