After withdrawing the dagger from Thomas' thigh, Finlay approached Ivan, and squinted his eyes at the latter, “What about you?”
Ivan sweated all over. He clenched his teeth and kept mum.
Shaking his head, Finlay shook his head and drove a dagger through Ivan's thigh too.
Ivan let out an agonized scream.
Glaring at the man wailing in pain, Finlay slowly turned the dagger and snickered, “So, have you decided to let the cat out of the bag?”
Despite shrieking in pain, Ivan refused to utter a single word too.
Thomas was a rugged man, and did not even so much as wince despite suffering excruciating pain.
Even though Ivan seemed like the weaker of the duo and whimpered in pain, the man did not cave in either.
“I don't believe that I can't handle you both!” Finlay scorned at the stubborn men.
When he was about to continue tormenting the duo, Arnold interrupted him.
“Finlay, just let your subordinates handle this.”
Then, he pointed at one dressed in all black and ordered, “You, come here!”
“Take turns at stabbing these two every five minutes. One of them will cave when they can't take it anymore.”
The man in black nodded before asking, “What if they refuse to say anything?”
Arnold turned to face the stubborn duo and smiled. “Then just keep stabbing them, since they're willing to die rather than disclose the information anyway.”
The man in black snickered. “Understood, sir. I will pay extra attention to how much force I'm exerting with each slash, essentially keeping them alive, and yet they would wish that they were dead instead. If they really refuse to divulge anything, I'm going to guarantee that they will get a taste of being skinned alive.”
“I'll leave it to you gentlemen then.”
“Finlay, let's go for a meal first. We'll see how things go later.,” Arnold said.
“Sure, Mr. Davier. I've already made a reservation
at the restaurant.”
Meanwhile, at the Riverside Garden.
