Got beaten for no reason
Gar's face was grim. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "The researcher is very stubborn. No matter how hard we try, he won't speak. It seems we can only send him back to the main planet prison first, and then slowly find a way to interrogate him."
Edmund frowned and asked, "Where are the guards? They should have something to say, right?"
When the guards were mentioned, Gar's face darkened even further. He angrily said, "Those guards had a seizure and went completely insane. They've lost even basic consciousness, let alone questioning."
Hearing this, Eugene looked at Edmund, then at Knox, who was sitting silently on the sofa, and asked seriously, "You two didn't take the inhibitors they gave you, did you?"
Knox shook his head slightly. He was the auction item, so he avoided the injection of inhibitors.
Edmund slapped his thigh and said, "Inhibitor, is this it?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a small black box from the storage terminal.
The box was given to him by a man named Luca, who even urged him to inject the inhibitor in front of Anrita.
Fortunately, Edmund knew in his heart that he was the partner of Saint Anrita, and his wife was the most powerful person in the entire galaxy, so he didn't need this so-called inhibitor at all.
He handed the box to Eugene, and several people immediately gathered around, looking at the blue inhibitor in the box curiously.
The inhibitor in the box glowed blue, as if it contained some kind of power.
Eugene's face was stern, his voice cold. "Is this the inhibitor that makes males addicted? They also persuaded you to take the injection?"
Edmund nodded, recalling the scene:
"They say this inhibitor is more effective than female mental power, especially for males with high mental power levels who can't get comfort from females. It's almost a panacea."
Knox, who had been silent all this time, said to Eugene and the others:
"The guards on Caster Island aren't very strong, so they've been recruiting S-rank and above males. Edmund this time should be their main target, as they value both his status and his S-rank strength."
According to their plan, Edmund might have been injected with inhibitors at this moment and be at their disposal.
It's just that something unexpected happened during the process.
There are divisions within Caster Island.
The Dorothys want to take revenge on Edmund, wash away his mark, and thus destroy him.
Edmund sneered after hearing this. "They can't even tell the real from the fake, and yet they dare to come to me. Lauren should use this inhibitor for me! That bastard."
Edmund was furious at the thought of Lauren impersonating him and felt that Lauren should pay the price for her actions.
Knox's voice remained serious:
"The SSS-rank male who captured me was the former leader of the Dark Forest tribe. He donated the spiritual fruit to Caster Island and served there, becoming the captain of their guard. It's possible that he was injected with this inhibitor."
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
They really couldn't understand how an originally arrogant and powerful tribal leader could easily obey the orders of the dungeon. If it was because of the inhibitor, everything would make sense.
Hearing this, Garl said worriedly, "So, our wife was captured by that white tiger? Damn it! We have a grudge against him. Will he hurt my wife?"
Knox's face was tense, and he pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time.
They all knew that they had many grudges with the people of the Black Forest Tribe in the Dark Forest.
Especially Knox, Gar, Anthony and others, who smashed and looted the Black Forest Tribe and completely offended Archer.
Aqir even said that he would never show mercy to them if he saw them again.
Now that Anrita has been taken away, they are filled with worry and self-blame.
Several people looked at each other in confusion.
Edmund took a deep breath and whispered, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. That man is actually quite nice to his wife."
As he spoke, he talked about how he treated Anrita badly in order to maintain Lauren's image, and as a result, Archie came to his house and beat him up for no reason.
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Eugene, Knox and Gar were looking at him in shock.
Especially Knox, who stared at him with gloomy eyes, as if to say, if it weren't for Anita, he would have to beat him up again.
Edmund: “…”
Being stared at by the three people with shocked and condemning eyes, Edmund felt uncomfortable all over. He dodged his gaze several times and stammered:
"You...why are you looking at me like that? I'm just trying to maintain my image. You all know Lauren is a jerk. To avoid suspicion, I have no choice but to imitate his personality. What else can I do? My love for my wife is genuine, no less than yours!"
Gar sighed helplessly, breaking the oppressive atmosphere: "Fortunately, my wife is wearing a human skin mask. As long as she controls her mental power in the short term, Aqir should not be able to discover her identity."
Gal knew that Anrita was always meticulous and would be extremely cautious at such a critical moment.
And there was one thing they didn't say. Even if Aqir discovered Anrita's true identity, based on their understanding of the tribe to which Aqir belonged, he probably wouldn't do anything to Anrita.
In the eyes of those archbishops, Anrita is the reincarnation of the Beast God. They have always had great awe and respect for the Beast God. Even if they will not help her, they will never harm her easily.
Eugene took the inhibitor box from Edmund with a serious expression. After carefully examining it for a moment, he placed it in his storage terminal and said to everyone:
"I'll give this inhibitor to Landry to research after we return to the main planet. He's an expert in the field of medicine. Perhaps these drugs are similar to the ones Dorothy gave Edmund before. We can use this opportunity to uncover the hidden agenda behind the Dorothy family."
As Eugene spoke, he sorted out various clues in his mind. He knew very well that this inhibitor might become the key clue to uncovering the conspiracy behind the scenes.
Then, Eugene looked at Edmund and said clearly:
"We'll continue tracking Achill's ship. As for Caster Island, Gal and Anthony's pirate group will make the contact. The pirate group has many interstellar channels and more information sources than we do. Perhaps they can find Caster Island's second base."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and turned back to their own busy work.
Knox walked alone to the window of the communications room and looked at the vast starry sky.
His mental strength has reached SS level, and his perception is more sensitive than other males.
At this moment, he was full of regret. Why didn't he go to find Anrita in advance when he was on Caster Island?
If I could have been with her at that time, I wouldn't be so worried now, living in fear all day long, and even unable to sleep well.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and secretly swore in his heart that he must find Anita as soon as possible and bring her back safely.
