The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 253

~Leo~

Once Casper was done preparing the prisoner for torture and questioning, we headed towards the venue.

We were excited, and the game Sylvester set in motion was part of it.

I wondered whose theory would check out.

I hoped it would be ours because it would suck to be stuck with kitchen duties for a week. Like Avery, I liked good food, and I doubted we could come up with anything palatable.

We entered the warehouse where the torture and questioning chamber was situated.

The women and my parents were led to sit in a room beside the chamber. A glass wall separated the room from the chamber, and the women could see through it. It helped them see what was happening in the torture chamber, but the people in the torture chamber would not see the people in the other room; instead, the glass functioned as a mirror to them. It helped us observe interrogations in secret without the knowledge of the prisoner.

Inkabod was pinned on a round wood resting against the wall with only his underwear on. He looked afraid and worried, and he kept his eyes focused on Andrew and Clay. I guess he was trying to plead their heritage.

"It is an abomination for a Stepanov to team up with a Volkov against their own," he said, short of breath, and I knew Casper must have had him beaten up.

He seemed all right, but his looks didn't fool me.

Aurora had done a number on him by taking part of his arm. It was amazing. He still wanted to live, knowing he would be useless.

"Do you not know Leonardo Albert is a Volkov," he said to Andrew and Clay.

"His ancestor Patrick Volkov had an affair with a woman from our clan," he said, and Kyle went and punched him in the face. At least Inkabod saved me the stress of explaining my lineage to Sylvester, but Kyle's punch was needed.

'We did not come here for history lessons, arsehole. We came here for answers, and you will give them," Kyle said, and I was surprised by the amount of Rrage Kyle harboured.

"Volkovs would always betray Stepanovs at the end because they feel superior to us. Remember my words when it happens. History has …" Inkabod said, and Kyle punched him again.

"I bet you heard me the first time dickhead," He said, and Casper came to feed Inkabod Silver.

There was no way we could get ahead with this if his healing ability was still working at the normal rate.

Inkabod was difficult at first, but a couple of punches from Kyle and Casper did the job, and they were able to introduce the Silver into his system.

'Now we want you to tell us what Yuri's plans are and where he is," Sylvester finally asked, speaking to Inkabod.

Inkabod became tight-lipped, and Kyle did us the honour of punching him a couple of times.

"I would say you should save some fun for me, Kyle, but you seem to be doing an awesome job with the douchebag," Devin said.

I knew Devin had it in for Inkabod, too, because of all that had happened in the South.

"I do not know where Yuri is," Inkabod finally confessed, and Kyle punched him in the stomach.

'It is best you kill me because I know you won't believe me. I can tell you what I know of his plans, but I cannot give you his location. He is like a ghost and only trusts himself," He said, repeating the same thing my parent said. I knew there was a possibility he was telling the truth so I am interveined.

"Tell us his plans and how far he has gone," I finally said.

"You broke a bit too easy for a trained soldier. I bet you are planning on misleading us," David said, observing what we almost dismissed, and Inkabod laughed.

"My life is forfeit. Because I failed to secure the East for Yuri, he will send men after me to eliminate me. He does not leave any loose ends. This way, I would have hit him where it hurts before he finds and kills me," He said, and I did not know if he was telling the truth or lying. There was also no way we could figure it out.

"I want the truth," Sylvester said with his alpha command, and I saw Inkabod's discomfort in his eyes. The command got to him, but he wanted to fight it. He was trying to speak through it.

'I am telling the truth,' He confessed, and even though that should be enough, We were not going to take it seriously until we were sure.

"Very well, tell us of his plans," Sylvester ordered him sternly, and Inkabod coughed, but this time blood exited his mouth. I guess Kyle did a number on his inside.

"lay off the guy a bit," I linked Kyle because Inkabod won't be helpful dead. If Silver slowed his healing down, we could not afford him to be over-injured.

"Yuri has a strong alliance in the South. His plan is to take over the South and East. He has strong partners there, but Erik keeps countering him. Erik has gone into hiding because Yuri is searching for him.

Yuri plans to take over both regions and install himself as King. Right now, the South has been taken over with the help of the late Nicolas Sullivan. But now that all Yuri's powerful allies are no more, he has been forced to carry out his plan openly," He explained.

"So where is he now in his plan, and what affects us?" I asked him, and he sighed.
