Instead of replying, Finnick simply smiled and swept his icy gaze across the man.
The man couldn't help but shudder as a chill ran down his spine.
Noah then drove a kick into his side. "Do not lie to us! We're aware of your involvement, so you'd best come clean now. Otherwise, you will experience a fate worse than death!"
Shifty Eye could tell that these two men in front of him were of considerable means. There was no way he was going to get away unscathed if the rich and powerful duo did not get what they wanted.
He finally caved in and begged. "Alright, alright, gentlemen! Just ask away! I'll tell you anything you want to know."
Noah brought himself level with the man on the floor. "Two years ago, were you paid to pimp a drugged woman to an old man?"
"A drugged woman... An old man..." As Shifty Eye tried his best to recall, he seemed to remember something vaguely but was uncertain about it.
Finnick grew impatient. "How could you forget so quickly the reason why you were sent overseas?"
Once again, Noah showed Shifty Eye the bottom of his boot. "Spit it out! I assure you that you do not want to mess with us."
"Ouch! I'm trying, alright!"
Cowards who fear the strong and trample on the weak. Finnick and Noah had seen too many of these sorts.
"It looks as if you have a long list of bad deeds to go through, so you better think carefully!" Noah scowled.
"Yes! Of course!" the man answered hastily.
He was most intimidated by the gentleman in the wheelchair, who was silently observing him. Although Finnick did not utter a word, the aura that he exuded was terrifying. Shifty Eye knew that if he did not come clean, he might not be able to walk out of there.
