Chapter 673: Chapter 647: Taming
Gao Yi crossed his arms and remained silent; there was no need for him to take action, not even to speak.
Dani stood by with a thoughtful look, primarily considering the different interrogation thods between the two countries. According to his habits, he would have left Little Andic so leeway, a glimr of hope, instead of giving no room for maneuver like Yuri did.
Yuri’s thod was to clearly state that you were dood, only differing in whether you die comfortably or painfully. To Dani, this way of leaving no leeway in interrogation wasn’t good.
Sith rarely handled such matters, so he just watched from the side. But doing little didn’t an he had never done it; if he had to conduct the interrogation, he probably could manage a dozen or so techniques.
Now, it was ti to see how effective Yuri’s technique was.
Words ant nothing; it was the result that mattered.
Little Andic, after his initial confusion, was left with only despair.
Little Andic opened his mouth a few tis but remained silent. Just as Yuri was about to speak, Little Andic said blankly, “How do I know what you know and what you don’t…”
He was confused, full of unwillingness, but had no intention of fighting to the death, nor the courage to hold out to the end.
As soon as Little Andic spoke, Dani knew Yuri had succeeded.
“It’s you who wants to survive, not . You better hurry up and find a chance to prove your worth, give it a good think: if you can say sothing valuable, at least I can make your death comfortable. If you’re truly valuable, to the point where I must spare your life, you’ll strike it big.”
Upon first hearing Yuri’s words, they seed arrogant, but after thinking deeply, Gao Yi felt Yuri was speaking the truth.
Gao Yi couldn’t help but nod.
Little Andic found so spirit, raised his head, and said, “I have a lot of money, does that count?”
“Your money is not as much as ours, but who would mind having too much? How much can you offer?”
“700 million dollars!”
Gao Yi was stunned; a prince who had dominated the underworld for years could only offer 700 million dollars?
It must be a mistake, sothing’s going wrong here, isn’t it?
Noticing Gao Yi’s astonished expression, Little Andic thought he had found hope for survival, so he imdiately said, “I can give you guys, 700 million is a lot of money…”
“Why so little?”
Realizing that his expression had misled Little Andic, Gao Yi asked in confusion, “Your Andic Group is well-known and has been in the mix for so many years, and you only have a net worth of 700 million dollars? How have you been managing; why so poor?”
Little Andic opened his mouth, looking at Gao Yi, not knowing what to say.
Gao Yi curiously asked, “What about your father? He should have more money, right? A billion, maybe?”
Little Andic replied blankly, “I’m talking about spendable money, not just cash locked in a vault.”
“And I’m not talking about shady black money.”
Little Andic hesitated for a mont and then said softly, “My father probably has at least a billion, I guess.”
Gao Yi shook his head, and Yuri glared at him disapprovingly, then turned to Little Andic and said, “Alright, we will certainly take your money; at least it will allow you to live a few more days, but it’s not enough, far from enough.”
Just a few billion dollars could buy a few more days of life?
Is deception so demanding?
However, Little Andic showed no hint of dissatisfaction. He thought seriously and said, “I have a long-term client list; I also know of several incidents that seed like natural deaths but were actually assassinations. This is very valuable.”
Yuri still shook his head, sneering, “We aren’t solving cris, nor are we avenging anyone. For those already dead, what’s the point of knowing these things?”
Little Andic continued, “I can tell you who provides technical support! I can tell you who the shareholders of the Dark Web are! Many big figures, very valuable!”
“We just want to eliminate you and your father and then take over the Dark Web. Then we can continue running the Dark Web, and its shareholders beco our shareholders. Why would you harm our shareholders?”
Little Andic was dumbfounded, speechless.
Yuri looked serious and angry as he said solemnly, “You should know this: once we start using the harshest thods to interrogate you, all your secrets will be no secret. You’d willingly hand over all your wealth just to die quickly, you know that, right? You must know that, right?”
Little Andic’s mouth snapped shut; he looked at Yuri in terror and said in a low voice, “No, no matter what I say, you’ll kill . Yes, you’ll torture repeatedly and then kill , it’s aningless. I’m dood…”
“Yes, you are dood because you are so stupid that you didn’t even understand what I initially ant.”
Yuri looked at Little Andic with disdain. Little Andic desperately pondered, then suddenly a light bulb went off, and he said to Yuri, utterly astonished, “You want to be a dog, you’re not… I understand now, you don’t want to be a dog, biting whoever you tell to; you’re using as a weapon against others. I am… a tarnished witness?”
Yuri curled his lips and said, “You only figured out such a simple thing now? Did I not express myself clearly enough?”
Yuri looked at Dani, puzzled, and asked, “Was I unclear, or is he just too stupid?”
Dani spread his hands and said, “You indeed didn’t make it clear, and well… he is indeed quite stupid, but I must say, you didn’t initially convey that aning.”
Yuri curled his lips disdainfully again, but Little Andic suddenly found survival hope once more and said eagerly, “I’m willing! Whatever you want to do, I’ll do it! Whoever you want to testify against, I’ll testify! What I know doesn’t matter; what you say matters; whatever you say goes!”
Gao Yi watched in amazent, his admiration for Yuri arising spontaneously.
Little Andic was willing to be a dog; surely, he wouldn’t hesitate to reveal any secrets he knew.
Yuri hadn’t asked much, but he already got all the answers he wanted; whenever he asked, he’d get ready-made responses, ensuring Little Andic would spill everything he knew without reservation.
The key was he didn’t even say much; how was that achieved?
Dani realized and frowned at Yuri, unable to resist scratching his face.
The progress was remarkably fast, making Yuri’s thods seem almost magical, but the point is after careful thought, Yuri really didn’t do anything magical; he simply threatened him, just set the stage that Little Andic would die no matter what he said or did.
This wasn’t even an interrogation; it was dostication.
