"Who are you?" "How do you know about amber gold?" "Who told you?"

The mysterious man became alert. Amber Gold was a secret of the Court of Owls, known only to the highest-ranking members. How could an outsider possibly know?

Xu Fu looked him up and down and nodded in satisfaction.

"Looks like he's not homeless, that's good."

“William Cobb, remember, you’re still alive.”

"Understood, Master."

William Cobb nodded excitedly, his eyes reflecting a twisted joy. Although his memory was fragmented, he had not forgotten the torment he had endured. The person in front of him had hurt him too much, and now he was going to take back everything he had suffered.

Soon, the hall was filled with sorrowful cries.

William Cobb was torturing his opponent with the torture techniques he had learned at the Court of Owls. His large, vise-like hands, known as "797," moved back and forth across the mysterious man's body, the bones cracking like popping beans.

This kind of pain is something that those who haven't experienced it cannot understand.

Xu Fu didn't like this rather fatalistic scene, so he turned around and walked to the computer to look for data.

He wasn't mistaken; this stone chamber was the owl's courtyard, a resting place specially prepared for Claw. Although Claw possessed a near-immortal body, it couldn't live like a normal person. If left unattended for too long, its body's memories would awaken.

Therefore, to prevent the claws from rebelling, the Court of Owls specially created a freezing system, placing the claws in an ice cellar and only waking them up at the right time.

The "coffin" in the room is this refrigeration system.

Xu Fu walked to a closed coffin, pressed the power button on it, and the coffin lid slowly opened, revealing a frozen corpse.

"Of course!"

Four coffins, two closed and two open, signifying that another "sharpshooter" has gone on a mission today.

"William Cobb!"

"I am here, master."

Twist his left leg

"Is the master"

William Cobb's eyes turned fierce, and he kicked downwards.

When the mysterious man's left kneecap was crushed, the room fell silent, filled with murderous screams, and he almost lost consciousness.

Xu Fu walked up to him and said coldly

“Tell me everything you know about the Court of Owls, including the names of the people, the organizers, the location of the headquarters, and Amber Gold.”

“If you tell me, I’ll break your arms and legs so you can continue living; if you don’t tell me, I’ll take your life.”

"Devil, you are the devil!"

The mysterious man screamed like a madman, his eyes bloodshot and ready to devour someone. He had never been subjected to such torture before. What was even more terrifying was the ruthless and heartless way the other party had acted during the torture, not even giving him a chance to speak.

Clearly, the person speaking to the speaker didn't care about their own life or death.

"Who are you? Why are you causing us trouble?"

"You want to know where I came from? No problem, but..." Xu Fu suddenly laughed, changing the subject: "Do you really want to know?"

The mysterious man's face froze, then he suddenly came to his senses.

Xu Fu smiled and continued.

"I can tell you're a smart person. You might survive if you don't know my identity, but if you did, you would surely die."

"Have you thought about this question? If you have, give me an answer. If you haven't, I can only let William Cobb continue down the mountain. It's clear he enjoys tormenting you."

Mysterious man: "..."

He roared, enduring the pain in his body, "What do you want to know?"

"That's right! If you get caught, cooperate; if you don't, you'll get into trouble. As the saying goes: 'Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely.'"

Mysticism: "..."

Be honest, just wait and see.

Countless evil thoughts surged into his mind, but he dared not reveal them in the slightest.

"The question remains: where is the amber gold?"

Xu Fu squatted down in front of him and asked coldly, "Don't tell me you don't know."

The mysterious man took a few breaths and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Amber Gold is the main material for creating the Claw Power. It is a top-secret item. Only the Saniwa knows its whereabouts; no one else knows." He paused, then, sensing the killing intent emanating from Xu Fu, he quickly added.

"Really, I'm not lying to you. You could kill me and I still wouldn't know!"

The last sentence sounded very pleading.

Xu Fu clenched his fists, suppressing his impatience, and pressed for an answer.

What does "interrogator" mean?

"The interrogators are the highest-ranking commanders of the Court of Owls. There are three in total. Usually, one is responsible for day-to-day operations, one for the secret training facility, and the third for liaison with the members. Five years ago, one of the interrogators died, and now only the two of them remain..."

"Who are they?"

"How would I know?" The mysterious man forced a bitter smile. "Everyone wears a mask, all of them. Some even have voice-changing devices. Unless you know them very well, you can't guess who they are."

"This is a tradition of the Court of Owls; all participants must wear a falcon mask, and no one except the judges knows who is hiding behind the mask."

What is your position at the Court of Owls?

"I am the administrator, mainly responsible for managing the four claws in the secret chamber. When there is a mission, I come to the cave to thaw the claws and make them obey orders. After the mission is completed, they will be locked in the coffin and frozen."

“What if the claws don’t obey?” Xu Fu glanced at William Cobb and continued with interest, “What would you do?”

The mysterious man hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Punishment!"

"punish!"

Xu Fu held up the "remote control" in his hand: "Use this?"

The mysterious man nodded.

Xu Fu loosened his grip and crushed the "remote control" into pieces, only then realizing that the so-called "punishment device" was actually a piece of plastic.

"I'm very curious, how did you manage to make Ostrost suffer with this little gadget?"

"This is..."

5.7 The mysterious man was speechless, unable to respond. Beads of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead, which shivered from the cold air.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally uttered a single sentence.

"Actually, this is a method used by the circus. I heard that when they are training young assassins, they put some drugs in their food. When the assassins are not calm, they will take out a remote control to punish them. After a few times, it will cause a stress response..."

He paused here, looked up, and his expression was slightly confused.

Xu Fu looked at William Cobb's contorted face with a strange expression and burst into laughter.

"This is hilarious, so incredibly hilarious! Hahahaha!!"

"As expected of the Court of Owls, you actually managed to use animal trainer methods on people. You guys are really something."

Chapter 1315 The Heartless Tailor

"I am going to kill you."

A roar erupted from the stone chamber. William Cobb's eyes burned with rage, his face contorted inhumanly. The mysterious man's words had made his blood boil, his head felt like it was about to explode, and countless images buried deep in his memory flashed through his boiling thoughts.

He remembered his identity, his ex-wife and children, and the endless humiliation he had suffered at the base.

Roaring furiously, covered in blood, William Cobb became like a wild beast.

"Go to hell!"

William Cobb roared, snatched the dagger, and stabbed it into the mysterious man's heart. Just then, a tremendous force struck from the side, sending his body flying to the side and crashing mercilessly into the wall.

Xu Fu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You dare to kill without my orders."

"Remember, you're just a dog. If I want you to live, you live; if I want you to die, you die."

The chilling voice pierced William Cobb's heart like a knife, instantly snapping him back to reality. Trembling, he crawled to Xu Fu's body.

"I was wrong, Master, I will never do it again."

"Go away!"

William Cobb hurriedly got up and carefully closed the door behind him.

Judging from this scene, the mysterious man was both shocked and frightened, his heart almost jumping out of his chest: who exactly was this guy, that he could make William Cobb, who was in a state of rage, submit to him?

"You...who are you?"

Xu Fu turned his head away, looking absent-minded as he spoke.

I'll let you know when the time comes.

"Given that you are fairly honest, I will give you two choices: First, take off your mask and become my subordinate, serving me from now on; second, continue the conversation as we are now, with me asking questions and you answering."
