Chapter 37: Episode 5.2 Assassin’s Cry

A/N: depiction of brutality read at your own risk

The seasoned killer, known for cold-heartedly bringing an end to the lives of his targets, is frightened for the first time. It was unfathomable even for him.

The omega before him may have a freezing gaze but he was overall an absolute beauty.

What’s there to be afraid?

Gu Jinpeng tried to reason out inside him. He seemed to forget that his cheek was swolen due to the pretty omega in front of him.

"You don’t have to be so fearful to me. I am only angry at the person who looked down on me and, at the same time, schemed something like that when we are still dealing with the bastards who messed up with my son and me," Shen Yuan made his voice gentler, but his unfeeling eyes remained unchanged.

"And you are not that man, right? So it is better to come clean now and tell me, do you know the person who requested to give me a little scare?"

"I promise I will let you go with just the memories of you drowning and our conversation if you cooperate kindly with me. I only go after headshots anyway," Shen Yuan said coolly.

This is the last chance he could give to this paid man.

Gu Jinpeng tried to calm his emotions. The fact that he was kept after being interrogated means that they still needed him for something. He could still buy some time, and once he recovered his mana, it wouldn’t be that hard to get out of these simple restraints on him.

Besides, this Shen Yuan seems like someone soft despite his cold and emotionless facade. It must be a trait trained from someone in the upper class.

Thus, he spoke unhurriedly, "I don’t know. We are forbidden to search about our clients and targets to make sure that the people paying me are anonymous, so how could I know—"

"Hey," The omega’s voice suddenly sounded like a massive hammer of judgment. "Do you think I am all talk because I spoke a lot earlier?"

This time, Shen Yuan looked at the man with fire in his eyes. Something flickered in the omega’s eyes while looking in the direction opposite to them.

Gu Jinpeng had a last minute dreadful feeling. Before he could even catch the glimpse at the direction where the omega looked...

Whoosh. Shen Yuan sent the tied man on the incapacitated alpha male with one kick on the swivel chair.

"Argh!" Gu Jinpeng groaned in pain as his back hit the hard wall of the office.

All he could think of ub the middle of pain was, this omega have unbelievable strength in his thin arms!

Shen Yuan doesn’t care about the man’s thoughts or condition. He decisively headed towards the drum and carried one effortlessly.

Tak. Tak. Tak.

The sounds of his steps coincided with the groans of Gu Jinpeng. All of a sudden, Shen Yuan spoke in a clear but emotionless voice.

"I’ve encountered cretins who are living dangerously like you. No matter the era or societal structure, you guys will grasp everything there is to guarantee your life. You are dubbed as the top assassin for killing influential people. Your stealth power is good, but it’s not like you could continually live in the shadows. So, there must be a different reason that explains why you are still undetected, right?"

"I-If you think you can make me speak by dipping my head in that drum, then think again," the assassin smugly said to Shen Yuan despite being still in pain. "Drowning? Fear of suffocation? I kill people for a living. That’s why I am not afraid of the feeling of dying. And I know that you need information from me, so you can’t really kill me."

Shen Yuan didn’t utter a word; instead, he emptied the drum’s contents on the assassin.

"You are right. Drowning only works on people who are afraid of dying. That’s why I am not going to do that." Shen Yuan smiled as he lowered himself.

"Do you know that the most painful way to die was burning? Some people refute that and say that it was, in fact, drowning because people are most likely to die first from carbon monoxide poisoning during the fire. But what if that poisoning is eliminated? Can you imagine how painful it was to burn all the sensory receptors in the body, eliciting hellish pain throughout the body?"

"Did you drench me so that you could use your power on me?!"

Shen Yuan just responded with a laugh.

"No. But what I am about to do is not that far from what you are expecting," Out of the blue, Shen Yuan punched the wall just beside a man. The concrete cracked, revealing the wiring hidden in the wall.

The assassin alpha male looked down and saw a wall outlet on this side.

This is the reason why this omega sent him flying in this direction!

"I don’t have time to bargain with you. I have a family waiting for me, you see?" Shen Yuan said, beaming. "Don’t worry, I will make sure not to kill you. I will show you what it feels like to have every pain receptor stimulated by electricity. To feel burned without actually burning."

He pulled the live wiring and placed it all the drenched man’s knees away from his fatal part, the heart.

Shen Yuan said it, he will keep Gu Jinpeng alive.

In an instant, the alpha assassin felt the scorching needles of electricity assaulting every bit of his flesh. It was like his entire skin was turned upside down, and he was being cooked from the inside.

No, that isn’t right. Everything about him was aching. His clothes, the water dripping on his skin, the ground, the rope, the chair, all of them are hurting him. It was a pain that he never experienced.

"How was it? Do you feel the regrets washing over you?"

"Arghhhh! You are a demon! Damn it! Ahhh!"

Shen Yuan chuckled. Desensitized at the despairing man in front of him. This is one of the reasons why human entertains him. They will boldly say that they are not afraid, but they cannot conquer the gritting pain that comes with it. Thus, they will thrash around and run away. A perfect example of expressing one’s fear.

He forcefully pulled away the sticking live wires from the man and joked, "Not quite, and you are missing another word to make it somehow fit me."

Shen Yuan was fine interacting with electricity of this level because he could generate thunder with his foxtails. He built up a considerable resistance to it.

"Stop this! Bitch of an omega!"

Hearing that turned the celestial fox spirit’s face dark.

"Now, you are asking for death," following that, Shen Yuan vowed to himself that he would make this alpha as tamed as a golden retriever.

The hair-raising wails dominated the office. It was a cry full of pain that would make other people think of the most grotesque imagination of what was happening in the office.

Su Yifan has witnessed it, and god knows how many times his legs almost gave out because of it.

"As long as it is not Master Shen crying, just stay in your place," he whispered to his own wobbly legs.

The cries lasted for almost a minute, and then they disappeared for less than five minutes as if that short time was meant for resting.

It was a nauseating cycle for Su Yifan and the others, but they were silent about it. They knew that it was the one who was holding the short end of the stick who really had it rough.

Thirty minutes pass, and the man is on the verge of meeting the creator. The assassin has finally waved his white flag of surrender. Well, he did it minutes ago, to be more accurate. It was Shen Yuan who dragged it on until the assassin’s foot was dangling in the underworld.

"Speak."

With his dry and hoarse from all his woeful cries, the man spoke with great difficulty.

"I didn’t place much importance on the request to scare you, so I didn’t dive deeper into the client’s identity, but I managed to get the man’s IP address. It’s in my—"

"Stop talking as if you are going to die," Shen Yuan intercepted the man’s words. "Didn’t I tell you I will let you live? You will still live a long life of suffering. I will make sure of that."

The omega said with finality. His eyes shine with ruthless, and his lips are beautifully arched, revealing an attractive smile.
