79 Puppeteer (2/2)
He didn't care about that as he knew wasn't going to let him get away, he was going to interrogate him soon enough. He looked towards Feng Cai'er and inquired her in a soft voice, ”Cai'er can you do something for me?”
Feng Cai'er was curious as to what her big brother wanted her to do and nodded as she said, ”Of course, I will do it.” Ryusei then instructed her, ”I want you to return back to the Star Luo Inn and stay with Rongrong. She should have woken up by now and must be bored. Also tell her that I am going to come back in the evening, I want to do some work here.”
She seemed reluctant to leave him but, in the end, she nodded as she didn't want to disappoint her big brother. Ryusei told her the direction for the Star Luo Inn and also instructed her that she could ask someone if she didn't find it.
She nodded as she started to move in the east direction where the Star Luo Inn was situated. After she went away, Ryusei turned his head towards that unconscious man and held his clothes as he disappeared from the view.

The puppeteer woke up as he looked around. He felt a terrifying pain in his chest, arms and his legs. He heard a cold voice from behind him, ”Heh… you woke up really quick. Looks like the pain was greater than I expected.”
He turned around and saw someone standing with a full cloak to cover his body and a mask on his face. The man asked, ”Where am I? Where have you brought me?” Ryusei looked at him like he was an idiot. What kidnapper tells the victim about his location? Surely, an idiot would ask such a question.
He started speaking, ”You shouldn't worry about that. Instead, we are about to play a game.” The man seemed confused as he heard his words, he asked in a curious voice, ”What game?”
Ryusei answered him, ”You will know soon enough…” A purple Lightning flickered above his hands and he sent the lightning inside the body of the man.
The man started screaming in full volume as he felt the Lightning destroying his body. Every cell inside his body was being annihilated by the Lightning and he felt an unimaginable pain inside his body.
His mind went blank as he couldn't think anything for some moments. Ryusei started speaking with some mirth in his voice, ”So, this is the game. Whenever I ask you a question, you will have to tell the truth otherwise the penalty is that the power of the Lightning within your body would sharply increase.”
He then started speaking in a cold voice, ”Tell me who you are.” The man weakly replied, ”Hu Zhong is my name. I am a lowly merchant with the Puppet Spirit.” Ryusei coldly smiled at his words and increased the power of his lightning, he said in a cold voice, ”You think I know nothing about you. Tell me, who you really are?”
He said it with a powerful voice, it made Hu Zhong realize that he couldn't bluff his way out of this. The pain had already clouded his mind which made him slightly unable to think rationally about this. Right now, he was thinking of all the ways with which he could reduce the pain inside his body and since Ryusei had already given the solution.
He weakly started speaking, ”I am the one who observes the bodies of the Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall and make sure that nobody takes them away. I am the outer member of the Phantom Brotherhood.”
Ryusei widened his eyes at that name as he now atleast knew the real name of the Nightfall Organization. It was the Phantom Brotherhood; this name didn't ring any bells within his mind as it was a very unfamiliar name.
