Chapter 146 - Interrupted (1/2)

Sizzz

A thick and rich nauseating scent filled the room as the branding iron with smoke evaporating in the air pressed against the assassin's bare flesh. The excruciating pain was too heavy and cruel for him to endure that his voice whimpered like a newborn puppy. Tears squeezed out of his tightly squinted eyes as his sweat reflected on his bloody, topless eight pack.

The guard didn't blink once when he removed the branding iron slowly from the injured body. Zhi Hei stood by the door with his arms crossed, ”Well? Want to talk yet?”

The assassin bit his lips and refused to mutter a word out. His lips tilted up, forming a smirk. The smell of burnt rotten meat polluted the air in the room as the branding iron was placed back into the fire.

”You have an impressive high tolerance against pain, but your brain is much slower than I had expected. Pretty understandable since you are one of the top assassins in the underground market. I already know that Li Teng was the one who persuaded your client to look for you to do the dirty business. So, why don't you spit out what I want to know?”

Zhi Hei didn't bother wasting a second of his time since Shi Xue had recently awakened and had lost her memories. Even though he had maids in the house, he'd rather be the one taking care of her. His mood has been pretty great lately because she became more comfortable around him.

Actually, he purposely snuck out of the house after she had drunk the awful herb fragrance medicine that Chen Mu had prescribed. As much as he wished to fasten up this torturing process, he didn't want to let the assassin off easily. Thinking about how severe Shi Xue's injuries were when he had found her made him extremely infuriated.

The assassin showed an ugly mocking grin before spitting towards Zhi Hei's direction. ”Kill me. I won't tell you anything you want to know, but I had a lot of fun beating that Shi girl up. Tsk, Tsk, she must have never been beaten black and blue before. I only had to swing the metal bat a few times to make her jump from her spot.”

Hearing his disgusting voice describe how he punched, kicked and tossed her into the ocean to feed hungry fishes heightened the murderous atmosphere in the room. The temperature remained the same, if not, even warmer because of the burning fire. Though the room was warm, the guard felt shivers from behind and didn't dare to make eye contact with Zhi Hei.

Those who works or worked for Zhi Hei would know that once angered, he could have the most gruesome ways in torturing the target. Once, somebody aimed to harm his family members. Before that person raises his arm with the knife in his possession, his balls were stabbed by a flying pair of chopsticks that Zhi Hei was using.

That man was then dragged to the dungeon where he was tortured for ten days before he died. Now, this assassin challenged Zhi Hei's patience. The guard gulped loud enough for himself to hear and slowly moved aside.

”From the way you described it, you seem quite proud. So how many times have you injured her before tossing her to the waters?” The calmer he reacted, the more chills the guard received. 'Doomed! The boss is very angry this time!' He wished that he could shut his eyes, but a part of his job was to witness the unique ways in killing enemies to make them die in regret.

”Hah! Twenty-seven? I lost count. Possibly more.” The assassin showed his yellow gooey teeth and laughed.
