Chapter 1213: Temptation
Su Xiao winked at Bubtney and Amu.
They quickly understood what Su Xiao wanted them to do.
Holding the Tributary's head in his hand, Su Xiao slowly moved towards the second undead.
This undead's body was like cheese, but Su Xiao hadn't received a notification earlier that he had killed this creature.
As if realizing that it had been discovered, the undead opened its eyes.
— The undead spat out some blood and tried to stand up, and Amu immediately jumped up and slammed his elbow down.
*Boom!*
A crunch echoed through the courtyard of the residence, and the undead rolled their eyes and lost consciousness.
Su Xiao quickly stepped forward and used the Apostle's Eye to check the undead's condition. After confirming that she was fine, he also found out that her name was Sajia.
Normally, he would just cut her throat, but this wasn't a normal situation.
He needed to find the little princess ' killer within three days. If he didn't complete the side quest, not only would he lose the king's trust, but he would lose his identity.
Most likely, they will simply kill him or send him far away from the capital.
So the life of this undead meant a lot. If he could loosen her tongue, he could complete his task.
Su Xiao motioned for Amu to keep an eye on her and clean up the courtyard.
After throwing the head of the Tributary Bubtni, Su Xiao picked up the severed arm from the ground. It belonged to a Tributary.
After shaking off the dust on her and himself, Su Xiao headed towards the basement.
----
The iron doors creaked open.
Elduo raised her head when she heard that someone had come to see her.
*Pum*
A hand fell to the floor in front of her. It had clearly been chopped off just recently, as it was still leaking blood.
Seeing that hand, Elduo's lips curled. Her opponent was trying to intimidate her with too childish methods. Just recently, she personally killed 99 people, so this hand...
Elduo suddenly froze because she noticed something on that hand.
There was a green cross-shaped scar on this arm. Although it looked like it was an unusual tattoo, in reality, such scars could only be obtained from the thorny vines in the undead territory.
A familiar face appeared in Elduo's mind. Her pupils gradually widened, and she began to carefully examine the hand on the floor, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Ten seconds later, Elduo realized who the hand belonged to, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
— He — " Elduo's lips trembled and tears rolled down his cheeks.
— Don't mourn the living. He's not dead yet, this hand will be my first gift to you, " Su Xiao said as he pulled up a chair and sat down across from Elduo.
Elduo stared at Su Xiao. — What did you do to him?" she asked and tried her best to break out of her shackles, but her attempts to escape were futile.
— He came to save you, so I don't need to state the obvious, " Su Xiao replied, taking out a cigarette and lighting it. — I don't really care if you live or not. The King has given me orders to find the young princess ' killer, or else I will be removed from my position as Iron Hand in three days. Now the choice is yours. I'll only ask you one question, but as soon as I hear the answer is nonsense, I'll bring you a new gift.
This, of course, was a lie. They were enemies both in terms of race and power systems. If Su Xiao had lost today, he would have ended up being the one being interrogated, while Bubtni and Amu would most likely have been killed.
But today, Su Xiao had won, and in this wild world, it was the power to create truth.
Su Xiao's words obviously had the desired effect, for Elduo stared at Su Xiao in silence.
— First of all, you need to understand the current situation. I'm the one who captured you and Dannik, not the royal family. There is a significant difference between us, " Su Xiao said with a gentle smile on his face.
— And what is the difference? All of you are human beings.
— If the royal family were to capture you, you would definitely die. You have a good status among the undead, after all. I don't care about any of this. All I want to know is who planned all this, who exactly was the one who decided to kill the young princess. I only want to know the answer to this question. As for your lives, the Iron Hand residence is different from the kingdom's prison. At any moment, something can happen that will allow you to escape.
— I'll tell you straight out, as soon as you tell me who's behind all this, I'll let you go. I'm not interested in your lives at all, unlike the status of the Iron Hand. Of course, no one will have to know that I let you go. Instead of a banal murder, I prefer to have leverage on the other side.
— Your plan failed and the king is still alive, and the person who decided to kill him will still not be able to escape his punishment, because his plan failed. Why do you want to bring him back to your territory, what's the point? It's best if you hand it over to me, and then I'll spare you, your master, and his assistant, " Su Xiao said as he stood up and walked over to Elduo, then grabbed her chin. — You have a little time to think. No one will know that it was you who gave him away. I'll let you save Dannik and he won't even know that you've told me anything, " Su Xiao's smile softened after saying that, and Elduo's breathing quickened.
— Man, I don't believe you. Even if I die, I will not betray my people.
Because of this answer, Su Xiao pressed down on her chin.
— Believe it or not, I'm going to rip your beautiful face off. According to the aesthetic standards of the undead, no, even according to human standards, you have a good appearance. However, there's no point in waiting, I'll do it right now, " Su Xiao said as he pressed down on her face, causing cracks to appear on her skin and blood to flow out.
Of course, he wasn't going to disfigure her. He only wanted to use the carrot and stick method. First he'd given her the freedom she wanted, and now he wanted to hit her with the whip because of her stubbornness.
