Chapter 1100: Chapter 309: Extraordinary Archery (10,000)
"What loyalty to the damn Manor Lord."
"Once youāre dead, no one will remember the great things you did."
"Surviving is the most important thing!"
Galloping past the gravel and muddy roads, through fields of farmland.
In the darkness ahead, the familiar outline of a three-story building emerged.
It was the Benitez Manor!
Callum couldnāt help but quicken his horseās speed once more.
A little while later.
Callum entered the clearing before the square, sharply pulling on the reins to stop his horse.
With a series of pained whinnies, the horse finally halted.
Without a moment of hesitation, Callum dismounted and strode quickly towards the interior of the manor.
As Devant gathered the guards and peasants in the manor, the awakened maids had already gathered in the reception hall.
Seeing Callum hurriedly rushing towards the depths of the manor and climbing the stairs, the maids were full of confusion.
Callum ignored the maidsā gazes completely.
His steps were swift, covering three steps in two, he climbed the stairs to the third floor of the manor.
Callum turned his body, heading straight for Lady Daliaās room.
At this moment.
Callum couldnāt care about Lady Daliaās secret relationship any longer.
Standing before the double wooden doors of the bedroom, Callum raised his clenched right hand and knocked on the door.
His low voice rang out.
"Open the door."
Perhaps it was because Callumās knocking was too loud.
Or maybe because Lady Dalia heard Callumās voice clearly.
Lady Daliaās cold voice came from behind the double wooden doors.
"Callum, are you crazy?"
"Itās so late, and you dare come looking for me?"
"If the master finds out, we both will end up hanging on the gallows!"
Hearing the voice from behind the double doors, Callum immediately frowned, glanced behind him, and after taking a few steps back, he charged towards the door.
Just before reaching the door, Callum lifted his right leg and kicked fiercely.
Crack~
With the sound of wood snapping, the tightly closed double doors were kicked open.
Inside the room, Lady Daliaās frightened voice cried out.
"Oh my! Callum, have you lost your mind?"
"Such a loud noise is certain to attract the masterās and the guardsā attention..."
Striding in, Callum scanned the bedroom.
By the dim light of the wall-mounted oil lamps.
Callum could clearly see.
Lady Daliaās voluptuous and fair body lying on the bed.
But at this moment.
Callum had not the slightest interest!
Averting his gaze from Lady Daliaās round white skin.
Callum moved towards a wooden chest not far away.
Reaching the chest, Callum bent down, inspecting the iron lock in the gap of the chest and lid.
Callum straightened up, gripping the scimitar at his waist.
With a metallic scrape, the scimitar was drawn.
With a wave of his right arm, the blade chopped down on the lock.
With a sound of cutting and falling, the lock rolled to the ground.
Callumās eyes lit up, not bothering to put away the scimitar, he opened the chest in front of him.
However.
Seeing the chest filled with silk and satin clothes, Callum instantly frowned.
As a frequent visitor to Lady Daliaās room, Callum naturally knew these were all her clothes.
Unwilling to give up, Callum grabbed all the clothes from the chest and tossed them out.
Even after overturning the contents, Callum still did not find what he was looking for.
Lady Dalia, casually draped in a thin blanket, approached Callum from behind and rebuked him.
"Callum, have you lost your mind?"
"I may admire your physique, but that doesnāt mean you can act recklessly in my room!"
"Even if I canāt bear children for the master, Iām still his legal wife!"
Callum ignored Lady Daliaās words, focusing his gaze on her as he asked impatiently.
"Whereās the money? The masterās money, where is it hidden?"
Initially, Lady Dalia was about to scold him further.
But when she saw Callumās cold expression, she was frightened into silence.
Her faltering voice came out.
"You... you know, the master hasnāt been in the bedroom for a long time..."
"Naturally, he wouldnāt leave the money here for me to manage..."
Callum quickly thought for a few seconds, muttering to himself.
"The study... Yes! It must be in the study!"
With that, Callum headed out of the bedroom without a backward glance.
Looking at Callumās departing figure, Lady Dalia was filled with terror and hastily asked.
"Callum, what on earth is happening?"
Callum still did not stop.
But his impatient response reached Lady Daliaās ears.
"If nothing goes wrong, the master has already died under the charge of the armored cavalry!"
"If I were you, Iād pack up and flee immediately."
"Once the armored cavalry suppresses the guards and peasants, the next step is to come to the manor!"
Lady Dalia, her legs only partially covered by the thin blanket, followed to the bedroom door.
