"Stop being stupid!" Isemeine finally said after she recovered her bearings. "I have my own plans, do you think pile of trash would actually be able to capture me if I didn't want it to be the case?"

Ryu raised an eyebrow, looking Isemeine head to toe. 

"Even if that was true, no." Ryu replied simply. 

Isemeine's heart skipped a beat. "Why?"

"A concubine of mine being hung up and whipped publicly like this, isn't that too embarrassing for me? What would I do if other men saw your body? Who would pay me back for my losses?"

Isemeine was speechless before her face turned red then black.
