Chapter 339
Shi Lei remained silent, waiting for the other party to continue.
"I... I shouldn't have attacked you."
"Not that sentence."
Iron Great Position's face fell as he tried his best to figure out what information the Lucky Knight wanted to know:
"It was a few directors from the Commercial Union who ordered me to get rid of you so as not to affect the Knight Competition's profits."
"It's not this sentence either."
Shi Lei sounded somewhat disappointed and warned:
"Think it through before you speak."
"I, I..."
The Iron Great Position were dumbfounded, not knowing what information the Lucky Knight wanted to know.
Do you want wealth?
He doesn't seem like someone who's short of money.
Do you want a woman?
But if you want a woman, you shouldn't ask me for one.
Is it because they want power?
He doesn't have the capital to get into the National Assembly.
Seeing that Iron Great Position couldn't utter a word for a long time, Shi Lei reminded him:
"You still have two accomplices who have not been caught."
Ah, I see!
So it turns out the Lucky Knight wanted the specific addresses of the other two Iron Great Position.
He's willing to betray his comrades for personal gain. The question is, will offering up the Lucky Knight guarantee his release?
Seeing that Iron Great Position remained silent, Shi Lei showed no mercy. He simply let go and allowed him to fall freely.
The leaders of these assassin organizations have stained their hands with countless amounts of blood over the years.
They act as lackeys for the Commercial Union, harming mostly ordinary people with no commercial value.
Shi Lei would not feel any psychological burden by torturing Iron Great Position in this way.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
Iron Great Position Dawei's hair stood on end as he plummeted downwards without any hindrance.
Shi Lei fell even faster, arriving at a point a thousand meters above the ground ahead of time to wait. After catching him, they flew back to an altitude of four thousand meters.
Iron Great Position Dawei felt a chill run down his spine and up to the top of his head.
Have you thought it through?
Seeing him panting heavily but not answering, Shi Lei released his grip again and flew downwards.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
After repeating this several times, Iron Great Position's gaze began to become somewhat unfocused.
The continuous high-intensity stimulation had pushed his adrenaline levels to their limit.
"What, haven't you decided yet? It's only ten o'clock, I have plenty of time to play with you."
"I've thought it through... but... if I tell you, will you let me go?"
"Trying to bargain with me?"
Shi Lei let go again, flew to a height of one thousand meters, and pulled the person back down.
This experience of repeatedly jumping off buildings was more torturous than any torture that Iron Great Position had ever seen before.
Once adrenaline reaches its limit, it causes blood vessels to constrict and blood pressure to rise.
He now feels a headache and dizziness, his body is cold and stiff, and his reactions have become sluggish. After the third free fall, he experienced urinary incontinence.
Moreover, falling from the sky, one cannot land and commit suicide. Truly, one cannot live, nor can one die.
"I can't take it anymore, I really can't. What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything..."
If you had said so sooner, you would have suffered less.
The Lucky Knight must have experienced more than one form of torture; if he had to go through them all first, all the previous hardships would have been for nothing.
After obtaining the address, Shi Lei plummeted downwards.
He flew to the rooftop of a tall building and used Rock Element artifact to lock the Iron Great Position. He also secured his chin and other parts to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
They then took off from the spot and headed to the address to capture the other two Iron Great Position of the Armored Unarmored Alliance.
Shi Lei wasn't worried that Iron Great Position was lying; if they couldn't find him, they could just come back and continue the interrogation.
July 13, 10:20 pm
Commercial Union, work area.
Today, due to the combined power outage in four cities, many tasks could not be carried out.
Once power is restored in the afternoon, staff will need to work overtime to finish up the tasks that piled up in the morning.
Spokesperson Mackey, for example, didn't leave work until after 10 PM. As he went downstairs, he saw commentator Big Mouth Mob still typing away at his computer and went over to encourage him:
"Thank you for your hard work, Mob."
"Hey, Mr. Mackey! Haha, it's no trouble at all, it's just what I should do."
Mackey glanced at the computer screen, which displayed a promotional poster for Lucky Knight's match against Nightmare Chaser Knight tomorrow:
"I don't know if you've heard, but the culprit behind today's massive power outage is the Infected. The board doesn't want the Nearl Family sisters and Lucky Knight to win."
Upon Big Mouth Mob's expression turned strange. He glanced around to make sure there were no other outsiders in the office area before lowering his voice and asking in a low voice:
"Are you saying the referee's table should make Black Whistle calls?"
As the board's mouthpiece, Mackey wouldn't make any definitive statements to avoid backlash.
"The specifics depend on the situation on the ground. After the referee makes his or her decision, you need to explain the rationale behind the ruling to the audience and smooth things over appropriately."
Big Mouth Mob slightly, but his right hand, hidden under the table, clenched into a fist. To keep this lucrative job, sometimes you have to do things against your conscience.
"Furthermore, the three Xuan Tie members disappeared after the blackout. Several executives of the Commercial Union were assassinated and killed on the spot during the blackout."
"Goose?"
Big Mouth Mob felt that he was just a commentator and had not yet reached the level of access to this kind of intelligence.
When the spokesperson mentioned confidential information that would not be disclosed to the public, he looked puzzled and bewildered.
Mackey ignored all of that and continued talking to himself:
"Interestingly, Originium crystal can be found at the scene of every murder of a senior executive."
It was as if they were saying, "Look, it was all done by infected people!"
But do infected people really have that much power?
Not only did they know the executives' schedules and addresses, but they could also kill them in one move without leaving any trace of a struggle.
Such a clumsy cover-up can only fool the common people. Without a doubt, the murderers are the three Iron Great Position. As for their motives for killing high-ranking officials, I'm not sure at the moment. But do you know what it means that they dared to attack high-ranking officials?
Big Mouth Mob, dared not take the bait. He only earned a little over ten thousand yuan a month. How could he dare to get involved in something like this, which involved political infighting?
"Um?"
Seeing that the other person was staring at him, Big Mouth Mob grinned awkwardly.
"Sir, you're putting me in a difficult position. I'm just an explanation; I don't know anything about this."
"Heh, you really don't understand anything?"
Mackey asked a question in return, and then answered it himself:
"The fact that three Iron Great Position dared to attack a senior executive shows that the Armored Unarmored Alliance has betrayed the Commercial Union. Do you find that terrifying? Yes, it is terrifying."

409 Match-fixing Scandal
As night fell, Shi Lei, based on the address provided by Iron Great Position, captured two accomplices.
After confirming their identities, they were immediately knocked unconscious using their Psychic Power and taken away from the scene.
Currently, all three high-ranking members of the Armored Unarmored Alliance are in Shi Lei's hands. After capturing them, he did not kill them on the spot, but planned to hand them over to the local law enforcement agencies for trial.
Taking advantage of the four-city power outage, the Pinecone Knights stole a wealth of classified information from the Commercial Union building. With this as leverage, they Supervision Committee.
Giving the three Iron Great Position to Sona would be tantamount to adding icing on the cake, and would not make much sense.
It would be better to let Amiya and the Doctor have it, Supervision Committee under the guise of Rhodes Island capturing them. That way, they'll have more leverage in future business negotiations.
Given the different mobile network operators in different countries, the coverage area of the Signal Tower is limited. Shi Lei only knew the mobile phone number Amiya used in Yan, but didn't know what number she used to contact people in Kazimierz.
So he called Dobermann and asked him to help notify the Doctor to send someone to take away the Iron Great Position.
After agreeing on the time and place, he took the two back to the rooftop, allowing the three Iron Great Position to 'reunite'.
Before long, the two unconscious people woke up.
Upon seeing Iron Great Position, who had revealed their whereabouts, they still had to send him a barrage of greetings, even though they were unable to move.
What are the sandy pens of plum and hemp, the frost-dampened dates, the evening glow of the green sun, and the Firstborn dawn?
Even Shi Lei couldn't stand it anymore and covered the mouths of the three of them with Rock Element.
Even so, the two Iron Great Position kept making muffled noises, their eyes practically bulging out.
As midnight approached, Dobermann and Miss Shining arrived at the designated location by car and called to make contact.
Shi Lei wrapped the three of them in Rock Constructs, jumped off the rooftop, and landed in the park where they met.
After dismantling the Rock Constructs, he created small spheres of Rock Element within the bodies of the three Iron Great Position, issuing a warning:
"I have implanted spheres in your stomachs, and I will know immediately when they are removed. Anyone who dares to divulge anything about me will face the consequences."
The mere fact that these three assassinated multiple executives of the Commercial Union is enough to warrant a death sentence.
The implanted Rock Constructs sphere serves as an extra layer of insurance. It prevents it from being intercepted by other forces En route transport to the supervisory authority. In that case, it can be precisely located using GPS tracking.
Afterwards, Shi Lei handed over the Iron Great Position to Dobermann and Shining, and left the scene as they watched him go.
July 14, 8:55 AM
First Club Arena.
Today is the quarterfinals of the Special Tournament, and the venue has been changed to the largest arena in Kazimierz.
The match between Lucky Knight and Nightmare Chaser Knight was postponed due to yesterday's four-city power outage. The remaining three quarter-final matches will be played today.
Although it was a rest day, there weren't many spectators at the game.
The arena, which can accommodate 50,000 people, is currently only 20-30% full.
The root cause is that Lucky Knight and Nightmare Knight are newcomers and have little popularity.
Some of the spectators came to watch the match in order to get in early and make it easier to watch Maria's game.
The host is Big Mouth Mob, who was originally supposed to work at the Blazing Arena.
The Commercial Union spokesperson, Mackey, was impressed by his excellent on-the-spot adaptability. He was thus handpicked to provide commentary for all matches after the quarterfinals.
"La Signora and gentlemen, welcome to the First Club Arena! First Club, your community's first choice! I'm your new commentator, Big Mouth Mob."
Before we knew it, we'd reached the quarterfinals of the special tournament. I'm sure everyone in the audience is eager to know who will prove the best today.
Is he a lucky Lucky Knight, or a powerful Nightmare Chaser Knight?
