Chapter 634 - 634 596 Forcing a Confession
Chapter 634: Chapter 596: Forcing a Confession Chapter 634: Chapter 596: Forcing a Confession Although the explanations given by the other party seemed reasonable, and the person appeared to be quite honest, Rocky simply didn’t buy it!
First, this was a critical period, with everyone eyeing the Mana Runes he controlled. In such times, Rocky couldn’t afford to take anything lightly. Even if the man’s intention was not to steal the Runes, even if he really had accidentally triggered one of Orton’s traps, Rocky would still have to interrogate him strictly.
Second, could Orton’s magical traps be triggered by mistake? Orton was a master of the Magic Energy Domain, and his understanding of magic had reached an extremely meticulous level. The magical traps set by him couldn’t possibly be triggered accidentally, so just based on this point alone was enough to arrest this person on the spot!
Upon receiving Rocky’s command, Monte didn’t hesitate to grab the man by the collar and, following Orton’s deactivation of the magic, directly lifted him up. He then personally escorted the man to Thunderhawk City’s prison.
After Monte left with the man, Rocky turned to look at Orton and others. No one spoke, but Orton nodded at him, and then Rocky finally let out a sigh of relief. This indicated that the Mana Runes and the technology they had re
After reviewing the basic information, Rocky immediately issued an order, instructing Lin Feng to continue the investigation, telling him to leave no stone unturned in his search for clues.
And once Lin Feng left, Rocky headed to the dungeon of Thunderhawk City.
He rarely visited such a place, so despite being the City Lord, he was quite unfamiliar with the dungeon of Thunderhawk City. Therefore, when he and his men stepped into the dark, damp cells, he immediately wrinkled his brow at the odd smell.
He was quickly led to a cell, and upon entering, he saw Xini hanging naked on the wall, his wrists bound by cold iron chains that were just a bit higher than his height. Even when struggling, Xini could only touch the ground with the tips of his toes; he couldn’t quite stand on it.
On Xini’s body, one could see that his skin was torn and flesh was gaping, with whipping marks so numerous they formed a vast net across him, making for a horrific and unbearable sight.
Turning his head, Rocky saw Monte just as bare on his upper body, hastily standing up upon his arrival. The table behind him was littered with all kinds of torture instruments, some of which still had fresh blood on them, clearly having just been used.
It was evident both from Xini’s current state and the dark circles under Monte’s eyes that neither had rested that night. Monte had indeed been carrying out a relentless interrogation as ordered by Rocky, sparing no effort in using severe torture.
“How’s it going?”
After glancing at Xini hanging on the wall, Rocky turned to look at Monte.
“My Lord, this guy is tough, he won’t talk.”
Shaking his head, Monte replied with a sense of helplessness. He had been rigorously torturing Xini all night, but the man wouldn’t say a word, adamantly insisting he was wrongfully accused—a claim that even made Monte start to believe it.
The extent of the wounds on Xini’s body showed that Monte had not been merciful in the least. He had employed a variety of cruel methods to make him speak more quickly, methods so savage that even Rocky didn’t want to inquire about the details. Still, Xini continued to insist on his innocence, which made Monte start to wonder if they had indeed apprehended the wrong person.
One must understand that Rocky’s ultimate goal was not to make Xini suffer, but to uncover the truth and identify the mastermind behind the scenes. If they had really made a mistake, would that not mean all their efforts were in vain?
Of course, that was what Monte thought, but Rocky’s thoughts were clearly different.
Upon hearing Monte’s words, he turned towards Xini and then approached him.
At that moment, Xini had already been beaten unconscious, and looking at the insensible Xini, Rocky spoke as if talking to himself, and as if speaking to Monte, “If it had been someone else, they probably would have confessed by now, right?”
Hearing this, Monte was first taken aback, then his expression turned to one of sudden realization!
