Chapter 35: The Lord (3)_2

Dora was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth.

"It really wasn't me!" Jones, who was hung upside down, screamed desperately.

"Mr. Bruto, I hope you won't hurt my little bat. Because he is a hardworking and ambitious little bat. Perhaps he will even become a great lord someday." One of the Hydra's heads circled to face Bruto.

"Rest assured, lady, I am just going to have a little talk with him," said Bruto, bending over and walking past the Hydra to Jones. He tapped the upside-down Jones on the head with the staff in his hand, "Tell me, were you the one who complained to Gray? If you say it wasn't you, and I find out it was, you're dead."

Jones, helpless, had to change his statement, "Okay, it was me...but that's because I really couldn't meet your demands."

Only then did Bruto undo the magical restraints, causing Jones to fall heavily to the ground.
