More than anything
Xiu furrowed his eyebrows in suspense after hearing Zhong mentioning Hao Fei his brother. To be exact Xiu himself doesn't know the orgin of Zhong, all he knows is that his commander is no normal mortal.
"Now we have to think of escaping from here!"
Zhong murmured coughing hard because he was terribly beaten up by the knights. His body had wounds that were not healing. As he wasn't immortal so he will have to tolerate them.
Both of them got alerted when they heard the footsteps of someone arriving there. Xiu lowered his face and whispered.
" Lord it's the mage who has come to check on us!"
Zhong nodded and started coughing hard trying to show how bad his condition was. Same did Xiu, they had to show the mages that they were breaking down into a weak bodies otherwise they'll use high amount of magic torture on them.
"Very well! I wasn't expecting a monster to care about his son!"
