Chapter 122 You are just my pawns.
***
Hearing Malina scream, Anela was so angry that her face turned red, and she shouted, "Kill that bitch! Kill her!"
The male servant who was beating Malina immediately grabbed her neck and pressed it on the ground.
Malina, who was already very weak, was now being strangled; her face immediately turned purple, and her body trembled.
"Master! Master!" Claire tried to crawl towards Malina, but she couldn't. The male servant attacking her stomped on her back so hard that the sound of her bones breaking could be heard.
"Ak… ak!" Malina couldn't breathe, however, her words still rang out in her heart: 'My mother is not a prostitute!'
It seemed that Malina was picturing her mother in her final moments as tears gathered in her eyes.
"Mom…"
"Enough!" A voice rang out, breaking this painful atmosphere.
Mardian walked in, and seeing this, the two male servants trembled when they saw him, and they quickly knelt on the ground.
Claire, who was no longer restrained, immediately crawled towards Malina, she was bleeding profusely, and it left a long trail on the ground.
"Master… master… sorry… I couldn't protect you." Claire cried as she spoke, tears and blood smeared on her face.
Anela frowned and said: "What's wrong? Are you planning on stopping me?"
"Mardian, why are you protecting a prostitute's daughter, who had your son's arm cut off?"
Mardian stared at Anela, his eyes filled with coldness and murderous intent.
Anela was a little scared; after all, Mardian was now a level 80 magician, and she was just a woman. Although she was also a magician, she was much weaker than Mardian.
In front of Mardian, Anela was like a rabbit facing a terrible monster.
Mavis was also extremely worried. She thought she could avenge Madiam, but Mardian appeared.
After a while, Mardian finally broke the silence: "Bring them back."
Just then, a group of servants entered the room and brought Claire and Malina out.
"Master!" Suddenly, Claire spoke: "Malina is seriously injured, her face... master... Please give her some?medicine."
"I beg you… master…"
Claire knelt on the ground and cried as she spoke.
Mardian sighed. He was about to say something when Anela shouted, "Medicine?" Hahahaha… bitch! Are you kidding me?"
"Enough!" Mardian angrily interrupted Anela's words.
Anela was angry; she pointed her shaking finger at Maridan and shouted: "You yelled at me?"
"Mardian, you dare yell at me?"
"Do you know to whom you owe what you have today? Do you know that you became a level 80 magician thanks to me?"
"I've said… enough…" Mardian emphasized, his voice was filled with so much anger that Anela and Mavis retreated.
He looked towards Claire and Malina, then waved his hand so that the servants would take them away.
"No! Master…" Claire's voice echoed from behind him: "Master… please… save Malina."
"She is your daughter… please save her…"
"Please… master…"
Even when Mardian no longer heard Malina's voice, he did not look back or show any signs of wanting to treat Malina.
After that, Mardian also turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" Anela shouted: "Mardian, today, if you don't give me a convincing answer, I will…"
"What will you do?" Mardian turned his head, his eyes were bloodthirsty as he looked at Anela.
"You…"
"Anela… I advise you to know when to stop, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious." Mardian said coldly.
"You… are you threatening me?" Anela spoke while trembling.
"I am not threatening you." Mardian said calmly: "You should remember… this place is not your family, this is my family, the Montague family, this place… I am the owner."
Having finished speaking, Mardian turned and left without caring about Anela's feelings.
Anela shouted loudly: "Stop! Bastard! Are you treating me like these because of a prostitute?
"Mardian!!! You are a bastard!"
No matter how loudly Anela shouted, Mardian never turned back.
Anela sat down on the ground, panting, her face pale. Mavis saw this and hurried to her side.
"Mom… mom… Are you okay?"
"Mom, don't worry. I will seek revenge on that bitch and her knight."
Anela shook her head, her face filled with despair: "Mavis, don't do that."
"Why?" Mavis asked confusedly.
"You should remember that… in your father's eyes, there are only benefits. Whether you are his child or I am his wife and I gave him two children, you and Madiam… when faced with a greater benefit… he…"
"He is ready to abandon us."
"What?!" Mavis was startled and immediately said: "Mom, it's impossible! Mom, what the hell are you talking about? Don't worry. Dad is just a little angry, does he not love you?"
Anela bowed her head, not knowing how to explain to Mavis.
…
Mardian returned to his private office, and immediately afterward, a middle-aged, somewhat skinny looking male butler entered.
"Master…"
Mardian saw the housekeeper and immediately spoke: "Marey, how is Malina's situation?"
"It's quite serious." Marey bowed his head and said softly: "I'm afraid those wounds will last forever if not treated promptly."
"Of course, normal pharmaceutical treatments won't have too much effect."
"But high-class medical drugs… if we want to use them, we need the approval of the Elders."
Hearing that, Mardian sneered: "There's no need to worry about those Elders, we also don't need to provide medicine to treat Malina."
Marey seemed to feel confused, he raised his head and said: "Master, if they can't be cured, I'm afraid their lives will be threatened."
"Malina and her maid lost a lot of blood, several of their bones were broken and the broken bones penetrated their internal organs."
Mardian tapped his index finger on the table, he put his other hand on his chin, thought for a long time and then said: "Give Malina a normal healing pill, let her hold on until tomorrow."
Marey was really confused at this time. He said: "Master... what do you mean..."
"Marey… How long have you been working for me?" Mardian interrupted Marey's words and asked.
Marey bowed her head and said: "Master, before you became a Marquis."
Mardian heard that and nodded, he continued asking: "Do you know how I became a marquis?"
Marey nodded and replied: "Thanks to your talent and..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Mardian continued to interrupt Marey: "get to the important point."
Marey looked towards Mardian, then took a deep breath and said: "Thanks to Anela's family."
"That's right." Mardian was not angry, on the contrary, he smiled and said: "Before becoming a Marquis, I was just an ordinary young man."
"Even though I had natural talent I didn't have the resources to cultivate it. Without the resources I wouldn't be where I amtoday."
"That's why… I married Anela. Thanks to the resources from her family,… I became a Marquis, and the powerful magician I am today."
"However… Even though Anela's father is just an Earl, because she is my wife, most of the Elders in our family work for Anle."
"So… it's like I'm supporting Anela's family. Even most of the resources I receive are transferred by those Elders to Anela's family."
"Marey… I want to use this opportunity to destroy Anela's entire family."
Marey was startled when he heard this. He bowed his head and said: "Master, please think again."
"Even though Anela's family is only an Earl rank, their family has existed for more than 500 years, their strength is also very great, so you cannot act thoughtlessly."
"Hahahaha…" Mardian heard that and laughed loudly: "What the hell are you talking about, Marey? You've been following me for a long time, and you also know that my personality is to never do things where I'm not sure of winning, right?"
Marey nodded: "Yes, master."
Mardian continued: "We will rely on other people to do this. No one could be more suitable than… Alec, the student of an Elder of the Enchanter Tower."
Hearing that, Marey seemed to understand what Mardian intended to do. He rubbed his chin and said: "That's a great plan, master. Even though he is just a student of an Elder, his influence is still great."
"That's right." Mardian smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry either. This needs to happen slowly, so that the traitors won't notice."
"That's why, you don't need to worry about Malina. I want to let Alec see her current state, so… his anger will become terrifying."
"What if…" Marey suddenly spoke: "I'm just worried that Malina won't be able to hold on and she will… die."
"Hahahaha…" Mardian laughed loudly: "That's even better. Alec really likes Malina, we can see that. If Malina dies… I guarantee you that Alec will destroy Anela's entire family."
"Even Anela… and her two children, hahahaha…"
"But…" Marey added: "Master, you have trained Madiam and Mavis to be capable enough to take on the position of head of the Montague family."
"If they die, it will be a big disadvantage for us. Besides… Those are your wife and children, master. I hope you can think again."
"Huh!" Mardian snorted in contempt: "You think that after Alec started attacking Anela's family, she would leave me alone?"
"To eliminate all possible scenarios, including the possibility that Madiam, Mavis or worse, Anela could take revenge on me, I must let them die."
"Only the dead… can make me feel more secure, do you understand?"
Marey took a deep breath, he felt a chill go down his spine when he saw Mardian's bloodthirsty eyes.
However, he was just a butler and he didn't care that much. He bowed his head and said: "I understand, master."
"Good!" Mardian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Do as I say, just let Malina hold on until tomorrow is enough."
"Ah! Let the servants inform Alec, make sure they say that my wife Anela wants to kill Malina. To clarify… My wife's family is… Andamio, understand?"
"I understand, master." Marey bowed his head and spoke respectfully, but at this moment, the back of his shirt was already drenched with sweat, and his body was also trembling slightly.
Mardian didn't answer; he just waved his hand. Seeing that, Marey immediately left the room.
The room returned to silence again. Mardian sat in his chair, smiling confidently and sinisterly…
"Alec, Malina, Anela… you are just my pawns…"
