48 Take a bath- Mulan’s report

“… Ahh, I wonder what it would feel like to bang that girlfriend of yours. Tell me, does she like rubbers

or raw?”

“If you dare touch Celine!” he groaned.

“A dying man still has the lungs to care for others? haha… Let me tell you something, I’ll be leading men to wipe out your Drill faction after I’m done cooking you.

As for Celine. Although master wants her dead, I’ll eat her first before sending her to you, but I doubt master would want you two to reunite in hell. He would probably send her to an enemy’s brothel. After all, she’s a sl*t. Hahaha…”

Hearing that, fourth brother’s heart shook. Hurting Celine would mean everything he had worked for would be in vain. He knew he would die no matter what, so he ignored himself and begged for his girlfriend’s life.

“Please, please don’t, I’m sorry for killing your sister, it was an accident.”

Tenth brother’s face froze for a moment before it turned sinister. “When did apologies start working in this country? Why am I not aware? Second brother, are you aware?” The tenth brother turned to look at the gate.

Second brother with a cold face was pushing a cart with a large pot of piping hot water into the cell. “Apologies and regrets are alien words in ‘Paradise in hell”.” The second brother replied.

“Fourth brother, you heard that. Your luck is over. I wonder why master had left you alive for so long. You can have your bath now, your bathing water is ready.”

The tenth brother pointed at the large pot with dense vapor escaping from it. His lips had a smirk playing on them.

Number Ten and number four had always been enemies. Their hatred for each other dated back to high school. Even after they became Maverick’s people, the two remained each other’s nemesis. 1 Number four didn’t blink before he raped and killed number ten’s sister and claimed she was killed by their enemies. Although number ten knew, he couldn’t report to Maverick because he had no evidence.

Ever since then, his hatred for number four tripled and that was why the minute Maverick decided it was time to get rid of number four, number ten immediately exchanged his task with number three and took his place to torture number four.

Number four glanced at the foggy vapor and hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, you cannot do this to a human!” he screamed.

Number ten laughed mockingly, “You used to do worse than this to our enemies, remember? And you enjoyed it a lot. Especially when you push them into a pool of acid and watch them struggle until they

die.”

Number four needed to get out of this place even though it means attacking their loyalty. “Master will do the same to you. He will kill burn you alive when he finds out-”

Number ten immediately cut him off. “And that’s why I cut my coat according to my material. I don’t overstep my boundaries and I’m not as greedy as you. I’m content with what I’m given.”

He wasn’t a greedy type, nor the kind to betray his master. However, he has a secret that must not be revealed. The secret doesn’t call for his death, but because their master was unfathomable, he might just ask for his head when the secret is revealed.

So that is why number ten stopped number four from saying more.

The tenth brother scooped water from the pot and threw it at the fourth brother.

Soon, screams that could tear a house down filled the cell.

Meanwhile, Maverick left the underground prison and returned to his study room. The dark room behind the shelf led to the underground prison where he tortures his trusted subordinates who betrays him.

He gives them a terrible ending to remind them of what the result of betraying him would be.

“Mulan, say something, you’ve been like this since you came here. What is it?”

A woman in a red knee-length lace dress asked as she patted the crying Mulan on her lap.

The woman looked elegant and sophisticated. Her shoulder-length hair was let down. Her face glowed with youth even though she was almost fifty.

“Ma, it’s… it’s… ” Mulan hiccuped and burst into another round of sobbing.

“Calm down child, talk to me when you are ready.” The woman said, still soothing her back.

“Mom, what is going on?” A lady of equal beauty walked in from the entrance. She has a resemblance to the woman sitting. Just that she was younger and looked proud and arrogant.

Her white crop top over a pair of black shots complimented her sexy and men-hunting figure.

She has the type of body society calls ‘the hourglass figure! Her smooth, fair, straight long legs took her to the executive butter-colored couch in the extravagant sitting room. 2

Standing in front of the woman she called mother, she looked down at Mulan in a condescending manner, waiting for an answer.

“Gorgeous, you are back. How did your trip go?” The woman asked while checking out her daughter. “As always. Tiring… What is she doing here?” The lady gestured to Mulan with her jaw.

The woman sighed, “I also don’t know why she’s crying. She seems too hurt to say anything.”

“Does that mean my older brother has finally crushed her? I have been waiting for that good news for the longest time. I’m glad he finally did. Mom, I’ll be in my room now,” she snorted in disdain and strolled away with her shoulders straight and chin raised to the sky.

The woman stared after her daughter’s back and shook her head. “This girl is becoming more and more difficult to understand,’ she thought.

“Ma, I’m sorry for bothering you. I think I should leave now.” Mulan tried to get up but the woman pulled her back. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Don’t take her words to heart. You should already be used to her by now. The woman let go of her and smiled bitterly.
