"Useless thing!"
Hyderick cursed coldly. The hand that was usually holding a wine glass or a paintbrush was now holding a long whip covered in barbs. As Hyderick waved his arm, the whip left a dark red trajectory in the air, adding another wound to Robert's body.
Robert had taken off his shirt and was chained to the wall with his hands and collarbone. This made him unable to move at all, and he could only allow Hyderick to whip him. Robert's body was already badly mutilated, and he didn't know how many times he had fainted. But as long as he fainted, a bucket of bone-chilling cold water was enough to wake him up again, and he returned to this hell.
The hook-shaped barbs on the whip were not only covered in blood, but also covered in meat scraps. Every time he came into close contact with Robert's body, these barbs would tear off some flesh from his body. Robert was able to grit his teeth and endure it at first, but 10 minutes later, he kept screaming and begging. As for now, he only wanted to die, die immediately. Unfortunately, Hyderick did not do as he wished.
After Robert fainted again, Hyderick threw the whip to one of the guards and said, "I want him to die at this time tomorrow. Remember, not a minute less."
The middle-aged guard nodded with a ferocious expression and asked someone to get the first aid medicine. Since Hyderick wanted Robert to die tomorrow, he couldn't die now. In Hyderick's private warehouse, there were several medicines that could stimulate a person's life potential. Even if he was on the verge of death, he could still drag it out for a day.
Hyderick wiped his palm with a clean handkerchief, and a few drops of blood splashed on it. After wiping it clean, he threw the handkerchief on the ground and said to a figure in the shadows, "Follow me. It's time to meet your useless big brother."
"Yes, father." The man walked over from the shadows. He had a soft dark green head, soft and delicate facial features, a frameless glasses on his nose, and a faint smile on his face. He was still a youth, and his entire body gave off a very clean smell. He was obviously out of place in this dark cell. During the 45 minutes that Hyderick had tortured Robert, the youth's gaze had never shifted from Robert.
A gentle smile hung on his face from beginning to end. Therefore, no matter how friendly the smile looked, it was undoubtedly a demonic smile in the eyes of the guard with the long whip.
That was one of Hyderick's sons, Arthur. When he walked past the guards, the guards who had already done many bloody things couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. The youth's gaze was like that of a cold-blooded animal.
Kodorf looked at the constantly moving lead cloud in the distance. His mood was as gloomy as the dark cloud.
After returning, Robert was taken away. Even now, there was still no news. It was likely that they had met with misfortune. Kodorf didn't have time to pay attention to this battle technique instructor. Right now, he couldn't even protect himself. There was no doubt that Hyderick would definitely hold him accountable. Kodorf even thought of escaping, but when he saw a few more rank 10 guards outside the door, he gave up on the idea.
Although the guards said that Hyderick had sent them to protect him, how could Kodorf not know that this was not protection, but surveillance?
Without knocking on the door or giving Kodorf any time to prepare, Hyderick pushed the door open and entered. When Kodorf saw him, he hurriedly bowed to greet him. When he saw a slender and gentle youth standing behind Hyderick, Kodorf almost squeezed out two words from his mouth, "Arthur!"
No one knew better than him that his seemingly gentle and docile brother was more sinister and vicious than anyone else. Kodorf still remembered that one birthday, his brother had given him a poisonous scorpion as a gift, causing him to almost be stung to death by the scorpion. Afterwards, Arthur could still pretend to be innocent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Hyderick didn't say anything after entering the door. He walked to the window and looked out with his hands behind his back. Arthur smiled calmly, gently closed the door, and found a chair to sit down. Like a good student, he placed a copy of "Politics and Philosophy" on his feet, then gently opened the pages and began to read in the room.
The atmosphere was extremely strange.
Cold sweat broke out on Kodorf's forehead. He didn't know what Hyderick meant. At this moment, he finally couldn't figure out his father's intentions. Only the sound of Arthur flipping through the book could be heard in the room, and the rustling sound echoed in Kodorf's ears. It was clearly just a soft sound, but at this moment, it fell into Kodorf's ears, but it became louder and louder. In the end, Kodorf almost roared. He wanted Arthur to close the damn book.
Hyderick finally said, "It's almost winter."
"Yes, father." Kodorf didn't know how to answer, so he could only answer randomly.
Hyderick did not turn around and continued, "In a few months, this year will be over. Kodorf, you're only one year older. "
"By the time I was your age, I had already gone to the Outer Realm. I have to say, Kodorf, you've wasted too much time on the family's internal affairs. " Hyderick turned around, his gaze as cold as the winter snow as he swept past Kodorf. "You're cautious and careful. These are your strengths. But do you know what your weaknesses are? "
"Father, please advise me?" Kodorf lowered his head and said.
"That's being smart!" Hyderick shook his head and said, "I told you to do it beautifully and not leave any traces." But look at what you've done. Amazing, Kodorf. You actually found a Level 18 killer to work for you. But in the end, that person died, and Allen was still alive and well. "The problem is, you actually found Blood Hand, you actually found a killer on the surface!"
Kodorf wiped his cold sweat, his body trembling. He had no idea where he had gone wrong.
"Didn't you investigate before you hired him? This damned Blood Hand hasn't accepted a commission for many years. Do you know what that means? " Hyderick snorted coldly, "This means that his experience, techniques, and even intuition as an assassin have regressed. Even if he still had level 18 Origin Energy, he wouldn't be able to wield the advantage he should have. Not only that, but he also runs a company. Don't you know how many loopholes this will leave for you? "
'"Blood Hand's goal is too obvious, my dear son. It was obvious that Blood Scorpion only needed to move his fingers to pull out all of his old secrets. Then, Anna can find Blood Hand's agent and follow this line down. I don't need to tell you the result, do I? "
Kodorf immediately raised his head and said, "That woman can't be found. I've already made Blood Hand's agent disappear."
"Disappear?" Hyderick shook his head and sneered, "Why do I have such a stupid son like you? What's the use of just making Blood Hand's agent disappear? Blood Hand's own goal is too obvious. Do you think a person like him can conceal his whereabouts? Anna doesn't even need to check Blood Hand's agent. She can find the clues she wants through Blood Hand's recent activities and other relevant details. "
"Also, the matter of your Black Street last time wasn't handled cleanly. The reason is that Anna has her eyes on my private account!"
Kodorf finally couldn't withstand the pressure and knelt down with a thud. "Father, what should I do?"
"You should be the one to answer this question." Hyderick lowered his head and looked straight into his son's eyes. "Your grandfather has come to inform you that there will be a council of elders in three days," he said. "Kodorf, do you know what this means?"
"This means that he may already have definite evidence in his hands. Damn it, you even implicated me! I think I've warned you long ago not to let my name be associated with a series of things you've done, right? "
Kodorf suddenly hugged Hyderick's feet and said, "Father, please, please save me. You can discuss it with Grandpa. You see, Allen isn't dead. Things aren't irreparable yet. "
With a snap, Arthur closed the book and smiled, "You're right, Brother Kodorf. Allen isn't dead yet, but you've put our branch in an extremely awkward position. Would you please consider your father's situation a little? Grandpa has always been a little critical of us. Now, because of you, my father will attract Grandpa's anger. "
"Shut up!" Kodorf finally couldn't help but roar, "You bitch bastard, I'm talking to my father, how can you interrupt!"
At the end of his sentence, Hyderick had already slapped him in the face. Kodorf flew backwards, crushing a table, and a huge five-fingered mark appeared on his face. He covered his face and looked at his father in fear. Hyderick sighed, "Unfortunately, Kodorf, Arthur is right this time. You have indeed implicated me, and you have even implicated the members of our team. But fortunately, as you said, things haven't reached the point of no return. Of course, there is a bit of sacrifice involved. "
He walked to Kodorf's side, squatted down, and whispered in Kodorf's ear. Then he stood up and winked at Arthur, and the father and son left the room. They walked out and had their own guards close the door. Suddenly, Kodorf shouted, "Father, I am also your son. Why are you so cruel to me?"
Hyderick smiled and left with his hands behind his back. After walking for a while, he said, "You see clearly, Arthur. I hope you don't repeat the mistake Kodorf made. "
"I know, father."
"Then tell me, what will you do to Allen next?"
"I will try my best to become his friend and brother." Arthur narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently, "The closest kind!"
Hyderick nodded and said cheerfully, "You are much better than Kodorf in this regard."
