Reinhard lifted William by his neck till his feet were dangling in the air.
"William!" Laina cried out as she rushed at Reinhard, but he slapped her away, making her fall to the ground.
"You...bastard!" William coughed out a curse while his neck was being slowly squeezed. Reinhard scoffed and threw him against the wall.
"Ugh!" William's back hit against the wall and collapsed on the floor.
He slowly tried to get up, "Our daughter is...nothing special...why would you try so hard to get her? Just because of some people's false beliefs?" William asked since this was the question that had been bugging him.
Without any concrete proof, he knew the military wouldn't send out some of their best Ascended ones to capture someone like their daughter.
"Heh, you are right," Reinhard smirked and continued, "We are really here for the Crimson Devil, and your daughter is just a side mission."
