Chapter 6: Torture
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Under the blue skies and white clouds there lay a vast and endless ocean.
The fishing boat drifted slowly, and Caroline Onassis was overcome with boredom as she looked at the report in her hands.
“Has that old woman shown any signs of reaction?”
A burly black man in front of her replied, “I’m afraid it is as rumored. Li Shuanghua did not care about this grandchild.”
“Tsk, I knew it. How could a cold-blooded old woman like Li Shuanghua give up the chance to get close to the Mage King for the sake of a grandchild she hates?” Caroline shook her head and said, “What else did those old geezers say? When can I return?”
“It’ll be another week. After this one week, regardless of whether Li Shuanghua takes action or not, we’ll need to get rid of that chap.”
“One week?!” Caroline shouted. “You want me to stay in this dratted place with no network, cell phone or television for one week?!”
Cold sweat broke out on the burly man’s forehead as he answered softly, “This the Elder Council’s decision…”
“A bunch of idiots, old farts, good-for-nothings, crappy…” Caroline shouted, “Who was it that came up with such lousy idea? That cute little sister of mine?! Or that uncle of mine whose head is filled with pig’s intestines?”
No one replied. When Caroline was like a crazy roaring lioness, no one dared to reply.
Caroline spat, looking at the trembling burly man in front of her, and suddenly asked, “Is that chap awake?”
…
In the black nothingness, a purple flame was flashing in the distance.
“What do you wish for?”
Fang Xingjian shouted loudly, “Who are you?”
The voice ignored him and continued to say, “What do you wish for?”
“I want power. Power to make me invincible! Are you able to give me that?”
“What do you wish for?”
“Tsk.” Fang Xingjian shook his head. He had been dreaming the purple flames daily, but the other party would not show any reactions regardless of what he replied, and instead just kept asking him what he wished for.
The next moment, icy cold seawater was poured all over his body.
Intense pain came from his right arm.
Fang Xingjian gradually opened his eyes.
A black lady was looking at him with a brutal gaze, similar to a tiger assessing its prey.
“Hahahaha, Fang Xingjian, you’re awake?”
Fang Xingjian looked at his right arm, which kept sending signals of intense pain. When he saw the empty spot where his little finger had been, and the layer of bandages wrapped over it, a tinge of savageness flashed in his eyes. His little finger had been cut off.
“There was no other choice. We needed something to show your grandmother our sincerity.” Caroline walked to stand in front of Fang Xingjian, touched his face and said, “It’s too bad that that old woman really doesn’t like you.”
Fang Xingjian stared at her and asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”
Caroline gave a weird laugh and said, “I am Caroline Onassis. As for why we’re looking for you, it’s very simple. The Black Mage King is looking for a disciple, but there are currently two candidates. One of them is Fang Xingchen, while the other one is Doris Onassis.
“And that old fart is only willing to take in one disciple.”
Fang Xingjian looked coldly at Caroline and said, “You guys want to use me to threaten Li Shuanghua? I can’t help but say that this is a really bad move.”
“Hahahaha.” Caroline smiled and said, “You’re right, this was a really bad move. We’ve sent her a letter along with your finger, but she hasn’t shown any reactions as of yet.
“However, this is merely one move out of the many blows we’re planning. For the next week, your Fang Clan’s business, territory and members will all be receiving all sorts of blows. That old woman won’t be able to hang on.”
“I guess it’s just too bad for me, huh?” Fang Xingjian smiled bitterly. “You guys are not just planning to snatch the position of the Black Mage King’s disciple, but you also want to force the Fang Clan down from their position as one of the Five Great Clans?”
“Hehe, the Fang Clan’s abilities have long been unfit to be considered on par with ours, and yet they are still hogging so many businesses which they cannot hold on to. This is not good. It’s not only the other great clans, there’s also quite a number of multinational companies and political groups that have their eyes set on the Fang Clan.
“We’re the first to take action, but we’ll definitely not be the last.” Caroline’s finger stroked past Fang Xingjian’s shoulders as she asked, “Make a guess. Will I kill you?”
Between her words, the area where her fingers passed by felt sore, as if a blade had been there, and had torn off a huge chunk of flesh off Fang Xingjian’s shoulder.
A terrible cry escaped from Fang Xingjian’s mouth as he glared at Caroline and he coldly said, “You lunatic.”
“Hahahahaha.” Licking the blood on her fingers, she laughed loudly and said, “In the midst of these boring seas, I have to find some entertainment for myself.”
Caroline put her hands together, and suddenly the air in the room changed. Countless streams of air started rubbing against each other, creating a loud rumbling, as if ten thousand horses were stampeding, or as if a waterfall was flowing backwards.
‘A large-scale air shockwave?’ Fang Xingjian focused his gaze. ‘Is this the Onassis Clan’s second job transition, the Grand Air Controller?’
Caroline revealed a perverse sense of excitement as she looked at Fang Xingjian and shouted, “If you’re in pain, you must cry out. You must definitely cry out, ok?”
In the next moment, the many streams of air turned into blade Qi, consecutively rubbing against each other, and releasing a sharp sound before they all shot out towards Fang Xingjian.
In a moment, Fang Xingjian felt as if he was being dismembered, as if tens of thousands of small, sharp blades were drilling through him at the same time.
Endless sounds of puchi puchi echoed through the air, as fresh blood started filling the atmosphere, as if it were a faint layer of mist dispersing in the air.
Caroline let the blood splash on her, dying her clothes and skin in the color of red.
“Scream out, cry out, enjoy yourself!”
A twisted sense of satisfaction hung on her face, and her vision started to blur.
