Rex told Deathholder to handle the last family. He did not want to dirty his hands anymore with bad blood. Deathholder was relieved but shocked at the same time.
The relieved part was so that Rex did not want to just randomly kill any person. He was shocked because if the person needed to die. Rex wanted him to be the one to do it. He just hoped that he could do it.
Deathholder took two jailers along with the messenger to the last family. Three jailers had to figure out how to move the body without many people realizing it.
In the end, the jailers decided to use the excuse of a prisoner escaped and got killed by a random beast that appeared in the Fifth Heavenly Realm. That way the dogs could enjoy a good meal like this and people would not question them constantly about the wagon.
Rex had the women follow him to his room. When he sat down with his women the others were told to strip their clothes off for the wives.
They reluctantly did so. Since Rex had told them to. They had no choice in the matter. Then Rex told them to keep their arms raised. In which the women did but knew that something was up.
Rex began to speak about each woman in various places. They were shocked to know that he could tell by just glancing.
The wives were now almost in tears to hear about each woman in great detail. Even so, they did not want them to be around other men for now. They were willing to sacrifice part of their life for them.
When the women were finally done being told about by Rex. They wanted to cover up and cry themselves to sleep. The women did not want them to feel ashamed about their past but to use it as they could advance in the future.
"A bad past can be something turned into good by those who help you. A bad past will turn into a bad future if you do not ask for any help." Lilith spoke.
The women decided to cry and be held by Rex's wives. It was a sad moment but a moment that those women needed.
Rex stepped outside the room without anyone even noticing. He went to ensure that Deathholder had fulfilled his part of the final family.
Once Rex left with the women
"Where are we going now?" Deathholder asked.
"The last family will return tonight. How are we going to explain that to Rex?" The messenger spoke.
He had hoped that everything else would have taken longer. Only three hours had passed and it was still mid afternoon.
Deathholder had the jailers carry him up. They awaited Rex at the staircase for him to appear when he was done with his explanations.
When he walked into the staircase, Rex was surprised that the final family would return tonight. Rex just asked the messenger to guide them to the room.
The jailers took him to the holding cells. They got a key to open the door to that room. When the jailers returned, they opened the door for Rex to enter first.
Rex did so followed by Deathholder and lastly the two jailers. They awaited until nightfall when the family head walked in absolutely drunk and his wife and three daughters had to carry him in.
Rex was already not pleased. That was nothing to angry about yet. The wife stayed while the family head and the daughters went into the room.
"I am sorry for you all to see such a disgusting sight. May I ask why you all are sitting on my furniture?" The wife asked.
"As you can tell, these jailers have put a messenger into the holding cells. For he had spoken in a manner that was not right for the Demon King.
However, I want to ask if your husband had by any chance offered your daughters to the Demon King? Although it is extremely unlikely for anything bad to have happened to them. The Demon King will check their naked bodies just in case." Deathholder spoke calmly but on the inside he was worried that Rex did not like the way he handled it.
"You mean Cruto the messenger?" The wife asked.
Deathholder did not know his name but he had a way to describe him close enough and the wife nodded in agreement.
"Cruto the messenger does that name sound familiar?" Deathholder asked the jailers.
"He was someone who was supposed to be dealing with the darker side of the arena. He was protected by several of the higher ranking gambling cultivators to ensure that everything went smoothly when payment was done.
Since his biggest protector had a bad mistake. The others do not hold enough protection for him to be able to protect him now." The jailers spoke.
Rex felt that he could use him and decided to change the roll of the die. If it landed on a one Rex would allow him to be scot free instead now. He would use the others above him to ensure his wives' safety.
If it landed on a two or three one arm would be severed but that is all that would happen and Rex would not use the others.
If it landed on a four Rex would then roll a die to see how the result would be. If it landed on a five Deathholder would roll a die. If it landed on a six a fight between Cruto and someone of equal power would happen. The bets would determine what truly happens.
The wife felt a little anxious as Rex began to daze off in those thoughts. She wondered if she was going to be arrested for her husband or used until her husband became sober.
When the daughters entered the room and Rex truly looked at them. He wondered why they were so average looking. He asked that to Deathholder about why these women were so plain looking.
