While looking down on Pablo, who was drenched in sweat and wet with rain water, I began my questioning.
āStart talking about everything related to [Under eye]. First, who ordered the hit on me?ā
āā¦ā¦..Boss. Milworc-san gave the order [Find Klaus-samaās older brother, Chris].ā
āSo a direct order really has been relayed. Is Klaus directly related to this order?ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦I really donāt know about that. We just heard that it was an order from Milworc.ā
Judging from his heartbeat, Pablo wasnāt lying here.
Looks like he really isnāt aware if this order came directly from Klaus or not.
āIn the first place, explain what kind of relation Klaus has with [Under Eye]. Considering you are using ā-samaā for him, I assume you are now his subordiantes?ā
āIām not sure either. Boss decided to join Klaus-samaās party, which made us work like his arms and legs but in truth, none of us except the Boss have met Klaus directly.ā
āI see. So you are basically being used through Milworcās connection.ā
If Klaus isnāt directly controlling them, it probably means that this order came from Milworc himself and not necessarily Klaus. Iām confident of it.
I was suspicious the moment they tried to poison me but, now I was convinced.
In this case, if I play this well, I could kill this troublesome Milworc beforehand on his own by dragging him out.
If I topple their head, the rest of [Under Eye] will lose their reason to serve Klaus, and Klausā own forces will dwindle by quite a lot.
ā¦ā¦ā¦But of course, thereās also a chance that he might make a move and come directly for me to take revenge for killing this Milworc though.
For the time being, letās change my current target to [Under Eye], specifically this Milworc, before Klaus.
āNext, tell me about the members of [Under Eye]. Since you guys are supposedly few and handpicked, surely you know them all right?ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦Only Milworc knows everyone. We donāt get the full details from the Boss. And we have no idea about everyone elseās abilities or even names.ā
I could hear his heartbeat rise.
Since he was talking so smoothly, he mustāve thought that his lie wonāt get caught. What a simplistic fool.
āthatās a lie. In the first place, I heard you talk about some Douglas Dyneā¦ā¦.I did say Iāll pull out a nail if you lie didnāt I?ā
āIām not lying I swear! Douglas Dyne is, wellā¦ā¦..itās like a codename!ā
I circled around to the back of Pablo who was desperately making excuses, and grabbed his right arm that was tied to the back and was hung limp from being broken.
With the arm already broken, I wondered how much pain would he even feel if I pull out a nail now.
With this simple question in mind, I let all of Pabloās excuses go from one ear and out of the other, while I grabbed one of his fingers, and then jammed a iron nail that I picked up from the ground in between his nail and the skin of his index finger.
And the next instant,āāa piercing wailing scream came out of Pablo.
The scream was much louder than I imagined, so I quicklyĀ tore of a piece of his black robe and jammed it into his mouth.
While breathing out of his nose, tears were rolling down out of his eyes and down his face.
āEven though I warned you so many times to not lie to me. Did you know that the point under the nails have a lot of nerves which makes the pain you feel there much stronger. It wonāt even make you lose consciousness because the pain is so sharp.ā
I explained the reasoning behind why he was feeling such intense pain but, it didnāt seem like he was hearing me much right now.
I canāt really continue talking like this so, while it feels like waste, I should probably use a potion to heal him a little before I continue.
āYou were screaming again when I pulled the iron nail out as well, but hey, I even healed you back, so you should be able to talk again right?ā
āā¦ā¦..pl, please forgive me, ju, just let me die already!ā
āif you tell me everything I want to know, Iāll give you a nice peaceful deathā¦ā¦ā¦.you guys were the ones who attacked me. Donāt expect me to make it easy for you though. You should probably be able to tell now that I have healed you that I can do this a dozen more times, if not more.ā
It looked like his heart was finally broken, so I doubt heāll lie anymore, so I began asking about [Under Eye] once again.
Just around when I was done interrogating him and getting all the info I could get out of him, I was about to end the interrogation when the door of the room was pushed open.
Ralf entered the room looking very serious.
āChris! Two more guys dressed in black robes like that guy just showed up! Looking just from afar, they seem pretty strong so Iām confident itās them!ā
āI see. Iām done here too so letās meet up with Esta and face them.ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦Weāre really gonna fight them huh. I donāt like fighting inside the city but, I guess canāt get picky right now eh? So, what are we gonna do with that guy?ā
āSorry, but Iām going to kill him. Iāve ripped him of any fighting spirit that may remain but, he knows about me, what I look like. Thereās no merit in letting him live.ā
āGot it! Part of me wants to stop you but, with the incident with Greath and then Carlo, Iāve already made up my resolve! I wonāt let you carry this burden on your ownā¦ā¦..Let me do it!ā
āNo. I donāt plan on handing my prey to others. Ralf, you go outside.ā
I shouted at Ralf who suddenly said he wanted to kill the man, and pushed him out of the room.
Itās not like Iām actually angry, itās just an act for Ralf.

I know Iām the one who dragged them into this but itās my own selfish desire of not wanting Ralf and Esta to cross that line.
āthose that can easily kill humans arenāt humans themselves.ā
I know thatās a fact because I have felt it myself.
Looking down at the ground, the man was still muttering and mumbling randomly, as I put my sword at his neck, and to make sure that at least it wasnāt painful any longerāāI chopped his head off in a single slash.
