7. Scene of Bloody Slaughter~
"Yes, if your Highness doesn't think that's enough, then I'm willing to give two." Sawyer wrapped an arm around Xie He's waist and pulled him into his arms. He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I think that he's worth it."
Xie He had been shocked in the beginning. But when he saw Lance, he understood what was happening! If they didn't have a good reason for being alone together, they would certainly arouse Lance's suspicion. Therefore, Xie He continued showing his angry appearance and struggles.
Lance looked at him coldly, "Do you think I really need those two colony planets?"
Sawyer smiled."Of course not. However, he's just a slave, ah. Two colony planets is already a really high price for him."
Lance's tone was chilly, "Let go."
Sawyer stared at Lance for a while, gaze fixed. He realized that he had underestimated the importance Lance had attached to Xie He. It seems that this wouldn't work... if he continued to insist, that would only make Lance suspicious. After all, with his identity, there was no way he would fall in love with a captive at first glance. Therefore, Sawyer let go and said with a smile, "Since Your Highness is not willing to part with him, then forget it."
Xie He broke free of Sawyer's hold, but he didn't go to Lance's side. He pursed his lips and stood between the two people.
Lance took in Xie He's hesitant appearance and felt rage billowing in his chest! In just a short amount of time, he had seduced another man and he even dared to not come back right! There was an ice-cold glint in his golden eyes."Come here."
Xie He didn't move. Instead, he actually took a step back.
When Sawyer saw this, he let out a low chuckle, "It seems that he's not quite willing to go back to you, ne."
Lance's expression grew dark. He did not give Sawyer another glance. He strode over to Xie He. The chilly aura emanating from him seemed like it would cause the space around him to freeze and crack!
Xie He turned around, wanting to escape. However, Lance grabbed hold of his wrist. Xie He thought that his wrist would be shattered by the other's grip. A pained expression appeared on his face but he grit his teeth, forcing himself to suppress all sounds.
Sawyer looked at Xie He, stared at his unyielding appearance. He also recalled the soft feel of the other man's lips against his during their kiss just now... suddenly, a strange emotion emerged in his heart.
It was truly a pity... although he was reluctant, he really didn't have a way to take him away right now.
【Ding, Sawyer's Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 60. 】
"Your Highness Lance, since you like him, and I don't have a hobby of stealing from others, I won't insist. However, if you ever get tired of him, let me play with him, hm?" Sawyer still seemed a bit unwilling to give up on Xie He.
"You won't see such a day." Lance gave him a cold glance.
Sawyer shrugged and laughed."Who knows what the future holds?"
After saying that, he left.
Lance directly tugged Xie He by the wrist, heading back into the hovercar. He turned on auto-pilot and didn't even care about Joanna, who was still in the banquet hall.
He directly pressed Xie He down onto the seat within the hovercar, thumb pressed against the other's lips. His voice was so cold it sounded like ice was forming within."You let him kiss you."
"Let go of me!" Xie He widened his eyes in rage, struggling with all his might.
Lance's gaze was fixed on Xie He's lips. Just now, Sawyer had kissed with a lot of force. Those beautiful, pink lips had been kissed until they were glossy and bright. The corner of his lips had even been bitten, skin breaking. He looked pitiful but also aroused Lance's sadistic side. He wanted to ruthlessly torment him, possess him!
Xie He was his! How could he be touched by another man?
Joanna's little feelings for Xie He were already enough to make him really angry. Now, Sawyer's actions had tread even more harshly on his bottom line. For the first time, he found out just how angry he could get because of this person!
When he thought that this person would be possessed by another man, he became mad with anger!
He would absolutely not allow it!
"You are my slave, but you let another man touch you. Say, how should I punish you?" Lance's tone was suddenly gentle. His dark eyes stared deeply into Xie He's.
However, Xie He knew just what kind of terrifying demon this seemingly perfect man was inside. He would use a gentle tone while doing ruthless things!
To be touched by another man, treated like a slave, toyed with mercilessly like he was an object....
Was this his choice?
No! It was not!
It was Lance who made him like this!
Xie He looked up with ridicule in his eyes. In a frigid voice, he said, "Oh, why do you have to punish me? I'm a slave, ah. I don't have the right to choose. Anyone can lay their hands on me. Anyone can humiliate me. Isn't this what you wished for?"
Lance's expression froze. A long time later, he slowly said, "Because I am your master. I can treat you however I want. Whatever I say goes."
Xie He raised a brow and smiled sarcastically, "Then what do you want me to do?"
A cold glint flashed through Lance's eyes. His palm slowly shifted, landing on Xie He's neck. The man's neck was in his hands. With just a bit of pressure, he could choke to death this slave that was making him so angry... it would only require a tiny bit of strength.
But why didn't he want to do it?
Clearly, this person was worthless to him now. Why didn't he want to do it... ?
A long time later... Lance finally moved his hand away from Xie He's throat. He gave him a profound smile."You're right. I don't have to ask for your opinion. In any case, you can only be mine."
He pressed Xie He down onto the seat and forcefully entered him. He dropped his head and laughed mockingly in the other's ear, "Your body is getting more and more used to me. It likes me more and more... it's more honest than your mouth."
A series of moans overflowed from Xie He's lips. He sneered, "Oh, aside from injuring me, what else can you do? Aside from using force to make others submit, what can you do? Is this the only trick you have? I really pity you for your lack of imagination... hah...."
Lance's eyes suddenly grew cold.
Before meeting Xie He, Lance had never thought that there was anything wrong with making others submit with force. There was nothing force could not prevail over! The Empire's military force succeeded in all it endeavoured to do! But this person's determination... swayed his beliefs.
The person beneath him... military force could only kill him or make him suffer, but it would never be able to make him submit.
It could never.
At this moment, Lance understood that no matter how he tormented this person, it would be meaningless.
He could have him, but he could never make him lower his head.
But what he didn't understand was why, although there were so many people willing to lower their heads to him, willing to crawl at his feet, the only one that he wanted was the one that refused to serve him.
Lance suddenly pinched Xie He's chin and kissed him, as if he wanted to completely erase the taste the other man left in Xie He's mouth. He wanted to mark every inch of his prey's body with his own mark.
His lips slowly made their way to Xie He's ears. He whispered, "Don't ever forget... you are mine."

..........................................
Probably because he realized that there was no use is tormenting Xie He, Lance ceased to do so. Only, from that day on, he was even more engrossed in having him physically. It had been several days since Xie He had been able to get out of bed.
Lance did not mention going out together again. He shut Xie He in his room and had delicacies sent there.
【Xie He：Life is beautiful. 】
【444：...... 】
【Xie He：I like that little vixen, Lance. He's my considerate little cutie. Smile. JPG】
【444：...... 】
【444：Because he prepares all sorts of delicious food from different planets, with all three meals a day different from each other, and forces you to eat? Also, because he does you really hard at night, letting you feel real good? O(∩_∩)O~】
【Xie He：Baby, you get me more and more. 】
【444：...... 】
【Xie He：Of course, what I'm most happy about are the rewards for this world. 78, 000 experience points makes me happy. 🙂 】
【444：You really always have a card up your sleeve. O(∩_∩)O~】
【Xie He：Thanks for the compliment. 🙂 】
【444：...... 】
Xie He enjoyed his beautiful life with satisfaction while waiting for Sawyer to come save him.
Sometimes, love was like an auction. The price would only rise if there were people raising their paddles incessantly. He didn't mind being fought over, because it was in this way that he could most quickly make Lance realize that he cared about him. A sense of danger would help in brewing love.
No matter what kind of world it was, all humans had a commonality: what others fought for was something good. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝓃o𝙫𝒆𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
Even if Sawyer hadn't chosen to appear at that time, Xie He would have found a way to dig out the spy anyway. This was because, as a slave with no way to resist, it was really difficult to increase Lance's Favourability Value past 60. However, he didn't expect that before he had done anything, Sawyer had come to him. He was very satisfied with this helper gong's identity and appearance. He'd give him 90 points.
However, if they only looked at appearances, Lance's appearance was more to his taste.
This morning, Lance held Xie He in his arms. He planted a kiss on his neck and smiled mockingly."Did you feel good yesterday?"
Xie He had no energy to move. There was a deep exhaustion in his eyes. However, there was still a satirizing smirk on his lips, "Not good at all. Because... you suck in bed. Haha!"
"Provoking me like this isn't a good idea, " Lance laughed, lips close to Xie He's ear, "But seeing that you still have the energy to speak, I think I really didn't try hard enough last night. Let's see whether I suck in bed or not now, hm?"
"Oh..." Xie He began to struggle when he felt Lance move. However, he was firmly pressed in place by him.
Xie He grit his teeth and shut his eyes. At this moment, Lance's communications device suddenly rang.
Lance grabbed his communication device and took a look, expression changing slightly. He stood up, dressing himself while speaking with a smile."Don't be in such a hurry. I'll properly satisfy you tonight."
After saying that, he left.
As soon as he walked through the door, Lance's expression sank.
....................................
All the council members were already sitting around the table in the military division's conference room. Sawyer sat on the left side, near the door. He nodded and smiled at Lance."Your Highness has come."
Before coming, Lance had already been notified about the topic of today's meeting. He gave Sawyer a look, expression unkind.
Sawyer ignored it. He knocked on the desk and said in a clear voice, "Since His Highness is here, we shall commence. I was the one who called this meeting. Everyone knows that I have just come back from the Beilin Planetary System. There, I faced the Federation's ambush. Although I was able to kill them off very easily, it is an extremely serious matter that cannot be ignored! This signifies that the Federation's influence has already permeated into the Empire's northern region! This has never happened before. We have no idea how many of our planetary systems they've infiltrated, or how many spies they've planted amongst us. The intelligence department clearly seems to have neglected their job quite a bit."
"Although the majority of the Empire's nobles look down on the Federation, I believe that no one sitting here holds the same naive thoughts. They have been able to persist under the Empire's cut-throat attacks for several hundred years. They have also been continuously growing stronger. They are a terrifying power that absolutely cannot be overlooked! As military men of the Empire, we cannot trust in luck when facing off against the enemy. We cannot look down on any enemy. Now, I want to first express my admiration for His Highness Lance. Not only did he inflict serious damages on the Federation's troops in the Nara Planetary System, but he was also able to capture one of the ten most important figures in the Federation, Loren! Loren has always been a part of the upper ranks of the Federation. He knows many of the Federation's secrets. So long as we can make him speak, it would not be impossible to obliterate the Federation. Don't you think so, Your Highness Lance?"
Lance leaned back against his chair, fingers interlocked by his abdomen. He gave Sawyer a deep look."I've already tried. He would not speak."
Sawyer raised his brow in a smile."How could that be? No one has been able to withstand the Empire's torture."
A cold glint flashed through Lance's golden eyes."What are you trying to say?"
"What I'm trying to say is that I hope that Your Highness Lance will hand him over to the military division." Sawyer had already prepared his arguments."A serious felon from the Federation should be jointly monitored by the entirety of the military. After all, the extermination of the Federation is everyone's responsibility. It is not His Highness' personal affair. Moreover, only the military division can make him speak."
The other council members became restless once they heard this. Everyone knew how important Loren was. Only, His Highness Lance had been guarding him really tightly. They did not dare to interfere. However, since Sawyer mentioned this, it should be fine if they went along with it?
Make Loren speak! Exterminate the Federation! This achievement would be everyone's!
Lance's eyes grew increasingly colder. If it was before that day, he would believe that Sawyer was thinking about the big picture but now... he felt that this was nothing but an excuse to drag Loren out of his hands.
He actually hadn't given up. He dared covet his things!
"Are you saying that I'm protecting Loren? That I didn't torture him?"
When the council members, whose hearts had just been swayed, looked at Lance's expression, they immediately cowered backwards. Although they really wanted a part of the credit, they could not bear to provoke Lance... they instantly began to hesitate.
Sawyer shrugged, looking innocent."I didn't say that. I only mention this because I am thinking about the big picture."
Lance chuckled in a low voice."Although I don't think I need to explain myself, since you mentioned it today, I will first ask that you all watch this video."
He inserted a card into the desk and a video popped up above it.
"This is the confidential footage of the interrogation from when I first captured Loren. All of this occurred while he had his sense of pain increased tenfold. It lasted seventeen days and eight hours. Please watch, " Lance said.
Although several days had passed in reality, the video was only a bit over an hour long. A lot had been fast forwarded. But the basic course of events was all there.
In the beginning, everyone watched on indifferently. But as time passed, there was shock on everyone's faces. They all knew that Lance must have inflicted severe torture on Loren, but what they didn't expect was just how stunningly cruel it had been!
Sawyer watched, gaze unmoving. The hand on the desk slowly clenched tightly.
The man in the recording was covered in blood all over. Time and time again, he was tortured to the brink of death. Time and time again, he was thrown into the Regeneration Capsule. Things continued on like this.... Except for when he would crinkle his brow when he was most in pain, he practically did not make any sounds. That pair of bright and deep dark blue eyes... held an unyielding light from start to end.
He was like the most dazzling star, attracting everyone's gazes.
Sawyer did not expect that this person could be this tenacious. He was stubborn to the point of making Sawyer distressed. He was so beautiful he made his heart race.
【Ding, Sawyer's Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 70. 】
The video suddenly cut, but the room remained in silence, as if everyone was still immersed in that person's courage. No one could speak.
In the end, it was Lance who broke the silence. He spoke slowly, "So, there's no point in that suggestion raised just now, because no torture will pry open his mouth. There is no value in handing him over to the military division. Originally, I was going to kill him. Only, according to the sixty-fifth regulation of the military's third clause, enemies captured alive can be kept as prizes of war by the Empire's military personnel as slaves. So, he's currently my slave. I have the right to own him."
"As for this conference, I believe that there's no need for it to continue." Lance didn't care about the other people's expressions. He pushed his chair back and stood up.
The council members exchanged glances. They were helpless and did not dare to stop him. They all said, one after another, "Take care, Your Highness."
Sawyer's expression flickered and he got up, leaving with big strides.
He increased his pace, chasing Lance down by the gate of the military division. He raised a brow and smiled."Your Highness Lance!"
Lance's steps halted. He turned back and gave him an icy glance.
sere: Xie He really likes this gong huh.
