Chapter 127
****
Inside the prison cell of Francis currently,
John just arrived as he saw the mood,
Francis pointed to the spy as he saw John and spoke, "It seems he already got the letter . See as I said he is already going to do what the Pope and cardinals have ordered him . The very fact that I am the disciple of Cardinal, Saint Paul must have made him think twice before committing any actions against me and my men . "
As soon as John came in the cell Francis spoke to John in an arrogant, "Come, count John, are you here to apologize or defy again against me? Remember this, your actions will have consequences if you defy us, Your position already is in jeopardy because of Prince Hector and Duke Fjord . Do you really want to make the Radiant church as your enemy as well?"
John didn't bother as he ordered the spy from ghosts, "Ross, Feed him this drug, I have personally made this drug . It will increase his sensitivity by 100 times whether it is pain or pleasure or other things . "
The spy named Ross immediately followed the orders, "Yes, my lord, at your orders immediately . "
Ross immediately forcefully fed him the drug as Francis struggled and resisted .
Francis resisted as he mocked them, "What is this, another petty torture poison of yours? haven't you guys already tried enough . "
Spy smiled as he spoke, "Your mate has already started speaking . Now, you too will speak . I will make sure to break your faith for the radiant church . In front of absolute power, even your god won't help you . You know dying is easy if you die in an instant however resisting pain and torture for a long time is hard both physically and mentally .
Francis laughed as he smiled and mocked them . "Well, what he said still won't be the truth because many a time illusions are better than truth . "
Francis then continued, "It seems you guys have made your decision to defy the Radiant Church . "
Ross smiled as he spoke, "We already know that what he was saying wasn't the truth and hence we came here today . You can still be freed as long as you can say the name of the mastermind . Was it your master or someone else? As for defying the Radiant Church . You guys were too arrogant this time when they should have softened the tone when your Pope requested something . You see lord is someone who will treat someone with respect if he is treated with respect . He is someone who likes reciprocity . I guess you were unlucky this time around as Pope himself wrote this letter . Anyway Lord himself will speak to you now . "
John then smiled and asked Francis, "You see still have one last time to say the name before you still have a chance . It would be too late for you later on when the torture begins . "
Francis mocked as thought about small torture he faced earlier, "Hmph . . whom are you threatening? You are just a nobody and an upstart count . you will anyway be decimated in more than a year even if you are able to resist . If you are foolish enough to make us your enemy as well then I guess your foolishness would know no bound . Be smart and release me immediately or face the music . "
John first used the thumbscrew on his thumb as he spoke to Francis in a ruthless manner, "Looking at your stubbornness I guess it is someone high in your council who ordered my hit . This is very more reason that I can't trust your Radiant Church . Let's see how you can tolerate the effect of this drug and resist the pain . "
The moment his thumb got inserted into the Thumbscrew .
He screamed as if his life was draining this time as he began to feel tremendous amounts of pain in his thumbs . The effect of the drug was very surprising to everyone present in the cell . Ross was most shocked as he never saw Francis screaming like this in the two days they tortured him . John didn't stop as he continued to torture him,
John smiled as he spoke, "This is the effect of this new drug . You can still resist you know . I will gladly increase the pressure and I have just started . "
John then hammered his fingers one by one slowly as Francis screamed hoarsely . Francis lost two of his fingers on his right hand . He was in extreme pain as he resisted his urge to show any weakness in front of John . However, he couldn't as he felt fear for the first time here at the prison .
John continued, "You don't want to lose your eyes, do you? or would you like to get castrated publicly as Prince Lukav does it so often to the dogs of Radiant church or those knights he usually executes? You see I only need one name, as long as you give the right name, you won't have to suffer this humiliation . "
Francis shrugged as he hmphed, "Hmph . "
Francis thought, 'If I name him I would be in big danger myself . I will at least die with honor here . '
John bought a short sword as he saw Francis's stubbornness, He came near him and whispered, "I heard you were quite a lustful guy from the other guy, I guess you don't like your weiner anymore . As you prioritize saving the ass of someone else I will gladly help you sacrifice your weiner . "
Francis was really terrified this time around when he saw John's cruel smile as he thought, John was quite serious this time around and he didn't want to suffer the same pain which he experienced today after losing two of his fingers after John continued his torture . He already pissed his pants at the thought of castration .
Francis thought as he saw John's cruel smile, 'No, no, I can't take this humiliation . This guy seems as crazy as that madman . He might really cut my dick off . God, why was I sent to do this mission and face such humiliation . '
Francis tried to calm down and speak, "I will speak, I will speak . I only have one condition . "
John smiled as he moved his short sword near his dick as he spoke, "You see you are not in a position to make any conditions to me . I am quite angry this time around with your arrogance . You see there will always be consequences of angering me . "
Francis immediately said as he knew that this was his last chance, "It was the new pope, David . He ordered us to assassinate you . He was also the one who gave us information on you guys . Please don't castrate me . I have already said what you wanted . I hope Lord John keeps his word . "
Ross too was quite shocked this time around as he saw fear for the first time in the eyes of Francis . Ross was also shocked by the fact that his Lord seemed quite scary if he was angered . He thought, 'I guess Lord is quite angry this time around . It seems he is quite prepared to face the radiant church this time around . '
John nodded as he was convinced that Francis wasn't lying, he smiled and said, "It seems you really aren't lying . Okay, I won't castrate however you will have to denounce your faith publicly if you want to be freed and not lose your eyes . "
John this time gave two bottles of this drug to Ross as he instructed him, "Keep this drug in case you meet any stubborn prisoners in the future . This would be effective for half a day . It will increase the sensitiveness of the body by 100 times whether it is pleasure or pain . You must also target their weakness if you want them to open their mouths . If you are in need of them in the future then go to the pharmacy warehouse to restock it . The name of this drug is . . . . . Schadenfreude . . . Nah, Wonder Drug . Yes, it is called the Wonder Drug . "
Ross immediately answered, "Yes, Sir . "
Francis was silent this time around as he didn't show his previous arrogant behavior . His silence also indicated that he agreed to the terms of John this time around .
Francis meanwhile thought, 'This count is just as lunatic as that prince . This guy is really dangerous if we get in a big conflict with this guy . He will reduce the morale of the whole Church if we get into a fight with him . He seemed like he would really castrate me with that drug on my body . I need to be careful to not anger him anymore, who knows he would go back on his word . '
John ordered Ross, "Meanwhile, Report to Taylor that later on both of these guys will make a public announcement later on so he needs to make enough preparations for their show . "
Ross thought as he saw the whole scene, 'It seems Lord is prepared to confront the Radiant church as it was the Pope who personally ordered John's assassination this time around . '
Ross nodded and reported, "Okay, Milord, I will immediately convey these orders to Mr . Taylor . He would most probably be checking and inspecting the farms now that winter is near . "
John also reminded him, "Meanwhile I will also be increasing my time spent in Grandma Melanie's pharmacy nowadays as I will be increasing the rate of experiments on various diseases from now on . We are officially treating Radiant Church as our enemy from now on . Convey this message to all of our head officials . As our city is growing day by day, there will also be a logistics Department from now on . Jack will be in charge of collecting all the strategic supplies from now on . He has already left his family to fully invest in our city from now on however his family is quite stubborn as they want to wait out this winter while he just like Joseph has taken his own decision . I met him already and his appointment is done . Inform all of them . "
Ross nodded and left after taking the orders .
Later that afternoon,
People in the city were gossiping as they saw Taylor making preparations for a show,
"It seems there will be quite a show this time around as even Taylor is personally handling this work . It is most likely related to Lord . "
"I heard Lord is quite pissed with the arrogant tone of the Radiant Church this time and he is intending to teach them a lesson . My brother is one of the prison guards . He told me that assassin was Saint Paul's disciple and lord was quite pissed with his arrogant tone, you might have not known but he pissed his pants when he saw that lord was serious about cutting off his body parts . You can wait for a big show today . "
"It seems lord is ready to confront Radiant Church . I guess we all should be prepared as well . Lord is most likely pissed by the fact that some bigshot in the Radiant Church ordered his hit while targetting his friends . "
"Looks like both of the assassins will face a big humiliation today . especially that arrogant guy who was caught that day . I wonder how the Radiant church would react after this . It seems that this would be second after Prince Lukav that someone is intending to humiliate Radiant church in the public so openly and that too Saint Paul's disciple . "
