Chapter 995: 995 The Other Shore’s Sea of Flowers, Selway (19)
"Our Lord does not have only one elite under his command."
"Mr. Luo Xuan, does that an I should run as the best option? After all, I’ve already made it out. Just let
go, and I can leave this damn place."
Luo Xuan just curled his lips in a cold smile.
To abandon Li Sinian?
In fact, the risk of setting this trap was quite considerable, although there would definitely be heavily guarded on that day, but if Li Sinian escaped...
Chances of capturing him again might not be so plentiful.
"After all, I can take or leave that mission. Why should I risk my own life? It’s clearly an impossible task..."
"Why is it impossible?"
"Isn’t it obvious? What kind of person is Li Sinian; is he soone who would confess just after a few words? Or do you think torture will do the trick? That won’t work, will it? If that tactic worked, would he still be kept till now? Speaking of which, Mr. Luo Xuan, is the quantity of military arms huge? Enough for our Lord to take the big risk of exchanging Li Sinian’s life for it?"
"Military arms are part of the reason. Most importantly, Left Envoy under Li Sinian has reached an agreent with our Lord. Without taking a penny in profits, he handed it over to us and will actively shrink his influence to curry favor with our Lord. Their only request is for Li Sinian to die. However, Li Sinian is, after all, Li Sinian. He discovered the signs before anything happened, and had already moved the arms. The place we found was completely empty."
"Then I definitely can’t stake my life on this! Why does our Lord think Li Sinian will fall into my hands? I don’t have any reason to undertake this mission. Mr. Luo Xuan, you might as well let
go."
Regardless of whether she was sincere or acting, Luo Xuan stroked her hair, "That’s not possible, Heather."
"Ah... what should I do then... Are you suggesting I ****? But even that won’t do... in that damp and cold dungeon? Why exactly does our Lord think I can complete the task?"
"You will complete it," was all Luo Xuan said.
If it were her, Li Sinian would.
"Why?"
"You’ll find out."
...
Three days later, Heather and Luo Xuan went to the organization’s secret dungeon together to et that legendary person.
The dismal dungeon was filled with standing water as soon as one stepped in, and the entire air was saturated with a nauseating mix of dampness and blood.
Heather knew that the standing water she stepped into was most likely mixed with the blood of the people held here.
The place was divided into two parts: one for the organization’s internal mbers and the other for captives.
Screams from torture resounded everywhere, utterly wrenching.
"Ah... I really hate coming to places like this," Heather covered her nose and mouth, waving her hand, "It dirtied my new shoes."
Luo Xuan said nothing and led her in.
He was constantly observing their surroundings and her actions.
Heather, don’t do anything unnecessary.
If she made the slightest move, the "prisoners" locked in these cells would burst out, and she would be riddled like a hive.
The place was fully staffed with their people.
Yet he surmised, even if she wanted to do sothing, she would wait to see Li Sinian first.
Finally, they arrived at a large cell, and Luo Xuan ordered the door to be opened.
He saw that Heather’s gaze fell inside, with added suspicion in her eyes as she looked at the person inside.
On a cross-like iron rack, a tall man was locked in place, resembling Jesus, with palms pierced by iron nails oozing dark red blood. He hung his head low, and from his face to his entire body, there wasn’t a single uninjured spot—all were various wounds, all bloodied.
