Chapter 324
“What is your name?”
The poor African man couldn’t even talk anymore yet Rey kept asking as if he’s expecting an answer . He literally pulled out his victim’s teeth one by one and even burned part of his tongue at least five times . In just an hour, the African man became a mess of blood and gore .
If it continues like this then he will not resemble a human being anymore . Lucy already captured the two other guys and did as Arthur told her . They weren’t going to be tortured in the normal way, he wanted to force them to go through a special ’experience’, a traumatizing one .
Lucy joined them in the room and even came up with a few torture methods that were tried on the poor victim, who couldn’t voice out his opinion and only suffer through this hell .
“We’ll be leaving for a bit, you can continue . ”
Arthur got up and left the room after he gave one final look to the African man, who had his head dropped, unable to lift it, much less talk or groan from the never-ending agony .
Their next destination was a cave that Arthur dug up casually early in the morning . Apart from chains that were tied to the walls, there was nothing else . The ground was cold and even a bit wet and the place lacked any kind of light .
Currently, tied to thick chains coming from the walls, there were two individuals that were facing each other . They got used to the darkness and seemed to be conversing with a bit of a shaky tone .
They didn’t understand how the hell they ended up here, one second they were working or at home and the next, they found themselves bound to these chains .
Lucy didn’t even show herself, for her, it was a piece of cake to capture these two people and chain them here . As long as it helps Arthur and allows him to finish his revenge then she’ll do anything .
The two men, who were barely able to see each other’s figures and were mumbling in a low voice, were startled when they ears footsteps coming from the only entrance in this gloomy cave .
“Who’s here?”
One of the two spoke with an aged voice . He didn’t seem scared anymore and his tone was very calm . The room, which was covered with darkness, became a bit illuminated as several green fires in the form of a torch appeared all over the cave and allowed the two prisoners to be able to see clearly .
The one who spoke was a very old man with no hair and a white beard . He was also wearing a white blouse which indicated that he’s either a doctor or some kind of a scientist .
The other was actually a youth who appeared to be on his eighteen or nineteen years old . He was wearing an expensive tuxedo that was dirtied due to the current environment, he had handsome facial features which were distorted due to the anxiousness he was feeling right now .
“Fuck! Release us you bastards . . . o-or you’ll regret it!”
Unlike the old man, this kid was more shaken and didn’t seem relaxed, it was apparent that it’s the first time this happened to him . Well, Lucy told Arthur that this youth had three high-leveled guards protecting him, unfortunately, they weren’t that useful against her .
“Welcome to your new home, I hope you find it to your liking . ”
With a sweet smile plastered on his face, he spread his hands in a welcoming manner as he faced the two bound prisoners . Unlike the past targets, he didn’t change to his past appearance .
They looked at this grey-haired man with a scar on his face, the youth furrowed his brows and started looking at Arthur head and toe .
The old man, however, kept a calm attitude and a tranquil expression as if he wasn’t perturbed by the appearance of his kidnapper .
“Sir, who might you be?”
The old man spoke respectfully as he moved his hands, trying to do perform a formal greeting but was unable to as the chains were too short and thick to the point that even his skin reddened .
“Me? No one of importance . What about you? Who are you?”
Arthur feigned ignorance as he asked the old man with a curious gaze . The elderly obviously didn’t Arthur, if he didn’t know who he was then why would he kidnap him .
“I am Doctor Albert Richard . ”
His tone was a bit proud as he declared his identity . He was a well-known doctor that cured many illnesses, especially after the appearance of the System . It will come as a surprise for anyone to discover that this gentle and kind looking old man had anything to do with Arthur’s kidnapping but the reality was always hard to swallow .
This old man not only made Arthur suffer, he also experimented on him . Although all of his experiments were failures back then, the pain that he caused Arthur was, more or less, worse than what the torturer did .
Although he didn’t do it for pleasure but to achieve results, that didn’t mean his sins would be forgiven . Arthur wasn’t the only human he experimented on, in fact, many homeless people and such were tricked into a secret laboratory then used as lab rats only to perish miserably .
As for the young man, he didn’t directly do anything to Arthur, however, he was actually Claudia’s illegitimate son . She kept him well-hidden and well-fed . Thanks to Lucy’s organization, he came to know that this teenage was raised to become a rotten human just like his mother .
There have been several occasions where he sexually assaulted maids or workers, he also had many sexual fetishes that he forces many girls to do against their will, and this is only the tip of the iceberg .
Arthur glanced at the young man, expecting an answer but the young man only spat at the ground and said
“You’re dead meat now! I know your face!”
“Oh really? You’ll have to get out of here alive first . Do you think you’re capable of doing that? Because when I see those chains . . . I really doubt your words . ”
Arthur said those words and left the room, leaving an angry and scared youth and a confused old man . Their hell didn’t begin yet, after a few days of starvation, the effect would be much better .
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Back on Astria, precisely in the territory of the MoonStar Sect, a fast meteor appeared out of nowhere and came crashing down on a deserted hill . It caused a huge disturbance and a loud explosive sound, it even alerted Anastassia and co, who were busy preparing for the upcoming wedding .
Anastassia, Jackob, Sonia, and Mary rushed to where the meteor landed only to find a large crater in place of the small hill . Right at the center of the crater, inside the dust cloud that was formed due to the meteor, there was a silhouette that was dusting off his clothes while stretching his muscles .
When the dust cloud cleared a bit, they could see a tall man wearing a white custom, he had a tattoo of five dark stars under his left eyes and a long dark red hair .
“Ah man! Who would’ve thought those bitches were weaker than chickens! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh and why would he meddle in our fight and send me here! Fuck! I couldn’t even see his attack, fucking monster!”
The man noticed the four figures standing at the corner of the crater . He lifted his head and scanned them one by one then fixed his gaze on Anastassia while smiling playfully
“A strong one appears, perfect timing!”
