"Asshole! Who the hell are you!?"
The smile on Nolan's face vanished, replaced by a cold, indifferent expression. He gave Jack a brief glance before asking Masha, "Did this guy hurt you?"
Masha timidly turned toward Jack. "Yeah, Brother Nolan. He choked me and said he'd sell me to a slave trader."
Her grip around Nolan's neck tightened. To Masha, who had never seen the outside world, Jack looked truly terrifying.
Not only had he beaten the old baker, but he had also strangled her and threatened to sell her to a slave trader.
Masha knew what slavery was. Her sister had told her it was an illicit practice where a person was turned into someone else's property.
Although she didn't fully understand the bigger picture, it was still terrifying.
Nolan's expression darkened once more. His gaze sharpened as he spoke with killing intent. "You've crossed the line. Now then, how would you like to die?"
