Thump!
The driver's heart lurched.
He never thought that the other man would know about him being a Dullioud.
It seems like he's no ordinary man. This is bad. Still, it doesn't matter. My death means nothing.
Hence, the driver denied, “I don't know what you're talking about.”
As Zeke suppressed his anger, he asked, “Where's Dullioud's base?”
The driver remained stubborn. “I don't know.”
Ha.
By then, Zeke's patience had run out. “Very well. It's been a while since I've encountered someone so pig-headed and brave enough to provoke me.”
The driver huffed. “Kill me if you want to and stop with the rubbish talk. A Dullioud doesn't bow to power and doesn't fear death!”
Zeke sneered. “You're overthinking this. Death is much too easy a way out for you.”
Sole Wolf then asked, “Zeke, do you want me to look for a few large men to deal with him?”
Zeke waved his hands in dismissal. “There's no need to. I have a plan of my own.”
What Zeke did instead was use his energy to manifest Ammo Needle.
In the next second, one of the silver needles stabbed into one of his nerve acupoints.
The driver hissed in pain, but still, he stubbornly said, “Hmph! This is nothing to me. Is this all you have? If that's all you have, I have to say that you're absolutely underwhelming.”
Nevertheless, Zeke remained calm and collected as he manifested another silver needle.
“D*mn it!” the driver cursed, a shudder wracking his body as a pang of pain traveled through him.
This is too f*cking painful. It's just a silver needle, but why does it feel as painful as him piercing my heart?
Zeke did not give him any time to rest as he inserted one needle after another into the driver's body.
Every time a silver needle pierced him, the driver's pain increased by a level.
Frankly, by the fourth needle, the driver could no longer withstand the pain. He kept mumbling under his breath, “A warrior's honor is more important than his life.”
Unfortunately for him, Zeke would not heed his words as he stabbed in another six silver needles at once.
By then, the driver was at the limit of his pain tolerance. The pain he was feeling was as intense as the pain a woman would have during her labor.
The driver was breaking down mentally. He was sure that, one more silver needle, and he would die from the pain.
Hence, he quickly pleaded, “Spare me... Spare me! I'll work with you... I'll tell you everything...”
However, Sole Wolf uttered, “Where is your respect?”
The driver swiftly said, “Sir, sir!”
Sole Wolf then said, “Not enough.”
“My Lord, My Lord!”
Sole Wolf frowned. “F*ck, I thought Dulliouds would have a better spine than this. They're just as cowardly as the next person.”
The driver nearly cried at his words, thinking, It's not that we're spineless, but that this guy's too insane!
He, too, was a man who had experienced violence and bloodbaths. Yet, he felt that the shots he had taken did not hurt as much as one silver needle from Zeke.
What the hell is that needle made of?
Zeke then snapped, “Speak. Where is Dullioud's base?”
All of a sudden, the driver gritted his teeth, about to bite his tongue and end his life.
After all, a Dullioud would rather die than submit and be humiliated.
Therefore, he decided to end his life to prove his loyalty.
However, that was a move Sole Wolf predicted. Right as he was about to bite his tongue, Sole Wolf stomped on him and dislocated his lower jaw.
At the same time, he fished out his dagger and shoved it into the driver's mouth before swirling the knife around the latter's mouth.
Sole Wolf shaved off the driver's teeth and gum.
In the blink of an eye, the driver's mouth turned into a bloody sight as warm blood rushed outward.
“Argh!”
As the driver howled in agony, he tossed and turned on the ground.
Zeke then took out his silver needles again. “Are you not going to speak yet? It seems like my silver needle hasn't done enough damage to you.”
“I'll say it! I'll say it!” The driver nearly lost his mind at the re-emergence of the silver needle, and he quickly pleaded for mercy. “They're at Durbaine! The base is at the small village Durbaine.”
Zeke knitted his brows. “The small village of Durbaine? How can a massive organization like Dullioud be located in a tiny village like Durbaine?”
The driver quickly explained, “It's just a small temporary base that Dullioud set up. It's meant to be a convenient location for this assassination mission. I don't know where Dullioud's headquarters is. I'm only an unimportant member of Dullioud. This is all I know. Sir, please let me go!”
