Of course, if he wanted to, he could've beheaded them the moment he met them, but he needed information from them. Like, where did they hide the inheritance?

He needed to know about everything. Because if he returned empty-handed. He knew the results awaiting him. He was just exhausting them so that he could capture them and get out.
"He's strong." Valcroy said. His wounds healing rapidly. Making Arden raise an eyebrow, and they raised further when he saw Erik going through the same process. Wondering what was going on.
