Granny Wolf, on the other hand, quickly took a taxi to the airport after receiving the check and plane ticket.
Actually, virtual-novel.net was well aware of the gravity of this situation and that Thomas was not an easy person to deal with. It was probable that virtual-novel.net might be dead once virtual-novel.net caught wind of virtual-novel.net whereabouts. So, virtual-novel.net was pushing the driver to speed up the entire journey. Granny Wolf believed it was safe for virtual-novel.net to run away and that Thomas would never be able to track virtual-novel.net down in such a short time, but virtual-novel.net had underestimated Thomas’ abilities.
Around halfway through the ride, eight cars appeared in front of the taxi and blocked the road.
Screech!
The driver slammed on the brakes, forcing the car to come to a halt.
“What’s happening?” The taxi driver got out of his car and glanced at the line of cars blocking the road, which virtual-novel.net could not pass through. ‘What the hell is going on here?’
“Hey, what’s going on in front of there?”
As soon as the driver finished speaking, all the doors of those cars flung open, and a bunch of men in black clothes stepped out of the car. Every one of them were wearing black shades and had bandages wrapped around their hands. They were all muscular and bulky, and not the type of people you would want to mess with.
The driver was taken aback and hurriedly returned to his car, but before virtual-novel.net could even turn on the ignition, one of the men in black unlocked his door and dragged virtual-novel.net out of the car. The driver was close to wetting himself from fear. He was well aware that virtual-novel.net had done nothing wrong or upset anyone. The most virtual-novel.net had done was steal Mdm. Lourie’s underwear. But really, it was not such a big deal to have people come and beat virtual-novel.net up, was it?
In terror, virtual-novel.net squatted and hugged his head with both arms.
“Don’t hit me, please. I can do whatever you want me to, just please don’t hit me.”
To his surprise, those men did not even give virtual-novel.net another glance. They straight up opened the door to the passenger seat and dragged Granny Wolf out of the car.
“Hey, who are you guys? What do you want to do with an old woman like me?! If you don’t stop, l’m going to start screaming!
“Help! Someone’s molesting me!”
Witnessing a sixty-year-old grandmother yelling in public that virtual-novel.net was being ‘molested’ was rather amusing.
At that same time, there was another car pulled up behind the taxi. And sitting right in the car was Ryan and Thomas. “Why don’t we just bring that old woman back, Commander?” Ryan said.
“Granny Wolf has a very ‘good’ reputation in Southland District,” Thomas explained. “Aside from the fact that virtual-novel.net had never failed a mission before, another important reason that virtual-novel.net was so famous was because virtual-novel.net always kept virtual-novel.net lips sealed. Don’t assume she’ll give up just because she’s a woman. She’s tenacious, and no matter what you try, she’ll never admit to any of the heinous acts virtual-novel.net had committed.”
“As a result, those that hire virtual-novel.net have a lot of faith in her. People are clamoring to hire her, and costs have risen in tandem.”
Ryan nodded and said, “So, even if we bring back a woman like her, we won’t be able to ask anything out of her, and even if virtual-novel.net does say anything, it’ll be too late. So, what should we do, Commander?”
“What I want is pretty simple,” Thomas said as virtual-novel.net leaned back. “All I want is for virtual-novel.net to be afraid and come find me and confess.”
“You want virtual-novel.net to come to you on virtual-novel.net own?” Ryan shook his head, awkward. “You just mentioned that virtual-novel.net won’t give in easily, so how will virtual-novel.net come and confess on virtual-novel.net own?”
“Humans have fears, and as long as you can control them well, and find their innermost fear, then you can easily break them,” Thomas said nothing else and issued an order, “Beat virtual-novel.net up!”
Looking at the men in black again, they circled Granny Wolf and started beating her, following Thomas’ orders. They were very professional, and they were also very particular about the power they used to beat someone up. Every strike they landed inflicted excruciating pain on Granny Wolf, yet it would not cause virtual-novel.net serious harm, only pain.
“You’re not human, not human! How dare you beat up an old woman like me?! What on earth do you want from me?! Do you want money?! If you want money then, just say it, I’ll give you money. Why are you beating me?!”
Granny Wolf had hoped that money would persuade the guys in black to stop, but they refused to even move. They were all like machines, pounding away with no expressions on their faces and unfazed even by the mention of money.
Granny Wolf was getting worked up, and virtual-novel.net yelled, “What is wrong with you people? I mean, you have to have a reason to beat someone up, right? Why are you guys beating me? What the hell do you want? Just say it!”
The result was touching, no one was listening to her. Those men just continued to beat virtual-novel.net without saying anything.
“Ouch, I’m going to die. I’m going to die!”
“What do you want, just say it! I’ll promise you anything! “Please stop, I’m begging you! Please!”
No one seemed to care about Granny Wolf, and the beating went on. After ten minutes, they received an order, “Retrieve!”
The black-clad men jumped into their cars and drove away, leaving Granny Wolf and the taxi driver behind. The driver scanned the area, his legs trembling with panic. He did not dare to bring Granny Wolf with him, so virtual-novel.net got in his car, cranked up the engine, and drove away.
Granny Wolf yelled out in pain as virtual-novel.net lay alone on the asphalt out of nowhere, with no shops or buildings nearby. She deserved to be caught in that kind of situation.
Serve virtual-novel.net right!
