Chapter 64: Greedy heart

Kadis put the dagger against Hong Lifeng's neck and slowly increased the force. Blood had already seeped out from the tip of the dagger. If it went a little deeper, it would cut his artery.

Hong Lifeng desperately tilted his head back to avoid the tip of the dagger, but he was already against the wall of the room, with nowhere to retreat. Whether it was because of nervousness or fear, or both, Hong Lifeng's body was shaking and his muscles were trembling. Every breath he took would draw more blood from the wound. Zhang Hong felt his neck hurt involuntarily, as if the dagger had cut into his flesh.

Kadis slid the dagger lightly, cutting a small cut. Blood slowly flowed down. He touched it lightly with his finger and licked the tip of his finger with his tongue. "Such a pure bloodline, without those messy things."

He tapped Hong Lifeng's pale cheek with his dagger and grinned, "This young man is quite strong. His blood is enough for me to drink for a few days."

"Boss, that one shouldn't be bad either. I see they all have black hair and black eyes, no scales and no horns, they should all be of pure human blood."

Caddis left Hong Lifeng, whose neck was still bleeding, and walked to Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong twisted his body desperately, making miserable and strange noises in his throat, and tried to squeeze into the corner. Caddis approached slowly, and Zhang Hong huddled in the corner and shook like a sieve. Soon the ground was wet and a smell of urine filled the air.

"This guy is a dirty, disgusting coward. On the way here, he vomited on my pants." Awan said disdainfully, "I heard that if you drink the blood of a coward, you will become less courageous."

Kadis glanced at Awan, and Awan immediately shut up. He stood up straight and smiled sinisterly, "Fool, I am a blood knight who practices blood fighting spirit. No one knows blood better than me. Blood filled with fear has a special bitter taste, just like the tea that those pretentious priests like to taste. Bitterness is a taste that makes people full of fighting spirit. Bitter blood with sweetness is the best. Someone once said: 'Life is a glass of bitter and sweet water mixed together. All we can do is add more sugar in it.'"

"Boss, the person who said that must be a fool. Awan knows best what life is. Isn't it just about living? How can there be bitterness or sweetness? Isn't life just about killing adults and making villains? When I, Awan, was doing these things, I was happy..." Before Awan could finish his words, he was kicked by Orvel.

Kadis swung his hand back, and a flash of blood-red light flew past Awan's scalp, cutting off half of his hair, and then slashed at the prison door behind him. The invisible and intangible light actually cut off nearly half of the prison door's fence. The wood on the cross section of the fence made a sizzling sound, bubbling and bleeding, and a large section was corroded. The same thing happened to Awan's hair. His hair melted quickly, and the red blood stained his scalp, causing him to scream in pain. He quickly poured half a bucket of water from his head to prevent his scalp from being burned.

Kadis said in a high voice, filled with restlessness and enthusiasm: "If I hear such talk again, there will be no next time. ... When she said this, it was as if she saw my past and future. I don't allow anyone to oppose her, not even the thought of it! You maggots crawling on the ground."

Awan and Orvel immediately fell silent, and Zhang Hong was even more stunned. This was definitely an unimaginable supernatural power, just like the supernatural power in the movie. Zhang Hong did not have the opportunity to see Xiao Chen or Morey perform magic. He had only heard about the so-called magic and fighting spirit in conference reports, but he did not expect that when he really faced this kind of power, they would appear so terrifying. What was even more tragic was that the one who possessed this power was an enemy, a crazy and bloodthirsty enemy.

"Okay, I just need one person to explain your origins. The one who speaks first will have a chance to survive. The one who speaks slower will give me all your blood." Kadis played with the dagger and glanced at the two people in front of him.

When Zhang Hong heard the word "live", he suddenly became alert. He glanced at Kadis. Both the sharp dagger and the scary hand made him shudder. He immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Hong Lifeng. Hong Lifeng's neck was already red. When he saw Zhang Hong looking at him, he bit his lips tightly, shook his head with difficulty, and said sternly in Chinese: "Don't say it, you will die if you say it."

"If you have something to say, you can only say it to me." Cadiz swung the dagger in front of him. No one could see his movements, and a bloody wound appeared on Hong Lifeng's chest. He screamed in a more miserable voice than before.

Zhang Hong looked at Kadis who was staring at him with a smile, then looked at Awan and Orvel who were eyeing him covetously, and felt miserable: Only one can survive, only one can survive, brother, your neck is almost broken, so just let me live.

He cried out: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Spare my life!"

"Asshole! Ah! Damn you asshole! Don't say it, you'll kill everyone." Hong Lifeng yelled. Cadiz sneered and kicked him in the abdomen, causing him to bend over and fall to the ground with his head on the ground. He could no longer speak and could only make painful hoarse sounds.

Once a person's mental defenses are breached, there is nothing left to resist external will. Similarly, once a person's bottom line is abandoned, there is nothing he cannot do.

Zhang Hong's defense was not strong to begin with, and it was like paper in front of Cadiz's violence. Soon, he explained his whole story clearly. He told his experience in detail from the beginning of his journey through time.

Zhang Hong didn't dare to look at Kadis and didn't notice at all that the expressions of these three people were becoming more and more strange.

"Boss, this kid is determined to deceive us. He is clearly playing us for fools. What, some other world, time travel. I, I don't understand at all." Awan whispered in Kadis's ear.

"I think so too. This guy definitely doesn't want to tell the truth and hopes to fool us with fabricated things. We have asked around, and it is clearly a magician's castle, and everyone has seen the magician use spells. But he is here saying there are no magicians, only a world of machines. Also, what science, what physics, what nonsense is this?" Orville also echoed.

Kadis nodded and said, "I thought this weakling would confess everything since he even peed his pants. I didn't expect him to play tricks. Awan, go and help him loosen up his muscles."

Zhang Hong was talking about the conflict between him and Xiao Chen and the others, and how he was sent to the station in Frollo Town. Unexpectedly, the tall Awan rushed up and slapped him twice, making him dizzy. Then he punched him again, making Zhang Hong cry and scream, and collapsed on the ground.

Kadis walked up to him, stepped on one of his hands, and used a dagger to pry and pry. Finally, he cut off the nail of Zhang Hong's left thumb.

"Ah!" Zhang Hong screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "My, my hand."

Cadiz stepped on Zhang Hong's thumb hard and crushed it, and Zhang Hong fainted from the pain.

He grabbed Zhang Hong's hair, twisted his head back, slapped him hard several times to wake him up, grinned and said, "Look at me, open your eyes and look at me!"

Zhang Hong's face had become swollen. His originally thin face was now as fat as an eggplant. He opened his eyes and saw the expression on Cadiz's face. He shivered and tears and snot flowed down like rain.

Kadis said slowly, word by word: "This is just a small lesson. Now start from the beginning. If you tell me a lie again, I will first pick off every nail of yours, and then chop off all your fingers. Then you can only use your toes to pick up things."

Zhang Hong was completely confused. He didn't understand why they didn't believe him even though he had told the truth. This was all true. It couldn't be truer. He secretly glanced at Hong Lifeng, who was covered in blood but in better spirits. He stopped shouting and looked at him with a gloating look.

Zhang Hong lay on the ground and sobbed for a while. He thought carefully about the unified statement made up by the school and stammered, "I, I am guilty. I didn't tell the truth. The truth is... my master is a magician from the Western Continent. He and his companions failed in the teleportation magic and dropped... half of the castle here."

Kadis and Orville looked at each other and nodded. This was something they could understand, and it was also the same information they had heard from other channels.

"So, how many magicians are there? How strong are they?"

Zhang Hong was in a dilemma. How many numbers should he say? He closed his eyes and made up a story: "There are five magicians. I am just a housekeeper in charge of the business. I don't know how strong they are. I really don't know..."

"Five magicians? This is not easy to deal with." Awan frowned and said, "Boss, if our people face five well-prepared magicians, we will be in trouble. Maybe all of our people will die without hurting them."

"It's normal that this idiot doesn't know the magician's background. Those guys are always mysterious. No one knows what their cards are except themselves." Orville said.

"So, are there many treasures in the castle?" Kadis asked again.

"I'm not sure about this. Maybe there are some." Zhang Hong said uncertainly.

"How many guards are there? Also, how many of these alchemical items are there?" Kadis asked, pointing at the gun in Orville's hand.

"There are probably about a hundred guards, right? The one I know has about 20 to 30 guns." Zhang Hong glanced at Cadiz and whispered, "If you fight them head-on, the losses will be heavy. Why not let them ransom me back?"

"Oh?" Cadiz glanced at Hong Lifeng at the foot of the wall and said with a smile, "You're the only one I'm redeeming?"

"You, didn't you say you wanted to drink his blood?"

"Hmph." Cadiz sneered and ignored Zhang Hong. Instead, he held his chin and began to think. After a while, he said to Orvel, "Gather some people to send a message to the surrounding leaders, asking them to bring their brothers to me. Now there is a big business, enough for everyone to make a fortune together! I can't forget them at this time."
