Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1749

As soon as Elsa expressed her concerns, she covered her mouth after realizing that her words might upset Severin. She then tried to reassure herself by saying, "Sorry. I hope I haven't jinxed anything. I'm sure they will be safe."

Severin replied with a wry smile, "They will be as long as they stay alert. They're able to discern the attainment of any opponent, so that'll go a long way in helping them exercise caution."

As he was speaking, he spotted a group of four or five Horizon Sect disciples ahead. He flew over and unleashed a powerful attack of sword energy, taking them out before they could even react.

Elsa was taken aback by what he did and questioned him, "Why did you kill them? Aren't they supposed to be our allies?"

Severin shot her a stern glance and retorted, "Hurry up and collect their belongings. We should hurry up and move on."

Elsa hastened to remove the spatial rings from the fallen disciples. Once she had gathered everything, she got back onto the flying sword and declared, "All done. They don't have much stuff inside their rings, so I'll only start organizing everything once we get spatial rings with more stuff in them."

Elsa then looked curiously at Severin as if to seek an answer to her previous question.

Severin explained, "The answer to your question is no. I encountered three of their saint-level disciples earlier, one of them was a level nine saint. They thought they were going to kill me easily, so they revealed the entire truth to me by telling me that they had been ordered not to hold back against our disciples. They were instructed to kill us and take what we have."

Elsa was furious upon hearing that and exclaimed, "That's insane! Is the Horizon Sect's scion that ruthless? Are they acting out so shamelessly because they still hold that grudge over what happened to Miss Gilda? He's such a jerk."

Severin let out a chuckle when he saw Elsa's anger. He asked her, "Well, do you still think I shouldn't have eliminated those Horizon Sect disciples? They were only pretending to be friendly to us before entering the Paradise Secret Realm. It was all a ruse to let our guard down so they could launch ruthless sneak attacks against our disciples."
