Chapter 833
Nina had not been tortured, and Ivy could not accept that. Even with Micah having sent his trusted aide, Mr. Joker to protect Nina, Ivy was confident she could ensure Nina would not leave this place alive. Pharaoh was pleased with Ivy's response. Despite her recent lie about Mr. Kerr, she had generally been straightforward. He had been too busy to spend much time with her.
"I'm glad you understand. When you last saw your brother, did you learn much about the people around him?" Pharaoh asked, pursing his lips.
Ivy's heart raced. Why was Pharaoh asking this? Had he met Nina?
"Father, why do you ask?" Ivy asked cautiously, testing the waters. After all, such questions didn't come out of nowhere.
"Today, I saw a woman who claimed to be close to your brother," Pharaoh said softly.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nina!!
Ivy's nails dug into her palms. She was certain now that Nina couldn't be allowed to simply endure torture. She needed to ensure that Nina vanished from this world entirely after suffering unimaginable torment.
"Father, I've only been back a short while, and I don't think my brother likes me very much. I don't know much about his decisions or the people around him," Ivy replied, keeping her head down.
Pharaoh didn't press further. After a few seconds, he asked, "Have you mastered your shooting skills?"
"Yes, Father. I've learned everything from Wes," Ivy confirmed.
"Good. I have other matters to attend to. If you need anything, let me know," Pharaoh said.
"Understood," Ivy responded.

After Pharaoh left, Ivy opened the clothes he had brought. She ignored the cake, not even taking a bite The dress was white with small pink roses adorning the neckline.
Wearing something like this seemed out of place in a war zone. She did not like it at all, but it was a gift from Pharaoh, so she had no choice.
...
Meanwhile, Nina continued her exploration. After leaving Pharaoh's sight, she walked to the other side, memorizing the layout as she went.
She also noticed a pattern in the guards' shifts. There was a two-minute gap during their shift changes, making it the perfect time to escape at night.
Nina did not want to draw too much attention to herself, but she also discovered that there were multiple locations where male and female slaves were held. Just then, a group of people escorted a batch of male slaves past her. As Nina was about to observe them secretly, a tall, dark figure appeared in front of her.
At the same time, he blocked the view of a male slave behind him. The man's face was ordinary, but his amber eyes shone like the moon.
It was Mr. Joker.
Mr. Joker spoke in a low voice, "Had enough of your walk?"
Nina said she was just taking a walk, but in reality, she was observing the surroundings and getting a sense of the layout. But being under Micah's protection, and even granted special privileges, gave her the freedom to do so.
She met Mr. Joker's gaze calmly. "If I said I hadn't, you wouldn't believe me. I've noticed there are a lot of people here. Could you talk to Mrs. Quintana and help me find
someone? And I need to find ver
someone here as well."
Mr. Joker replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Why don't you just ask me to find two people for you?"
