Chapter 692 Kill Them All
Ever since its inception, Blood Squad had been one of the most elite special operations units in the whole of Chanaea.
Even in the international arena, it enjoyed great acclaim. It ranked among the strongest military units in the world, on par with Remdik’s Team Alpha, Anglandur’s Navy Corps, and Irethiel’s Shiv Forces.
The four different military units were located in pan-Anglandur, Zaewora, North Epea, and South Aploth, respectively. They had always been legendary, rumored to be invincible as long as they accepted a mission.
It was during the mission in Remdik this time that Blood Squad and Team Alpha went up against each other.
Under the utilization of technology, Blood Squad suffered devastating casualties. From the initial fifty people who made up the entire team, the only survivors were the seven men in the barrack then.
The captain of the squad, Sabino, had established an incredibly close relationship with Jonathan, Karl, and the others during battle a few years ago. Several times, they experienced life-and-death situations together.
Back when Asura’s Office was established, Jonathan wanted to appoint him as core personnel to help train new recruits.
Regretfully, he demurred with the reason of being unsuited for a low-risk job. While Chanaea’s general environment was peaceful at that time, there were still a ton of hidden dangers both internally and on the fringes, so someone needed to continue taking up the job.
Precisely because of that, Jonathan assigned him to Karl. From there, the strongest warfare team known as Blood Squad came into existence.
But right then, the man who had never been defeated on the battlefield was lying prone with his head, neck, wrist, chest, waist, thighs, and ankles restrained by steel bars.
Sabino and the others were covered in blood. That aside, fine wires littered their bodies, and their vitals were displayed on the computer at the side.
On a tray by the side were bottles of empty vials.
With just a single glance, Jonathan could tell what Sabino and the others had gone through.
Those vials contained a stimulant that could boost one’s nervous system. When injected with such a drug, one’s sensation toward external stimuli would be magnified several folds.
On top of that, it would keep the person very much conscious for a short time.
It was a basic drug used in extorting information by torture.
Needless to say, the events that followed after such a drug would be all sorts of inhuman torture.
Jonathan turned his gaze to Sabino’s hands and legs, only to see that the man’s nails were long since gone. Worse still, screws had been drilled into the pads of each digit.
Dozens of similar wounds adorned the bodies of Sabino and the others. But at the same time, they had been injected with adrenaline that kept them alive.
Reaching out, Jonathan touched the back of Sabino’s neck. As his spiritual energy burst out, it severed the latter’s nerves like an invisible scalpel.
He knew Sabino would undoubtedly die once adrenaline stopped pumping into him, considering his injuries.
Alas, the only thing he could do then was to relieve some of the man’s agony.
“Sabino, it’s me, Jonathan. Wake up…”
He stretched out a hand once more and placed it on Sabino’s head, channeling spiritual energy into the latter incessantly.
“M-Mr. Goldstein…”
Sabino’s voice was a mere whisper, but it had already exhausted the last vestiges of his strength.
“It’s me, Buddy.”
Jonathan looked at the man with his eyes blazing scarlet, forcibly suppressing the wrath within him. He then curved his lips and flashed Sabino a stilted grin.
“You’ve been doing pretty well in the past few years. How did you get caught?”
At that very moment, Sabino’s face was a bloodied mess, only one of his eyes opening. When he heard the man’s words, the corners of his lips twitched. He wanted to force a smile, but it was beyond him.
“Mr. Goldstein… Killian is with Ste…”
“Stellario and two other cultivators of God Realm had taken Killian away, yes?” Jonathan queried with a smile.
“Yeah… With the location from Blood Squad, you’ll be able to find him…”
Sabino then fixated his gaze on the man with great difficulty.
“Mr. Goldstein… Hand my jade pendant… to Lynn… I promised to marry her…”
Following that remark, Jonathan could no longer hold his tears back. They started streaming down his face like a faucet.
