Arska: Love and Magic

161. Hostages

****

In a dark room there was a man whose legs and hands were tied by a rope and in a seat, his mouth was gagged by a cloth, and through the gap of the window the moonlight shone on the man's body until it could be clearly seen there were moist wounds and blood patches from the mouth of his nose and some of his body, he said, the man's face was like a pig's buttocks so difficult to recognize after the injuries that adorned the face. In view of his condition he is currently unconscious.

" Wake him up!" the cold voice of a man commands a person.

Byurrs

According to the instructions of the man, someone flushed the man tied to a chair with salt-mixed water, so that when the water was exposed to the man's wounds it would feel very painful.

" Arghh.."

" Who are you? Where'sme? Why are you torturing me like this! If the government under the Knight family finds out what you did to me, you will all be exhausted... Just so you know I'm a close relative of the Knight family leader." That person continued to babble and hoped that the people who had captured and tortured him were immediately frightened so as to release themselves upon hearing the name of the famous noble family.

There is no word at all from someone, even though he believes there are many people there even though the lighting looks dim, dimly lit, he also could not tell the face of someone sitting in a chair and was watching him like a predator ready whenever he pounced on him. The condition of the place whose lighting was only dimly lit made the person panic even more.

" You quickly let me go, after this I will consider you innocent and will not report it to the great lord of the Knight."

" Stupid!" 

Only that word sounded in his ears, I don't know who had just spoken.

" You're a close relative of the Knight master?"

" Yes, yes, you must let me go if you want to survive."

" If that wasn't the case that killing you would be better, the Knight's great master wouldn't have found your corpse, so where might he take revenge."

Glug

Hearing the words of the person who kidnapped her the voice sounded like the whisper of a life-replacing demon making the man tremble in fear until he peed in his pants.

" Ck, Ck. was old but still wetting his bed" another voice that sounded scornful was also heard in addition to a voice that more resembled the death demon earlier.

" W-what do you want from me, why did you catch me." He could no longer pretend to be a close relative of the Knight family, from their voice earlier it was obvious that person was not afraid of the Knight family.

Who are they really!

Before her he was expelled from the Knight's residence and decided to return home, but on the way there were some people who kidnapped him.

Does all this have anything to do with that horrible family?

" As one of the residents who owns a small company in country A, in just two years he skyrocketed and was very successful in his business, yet the ability that you have is just mediocre. And with his shamelessness made trouble in other countries and wanted to get protection on the Knight nobles. Sir, what are you really trying to do, are you trying to make two countries hostile just for your trivial matter." There was the voice of a man whose tone was full of scorn.

Sure enough their conjecture was from the Knight family, had they realized something, but it was impossible..

" Tell me what your real purpose is or I'll kill you!"

The man was like he had already realized they were from the Knight nobility so there was no need to hide their purpose in bringing that person here.

" You won't dare kill me, if I-I don't say anything, anyway the information you need is on me."

" hey... You think we don't dare kill you, what a fool..."

The man came forward and strangled the man's neck.

" If you don't tell him it doesn't matter, I'll just kill you. What matters is whether you want to talk or not" 

" I-I'll say it."

His breathing was wheezing, and his face was already turning blue, if the longer the person choked him, then he would soon meet the king of hell right now. it made her frightened and could no longer think clearly, which was in her mind at this time the way she survived despite having to be a traitor though.

" It's better, if you put it this way, maybe I'll bother to dirty my hands."

" J-if I say all of it, you'll have to promise to let me go."

" All right" said a person who was still sitting in his chair calmly, which also showed he was the leader.

" Actually one year ago there was a black-robed person who showed up and gave me a lot of money, then one year later with his help it was also that I managed to grow my business.."

" What's the reward?"

" Oh do you still not want to answer my master's question." he said when he saw the man in Taiwan was silent.

" I-I'll answer her."

" In return for what he gave, that person asked me to create a major conflict between the Knight family and the Lawrence family also finding out information about Lawrence family company, Lawrence family company, at first I planned to take data from the Lawrence family branch company to make it easier, but who would have thought even if only the branch company after twice breaking into the Lawrence family branch company information, Lawrence family branch company, there was someone who sent a virus to my newly built company and within a day all my efforts were instantly destroyed. Back then I had the idea of getting the great lord Knight to help me deal with the matter, as well as for the two countries to come into conflict afterwards. Isn't my idea brilliant, a Knight family so arrogant would definitely not accept if one of its residents was oppressed by another country.." that's what he thought, that's what he thought, but when he went to meet the Knight's great master, the Knight's master was not affected and it also made him very upset.

" No need to go on, tell me who it is?"

" I-I have absolutely no idea who he is, he never shows his face, other than wearing a mask when meeting, the others always discuss him on the phone."

" Your information is enough, get him done quickly."

Hearing the instructions from his master they immediately did his duty and would finish off this person.

" Ahhkkp... No, please let me go."

" Hurt!! Didn't you promise to let me go? You liar."

" Don't I keep my promise, take your life off his body." The voice sounded terrible in his ears.

The man walked out of the room after making sure his men completed their tasks.

" Sir, as you may have guessed, this matter is not as simple as it seems."

The two people who had just exited the shanty building were Aksa and Liam.

" Find out that figure immediately."

" Good sir."

" How dare an outsider want to create trouble in my territory!" Inner Aksa.
