Mercenary's War-Chapter 2141 - 2118: Would It Kill You to Give Me a Hint?

Mario was both angry and disappointed, and he turned around to leave.

Gao Yang was a bit panicked. There was no way not to be; once Mario left, he’d continue to be tortured.

Long, long ago, after witnessing how Yake, Number Thirteen, and the Black Demon conducted interrogations, Gao Yang swore never to let himself be captured. If things looked bad, he’d shoot himself rather than become a prisoner at the mercy of others.

But this time, Gao Yang really underestimated the situation and found himself in trouble. At a banquet, someone held a gun to his head.

If back then Gao Yang had resisted desperately and was shot dead, it would have been a good outcome. Unfortunately, at such moments, people always try to rescue themselves first rather than immediately commit suicide. Thus, Gao Yang inevitably fell into the predicament he never wanted to be in; he was captured and tortured.

Now, if Gao Yang still had a chance, he’d absolutely shoot himself without hesitation. Even without a gun, as long as he could die, he’d do it in any way. But unfortunately, he had no chance left.

So when he saw Mario about to leave, Gao Yang was really a bit panicked because he was genuinely afraid of being tortured until he confessed everything.

Because there were just too many unexposable secrets in Gao Yang’s mind: Grand Ivan’s matters, the nuclear bomb, Morgan’s issues, Satan’s affairs, the Green Terror Organization, the diamond mine, what was done in Somalia, the trades in Ukraine, and so on; he knew too much.

Most importantly, the roots of Satan and his associates, the residences of their families; these things in Gao Yang’s mind were merely things that had happened. But if Mario knew, they would become valuable intelligence that many would want to buy, intelligence worth a lot of money, intelligence that could kill many people.

And the worst part was that Gao Yang truly did not know Justin’s whereabouts, so Fatino would break through from other angles, asking about unrelated things, hoping to glean something significant just by fishing around, which Gao Yang understood all too well. This is why he absolutely couldn’t let himself be tortured into revealing all the secrets.

"Wait! Wait! Don’t go! Mister Cicero, don’t go, you assume I know Justin’s whereabouts, you assume I’m lying, why? Please, give me a hint, will you? Please, just a hint. I’m really baffled because I haven’t lied at all. If you keep asking like this, you’ll never get the real answer you’re after. Let’s be open and honest, just give me a hint, okay?"

Gao Yang was really distressed, so he hoped Mario would give him a hint as to why Mario was so convinced he had ties with Justin.

Mario turned around, stared at Gao Yang, and said coldly, "They say Ram is particularly loyal, and now I believe it. Even at this point, you still want to cover for Justin, don’t you?"

Gao Yang exclaimed urgently, "No, absolutely not, you’ve got it wrong. Look at me; do I look like someone who would keep a secret for a friend? Pah! Justin isn’t even my friend! Brother, give me a chance, give me a hint. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us."

Mario exhaled, stared at Gao Yang, and slowly said, "Justin escaped a long time ago. His luck was good, plus he hid somewhere nobody knows, even his loyal subordinates don’t know. I captured one of them, and after the doctor tortured him for a long time, that guy finally revealed Justin’s whereabouts."

Gao Yang shouted angrily, "If you already know, why ask me? What’s it got to do with me?"

Mario continued calmly, "In our line of work, trust is an extremely precious thing. Justin trusts no one, but Justin trusts you! He once gave you 100 million dollars, which matches what you said. However, Justin’s total assets are only a bit over 120 million US dollars. After his failure and escape, he could only attempt a comeback by retrieving that 100 million dollars or getting your help."

Gao Yang was utterly stunned. Mario went on, "So that person said Justin’s sole contact was you. He saw Justin call you with his own eyes. If there’s anyone in this world who might know Justin’s whereabouts, it’s you."

Gao Yang retorted blankly, "What kind of logic is that? He trusts me? He trusts me yet loses contact with me? I never received any calls from him. Justin just vanished. If I still had contact with him, why would I have to buy intel from you?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Mario was furious and said, "Do you take me for a fool? You try to buy information from me, isn’t that to get close to me and attempt to take me down? Isn’t this exactly the outcome of Justin seeking your help?"

Gao Yang was helpless. By the time Mario truly believed he had no connection with Justin, he’d already been tortured into divulging too many secrets he shouldn’t have.

Mario exhaled and, with a face full of anger, said, "Right now, nobody knows where Justin is. His subordinates only know vaguely that he might be hiding in France or the United Kingdom. Justin once sent you a message, informing you of his location and new contact information, which only he and you know, even his subordinates don’t know. It’s not the number you gave me because that was his old one!"

Gao Yang stood dumbfounded, "Curtis, you rat! Mario! Curtis, you rat!"

Gao Yang was in despair because he couldn’t spin any more lies. Even if he did, they wouldn’t believe him. As long as he couldn’t reveal Justin’s true whereabouts, Mario would inevitably torture him to death. Since that’s the case, he might as well grab a petty advantage and insult as much as he could.

Mario said coldly, "Go ahead and curse. Soon enough, you’ll be crying. While you can still curse, curse to your heart’s content."

Mario turned and left. After angrily yelling at Fatino outside the door for a long time, the door reopened, and Fatino walked in alone.

After closing the door behind him, Fatino shrugged at Gao Yang with a smile and said, "Are you satisfied? I’m very satisfied, because now I can take my time to punish you in the way I like."

All Gao Yang could do was curse, curse Mario, and curse Fatino in front of him, using the harshest insults he knew.

Fatino slowly cut Gao Yang’s clothes with a small knife, from top to bottom, leaving Gao Yang bare.

With nothing left, Gao Yang glared viciously at Fatino and said, "Just wait, I’ll show you what the most painful end in this world truly is. You’re finished, completely finished, pah, pah!"

Gao Yang spat vehemently, and Fatino slowly pierced a needle into Gao Yang’s arm. Amidst Gao Yang’s sudden sharp scream, Fatino smiled and said, "Keep cursing, has the pain silenced you? Don’t stop, please continue, let me see how tough you really are."
