A scream sounded.

Luo did not even clearly see how Lin Hai made his move, how he ingeniously took the dagger from his hand, nor how he chopped off his palm in an instant.

That fluid, skillful, sharp, and decisive method gave Luo an illusion, as if the scene before him was as ordinary as eating and drinking for Lin Hai, having turned into a habitual action.

Lin Hai gently took Tao Xia into his arms and seated her on the sofa behind him, then turned around, looking at Luo whose face was written with shock.

"This, this is impossible!" Luo was shocked to the extreme, and with the severe pain in his hand, someone who usually lived in comfort and worked in an office like him felt terror in his heart to the extreme, realizing how terrifying the threat of life and death could be.

"Harming my woman, there's no other choice but death," Lin Hai's eyes were to the utmost cold.

He had already given Luo a chance just now, but since the other party did not cherish it, he would not give him a second chance.

"You can't kill me, the person behind me will not let you off." Luo staggered back, he could not care about the person's demands and half-threatened.

Tao Xia panted heavily, it was due to the effect of the drug, but her beautiful eyes were fixed on Luo with extreme hatred. If she had not suddenly remembered Lin Hai coming back today, she might have fallen for Luo's scheme, even being violated by him; the thought of the consequences was too frightening, too dreadful to continue thinking about...

"Oh? Willing to tell me about that person behind you now?" Lin Hai asked coldly.

"As long as you promise to let me go, I'll tell you," Luo was still trying to grasp at a sliver of hope for survival, pity he did not understand what kind of man he was dealing with. A man who speaks with conviction, who does not easily change his mind, when he says you must die, you must die. King Yan would never alter the fate he decides for a person.

"I won't let you go," said Lin Hai with an unequivocal tone, undoubtable. The killing intent made Luo's entire back go cold.

"If you don't let me go, then don't think about finding out who's behind me. He will make your lives miserable if he knows I'm dead. Don't think that because Tao Xia is the mayor, she can protect you. You ordinary people have no idea about the darker side of this world."

Luo's eyes carried the insanity of one facing imminent death, threatening viciously. In his view, Lin Hai and Tao Xia were just ordinary people and officials, whereas the person behind him possessed power beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

"Ordinary people? Heh, I've always wanted to be an ordinary person."

Before the words faded, Luo's pupils suddenly constricted. He discovered that Lin Hai had charged at him with an unimaginable speed. The five-meter distance was covered in an instant, and then a strong hand firmly clasped his neck, lifting him up with a single arm.

Feeling suffocated as he was lifted off the ground, what truly horrified Luo was that he weighed more than 150 pounds, yet Lin Hai took him up effortlessly with one hand, how immense was that arm strength?

"Lin Hai, don't kill..." Tao Xia used almost all her strength to cry out these words.

Although she hated Luo, she did not wish for her man to become a killer.

"I will deal with it myself, don't worry."

After soothing her, Lin Hai took Luo, who was struggling with both feet, into the bathroom.

With a bang, the bathroom door closed.

Luo was thrown on the ground, looking at Lin Hai with terror, continuously retreating to the corner of the wall, sensing a giant shadow approaching his field of vision, exclaiming in fright: "You, what do you want to do!"

"Do nothing, since you won't tell, then I can only blame myself for being impolite."

Lin Hai revealed a faint smile.

This smile, however, seemed terrifying beyond measure in Luo's eyes.

"If you kill me, the police will know, and the big shot behind me won't let you get away with it." Luo still clung to the hope of survival.

"The police? Trying to harm my woman, even if the police were to come, it wouldn't be permissible."

"The big shot behind me is more formidable than you can imagine."

"Big shot? Heh, you might have forgotten something. Since he's such a big shot, why doesn't he come forward openly? Since ancient times, only the weak have resorted to schemes and deceit, while experts use strength and overt strategies. You're nothing more than a pawn sent to its death."

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Luo felt as if he had been struck hard, chilling his limbs. Lin Hai's words seemed to make a lot of sense.

"The big shot behind you must be someone from the RX organization, am I right?" Lin Hai asked gently and persuasively.

Luo shook his head violently in terror, but the details in his gaze had already betrayed him.

"Still unwilling to speak?"

As he spoke, Lin Hai took out a syringe from his bosom, filled with a pinkish liquid that looked sinister.

"What is this thing!" Luo looked at the sharp needle with horror.

"This stuff is an agent made by the so-called big shot's organization behind you, specifically for torture and forced confessions. The initial feeling is as blissful as ascending to Heaven, then half of your blood boils, and the other half turns icy, like experiencing both ice and fire. Then, it feels as if countless bugs are gnawing at your organs, but you just can't die. What follows is the excruciating pain of a thousand bugs eating your heart out. As for the end, it's like plunging into Hell, enduring all kinds of torment."

"Oh, I forgot to add, this thing, after my modification, will cause you to involuntarily recall all the wrongs you've done in your life. The way these chemical elements stimulate the nerves and bring back memories is like watching a movie, plunging you into deep remorse as pain and regret entwine."

"I've given this thing a new name, called Redemption, tailored for those like you who don't like telling the truth."

After saying that, Lin Hai revealed a chilling smile.

Luo's scalp tingled, his terror reaching an extreme.

"No... please, don't, I'll talk, I'll talk, please spare me."

But the syringe never paused, and Luo could feel the icy sensation of the needle against his skin.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! I don't know the name of the big shot behind me, but I know his last name is Yan. He said he was from a great family in Yanjing, please let me go."

Lin Hai ignored Luo's pleas and fully injected the agent into his body.

"You're going to die a horrible death... Ah... Ah!"

After a scream, Luo's gaze turned blank, his entire being seemed to be in ecstasy as if greatly enjoying it, but then, his whole body suddenly convulsed violently, his throat emitted unhuman-like growls and screams, and his face twisted hideously as he clawed frantically at his body.

"I was wrong, I won't die well, I shouldn't have lied to you..."

"I'm sorry, don't come haunting me, please no..."

"You're a ghost, not human... Ah!"

Ten minutes later, Luo lay cold on the ground, his expression, before death, one of extreme terror as if he had seen something horrifying.
