EBE Chapter 1737: The Mastermind Revealed!
Chapter 1737: The Mastermind Revealed!
“Ma Han, let them speak.”
Xu Xiao seemed worried that Ma Han might act impulsively, and hurriedly spoke up:
"It's impossible for just three slave groups of mercenaries to have caused so many disappearances."
"Make them reveal the mastermind behind this!"
"Confess?" Ma Han's eyes flashed with anger as he said bitterly.
"These mercenaries are all ruthless and heartless, willing to risk their lives for money!"
"Their master must have used special methods to prevent them from leaking secrets. They definitely wouldn't have told them easily without making them suffer a lot!"
"Squad leader, you're too soft-hearted, so don't worry about it. I have plenty of ways to get them to talk. If all else fails, we'll just replicate the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the mercenaries cried out in unison:
"The mastermind behind us is Smir Chainmaster! Smir the Oglin Foxman!!"
"If there's anything else you want to know, just ask. We will answer truthfully and would never dare to lie to you!"
Ma Han: "..."
"Smir?"
A look of suspicion crossed his face; he clearly hadn't expected these three mercenaries to be so cooperative. He quickly pressed for an answer:
"He's just a chain supervisor, how could he have such great power?"
The three mercenaries looked at each other, their faces showing a mixture of hesitation and something else.
Seeing this, Ma Han was enraged and immediately launched into a second attack, shouting:
"explain!!"
"Who is behind Smir?!"
"If you dare to hide anything, I'll break one of your three arms first!"
I thought the three mercenaries would put up a stubborn resistance this time.
The next second, Mercenary A responded tearfully:
"It's Shi Aotian, Shi Aotian!"
"Who else could be capable of doing these things, and dare to oppose the Chosen Ones, besides Shi Aotian, the sole leader of the slave group?"
Ma Han: "Uh..."
Knowing that mercenaries are willing to risk their lives for money and their stance is not very firm, they can change their minds at will if necessary.
I never expected him to be so wavering!
Could someone just sell out their master like that?
They haven't even used any methods yet!
Could it be that Ma Han's loud voice is really that scary?
But I often speak loudly when I'm with the Palu people, so why don't they seem afraid?
Xu Xiao didn't think as much as Ma Han did; he just wanted to find the whereabouts of the kidnapped Palu people as soon as possible.
She took a half step forward, stared into the speaker's eyes, and coldly questioned:
"Where are those Palu people who were kidnapped before? Are they still alive?"
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, the three mercenaries were immediately speechless again.
"Speak!!" Ma Han pressed a materialized arrow against the forehead of one of the mercenaries, burning him until he cried out in pain.
"We don't know! We really don't know!"
"We're not the only three of us working for Shi Aotian and being ordered around by him..."
"Where will you three go after you take the person away?!" Ma Han pressed on.
"Of course, it's handed over to Chain Supervisor Smir, and then the Chain Supervisor transfers it to the location designated by Great Colonizer Shi Aotian," Mercenary B stammered.
After saying that, he didn't forget to emphasize:
"Of course, only Smir Chain Supervisor knows the location designated by the Great Colonizer Aotian; we mercenaries have no idea about it at all..."
"Don't know? That's easy!" Ma Han's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth as he said:
"I happen to know a 'Great Memory Restoration Technique,' and I'll show it to you all for free today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, flames erupted from the arrow pressed against the mercenary's forehead!
The sizzling sound of roasting flesh filled the air, accompanied by Ma Han's devilish whisper:
"I will scorch every inch of your skin with flames, and then heal it with healing potions!"
"Repeat it over and over again, until you tell us where the Tibetans are!"
"No, no! We really don't know where Smir hid them!" the mercenary howled in pain as an arrow was pressed against his forehead.
The body instinctively tries to struggle and dodge, avoiding the imminent harm.
But the white thorns wrapped around his body were like copper locks and iron chains, tightly binding his every movement.
Fighting back will only intensify the pain.
Xu Xiao frowned.
Although they were equally anxious and wanted to find the missing Palu people as soon as possible.
But in her view, Ma Han's actions were ultimately a bit too extreme.
He quickly channeled his mental energy to pull the youth away:
“Ma Han! He might really not know, don’t push him like this…”
"Squad leader!" Ma Han cried out urgently, seeing that he was being forcibly pulled away and had no way to resist Xu Xiao's strength.
"Don't you know? These mercenaries are the best at lying!"
"They're all driven by profit; they'll do anything, no matter how despicable, for money!"
"Don't worry, I guarantee they'll live, and I absolutely won't harm them!"
"Give me some time, squad leader, I can find out where those missing Palu people are hiding!"
As he shouted, Ma Han continued to struggle, trying to get closer to the three mercenaries again.
The three people opposite were terrified.
Especially the guy in the middle whose forehead was burned by the flaming arrow, and a foul stench was emanating from his crotch!
Clearly, some muscles that act as 'gates' have lost their original function in the face of fear and pain.
"Stop! Ma Han, calm down!" Xu Xiao's brows furrowed even more.
She knew, of course, that the mercenaries of the group were masters of lying and rarely uttered the truth.
But right now, she really couldn't sense any deception from those three people.
The only feeling I have is the helplessness of the weak when they are threatened and oppressed by the strong.
Just like what I felt from those Palu people back then!
This made it impossible for her to be ruthless and use drastic measures.
even,
They couldn't bear to see Ma Han torture and interrogate them.
"Squad leader!!" Seeing Xu Xiao's reluctant expression, Ma Han naturally guessed what she was thinking.
Unfortunately, his own strength was far inferior to that of the chosen ones, so he could only sigh.
"I understand you were also forced into this situation." Xu Xiao looked at the three mercenaries again, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
“But this time, I need to know where those Palu people went.”
"If possible, please provide accurate and reliable information from the three of you!"
After speaking, the woman did not wait for the three to respond, and directly invoked her power to restore the three to their original state.
Because it does not damage the fundamentals, the cost of the power of 'tolerance' is almost negligible.
The charred and turned-out skin quickly returned to its state before being scorched by the flames, all the scars disappeared, and it was completely restored.
Even the wet stains on the pants and the stench in the air had disappeared without a trace.
It was as if everything had returned to its original state, back to the moment when the three of them were first bound by the white thorns.
The three mercenaries exchanged glances, their expressions unusual, clearly sensing that something was amiss.
But meeting Xu Xiao's gaze, they couldn't voice their opinions.
I can only answer the woman's question directly for now.
