The men in black did not give the man a chance to catch his breath. Instead, they kept pouring the buckets of water one after another. The man tried hard to hold out, but gradually he was unable to bear it. Different from any other punishment directly imposed on human body, this one tormented not only the body but also the will, as if you were drowning in the water, waiting for death slowly.
A variety of excruciating means to torture were applied to the man one after the other in front of his fellows. They were originally willing to face death calmly, but seeing what was happening, fear gradually grew in their eyes. They had received a lot of training for these kinds of situations, but they had never seen a fellow struggling hopelessly on the edge of death like this. They were shocked by such a scene, upon seeing which their decision to stand firm slowly faded away.
Without changing countenance, Brian looked at all this coldly. The man who had been tortured became less stubborn and agreed to cooperate. However, Brian still did not say a word, which of course meant that the men in black continued unless he ordered otherwise.
Aaron's eyes slightly twitched by accident while watching the scene before him. He had seen many cruel and ruthless people, and he, himself, admittedly, was one of them. But he was afraid that there might not be many people in the world who could keep calm while seeing people were tortured at the gate of hell like this. Looking at Brian, he thought secretly, 'Some of FBI's means of torture which were supposed to be confidential are known by some outsiders, but it seems that nobody could know more of it than Brian. Is this man just the boss behind Grand Night Casino and Emp?'
"Please... I beg you... I...I...I... I'll tell you ..."
It sounded the man was at his last breath, gasping desperately, but his strong desire for survival was apparent. What kind of torture was this? The man who had wished to die was now begging to live.
"Unfortunately, I'm not interested anymore." Brian said in a low voice. He stood up slowly and said, "You've wasted too much of my time!"
He glanced around sneeringly with cold light flashing from his eyes. As he turned around, one of the men in black opened the door for him. He strode out, followed by Aaron, without any hint of expression on his face. These men were not valuable to them after all, so whatever happened to them, was not something he would care about.
"How are you going to settle this incident?" asked Aaron.
Brian stopped his footsteps and looked ahead. The morning sun was bright and big in the sky, providing a beautiful colorful dress for the clouds. The gorgeous color gave out a warm light, while his heart was filled with coldness.
"The Long Family's position shouldn't be shaken by anyone." After saying that, Brian took a step and left.
"Your highness!" Ken said to Aaron seeing Brian leaving, "Isn't Mr. Brian Long too dangerous?"
Aaron smiled while looking at the back of Brian which exuded arrogance, and said slowly, "Indeed, he is a dangerous man and I can't help rejoicing that I'm his friend rather than his enemy." He looked back at the torture room with a faint smile in his eyes. As far as he knew, only a few were able to pry into these unknown means of torture from FBI, but XK was absolutely one of them. After all, Brian had collected too much information in the past three days.
