"Useless things!"

Hedrick cursed coldly, the palm that usually held a wine glass or a paintbrush was now holding a long whip with barbs all over it. The long whip swung with Hydrick's arm, causing a dark red trail in the air, adding another scar to Robert's body.

Robert was stripped of his shirt, and chains bound his hands and collarbone, securing him to the wall. This made him unable to move at all, and could only let Hydrick whip him. Robert's body was bloody and bloody, and he didn't know how many times he passed out. But as soon as he was unconscious, a bucket of icy cold water was enough to wake him up, and he returned to this hell again.

The hook-shaped barbs on the long whip were not only covered with blood, but also covered with crumbs of flesh. Every time he came into close contact with Robert's body, these barbs would tear off some flesh from his body. Robert was able to grit his teeth and endure at first, but after 10 minutes, he kept screaming and begging. As for now, he just wanted to die, and die immediately, but it was a pity that Hydrick didn't do what he wanted.

After Robert passed out again, Hydrick threw the whip to one of the guards and said: "I want him to die at this time tomorrow, remember, not a minute less."

The middle-aged guard nodded with a ferocious expression, and then sent someone to get the first aid medicine. Since Hydrick wants Robert to die tomorrow, he can't even think about dying now. In Hydrick's private coffers, several drugs are capable of stimulating a person's life potential. Even if you are on the verge of death, it can be delayed for a day.

Hydrick wiped his palm with a clean handkerchief, where a few drops of blood had splashed on it. After wiping it clean, he threw the handkerchief on the ground, and said to a figure in the shadow, "Come with me, it's time to meet your useless brother."

"Yes, Father." The man came over from the shadows. He had dark green soft hair, soft and delicate facial features, a rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a faint smile on his face. He was still a young man, and he exuded a very clean smell, obviously out of place in this dark cell. During the 45 minutes that Heydrick tortured Robert, the teenager's eyes kept falling on Robert and never shifted.

There was always this gentle smile on his face. So, no matter how friendly the smile looked, it was undoubtedly a devil's smile in the eyes of the guard holding the long whip.

That was Arthur, one of Hydrick's sons. When he walked past the guards, the guards who had done a lot of bloody activities couldn't help but feel a chill. The boy's gaze was like that of some kind of cold-blooded animal.

Kodov looked at the ever-moving lead cloud in the distance, and his mood was as depressed as that cloud.

Since his return, Robert has been taken away. There is no news so far, I am afraid it is more ominous than good. Kodov didn't have time to pay attention to this combat technique instructor, and now he himself was in danger. Heydrick would hold him accountable, there was no doubt about it. Kodov even thought about escaping, but he dismissed the idea after seeing a few more tenth-level guards outside the door.

Although the guards said that Hydrick had sent him to protect him, Kodov would not know that this was not protection but surveillance.

Without knocking on the door, and without giving Kodov any time to prepare, Hydrick just

Why push the door in. When Kodov saw him, he hurriedly bowed to greet him. When he saw a slender and gentle boy standing behind Hydrick, Kodov almost squeezed out two words: "Arthur!"

No one knows better than him that his seemingly gentle and docile brother is actually more sinister and vicious than anyone else. Kodov still remembered that on his birthday one year, his brother gave him a poisonous scorpion as a gift, causing him to almost be stung to death by the scorpion. Afterwards, Arthur could still pretend to be innocent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Hedrick has not spoken since he entered the door. He walked to the window and looked out of the window with his hands behind his back. Arthur smiled calmly, closed the door gently, and found a chair to sit down. Like a good student, he put a copy of "Politics and Philosophy" on his feet, then turned the pages of the book with gentle movements, and began to read the book in the room.

The atmosphere seemed very strange.

Cold sweat broke out on Kodov's forehead, he didn't know what Hydrick meant. At this moment, he finally couldn't figure out his father's intentions. The only sound in the room was the sound of Arthur turning the pages of the book, and the rustling sound kept lingering in Kodov's ears. It was obviously just a soft sound, but now it fell in Kodov's ears, but it became louder and louder. By the end, Kodov was on the verge of growling, trying to get Arthur to close the damn book.

Hedrick finally spoke: "It's almost winter."

"Yes, father." Kodov didn't know how to answer, so he could only speak indiscriminately.

Hedrick didn't look back, and continued: "In a few months, this year will come to an end. Kodov, you will be one year older."

"When I was your age, I already went to Outland. I have to say, Kodov, you waste too much time on family affairs." Hydrick turned around, his eyes were as cold as winter The wind and snow flew over Kodov: "You are cautious and careful, these are your strengths. But do you know what your weaknesses are?"

"Ask your father to teach you?" Kodov lowered his head and said.

"That's being smart!" Hedrick shook his head and said, "I told you to do it beautifully without leaving any traces. But look at what you have done. It's amazing, Kodov, you actually found a A level 18 killer will work for you. But in the end, that person died, and Alan is still alive. The problem is, you actually found a bloody hand, and you actually found a surface killer!"

Kodov wiped his cold sweat, his body was trembling, he had no idea what was wrong with him.

"Didn't you investigate before hiring him? This damn bloody hand hasn't been entrusted for many years. Do you know what this means?" Hedrick snorted coldly: "It means his experience , technique, and even the intuition of being a killer has regressed. Even if he still has the source power of level 18, he can’t give full play to his due advantages. Forget about these, he actually runs a company, don’t you know, Will this leave much room for you?"

"Blood Hand's goal is too obvious, my dear son. It is so obvious that Blood Scorpion can reveal all his old background with just a move of a finger. Then Anna can find Blood Hand's manager, and then follow this line Touch down, so I don’t need to tell you the result, do I?”

Kodov immediately raised his head and said: "That woman can't find out

, I have made Bloody Hand's agent disappear. "

"Disappear?" Hydrick shook his head and sneered: "Why do I have such a stupid son like you? What's the use of letting the bloody hand's manager disappear, the goal of the bloody hand itself is too obvious, people like him , Do you think you can cover up your whereabouts? Anna doesn't even need to check the bloody hand's manager, she can find the clues she wants through the bloody hand's recent activities and other relevant details."

"Also, last time you didn't handle the black street affairs cleanly, the reason is that Anna has been eyeing my private account!"

Kodov finally couldn't bear the pressure, he knelt down with a plop and said, "Father, what should I do?"

"This question should be answered by you." Heydrick lowered his head, looked directly into his son's eyes and said, "Your grandfather has sent a notice that the elders meeting will be held in three days. Kodov, you know Does that mean anything?"

"This means that he may have the exact evidence in his hands. Damn it, you also involved me! I think I have warned you earlier, don't let my name be associated with a series of things you have done together?"

Kodov hugged Heydrick's feet suddenly and said, "Father, please, please save me. You can discuss it with grandpa. Look, Alan is not dead, and the matter has not reached the point of no return."

With a snap, Arthur closed the book, smiled and said, "You are right, Brother Kodov. Alan is not dead yet, but you go and put our team in an extremely embarrassing position. Please also think about your father's situation, grandpa has always criticized us a little bit. Now because of your matter, father will attract grandpa's anger."

"Shut up!" Kodov finally couldn't help roaring: "You bastard born of a bitch, I'm talking to my father, how can you interrupt!"

At the end of the sentence, Hedrick had already slapped him on the face. Kodov flew upside down, crushing a table, and five huge fingerprints appeared on his face. He covered his face and looked at his father in horror. Hedrick sighed: "It's a pity, Kodov, Arthur is right this time. You have indeed implicated me, and even our team. But it's okay, as you said, things are still going on." Not to the point of being irreparable. Of course, there will be a little sacrifice involved."

He walked up to Kodov, knelt down, and whispered in Kodov's ear. Then he stood up and gave Arthur a wink, and the two father and son left the room just like that. They came out, and their guards closed the door behind them. Suddenly, Kodov shouted from the door: "Father, I am also your son, why are you so cruel to me!"

Hydrick smiled lightly and left with his hands behind his back. After walking for a while, he said: "You can see clearly, Arthur. Kodov made mistakes, and I hope you don't make the same mistakes again."

"I know, father."

"Then tell me, what will you do with Allen next?"

"I will try my best to be his friend and brother." Arthur narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently: "The closest kind!"

Hydrick nodded, and said happily: "On this point, you are much better than Kodov."

Last week, the Internet was broken and the egg was broken, but fortunately it was resurrected.
