Len was the first to stand up. He took out his weapon from his storage space and stared out in alarm. When he saw that Fane was the one there, he let out a sigh of relief.
Fane was dragging Manuel and Marc into the cave, with both of them completely tied up. He tossed the both of them inside, and they let out cries of agony as they started to roll on the ground. When all of them saw that sight, they were completely relieved.
Fane had perfectly accomplished his task, getting the two of them back here without being injured at all. Even though they expected the result, they were still a little worried before they saw it for themselves.
Fane looked over at them and merely nodded before he walked over to Marc and Manuel. He kicked Manuel, causing Manuel to grunt before he rolled on the floor.
Fane controlled the power of the Broken Soul Blade and had not destroyed Manuel's soul too much. At that moment, both of them were still conscious. Manuel was trembling in pain, but he clenched his teeth and bore with it, not crying out in agony.
When he was tossed into the cave, he looked around and seemed to have figured something out when he saw so many warriors from third-grade worlds gathered there. He looked down, gesturing like he was not willing to talk.
Marc was not as resolved as Manuel was. Marc was crying out in pain, pleading to Fane, "Please let me go! Once I get out, I won't say anything! As long as you let me go, I'll give you anything you want!"
Seeing his fellow disciple being so soft, Manuel scoffed as he said in a low voice, "Even if you get on your knees and beg, he won't let you go. Where do you think this is? If he kills you, he'll get five million as reward and add another body to his name. Just think about it. If you were him, would you let yourself go?"
Marc shut his eyes despondently, not willing to believe it. However, his reason told him that Manuel was right. If he was in Fane's position, there was no way he would let him off.
Marc bit his lips and he shut his mouth hopelessly. He silently bore with the pain. Fane laughed as he coldly looked at Manuel. He slowly knelt and looked into Manuel's resolute eyes.
"You're more stubborn than I thought. I definitely won't let you go, but there's something both of you need to understand. I can kill you quickly or I can slowly torture you until you die. It's your choice to make."
The moment he said that, Marc started to shake in fear as he looked at Fane with an open mouth. He could not find the words at that moment, even forgetting to ask for mercy. All he could feel was hopelessness and despair. Manuel looked at Fane coldly, refusing to say anything.
Fane did not plan on listening to them and merely said, "Both of you, listen up, tell me everything you know, and I'll end you quickly. If you lie or refuse to talk, then what awaits you is endless torture. I have all the time in the world. I can slowly play around with your two."
Marc gulped as he tried to shrink back, yet he had been tied up very well. He was not able to move much at all. At that moment, the cave was incredibly silent. No one spoke. Rudy and the others quietly stood behind Fane, and Marc and Manuel were both in a complicated mood.
