Chapter 180: Unable to Move
After hearing Lan Sen's analysis, Cheng Yi's eyes shifted slightly and he looked at Sui Tang.
Sui Tang's eyes were also sharp and serious. Cheng Yi knew that Sui Tang thought the same as he did. The secret in Luo Chuan's hands was enough to shake the current situation.
Lanson didn't see the two of them looking at each other. He just folded his arms and stared at the big screen, his fingers tapping on his elbows, as if thinking about something.
"But why would your old patriarch allow Rex to do this to you?"
Lanson didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence. He hadn't received the news of the death of the old patriarch of Lupinos. How could Rex dare to take action if the old patriarch was still alive?
Sui Tang yawned and said lazily, "Ha—there are too many doubts about this matter. This one is actually not a big deal."
Cheng Yi was playing with a lighter in his hand, tapping it on the solid wooden table, making a clicking sound.
"What else did you find out?"
Cheng Yi refused to accept the request of 30 million for such a small amount of money.
Lan Sen also saw that Cheng Yi was dissatisfied. He gave a sly smile and waved at Cheng Yi.
"Don't worry, your money won't be wasted."
"Besides this useless deputy, I also captured someone else who will surely interest you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene on the screen changed again.
This time it was a darker room, with yellow spotlights illuminating the center of the room, which was a huge round steel cage.
There was no one near the cage, but one could hear the rattling of chains and the roar of wild beasts.
In the middle of the iron cage was a man with his head lowered. His limbs were restrained and he couldn't move at all.
The prison uniform on his body was soaked with blood and dirt, and the whip and knife wounds were clearly visible.
Cheng Yi looked at him doubtfully for a long time, but he couldn't remember his impression of this man at all.
As if sensing this gaze, the man raised his head and looked at the camera in front of him.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Cheng Yi shuddered all over, as if an electric shock had occurred to his body, and every part of his body was shaking.
Hatred, fear, astonishment, countless emotions mixed with sad memories flashed through Cheng Yi's mind.
Even though this face was covered in blood, Cheng Yi recognized it at a glance.
Those eyes, like those of a carrion vulture, seemed to want to see through Cheng Yi, tear him apart, and eat him alive through the screen.
Lan Sen looked at Cheng Yi's reaction with satisfaction, and raised his lips slightly. "How is it? Are you interested?"
Cheng Yi blinked twice, recovering from his momentary loss of composure, and asked Lan Sen in a deep voice, "Where did you catch him?"
"Sorry, I can't comment on this matter," Lansen shrugged, looking helpless. "And you can't take this man away. I can't afford the consequences of touching him. But I can let you meet him and interrogate him."
Cheng Yi suppressed the anger in his heart, pinched the rim of the cup with his big hands, and squeezed the bones until they crackled.
"Let me say a few words to him."
The murderous intent revealed in Cheng Yi's words almost condensed the air. The few words tainted with a strong bloodthirsty aura made Lan Sen shiver unconsciously.
Lanson licked his dry lips, rolled his Adam's apple, and pressed a button on the remote control.
A display screen slowly descended in front of the iron cage.
The man in the cage heard a sudden hissing sound amidst the roars of wild beasts. He raised his bloodstained face, looked at the person on the screen, and chuckled.
"I never thought you were still alive, and that you had lived for so many years."
His voice was intermittent and hoarse, but it was obvious that it was the deep and powerful voice unique to middle-aged men.
Cheng Yi sneered, his breath cold: "Are you disappointed?"
"I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, but I'm a little surprised," the man cleared his throat and spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood. "When I brought you to England fifteen years ago, I never imagined that this day would come."
Cheng Yi looked at the person on the screen coldly, his bloodthirsty and violent aura showing no sign of abating.
"There are many things you haven't thought of."
The middle-aged man grinned, and his face, which was already covered in blood, became even more distorted. Only his pair of sharp eyes stared at Cheng Yi.
"You're still exactly the same as you were when you were eleven."
Cheng Yi looked at him coldly and said nothing.
The middle-aged man just stared at Cheng Yi on the screen.
He raised his face higher, as if to see Cheng Yi's face clearly.
The face beneath the messy hair was just as wild as the boy he had met fifteen years ago, with an irresistible primitive temptation.
But he has become more mature and more charming. His sharp, upturned narrow eyes have given rise to a suffocating aura.
That is the innate aura of a king, which can make people forget even their fear and only know how to submit and worship.
The middle-aged man chuckled and said jokingly, "If you were born a few years earlier, I might choose to work for you instead of Rex."
Cheng Yi's brows didn't relax at all, "Are you begging for mercy?"
The man moved his scarred limbs, and the chains on his body rattled as he pulled them.
The hungry beast tied outside the iron cage smelled the spreading smell of blood and began to howl restlessly.
"If you have the guts, kill me."
There was contempt and disdain in his tone.
"Oh, by the way," the man changed the subject, "Is the little girl who came with you that year still alive, or has she been eaten by you?
Hahahahahahahaha——"
The laughter coming from the dry and hoarse throat sounded like the growl of a devil.
Cheng Yi's murderous intent reached a peak at this moment, and he tightly grasped the wine glass in his hand.
"Ka--" sound.
The wine glass shattered in Cheng Yi's rage, but he seemed to feel no pain and held all the crystal fragments tightly in his palm.
"Pah, pah."
The sound of blood dripping.
The fire burning in those narrow eyes is enough to burn everything in the world.
Seeing that things were going badly, Lanson leaned forward and raised his hand to soothe him. "Ciro, I urge you to stay calm. He's just trying to provoke you. If you kill him now, neither the British nor the white forces will let you go."
"Tavia has just completed its expansion in Central Europe. We must not let all that go to waste."
Sui Tang also took two steps forward and patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder.
"Lanson is right, and even if you kill him now, it won't vent your anger much."
Sui Tang actually didn't know who the man in front of him was, but listening to his conversation with Cheng Yi, he could basically conclude that he was the one who brought Cheng Yi and Qu Le from the mainland to the Lupinos family.
Moreover, this person now works for Rex and is also a leading figure in the British government, a big shot in both the black and white worlds.
They couldn't touch such a person.
