Chapter 310 Deterrence
“The Wolfshade…”
Kate repeated the name, her expression turning colder.
Meanwhile, George’s face mirrored her intensity, his eyes filled with simmering rage as he glared
at Herbert.
The Wolfshade?
Hah! How pathetic.
They’re just a group of cowards lurking in the shadows. How dare they think they’re powerful!
George pressed down firmly, pushing Herbert back into the water.
“Ugh! Glug…”
Herbert struggled, surprised by the harsh treatment by the Haldorians despite his cooperation.
Just as he felt on the brink of drowning and was about to meet his maker, George pulled him up. Gasping for air, Herbert panted heavily, resembling a fish out of water.
“I–I’ve told you everything… I’ve told you everything I know…” Herbert muttered, his unfocused.
George remained stoic, while Kate’s face remained cold and disdainful.

She peered down at Herbert, her voice slicing through the tension as she asked, “The person you mentioned is she affiliated with the Wolfshade?”
Herbert nodded vigorously. “Yes, she’s the one who ordered me to lure Eric out. You should be going after her if you want to get revenge! I never directly clashed with Eric!”
Herbert was on the verge of tears.

Even the women from Haldoria were demons!

“The laptop I use to communicate with her is in the safe in my room.”
He was eager to cooperate as he answered every single question warily.
He was desperate to avoid another suffocating ordeal.
“Take him to retrieve it, Kate ordered decisively.
As they escorted Herbert from the dungeon to his room, his legs trembled, making it difficult to

His henchmen, bound and shivering in the hallway, were equally terrified. The gamblers who had tried to flee with their winnings cowered near the gambling tables, their heads bowed in fear.
Seeing Herbert, soaked and trembling, being led out stunned them. They lowered their heads. and shivered, not daring to say a word.
How could our boss be reduced to this? The Haldoria people are truly fearsome!
Herbert, who was escorted back to his room in little time, nervously pointed to the safe, his voice trembling. “The laptop is inside.”
George untied Herbert’s hands before pressing a gun to his head while saying with a frigid tone, “Open it and take out the laptop.”
With a gulp, Herbert felt the cold steel at the back of his head as he slowly opened the safe. After retrieving the laptop, he placed it carefully on a nearby table. He flashed Kate a nervous, ingratiating smile.
To him, this woman from Haldoria clearly led the

group.
After a brief smile at Kate, Herbert quickly lowered his gaze and stood quietly by the side while being flanked by two guards.
