Chapter 163: Chapter 162 Hoarding Without Selling

West District of Celestial Sea City, Triumph Anthem Bar, in the top-secret basement.

The dim yellow lights cast a glow on the walls, where many patches of white have fallen off, revealing the cement. Mice squeaked, their sounds mingling with cockroaches, and both ran shamelessly across the blood-stained floor.

In the center of the basement stood a two-meter-high wooden post.

Three men were tied to the post with a thick rope, their voices faintly wailing. Blood flowed from their heads to their shoulders before dripping to the ground, making the already filthy basement appear even more sinister.

"Boss, right here." Ye Bingning led Ye Huan to the entrance of the basement.

"Is there something on my face?" Ye Huan touched his face, thinking he shouldn’t have any of Zhang Huimin’s lipstick left.

After leaving Zhang Huimin’s house, his first stop was the Triumph Anthem Bar.

Upon seeing Ye Bingning, he noticed her gaze was strange, still the same even now.

"Oh, nothing." Ye Bingning denied it, shaking her head. But inside, she was full of doubts.

The boss just had a few hickeys on his neck, what’s strange about that? Given his overseas antics, a neck without hickeys would be strange!

With that thought, she no longer felt anything was odd.

She hadn’t thought that not mentioning it would bring so much trouble for Brother Huan later!

Afterward, Ye Bingning instructed the basement guards to open the door and led Ye Huan inside.

Witnessing the dismal state of the three, Ye Huan couldn’t help but frown: "I didn’t tell you to act, did I?"

"These three were unruly, tried to escape, so the guards ’gave them a slight lesson’," Ye Bingning explained indifferently.

"Don’t do that anymore; fighting and killing are bad. We should win people over with virtue, understand?" Ye Huan said seriously.

The largest among the three was Golden Saber.

Upon hearing the phrase "win people over with virtue," Golden Saber, despite being in a state of confusion, coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Okay, okay, got it." Ye Bingning muttered, then snapped her fingers.

Two guards holding buckets full of water poured them over the heads of the three.

The cold water sharply stimulated their wounds, and the three cried out miserably as they woke from their stupor.

Golden Saber shivered violently, swallowed, and slowly raised his head.

Where was there any trace of his former "might"? His already short hair was sullied with all kinds of filth, making him look like a "human trash can."

Upon seeing Ye Huan clearly, he burst into rage: "Kid, you... you dare to kidnap..."

"Smack!"

Before the word "me" was said, Ye Bingning slapped him coldly.

"You all..." Golden Saber growled, struggling a couple of times.

In more than forty years of life, he had never suffered such humiliation!

Seeing his defiant face, Ye Bingning was about to slap him again when Ye Huan caught her hand, shaking his head slowly.

"If you have the guts, you... don’t let me out, if I get out, I’ll... I’ll kill all of you!"

"Dare... dare to treat me like this, really... really not afraid of death!"

"..."

Golden Saber’s curses lasted for ten minutes.

After ten minutes, he could no longer speak, his throat dry as smoke.

"Want a drink?" Ye Huan asked.

"If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and bring it!"

Golden Saber seemed to forget he was in a "captured" state, arrogantly ordering Ye Huan.

Ye Huan remained expressionless, leaving the basement with Ye Bingning.

Two Silver Bay thugs, holding Wolf Fang Clubs, replaced them.

Soon, the basement echoed with miserable cries, probably more so than when Golden Saber’s parents passed away.

Back in the basement, Ye Huan circled Golden Saber playfully a few times, then tutted with surprise: "Alas, the renowned Golden Saber, Lord Saber, reduced to such a state, truly lamentable~"

"Kid, you... don’t get too cocky!"

"If you have the guts, you... untie me, I’ll slap you to... to death!"

Golden Saber hung his head, covered in blood, yet still struggling violently.

For a moment, the rope binding him seemed to loosen.

Ye Huan’s mouth curled into a mocking smile: "Slap me to death? Did you forget how you ended up last time after my slap?"

Golden Saber paused, recalling how Ye Huan shattered a machete with three fingers and delivered a fierce slap. He shivered all over, fear flooding his eyes.

He was well aware of his strength; in Celestial Sea, fewer than ten could withstand a slap without being slapped to death!

This young man suddenly appearing had such power, not only surviving the slap but reducing him to half-dead.

Absurd!

Golden Saber spat out blood, his voice weak: "You tied... tied me up, surely for a reason. Just... just say it than."

"Naturally, my purpose for bringing you here is to ask. Why did you have Blonde Hair bulk purchase Ecstasy Skin Cream?" Ye Huan got straight to the point, recalling the key figure Blonde Hair had pointed out — Golden Saber.

Blonde Hair? Bulk purchase Ecstasy Cream?

Golden Saber’s eyes flickered, his mind racing.

Blonde Hair must have said things he shouldn’t have, and Ye Huan knew about these matters, could it be...

"No need to think, Blonde Hair is in the slammer courtesy of me." Ye Huan bit down on a toothpick. "I don’t have time to waste with you; quickly spill your young master’s schemes."

"You..." Golden Saber gritted his teeth, stubbornly, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"I told you, I don’t want to waste time chattering."

"Speak now and you’ll avoid some flesh suffering, believe me..." Ye Huan’s mouth curled, the white tooth reflecting a chilling gleam, "I have ten thousand ways to make you talk..."

Golden Saber shivered suddenly, yet defiantly turned his head aside.

The implication was clear: I don’t believe it!

Ye Huan couldn’t help but chuckle.

Been in Huaxia this long, never interrogated anyone...

Beside him, Ye Bingning saw Ye Huan’s hand reach into his pocket, her mouth twitching as she hurriedly left with the goons.

Ye Huan’s interrogation methods were ruthless, she’d witnessed them abroad numerous times!

That level of torture, one could say...

No one could withstand it!

In just three minutes, Ye Huan, toothpick between his teeth, exited the basement, waving a hand, "In half an hour, remove all toothpicks from him, keep an eye on him, don’t let him die, I have further use for him next time."

"You heard, guard strictly!" Ye Bingning also waved her hand.

The goons nodded, curious to glance inside the basement once the pair left, promptly vomiting their dinner and snacks.

Golden Saber’s entire body was pierced with toothpicks, resembling a porcupine. Blood dripped from the ends where toothpicks entered to the tips on the outside, dropping steadily to the ground.

He roared loudly, yet with his throat full of toothpicks, his roar couldn’t be transmitted into the air. His crotch was soaked completely, a nauseating stench emanating from it.

His features twisted due to immense pain, blood and black bile perpetually poured from his mouth, making him appear incredibly sinister...

...

Approaching midnight, Ye Huan declined Ye Bingning’s invitation for a drink and instead urged her to head home early for rest, then hailed a taxi to return to Penglai Lakefront.

In the car, he rubbed his chin, a playful look on his face.

Bulk buying Ecstasy and hoarding without selling?

Hoarding without selling was a term Golden Saber confessed during Brother Huan’s interrogation.

At his level, he could only access this layer.

But once aware of this four-word intel, Ye Huan, with a bit of thinking, unraveled White Impermanence’s sly intentions.

"Crack."

Broke the toothpick, tossed it outside the car window. A huge "counter-surrounding web" formed in his mind.

Ye Huan rolled down the window, gazing into the night sky, muttering:

"White Impermanence, if you opt to play dirty, blame not my heartless hands..."
