The icy red blade flashed by, and the last howling figure fell in response. Mountain Crow shot at the soldier corpses on the ground to deal the final blow, kicking the body beside him. In less than two minutes, the three Patriarchs had ended this unsurprising battle.
"How is this possible? How could you so easily penetrate that barrier?"
Dr. Kreif watched as his carefully brainwashed soldiers didn't even give him enough ti to escape. Imdiately, he lost his composure; the pretentious calm deanor from two minutes ago vanished, and there was a noticeable trembling in his voice.
"I told you, is this what gives you the courage to challenge us?"
"Impossible... impossible, this is my life's work in scientific research, how could you..."
Mountain Crow approached the middle-aged man, pressing the gun barrel against his forehead, "Nothing is impossible, understand?"
"As the major said, you just need to synchronize with the barrier's frequency to break through its defense. Do you think that's difficult for us, or are you just too ignorant, never having seen how people like us fight?"
"But clearly, less than three minutes have passed..." Kreif swallowed nervously.
"To deal with your clumsy tricks, thirty seconds is all it takes, fool." Mountain Crow sneered.
"Dr. Kreif..." Xiaoliu stood naively by, his face desolate. To him, the man was the only one in the world who had ever given him warmth, even if it was false.
"Kid, you have terrible judgnt; guys who look like good guys often have the most evil intentions, compared to them, even ambitious n are nothing."
"Soone else's kindness won't give you Power. Only when street punks get beaten do they learn to fight back."
Kreif seized the mont to suddenly start trouble, lunging toward Xiaoliu, taking the boy hostage, a syringe slid from his sleeve, pressing against Xiaoliu's neck.
"Don't co closer, or I'll kill him!"
Upon saying this, he found the three Patriarchs quietly watching, exchanging glances, stifling laughter.
Seeing their attitude, Kreif's unnad rage surged, but Mountain Crow's next words poured cold water over his head.
"Did you forget our identity?"
"We're from the underworld, is this really necessary?" Mountain Crow turned the gun toward Xiaoliu.
"Why don't I help you do it, kid, just close your eyes, it'll be over quickly."
"How can you do this!" Kreif roared with a rough voice, "You people without a moral compass."
"It's infuriating to be reprimanded by soone who sacrifices thousands of lives on a whim." Mountain Crow didn't waste words, firing directly.
A stray bullet grazed Xiaoliu's face, piercing through Dr. Kreif's cheek. The latter scread in pain, clutching his bleeding face, retreating swiftly, hands frantically grasping.
Xiaoliu was scared stiff, Mountain Crow gestured with a nod, and the boy, once he understood, quickly ran to the side, trembling, grabbing a weapon for defense from a fallen comrade's hand.
As if abandoning all thoughts of resistance, Dr. Kreif sat on the ground, his eyes lifeless.
"This trivial matter of live sacrifice isn't worth our effort to find you, let's talk about matters concerning the 'Syndicate.'
"Impossible, how could you know..."
Upon hearing the word 'Syndicate,' Kreif's eyes trembled, realizing he said too much, quickly hanging his head, staying silent without saying a word.
Mountain Crow and his comrades were not in a hurry, waiting for Kreif to speak. Ti ticked by in silence until Dr. Kreif couldn't hold back any longer.
"About the 'Syndicate,' I won't talk. Go ahead, use any interrogation tricks you have."
Mountain Crow wasn't surprised by the answer, nor did he waste words, kicking the man to the ground, then signaled for his two companions, the two exchanged glances, and stepped forward in unison.
"Sa as before, you take the left leg, I'll take the right, Thistle, you just lift his head."
Kreif didn't understand what the three were up to, but inside, alarms were blaring frantically, an inexplicable cold instinctively making him tighten his legs:
"What are you going to do, I'll let you know, no matter how you interrogate , whatever thod you use, I won't talk!"
"Have you heard of 'Aruba'?"
"Aruba, what Aruba?" Kreif's voice trembled with fear.
Soon, Kreif understood what they intended to do, as his body was lifted into the air, with two people each pulling his legs apart, charging at high speed toward... a thick concrete pillar!?
"Seino!"
"Wait, I'll talk! Ask away, I promise I'll say everything, wait, wait ahhhh!"
With the loud sound of cracking, the middle-aged man's agonizing screams echoed in the outpost.
"Ah!!"
Mountain Crow and Yun Que swung him like a swing, grabbing his shoulders and legs on either side, repeatedly crashing him against the concrete pillar. Each crack was accompanied by Kreif's haunting screams, the horrific scene making Xiaoliu on the side shudder.
Later on, the man's body went limp like mud, his screams beca faint, putting him in nearly a fainting state.
Yun Que picked up a bucket of ice water, pouring it straight over, bringing Kreif back to consciousness, he curled up, trembling hands covering his crotch, a man over fifty years old, now crying with tears and snot flowing, the psychological trauma rather than the physical blows made him wish he could smash his head against the wall and die.
"Still thinking of being interrogated, after the interrogation you thought you'd just be a pawn, you think we'd let you off so easily, that thod's outdated." Mountain Crow's smile had a trace of amusent.
"Looks like you don't know our style."
"Oh right, no one who's seen our thods has left alive before, but they all scread about the sa as you did, maybe your reaction was more intense?"
"You three... shaless scoundrels." Kreif spoke poisonously, almost squeezing the words through his teeth.
"Our interrogation thod is getting those being interrogated to willingly speak all the information themselves."
"You have two minutes to organize your speech, or maybe one minute, perhaps if one of us is in a good mood, we'll bring it up and start the next 'Aruba.'
"I'm not a Syndicate operative!" Kreif shouted resolutely.
The three exchanged glances, casually continuing their tasks.
"Not long ago, soone calling himself 'Heidelberg' approached , that man is Syndicate."
Heidelberg?
Mountain Crow frowned slightly. This character was no small matter; months ago he erged in Dickweldo City, quickly gaining control of the entire Moon Sugar network in Dickweldo City within less than three months, and thereby spreading throughout the Chichu Heaven region. From the transportation of Moon Sugar raw materials to sorting, production, selling, and dividing spoils, this tightly-knit operation had ford a huge transactional chain behind it.
This guy is the biggest drug lord in Chichu Heaven, backed by Dickweldo City's notorious Moon Sugar group 'Holy Spirit Association,' and he's the emperor of this Dark Empire.
Currently, more than ninety percent of the new Moon Sugar circulating in the market can be traced back to him. There's a rumor that he originally ca from Dragonfly Town, a little-known town, but the truth is impossible to verify.
This kind of character turns out to be a Syndicate operative.
