“You… Who are you?” Ayden finally felt fear in his eyes, as he sensed endless coldness emanating from Flynn’s abyss-like gaze.
Within that gaze, it seemed as though countless ghosts and gods were wailing in misery. The chilling aura that radiated from Flynn tore apart the essence of the King of Poison, piece by piece.
“What were you investigating about my mother ten years ago?” Flynn looked at Ayden’s eyes and coldly asked.
“Your mother? Adrianna? Weren’t you sent to Demon Island to perish on your own?!” Ayden exclaimed in shock.
“How did you come out unscathed and obtain such formidable abilities?”
Ayden shook his head in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment.
“I’m the one asking the questions here, or are you questioning me?” Flynn’s gaze turned icy.
Ayden’s eyelids twitched several times, and his composure improved slightly. He suddenly sneered.
“You may not fear my poison, and a single slap could kill a Grandmaster. Impressive! But within the organization where my benefactor resides, there are many who can achieve such feats!”
“I advise you not to inquire about anything regarding Adrianna because everything about her is a taboo that you cannot bear!”
“My benefactor is someone you cannot afford to provoke, and the organization behind them will be your worst nightmare!”
“Enough with the evasive answers and pointless chitchat! It’s annoying!” Flynn’s brows furrowed deeper as he delivered a punch to Ayden’s shoulder.
Boom!
A loud sound of bones breaking reverberated.
Amidst the splattering of blood, Flynn’s punch directly exploded Ayden’s right arm, sending it flying several meters away before it fell to the ground.
“Ah! My arm!” Ayden looked at his gushing severed artery, his face turning pale in an instant, and he let out a terrified scream.
Brady, witnessing this scene, felt his eyes nearly popping out.
He was shocked not only by Flynn’s ferocity and brutality but also by how Ayden, the King of Poison, appeared like a small mouse in Flynn’s hands, only subjected to torture!
This was the King of Poison!
A figure who had taken the lives of over a hundred people, feared by everyone in Ostrad.
With just a blink of an eye, he could poison people.
The Spencer family had expended immense effort and resources, dispatching over a dozen experts overseas to hunt him down, only to end up with a sea of corpses.
Ayden even provocatively sent greeting cards to the Spencer family, accompanied by videos of him slaughtering their experts.
The Spencer family had no means to deal with him.
Such a wicked and evil character had become a plaything in Flynn’s hands, subject to any form of torture he desired!
Flynn found several vials on Ayden’s person, sniffed each one, and picked up one, saying to him, “If I’m not mistaken, this one contains the poison from Huechys sanguinea. Once it enters the body, it attacks the nervous system, increasing pain by tenfold. Every minute and every second feels like a dull knife slicing through flesh, right?”
Ayden’s face changed dramatically, his pupils dilating slightly. “What… What are you planning to do?”
Ignoring him, Flynn continued to ask, “Over the years, you must have killed numerous people with this, right?”
“Even as an assassin, there should be principles. Trash like you, who annihilates families without hesitation and has no boundaries, should experience the agony of the poison!”
After speaking, Flynn grabbed Ayden’s mouth and poured the entire bottle of Huechys sanguinea powder inside.
At first, Ayden resisted, but once his mouth was filled with the powder, he stopped resisting and instead smiled.
“Ever since I killed my first person, I knew I would die someday. You think you can use my death as a threat, but you underestimate me!”
“I’m not afraid of death! I’ll not ask you for the antidote, nor will I tell you anything about what happened back then!”
“As long as I endure half an hour, I will be liberated!”
Flynn shook his head lightly and said, “Those who have grown accustomed to a life of bloodshed, carrying their heads on their belts every day, naturally aren’t afraid of death.”
“But what if I can make this pain last? A day? A month? Or half a year? Can you still laugh?”
As soon as the words fell, Flynn’s silver needle pierced Ayden’s acupuncture point, turned left eleven stops, and then turned right thirteen stops!
“Twenty-Four Heavenly Acupuncture Points?!”
Boom!
Ayden’s brain exploded with a loud noise, and a cold sensation rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, causing goosebumps to erupt all over his body.
Twenty-Four Heavenly Acupuncture Points was a lost needle technique that had been forgotten for hundreds of years!
It could strengthen the heart, invigorate the energy, and clear blockages, with remarkable effects on heart diseases.
But now, using it on Ayden had a different purpose.
The Huechys sanguinea poison took effect within half an hour of ingestion.
Because ordinary people couldn’t bear such pain, they would suffer from heart spasms and die within half an hour.
By using acupuncture to strengthen Ayden’s heart, Flynn intended to make him endure the torment of the Huechys sanguinea powder!
Unable to live, unable to die!
It was at this moment that the poison started to take effect on Ayden.
His nerves began to ache, as if his skin was being peeled off and his muscles were being twisted. His eyes widened in pain, veins bulging on his forehead as he rolled on the ground, screaming in agony.
Trigeminal neuralgia, gout, and the pain of amputation without anesthesia, all combined into Ayden’s current condition.
It was more painful than being in a boiling oil pan in hell or on a mountain of knives.
Ayden couldn’t imagine that he would be tormented like this by the poison he had developed with his own hands.
Even more unimaginable was that his return to the country this time would become a point of no return, leading to his death at the hands of a young man!
Flynn stood by, watching like he was looking at an animal with its limbs broken, not uttering a word, his gaze growing colder and colder.
After a full ten minutes, Ayden weakly spoke, “Fine! I’ll talk! Ten years ago, my benefactor received information that Adrianna appeared in Niarak…”
It turned out that after Ayden’s benefactor learned of Adrianna’s presence in Niarak, they immediately gathered over a hundred Grandmasters.
They cornered Adrianna in a valley in the outskirts, but in the end, she defeated the hundred Grandmasters and escaped with serious injuries.
The benefactor thought Adrianna couldn’t escape the calamity, but she managed to get away, which enraged them.
After investigating in Niarak for a few days, they discovered Adrianna’s hiding place, but by then, Adrianna had already passed away, and her only son had been sent to the Demon Island prison by the Clark family.
They thought the matter had ended there, but the next day, he received a call from the benefactor, instructing Ayden to go to the George family to inquire about something.
The head of the George family, Ezra, refused to reveal anything, so Ayden killed him to silence him and left with the benefactor.
“What was your benefactor asking about at the George family?” Flynn frowned and tossed the antidote for the Marrow Devouring Powder to Brady.
Ayden shook his head and said, “After poisoning, the benefactor asked me to go to the courtyard, but I don’t know what they were looking for.”
“You don’t know?” A cold gleam flashed in Flynn’s eyes as he coldly said, “Are you still not willing to reveal everything?”
“Every word I’ve said is true. I’m not even a mid-level member in the organization, just a lowly errand guy!”
“The benefactor wouldn’t let me get involved in such confidential matters!”
As Ayden spoke, Brady couldn’t help but gasp for breath.
The King of Poison, whose reputation resounded throughout Ostrad, the demon king who killed without blinking an eye.
In terms of martial arts, Grandmasters were as numerous as dragons, each one dominating a region.
In terms of medical skills, only Roman and the Medical Saint Lennon had a chance of surpassing him.
And this kind of person was just a lowly errand guy in the organization?
My goodness! What terrifying existence was this organization?
Furthermore, what was the background of Flynn’s mother? How could such a powerful organization be chasing after her?
The most terrifying thing was that a woman, facing the pursuit of over a hundred Grandmasters, managed to escape!
Brady’s worldview was completely overturned!
