Wow!
The icy water splashed on the man's face, instantly waking him up and making his eyes widen.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The man struggled to breathe, trying to move his body, but found himself in pain all over, his limbs strapped to the frame.
He was completely immobilized.
The masked man in front of him put the basin of water on the ground and leaned to one side with his arms crossed.
She was still dressed the same way, wrapped in a cloak, with only her bright green eyes peeking out as she looked at him, which was quite frightening.
He still clearly remembered that his gang of brothers were all taken down by her agile and skillful techniques.
"Awake? If you're awake, let's talk."
The man looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
It was a dark and damp basement. Soon, he spotted the woman sitting in the chair by the sound.
The other person was playing with their nails, and the table was covered with torture instruments that could not pass the review.
In his blur, he saw that the woman was wearing a very peculiar glove with several gemstones embedded in it, which he couldn't count.
There's a saying that goes, "Those who understand the times are the heroes."
"I believe that the various instruments of torture available now will be able to pry open your mouth."
The man was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He frantically struggled to break free of his restraints, but to no avail.
He shouted immediately, "I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"
Snap!
The masked man in front of him suddenly slapped him across the face.
"I haven't even asked yet, what do you want to say?"
Lia fiddled with the pliers in her hand, looked at him, and laughed.
The crisp slap jolted the man from his daze back to his senses, and anger overwhelmed his reason.
Do you know what you're doing?!
"Kidnapping! Violence! You! You will be arrested!"
"So what? When you die like a stray dog by the roadside, who will care who killed you?"
Lia stood up, her eyes cold, as if she had done this countless times before.
The man struggled desperately again.
"Damn it! Damn it! How dare you do this? What gives you the right?!"
Lia looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Because I have money."
man:"……"
One sentence silenced him completely.
"Just because you have money doesn't mean you're all that. Just because you have money doesn't mean you can..."
“My brother is Victor. He is a nobleman and a third-tier mage.”
man:"……"
He stopped talking.
Leah picked up the pliers and tapped them on the table, then continued, "Since you know you've offended the Clavner family, you should have been prepared for the consequences."
"Tell me, who exactly ordered this?"
"Duke, it was the Duke who ordered us to do it!"
He still didn't change his previous statement, and seemingly to convince Leah, he gave her another address.
"That's our base. You can go there. You can look there!"
"The Duke gave us a large sum of money to smash your shop today! I'm not lying, you have to believe me!"
Upon seeing the man's hysteria, the masked man approached Lia and lowered his voice.
"That's what he said before, could it really have been the Duke who did it?"
Lia clicked her tongue, seemingly unconcerned.
"A clumsy attempt to frame someone."
“If you hadn’t said that, I might still have some doubts about the Duke, but you insisted on sticking to it, which actually lessened his suspicions.”
The man was stunned for a moment, but Lia noticed it immediately.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
As her charming laughter subsided, she clutched her stomach, raised her alluring eyes, and said with a smile.
"You really believed that? I was just kidding you."
"But judging from your reaction, it seems it really wasn't the Duke who did it. I knew he wouldn't use such a low-level method."
The man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but Lia simply waved her hand.
"Alright, take care of him, Leon."
"Don't forget to remove his body parts; you can sell them for some money. Oh, and his accomplices too; get rid of them all, leave none behind."
Lia patted the man's face, her smile as devilish as a devil's.
The man's body trembled uncontrollably; he struggled in fear, desperately trying to say something.
But the next second, Lia gently flipped her hand, and a bottle of potion appeared in her hand.
The azure liquid shimmered brilliantly under the light.
"What a pity, even if we sold all your organs, your value wouldn't be comparable to one of my family's commodities."
She looked at him with a smile, the medicine swaying back and forth in front of his eyes.
"Of course, this thing worth a thousand geese is just like you in my eyes."
"Worthless."
Snap!
The next second, the medicine bottle smashed into his face and shattered with a 'bang'.
He only felt a lot of liquid flowing down his numb face.
The red and blue liquids were mixed together, making it impossible to tell whether it was blood or medicine flowing out.
"You're a madman...you're a madman! Let me go, let me go!"
The man's voice trembled, and his eyes widened.
Under the dual torment of mental and physical suffering, he was already unrecognizable.
Seeing the expression on his face, Lia couldn't help but smile again.
A beautiful smile, yet it seemed to seep into people's hearts like a demon.
Under the man's bloodshot eyes, she yawned, turned around, and said calmly:
