Chapter 2669: Interrogating the Attacker

"N-No! Something must have gone wrong, and the poison didn’t apply properly!" The attacker muttered in disbelief. "Let’s see if you’ll survive this!"

The attacker shouted as he swung his sword,

Yuan didn’t react and calmly stood still as the sword flew toward his neck, and a moment later, the sword decapitated him, sending his head spinning in the air before falling to the ground with a soft thud.

The attacker burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Bastard gave me a good scare! But he definitely won’t be—"

The attacker halted his sentence as he choked on his own words, his eyes widening with shock and disbelief as Yuan’s headless body moved with smooth and deliberate movements, bending down to pick up his own severed head like he was picking up a fallen hat.

Then, Yuan attached his own head back onto his neck, and the massive cut that split them began to regenerate, swiftly healing all damage until there wasn’t even the slightest scar.

"You’ll need to do more than sever my head to kill me," Yuan calmly said, breaking the silence.

"Y-Y-You fucking monster!" The attacker dropped his sword and turned to flee, completely forgetting that they were at a dead end and that there was nowhere to run.

"Why are you running? You haven’t finished your mission yet."

Yuan slowly approached the attacker with a cold grin.

"G-Get away from me!" The attacker turned around and shouted.

"Huh?"

His terrified expression immediately became one full of confusion as Yuan’s figure had suddenly vanished like a ghost.

"Did he leave?" he muttered aloud.

"Before I acquire what I want to know? Not a chance."

Yuan’s voice suddenly resounded beside him, causing the attacker to turn to his right. However, the moment he caught a glimpse of Yuan’s cold expression, he felt a hand clamp around his neck like the talons of an eagle.

"Let’s go somewhere more quiet, shall we?"

Before the attacker could even comprehend the situation, the world around him abruptly turned pitch-black, as though he had been plunged into the deepest depths of the abyss.

"First question: who are you working for?" Yuan asked.

However, the attacker did not response, and he just realized where they were.

"T-This is the void?! Impossible! How can you use void control in the city?!"

"Wrong answer."

Yuan spoke coldly before partially withdrawing his protection from the man.

The next moment, the man screamed in agony as the void assaulted his right foot, devouring it until nothing remained.

But Yuan wasn’t done. He continued withdrawing more and more of his protection, allowing the void to keep devouring the man so that he would feel every moment of it. Eventually, his entire right leg was gone.

"Still don’t feel like answering? Let’s work on the next leg—"

"W-W-Wait! I will answer! I work for the Angry Shadows!"

"Angry Shadows? What’s that?"

"That’s..."

When the man showed even the slightest hesitation, Yuan said nothing and removed the protection from the man’s other foot, letting the void consume it.

"Ahhh!" the man screamed in agony before hurriedly answering, "The Angry Shadows are a group of professional assassins who specialize in killing people for money and valuables! We mainly operate within the Union!"

"Who hired you?" Yuan asked, despite already knowing the answer.

"I-I don’t know! Our clients’ privacy is our top priority, so we never ask for their identities! The only thing that matters is whether they can pay for the job!"
