The Legendary Man novel Chapter 689

Chapter 689 Their Intentions

The moment Aidan and the others boarded Medev, they smelled blood. Dismembered corpses were strewn all across the floor. Some had rotten flesh, while others only had their bones left intact. The aftermath of the battle alone was enough for them to imagine how cruel and violent the fight was.

Vicador picked up a severed arm that was somewhat frozen solid. “This tattoo is the symbol of Charleigh’s corps. If they encountered the enemies, why didn’t any of them report the situation to us earlier?”

“Charleigh is an outsider, after all. He’s not trying to do anything stupid, is he?” Aidan muttered as he swept his gaze past the corpses. He was the typical Remdik supremacist. Back when Charleigh joined them, Aidan vehemently opposed the idea.

At the side, Antoine frowned and gestured for Aidan to shut up. “Charleigh came to Remdik with special permission from the tsar. I have met him before. He’s a crazy scientist who doesn’t care much about background or nationality. In fact, he’ll pledge his loyalty to anyone who is willing to fund his research, so don’t run your mouth.”

In response, Antoine scoffed and remained silent. After all, he was recently saved by Aidan’s elder. Hence, he couldn’t bring himself to do anything that would cause a falling out.

When the group arrived at the cargo bay, they grimaced at the chunks of flesh on the floor. “Chanaeans are so vicious! They actually slaughtered everyone on the ship!” Alexander sighed.

However, Vicador sneered, “This isn’t anything shocking. If we defeat Chanaea’s forces, we can massacre everyone in Horbah as vengeance. What war doesn’t involve wanton death?”

It only took a few sentences for a group of people who didn’t get along with each other well to make the atmosphere tense.

Meanwhile, more than a dozen people emerged from under the cargo bay floor. They were hoisting Two and the others. “Sir, only eight of them are still alive on the ship, but we can’t wake them up.”

Alexander stepped toward Sabino and grabbed the latter’s collar. After he injected spiritual energy into Sabino’s body, he was shocked. “His body is filled with parasites, but all are dead. It’s possible they were all poisoned.”

Upon hearing his words, Aidan’s group promptly examined Two and the others. They were relieved to discover that, aside from Sabino, everyone else’s bodies were doing fine and could be woken up with fairly conventional methods.

“General, these are the military-grade locators we found next to them. It seems like whoever came for a rescue intentionally left them behind,” the soldier reported.

Vicador examined the locators before waving his hand. “I want them to spill out everything they know. Make it happen by any means necessary.” That short order basically sealed Sabino and the others’ fates.

The art of interrogation, which included many methods of torturing people, never stopped developing over the span of thousands of years. In modern times, even drugs and technologies were utilized in the process.

That was especially the case for Remdik, who only cared about results. It was easy to imagine how cruel their approaches were when there was no mouth their intelligence officers couldn’t pry open.

…

As night descended upon the world, Jonathan prevented Karl from rushing down the crest of the mountain east of Redlington’s pier.

“Stop moving! Look at that tree ahead,” he informed as he pressed half of Karl’s body into the snow. Gritting his teeth, Karl stared ahead and finally saw a thumb-sized pen-like object hidden in the tree.

“It’s an infrared alarm network. Use spiritual sense to scan every inch of the ground ahead of us, including everything under the snow,” Jonathan reminded again.

Upon giving up his struggle, Karl expanded his spiritual sense forward and instantly mapped out everything in front of him in his mind.
