Chapter 411 Threat
Qin Ran's memory has always been good.
So, among the things he held in Rat's arms, he saw some accessories that belonged to Peel, Harold, Coffin, Joanna.
Coupled with Herbert's pale face and Rat's panicked expression, Kieran grasped the crux of the matter almost instantly: Pierre and his party encountered serious trouble.
Although in the previous conversation, Kieran had not talked with Herbert about the whereabouts of several people.
But I also guessed roughly.
It must be done separately, narrowing the target to reduce the chance of being discovered.
However, with the belongings of Peel and others being sent, the result is naturally self-evident.
"Where is the person who delivered the things?"
Qin Ran asked.
"It's in the lobby!"
"he……"
Before Lat could finish speaking, Kieran was already striding towards the hall. Herbert followed closely behind. Lat, who was a little dazed because of worry, was a little slower.
In the hall, an elderly 'old man' stood there, leaning on a dark cane in his hand, but wearing a leather shawl.
The shawl was not only big, but also unusually thick. When it was draped over the 'old man', it directly blocked the opponent's whole body, making it difficult to detail.
When the 'old man' saw Qin Ran and Herbert walking in, he immediately showed a very uncomfortable smile.
The dry skin and black and yellow teeth "add bricks and tiles" to this smile.
And the low, hoarse voice made this smile extremely gloomy.
"Herbert, Your Excellency 2567, it's a great honor to meet you for the first time. You can call me Basso, or something else. For us, the name is just a code name!"
"However, it seems that the two of you have already received my 'gift'!"
"How about it, are you satisfied?"
Basso laughed again, that dry smile was really disgusting.
But both Kieran and Herbert looked at each other directly.
Kieran was inferring something about the other party, thinking about the "we" in the other party's mouth.
Herbert asked directly.
"Where are Peel, Baker, and my students?"
There was a tremor in the old scholar's voice.
Not like fear, but anger.
And then?
Such anger almost suffocated the old scholar.
Because Basso admitted what he did without hesitation.
"They're all fine now, although at first we were a bit unhappy, but after some 'communication', they learned how to get along with us - believe me, I'm a master at torture, just like you Nick Dynasty's research is mediocre!"
"The one called Harold, I broke his arm, and Coffin broke his leg, and when I was about to castrate them both, the one called Joanna stopped me, so I did it on her face She stabbed her, but her coachman and bodyguard guarded Xinqiu and yelled at me, so I had no choice but to cut off his tongue."
"As for your butler and that fool?"
"Don't worry, he became a little weak because of the cauterization and electric shock, and that fool is really difficult to deal with. I had to have him whipped 24 hours a day to keep him in a safe range."
"You see, I've told you what you want to know, can you tell me what I want to know?"
"Where is His Majesty's seal?"
"What is the unsealed spell?"
Basso saluted the old scholar while speaking.
Like an elegant nobleman.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party's mouth was full of viciousness.
"you!"
The old scholar's eyes widened, and a rare urge to kill a person appeared in his life.
And after hearing what happened to his son, Rat became shaky. When the father stood firm, a killing intent far surpassing that of the old scholar began to brew in his heart.
Basso felt these two killing intents, and it once again showed the disgusted smiles of the two people, with a look of disdain on its dry face.
"Your Excellency Herbert, your time is running out!"
"Before I left, I said that if I haven't returned within an hour, your housekeeper and students will inevitably suffer a new round of torture. Moreover, you can rest assured that compared with the upcoming torture, they Those who suffered were just appetizers.”
Basso spoke word by word.
Every word and sentence pierced Herbert's heart like a knife.
A heart-wrenching feeling spread throughout Herbert's body.
The old scholar looked at Basso in front of him, his lips parted slightly, and he couldn't say what was on his lips.
He wanted to say no.
Because, he knew that if the emperor of the Nick Dynasty was really unblocked, the whole world would be plunged into disaster.
By then millions, tens of millions of people will die.
Such a number is not worth mentioning compared with the few people like Peel.
But this is not a math problem.
but...
emotion!
For Peel, who is both a housekeeper and a good friend, the three hard-working students and the big guy who stayed by his side, and even the coachman and bodyguard of Joanna, Herbert couldn't ignore each other's life and death.
But Herbert couldn't do it by ignoring more innocent people.
Old scholars are in a dilemma.
Especially when Rat looked at him with pleading eyes, the old scholar's throat seemed to be blocked, and he was completely speechless.
"Is it difficult?"
"Herbert, do you need me to give you the courage to make up your mind?"
"I have a few under my command, but I have a soft spot for your student Joanna..."
Basso spoke again, his intentionally protracted tone was full of malice.
It forced the old man in front of him again.
And, completely addicted to it.
If it wasn't for having a more important task, it wouldn't mind making the process a little longer.
After all, such a 'high-quality' object is not easy to find.
Therefore, after the voice fell, it stared at Herbert's appearance, and it wanted to appreciate what kind of expression Herbert would show when he was cornered.
However, Basso is destined to be disappointed.
Not that Herbert was indifferent.
In fact, the old scholar was almost tortured to collapse at this time.
But what Basso saw was a young, indifferent face.
It was a look of indifference to the point of indifference, and it seemed that he didn't care about everything.
Basso didn't like this look very much.
"Your Excellency 2567, do you have anything to say?"
"or……"
"Are you going to make a decision for Lord Herbert?"
Squinting his eyes, Basso put the pressure on Qin Ran in a gloomy manner.
Then, Kieran disappeared from its field of vision.
Click it!
With a crisp sound, Basso felt a sharp pain in his knees, and his body knelt down involuntarily. A powerful palm pinched its celestial cap. The huge force made it feel like his head will be crushed.
Then, with the movement of the palm, it was picked up when it was kneeling on the ground.
It saw that young face again.
There was no change in his indifferent expression.
It's just that the palm holding it's sky spirit cover keeps tightening.
"Do you want me to decide for Herbert?"
Qin Ran asked.
The voice was cold, and the killing intent like a blade poured out like a wave.
Immediately, Basso was submerged.
