Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent-Chapter 264: Captured and Forced to Eat Shit

Liam didn't bother to change into a new set of clothes. He hastily stepped out of the room and headed to the basement where a secret passage was hidden.

While trying to escape, he happened to encounter the lord of House Tyler.

"What's going on?! Why are the warriors of House Silversword attacking us?!"

Liam was already in a bad mood and seeing this man wasting his time, his mood worsened.

"Shut your mouth!" He shouted and slapped the man in his moment of rage.

The lord of House Tyler lost his footing after being slapped by Liam. With a single misstep, he fell down the stairs headfirst and accidentally cracked his skull.

Looking at the dying man, Liam's eyes were cold.

"You shouldn't have blocked me, old man." He muttered before he headed straight to the basement.

It should be somewhere around here.

Liam traced his hands on the wall, searching for that mechanism to trigger the hidden passage.

He could already hear the sounds of battle getting closer, making him feel more anxious.

Dammit! Where is it?!

Just when he was about to go crazy, his hand suddenly pressed something unusual.

Found it!

The bookshelf behind him parted, revealing a hidden door.

Without hesitation, Liam pushed the door open and entered the hidden passage.

This passage will lead me outside the estate. Other than that old man from House Tyler, no one else knows this secret route.

Liam navigated the dark passageway dimly illuminated by torches. To prevent anyone from discovering him, he even masked his footsteps and controlled his breathing.

It was a long run that took him more than thirty minutes.

I am almost there!

He could already see the door at the end of the passageway.

With one quick sprint, he rushed to the door and pushed it open.

The first thing he saw was a forest filled with trees.

I am out!

He was excited.

"I knew you would escape through this door." An indifferent voice drifted into his ears, scaring him out of his wits.

"Who's there?!" Liam turned around and saw a giant warrior wearing a demonic mask.

When their eyes met, Liam felt an oppressive aura that forced him to kneel!

It was a pressure so overwhelming that it almost made him piss his pants.

Step. Step. Step.

"Sir Galanar told me to wait here for you." The masked giant muttered.

Even Galanar is here?!

Liam knew who Galanar was.

As the leader of the biggest underground faction in Riverwake, he was privy to the major events that occurred in the past few months.

Galanar was someone he had always feared.

"Wait, did Alaric send you to capture me? I can pay you double what he paid you!" Liam lifted his head as he tried to negotiate with the other party.

The masked warrior stopped in front of Liam and stared at him in amusement.

"So this is how pathetic you look when you beg for your life. Liam, you son of a bitch! Because of you, I was forced to separate from my family!"

Liam's face fell when he heard this.

Shit! Who is this guy?!

"W-Who are you?" He asked hesitantly.

The masked warrior's eyes were bloodshot and it looked like he would kill Liam on the spot, but quickly he took a deep breath to calm his agitation.

After gathering his senses, he grabbed Liam like he was lifting a little toy as he muttered. "You provoked the wrong person, Liam. And now, you will have to pay for the crimes you have committed!"

Those were the last words that Liam heard before he lost consciousness.

***

A few days later, Liam found himself locked up inside a prison cell.

With the dim light from the torches outside, he realized that he wasn't alone. Inside the cell were seven people and two of them looked incredibly familiar to him.

Hold on… That old man, isn't he the family head of House Harrison?! And that middle-aged man beside him should be his son, Richard…

He also noticed that the rest of the prisoners wore clothes that bore the insignia of House Harrison.

"Young man, you are finally awake. Just give up. You won't be able to escape this place." Darvin Harrison muttered when he saw Liam forcefully yanking the chains that bound him.

"Where is this place?" With a gloomy look, Liam asked the old viscount.

Darvin sighed as he replied. "This is the underground prison of House Silversword."

Liam's heart dropped. He already knew this, but he still couldn't accept the fact that he had been captured.

I should have followed Lord Dalton to Veronica!

Liam felt a wave of regret. The old man had repeatedly warned him not to dwell on revenge, but he ignored his warnings.

"You look familiar. What is your name?" Asked Richard whose body was covered in bandages.

Liam didn't like his arrogant tone so he pretended not to hear him.

"Hey! Are you fucking deaf?!" Richard was furious after being ignored. He was about to stand up when he felt a sharp pain in his chest that made him grimace.

"Lord Richard, are you alright?"

"It's just my injuries acting up." Richard waved his hand and shook his head, with a face full of sweat.

Looking at his terrible condition, Liam snorted in contempt.

Suddenly, they heard a series of footsteps outside their cell.

"They are here!" Darvin exclaimed in terror.

Liam also felt uneasy when he noticed how scared everyone was.

A warrior appeared outside their cell looking at them with an insidious smile. "Time for breakfast!"

"No! I don't want to eat! I don't want to eat!"

"Please don't let us eat that thing again!"

"Sir, please have mercy!"

Liam stared at the pleading prisoners with a look of confusion and anxiety. Even Darvin and Richard were no different. They kneeled before the warrior without care for their image.

What is going on here?

The warrior chuckled and opened their cell. He then approached them and said. "Let's be obedient this time, okay? You should know what will happen if you do something funny again."

Darvin and the prisoners trembled as the warrior got closer to them.

Some of them puked out something that emitted a disgusting smell. It was a chain reaction after that. All of them, including the Viscount vomited the same nauseating liquid.

Liam grimaced when the terrible smell assaulted his nose.

What the fuck is this?!

The warrior raised an eyebrow and muttered with a disgusted look. "We haven't even started yet. Stop overreacting."

He then called his comrades to help him escort the prisoners. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Liam inwardly prepared himself for what was to come. He obediently followed the warriors while looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Stop the futile attempt to escape. Those who tried had already been killed by these people." Richard whispered to his ears.

Liam wretched in disgust when he smelled his breath. "Close your mouth! It fucking stinks like shit!"

Richard wasn't furious by his words. He just stared at him with a weird smile.

Soon, the warriors brought them to a room with a long table at the center.

The moment they entered the room, Liam could already smell the terrible stench inside.

He lifted his head and saw a few people on the second floor watching them with cold faces.

Alaric!

He quickly spotted Alaric from the group. His eyes flashed with hatred and fury.

"Alaric! Do you know what you are doing?! How dare you illegally confine members of the nobility?!" Liam shouted.

The place suddenly turned silent and everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a lunatic.

Alaric didn't say anything. He just sent a signal to the warriors with a snap of his fingers.

"Bring our guests, food!" One of the warriors shouted while clapping his hands.

In the next moment, the servants came in pushing tray carts with large bowls of dark brown liquid that emitted a strong scent of feces.

Darvin and the prisoners vomited once more.

Liam finally realized why they had reacted like that when food was mentioned.

There's no way they will let us eat shit, right?

He covered his mouth and nose in disgust when he thought of this.

"Sit down while the servants serve your food!" The warriors forced them to take their seats. Some of them tried to resist, but they were beaten up by the warriors.

With their mana sealed, they could only suffer a severe beating.

Liam looked around the table and noticed that his bowl was larger than the rest of the prisoners.

"Why is my bowl larger?"

One of the warriors responded to him with a faint smile. "Oh, that's because you didn't eat for a few days so we thought that you needed to eat more."

The other warriors laughed at his words.

"You want me to eat this?! Are you fucking insane?!"

Liam snapped from the humiliation. He slammed his hand on the table, causing some of the smelly liquid to splash all over his clothes.

Fuck!

"Eat!" Alaric's cold voice suddenly drifted into their ears.
