Chapter 19:
"Come on, old man! Why have you gone silent? Weren't you just saying you'd kill me?!" Lin Fan sneered, cracking the whip in the air with a sharp sound that sent chills down the spine. "Are you ready for some fun? I won't let you get bored for even a second tonight! Hahaha!" His laughter was dark, mocking, and utterly deranged.
"I... I'll kill you! I'll kill you if you dare touch my daughter, you bastard! I'm not afraid of you!" Xiao Ming spat, his breathing labored due to the punch he had taken. His injuries and broken ribs only worsened, sending waves of pain through his body.
"Yes! That's the spirit! This makes breaking you all the more enjoyable, hehe!" Lin Fan chuckled, a sadistic grin stretching across his face. He turned toward a shelf lined with various torture tools, running his fingers over them one by one. "Hmm… this one? Or maybe… this? Oh, what about this?" His voice carried an eerie excitement as he carefully considered his options, while Xiao Ming finally began to feel true fear creeping in.
"Alright, I think we'll start with this!" Lin Fan declared, picking up a metal clamp before stepping toward Xiao Ming once more. "Time to start whimpering, old man. This is definitely going to hurt!" Without hesitation, he placed the clamp on one of Xiao Ming's toenails and, with a single flick of his wrist, ripped it clean off. Blood dripped from Xiao Ming's trembling toe.
"AAAHH!!" A scream of pure agony tore from Xiao Ming's throat. Sweat poured down his body as his breathing became erratic. He instinctively tried to pull back, but the chains binding him held firm.
"One down, nine more to go! Give me more of those sweet, pitiful screams!" Lin Fan's eerie gaze bore into him as he positioned the clamp over another toenail. "And don't worry—this is just the first tool. We have all night!"
"You... bastard… I'll… kill you…" Xiao Ming muttered weakly, but Lin Fan didn't even acknowledge his words. With another swift movement, he tore off the second nail, his face remaining indifferent to Xiao Ming's suffering. The pain intensified, and with it, Xiao Ming's terror grew. This was only the beginning.
"Hehehe, that's the willpower I love! The stronger it is, the better it feels to break! But don't worry—I'll make you beg me to kill you, then beg me to let you live, and then… I'll start all over again!" Lin Fan's laughter was filled with pure madness as he continued his work, pulling off one nail after another.
Meanwhile, in the corner of the cell, Yu Kuan stood watching. His expression remained cold and calculating. Having witnessed countless interrogations, he was no stranger to torture. The horrific scene before him did nothing to shake him. Hmm… this Lin Fan truly enjoys inflicting pain. He took great pleasure in humiliating my son before, too. It seems he delights in the suffering of others. This… this is his true passion.
He continued analyzing Lin Fan's character without emotion. This is his twisted side. He despises defiance but seems to appreciate intelligence. Hmm… interesting. And when it comes to his subordinates, from what I've seen so far, he's generous—almost friendly—even protective, as long as they show him absolute loyalty. This works in my favor. If I tread carefully and never oppose him, I can rise alongside him.
Back to Lin Fan, who had already removed most of Xiao Ming's toenails by now. He placed the clamp on the final nail, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
"This is fun, isn't it?" He smirked as he yanked out the last nail without hesitation. "Tell me—are you enjoying yourself?"
"AAAH… you… bastard…!" Xiao Ming whimpered, tears welling in his eyes. The pain was beyond unbearable. His body trembled violently, muscles spasming, his throat parched from constant screaming.
"That's what I wanted to hear!" Lin Fan laughed, tossing the clamp aside and picking up a small, razor-sharp knife. "Now, let's move on to something a little more… exciting!"
Pressing the tip of the blade against Xiao Ming's arm, he began carving thin, shallow lines into his skin. Xiao Ming's agonized cries grew louder, his body writhing in pain.
After carving a few lines into both of Xiao Ming's arms, Lin Fan withdrew the knife and spoke in a taunting tone. "Did you know, old man? Your daughter… Xiao Mi… she was absolutely delicious. And oh, so pathetic."
Xiao Ming's eyes widened further, burning red with rage. The moment he heard Lin Fan mention his daughter, he knew—there was no hope left. Any faint glimmer of optimism that she might have been spared was gone.
But the unbearable pain left him unable to even form words, and Lin Fan didn't give him the chance to recover. He pressed the blade against Xiao Ming's chest, carving jagged lines as fresh blood dripped down his torso. "She accepted my offer so easily, so foolishly—without even verifying whether I was telling the truth!"
Xiao Ming's screams only grew louder, but so did Lin Fan's twisted enjoyment. With slow, meticulous precision, he continued carving into Xiao Ming's chest. A cruel grin formed on his lips as the image took shape—Xiao Mi, in his embrace, his face beaming with wicked amusement.
"I told her that if she became my concubine, I wouldn't harm you. If only you could have seen her expression in that moment… hehehe… she looked so… relieved!"
Lin Fan cast a look of cold disdain at Xiao Ming, his thoughts dripping with mockery. What a miserable excuse for a man. Is this really the heir of a top-tier clan? Hahahaha!
As he continued carving with his knife, Xiao Ming writhed and thrashed like a helpless worm, his suffering now both physical and psychological.
"How amusing, isn't it?" Lin Fan whispered mockingly, his grin widening. "How could I leave my victim after I promised to torture them?!"
