Chapter 309 Ambushed in His Own Domain
Herbert, a burly man in his fifties, possessed a menacing and rough appearance. But now, intoxicated and limp, he was unaware of the intruders storming into his room.
All he could focus on was Kate, whom he found captivating.
I can’t believe I have encountered such a riveting chick in my dreams!
I wish I never have to wake up!
In his drunken haze, Herbert leered at Kate.
The sight disgusted Kate deeply.
Before she could react, George stepped forward with a furious expression and delivered a forceful blow to Herbert’s stomach.
“Ow!”
Herbert let out a piercing scream of pain.
George showed no mercy; Herbert doubled over, his complexion turning pallid as he began to retch violently.
The stench of alcohol mixed with vomit nearly made Kate gag.
She quickly exited the room, watching coldly as her men subdued Herbert before dragging him
away.
Herbert’s henchmen were bewildered as they witnessed their boss being dragged out like a beaten animal.
They had never imagined anyone would dare to attack them here and now.
Tesidus had grown arrogant and complacent In Bastilla, thinking that no one would dare to cross them; they believed they were untouchable, especially after successfully deceiving Eric’s team.
With Eric missing, they presumed his associates posed no threat.
Hence, Kate, George, and their team seized this opportunity to launch a surprise assault, swiftly seizing control of Zircon City.
Tesidus’s members were thoroughly defeated, and Herbert was taken away to the dungeon–a water prison he had constructed himself.

Chapter 309 Ambushed in His Own Domain
“Cough, cough!*
He thrashed violently, struggling to keep his head above water, but George grabbed him by the hair and forcefully submerged him again.
Just as Herbert neared drowning, George pulled him up.
After several cycles of this torment, Herbert was completely sober.
He looked at his captors with sheer terror as he realised his grim fate.
I’m done for!
Like Ivan, who had been humiliated by him and had his base usurped by the Haldoria, Herbert too had been ambushed in his own domain.
Kate’s gaze turned icy as she said to Herbert with chilling composure, “Did you lure Eric’s team to Zircon City and sabotage them?”
At the mention of Eric, Herbert flinched, and he stammered in disbelief, “Y–you’re Eric’s people?!”
George responded by dunking Herbert’s head underwater again as he demanded harshly, “Answer our Madam’s question!”
Herbert spluttered, water pouring from his nose and mouth. He trembling as he confessed, “Yes, yes, but I was following orders. I didn’t directly harm Eric!”
Kate’s expression hardened even further. “Whose orders were they?”
Shivering in the frigid water, Herbert faltered. Due to the low temperature, the cold water and relentless dunking broke his resolve. He stuttered, “I–I don’t know her identity. She contacts us through the dark web every time. This time, she messaged me there
“I only sent Eric a message, hinting that I knew about that organisation and lured them to Zircon City. That’s all I did. I know nothing about what happened after that.”
Kate seized upon the crucial detail. “That organisation?”
Herbert nodded urgently. “Yes, the one Eric has been pursuing! In Bastilla, we call them the Wolfshade.
