Chapter 4 The Malicious Horace

• At this moment, tears had already moistened his eyes.
• Had the other soldiers from Tartarus Syndicate been beside him at that moment, they would have surely been astounded.
• This was Don Tartarus, the dignified don of Tartarus Syndicate, and yet, he had actually shed tears.
• The revered Don Tartarus had been injured badly and bled profusely in the past. Even more so, he had walked the edge of death countless times.
• However, even a firm and unyielding man like him ended up crying upon learning that his wife and daughter were in mortal danger.
• At the same time, in Jacaster of Clusia.
• Jacaster, a city located in the southern region of Clusia, was merely a small city with a population of less than a million.
• At that moment, in the outskirts of the city, a few rascally-dressed youths accompanied Horace Watson in a yard that was reeking of musty odors.
• They were gathered around a dog crate, watching with amusement, as they observed the little girl who was trapped inside.
• This little girl was so very small.
• Being merely four years old, she was extremely timid. At that moment, she was curled up, confined within a dog crate.
• This little girl was captured by this group of people yesterday afternoon after she was let out from kindergarten.
• Those menacing individuals had even confined her within a dog crate.
• Up until now, the little girl had been confined for almost twenty-four hours.
• The little girl's face was grimy, streaked with tear tracks.
• Feeling utterly helpless, she wore an expression of terror.
• However, she had stopped crying because she was too sensible.
• She knew that the people who had brought her here were filming her.
• They intended to use the video of her crying profusely to intimidate her mother, and the little girl didn't want her mother to worry.
• Therefore, even though the little girl was filled with fear, she clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to let herself cry.
• With a resounding clang, Horace fiercely kicked the dog crate.
• He almost knocked the dog crate over.
• The little girl, confined within the dog crate, swayed along with the cage's movement.
• Her small head collided with the iron cage, causing intense pain. However, the little girl gritted her teeth and refrained from crying out.
• Upon seeing that she wasn't crying, Horace quickly thought on his feet and picked up a bag of dog food from the side.
• With a swoosh, he scattered the dog food into the cage.
• “Finish the dog food, brat! If you don't eat it, I'll beat you to death!”
• Horace glared menacingly at the little girl who was locked in the dog crate.
• The little girl, frightened, had shrunk into a corner of the dog crate.
• With a look of unparalleled terror in her eyes, she stared at the people before her, her small face extremely pale.
• However, the little girl didn't obey his orders. She didn't eat the dog food inside the dog crate because she knew dog food was meant for dogs, not humans.
• “F*ck! You're not eating it, are you? Fine! If you refuse to eat, then I'll bring your mother here too. I'll lock her up in the dog crate with you, and she can share your dog food!”
• “No! Don't!”
• “Please don't kidnap my mother! I'll be a good girl! I'll eat the dog food! Please don't take my mother away!” she pleaded, her voice filled with unparalleled terror.
• In order to protect her mother, the little girl quickly grabbed a handful of dog food and stuffed it into her mouth.
• However, the dog food had a taste that was hard to swallow. The little girl quickly spat out the dog food she had stuffed into her mouth.
• Even so, the little girl was terrified of these people getting angry, fearing that they would also capture her mother.
• She then quickly grabbed another handful of dog food and stuffed it into her mouth.
• With her teeth that had not yet fully grown in, she struggled to chew.
• “Do you see that, Sheila? Do you see that?”
• When Horace saw the little girl obediently eating her dog food, he made a video call to Sheila.
• “Take a good look at your daughter, Sheila! She is eating dog food! Hahaha! Don't say I didn't give you a chance! As long as you agree to be my woman, I will let your daughter go!”
