Chapter 32: He Is Simply A Devil!

The sudden attack was completely out of Labre’s expectations. He was stunned by the fall and only reacted after a long while. He questioned with anger and fear.

“Mr. Lott, what are you doing? The Boat Gang has never provoked the Pedro Family… Don’t forget. The port is our home ground. I advise you to…”

Labre threatened him with a stern voice, but before he could finish, Lin En twisted his other arm and threw the muscular man, who had curled up into the shape of a shrimp, on the ground.

“I ask, you answer. Do you understand? I advise you to cooperate!” Lin En squatted down and stared at Labre as he spoke directly.

The tall man was already drenched in a cold sweat from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured the pain without making a sound. He stared at Lin En as if he wanted to swallow him alive. His mind was filled with thoughts, but he could not figure out the reason why Baron Pedro’s son had attacked him.

Could it be that someone in the Boat Gang accidentally angered the other party?

Just as he was thinking, Lin En’s voice sounded.

“The first question…Name!”

Labre widened his eyes and felt insulted. Wasn’t this obvious?

“Answer me!” Lin En’s voice was very cold. After waiting for two seconds, he suddenly pulled out the dagger from the other party’s waist and quickly and decisively stabbed at Labre’s right hand.

“Labre…”

The tall man shouted at the top of his lungs. He didn’t want to lose his precious right hand because of a very stupid question.

Lin En did not stop. Under Labre’s horrified gaze, the dagger pierced into his palm.

Labre’s back was soaked, but the pain he expected did not come. He looked down and realized that the dagger was stuck between his fingers.

“You only have one second to answer each question. There won’t be a next time!” Lin En said coldly, and then he asked the next question.

“Gender!”

“Male!” Labre gritted his teeth and replied, realizing the man in front of him was a lunatic.

“Place of origin…Yes, it’s also your birthplace!”

Lyn kept asking Labre all kinds of questions. At first, Labre could answer them without thinking. Then, the questions became more and more difficult, from the small things he did every day to the trade routes of the Boat Gang.

If Labre hesitated for a moment, he would break one of his fingers.

In just a few minutes, Lin En had already broken six of his fingers. It was so painful that Labre was in a daze.

“Alright, since you forgot which foot was the one that stepped out of the door first three days ago, I’ll ask you a simple question.” Lin En sighed helplessly. Then, he suddenly changed his tone and asked. “Where is the cripple Lauder?”

“He’s…” Labre subconsciously wanted to speak, but he stopped in the next moment and shook his head in horror. “I… I don’t know.”

“Told you, you should cooperate with me!” Lin En sighed helplessly. In fact, he was not good at interrogating people. He studied all these the night before.

Since Labre didn’t want to cooperate, he had no choice but to use a more radical method.

Lin En’s eyes narrowed. The entire Boat Gang was formed by a group of pirates who had ” turned over a new leaf.” According to Labre’s confession, in addition to running ships and transporting goods, they would also organize various illegal activities in private.

For example, pretending to be pirates to rob ships, human trafficking, transporting contraband, killing and fighting, and so on…If it were in his previous life, the things that Labre had done, even dying a hundred times, would not be enough to appease the anger of the people!

“Have you heard of skinning?” Lin En asked slowly.

Skinning?

Labre shuddered, and then he heard Lin En continue.

” First, I will cut down from the spine and split the skin on the back into two halves. Then, I will slowly use the knife to cut down along the veins of the muscles. The action must be fast and complete before the target loses blood and dies…”

Lin En continued to explain the ancient torture of a certain country to Labre. The description was very vivid and detailed, even to the point of how to cut and how much blood would be lost. Every step needed to be completed in a few minutes.

Labre was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. He had no doubt that this lunatic in front of him would skin him alive. “Lord Lott, I really don’t know where Leader Lauder went.”

“Is that so? But I heard that you’re the most trusted subordinate of the cripple, Lauder!” Lin En sneered.

“In fact, Mister Lauder never trusts anyone…” Labre explained in fear. ” I only know that he left the harbor town three days ago…”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to say it. We have a lot of time to experiment!” Lin En stood up and patted the dust off his pants. When he was looking for interrogation techniques last night, he saw many interesting and harmless interrogation methods. Now was the time to try them out!

Half an hour later, Labre had collapsed to the ground. He was on the verge of breaking down under the mental and physical torture. He told everything he knew to Lin En’s inquiry. He even revealed that he had once stolen an entire ship’s cargo and disguised it as a shipwreck.

However, Labre had no idea about Lauder’s whereabouts. After experimenting with several ways to torture his mind, Lin En had to admit that Lauder was probably not pretending.

According to the information Labre provided, Lauder left two days ago, which was also the day after the ambush on Ur Town. At the same time, the [Drunkard] Tavern that he had been to was raided by the Holy Church, and Old York went missing.

It was very likely that at that time, the cripple Lauder received the news and hid in fear.

Only a few higher-ups of the [Boat Gang] knew that the other party was not in Harbor Town.

“It seems that your identity as the most capable assistant is just a cover!” Lin En looked at Labre, who had collapsed to the ground, and shook his head helplessly.

Labre did know a lot about the secret of the Boat Gang, but he had very limited information about someone who had been secretly transporting supplies to Grimrelle. He only knew that every year on the first day of the Radiant Moon, Lauder would personally be responsible for the transportation of some of the big ships. Labre didn’t know where these ships led to.

Lin En pondered for a long time. The caution and cunningness of the other party were completely out of his expectations. Lauder had probably already prepared for the possibility of the higher-ups of the [Boat Gang] betraying or being captured.

However, it was impossible for Lauder to cross the sea by himself. In other words, there would definitely be some core members of the [Boat Gang] who were in charge of this matter…The rest of the outer circle members would act as cover, listen to Labre’s orders, and be abandoned in the moment of danger.

Lin En recalled the names and histories of the leaders of the Boat Gang that he had learned from Labre.

Everyone seemed to be a spy set up by Lauder.

As he was thinking, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Since he couldn’t find him, he might as well let Lauder take the initiative to find him…
