Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 204 201.. His Revenge..
WARNING: Explained details of post-torture condition ahead!
SPLASH
A bucket of cold water was thrown into the darkness, but the person was too used to this and the water directly hit the only person who was inside this hall at the end…
Cough Cough Cough
The spontaneous coughing sounds could be heard from inside the dark hall…
It was reflexive, the water probably got into the target person’s throat.
But it also showed that the person inside was awake.
The man who had just thrown a cold bucket of water walked effortlessly in this dark room and went straight towards the incoming sound source, it was as if, he had night vision!
When the person reached the other side, he tinkered around with something on the side.
CLANG CLANG
PLOP
It was the sound of heavy metallic chains colliding against each other before a heavy body fell on the ground; it could be guessed that a body had probably been suspended in the air and was released from a few constraints just now, for it to fall unhindered on the ground…
Without caring about the condition of the body, the said person went back a few steps before again throwing a bucket of cold water on the body…
“Hey, you! Get up! Boss is waiting for you… Pests like you don’t have rights to make him wait…”, saying this, the said man walked out of the dark hall and then down the corridor to reach a lightly lit area that connected to the elevator to go up…
The man in charge of the underground dark halls was a burly guy with a deep scar running down his right cheek, he looked every bit a villainous lackey!
CLANG ZRRRR CLANG CLANG
It was the sound of chains clashing against each other and being dragged against the ground, even some international criminals were not treated as so… this was inhumane!
Anyway, the reason why it was so dark in here were many; some of them being,
A. without the sense of sight the other senses including the sensitivity towards pain increased a lot and of course,
B. without any light whatsoever when you’ve been living in it from the time of your birth gave rise to despair much faster!
But another reason was that the ones at the top wanted these guards who took care of the sinners without regards.
Since these guards couldn’t see the person being punished and didn’t know them, it was much easier on them to give them punishment akin to torture, this was a measure against the one being ‘punished‘ being someone these guards could be close to, just a day ago… As betrayal knows no name, you see and so as to not affect the state of these guards as they commenced torture, even they were not allowed to ‘see‘… but then again, when no one is watching, one can see the real cruelty that a man can exhibit, they let go of their social facade and bring forth their true hidden nature in such conditions, don’t they?
As for the target being punished, darkness evoked the sense of despair mush faster…
The man who came out of the darkness after the said guard was bare of any clothes except for the underwear on his torso that had turned red from his blood…
There were uncountable wounds over his body…
There was not a single scratch on his face, but below his neck, not a single place has been left untouched.
Some wounds were new with blood seeping out of them while there were others, that had dried up.
There were some ghastly long bruises left from a barbed whip that coiled over many parts of his body and so were some purple rail track-like wounds from being beaten by long batons.
At some parts, a little amount of flesh was hanging down unnaturally showing the reddish muscles under it, as the man was slightly limping with huge purplish patches on his thigh and calves, some of which were swollen towards his ankles…
Though most of his body was covered with a large number of wounds, it was plain to the eye that there were numerous old wounds that had left scars on his body from a time only god knows when…
The pain must be suffocating, but the man couldn’t cry out…nor that he felt the need to; if she was here, he could show his weakness with all his might to get her to care for him a little more, but he would not do the same in front of these people.
He almost let out a scoff because of how he was treated from the moment he was dragged into that car…
Before he accepted the condition, he was aware that something like this was going to happen, but having led a peaceful life for years now, it seems he had not prepared himself as well as he thought.
The darkness was jarring and every few seconds he lost his mind to the abyss and the demons inside, at times, he wanted to make a plea to these people to release him… he was scared, he couldn’t stand this… in the end, he was a human too, you see… but he stopped.
He won’t give these people a leeway this time around; something that they can use against him.
For, whatever they did to him, in the present and in the past, will be returned in manifold… he will get back at them for every single scar he had.
The man looked down at the garish red scars left from the heavy iron shackles that still bound his wrists and ankles and thought how she would have applied some ointments over them with a cute frown on her face, as if, the one suffering was her and felt a sigh of relief… thinking back to every moment that he spend with her, every soft gesture of her that showed, just how much, she cared about him and how much she loved him, he survived through this torture without making a single peep…
Without getting any reaction from the man who was kept awake using some drugs, even the guard got bored towards the end… though the torture didn’t stop, his loss of interest had an effect on it.
He went through all that for this moment, he wanted to see what that man had to say…
That man might still be thinking that he was his pawn and making him go through this will make him remember of the past, the past he wanted to forget so badly… well, he had almost succeeded; he was still not over the past and he was still scared of this abyss like darkness, but that man had miscalculated on something.
In the years he had not cared about his matter, something had changed… he was not alone anymore.
There was still a blinding light lit inside his heart which was because of the existence of a girl, who had become half of his soul and took over his heart… with her presence inside him, he will not lose his current self and fully revert back to his past version.
But, of course, the revenge was still due… the revenge was best served cold and it was time for that now… an evil smirk spread over his chapped lips that made his insanely handsome face that had lost some colour from the blood loss turn into a hideous visage, it was a look he would never show to her… never… because this ‘him‘ was his ‘past‘, a past that he didn’t want her to be a part of.
The water from a while ago ran down his body sending a sizzling pain to his brain but didn’t wash away his wounds, they looked all the more repulsive.
As the water dripping down his hair gave him a devilish charm that was sinful… the pain just boosted his will to get everything straight once and for all…
This time around, he will definitely get over all this.
The guard saw the man who was as tall as him but slightly on the leaner side but with an exceptional built walking towards him with hooded eyes and a devious smirk on his face… for a second, he froze before taking a step back… in his years of experience, this was the first time he met a person like him, this man didn’t curse at first, nor did he plea towards the end… he went through everything without a making single sound, at times he thought that he had fainted, but when he saw those bloodshot eyes that stared at him with undeterred killing intent, he sobered up… this man knew that it was him who did all that to him.. this man was awake throughout that…
Just a single look and he wanted to run away from his sight because of his sheer instinct of danger…
He saw the man finally speak in a deep magnetic tone, ” Take me to him…”, his voice held absolute order that sent a chill down the guard’s spine. Even though he went through all that, his presence hadn’t diminished but actually took a different shade… this person who has been the aloof and cold Business tycoon to the outside world, a gentle child to his family and a pampered prince towards Meilin, finally revealed his past and became the killing machine that killed without feeling anything, his eyes blank, his face stout and his aura oppressively suffocating… this was ‘Mu Xuan‘ of the past before he became ‘Qin ZiXuan‘…. The unfeeling killer.
The guard never thought he would use this word on anyone other than the boss himself, but this man was a MONSTER!
….
….
Not a single person dared to speak… even those who didn’t know much about the business scenario, after the extensive thirty-minute talk from Meilin, kept their mum.
The barrage of messages left in the online platform had also stopped, as if, they wanted to see the person standing at the stage with all her glory… they didn’t want her to be disturbed by their existence… this person deserved such a moment.
Even her colleagues and family members were shocked to speak.
Back in the mansion, it was Qin Mingyu who had a slight frown on his gentle face and spoke out in a confused tone, “What is she thinking…?”
