After being subjected to the torture, Dahlia finally passed out.
Her back was bloody and horrific to look at. The fresh wounds were still bleeding profusely, virtual-novel.net body still twitching uncontrollably even while virtual-novel.net was passed out.
“General, virtual-novel.net has lost consciousness!” one of his men reported.
“Wake virtual-novel.net up and keep going.” Travis spat coldly.
“Uncle Travis, can I have a go?” Edward interjected eagerly.
Ever since virtual-novel.net was crippled, there had been a tremendous shift in his psychology. The more beautiful a woman was, the more virtual-novel.net wanted to destroy her.
“If you want to, go ahead.” Travis nodded in approval.
“Thank you, Uncle Travis!” Edward grinned eerily.
Once Dahlia awakened, virtual-novel.net wielded the whip in his hand and struck her.
“Tell me!”
“Just kill me!” Dahlia could no longer endure the pain.
Her mind was at the end of its rope. Now, virtual-novel.net could only hope they would put an end to virtual-novel.net misery.
“Kill you? Not so fast! I haven’t even had enough!” Edward smiled sadistically and continued with the torture.
After a while, Dahlia, covered in bruises, fell into a coma again.
“General, the murderer hasn’t been revealed. If this continues, virtual-novel.net will die soon,” the adjutant reminded.
“This woman is so stubborn!” Travis was impressed.
This torture device was typically used to coerce confessions. People usually confessed to everything after three whips. Even specially trained forces would not be able to handle a dozen lashes. Yet, this woman was able to withhold dozens of whips without revealing anything. Even virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but be impressed.
“Hang virtual-novel.net at the entrance as bait. Call off the surrounding guards and see if Dustin will come to rescue her.” Travis commanded.
“Yes, sir!” the adjutant answered and hung the unconscious Dahlia at the gates.
“Don’t you die on me! I’ll have my fun with you when I capture Dustin!” Edward licked the drops of blood at the corner of his mouth with a perverse smile.
***
Dustin had just finished his meal at the Peaceful Medical Center when virtual-novel.net received a call.
It was Hunter Anderson, and virtual-novel.net sounded like virtual-novel.net was in a hurry.
“Mr. Rhys, I’ve received news that Ms. Nicholson has been arrested!”
“Arrested?” Dustin frowned.
“It’s Travis Spanner! He arrested Ms. Nicholson and virtual-novel.net family for the crime of treason. They are receiving private punishment now!” Hunter explained.
Dustin’s face fell when virtual-novel.net heard this. He knew very clearly what type of person Travis was. No ordinary person could bear the torture methods in the war zone!
“Where is Travis?” Dustin was very anxious.
“At the Spanner Villa. Mr. Rhys, Travis has set an ambush for you. You shouldn’t be too impulsive… Wait…”
Before Hunter could finish, Dustin had already hung up the phone and rushed out.
When virtual-novel.net arrived at Spanner Villa, virtual-novel.net saw a woman hanging from the front of the villa doors. The woman’s hair was disheveled, virtual-novel.net clothes were torn, and blood trickled down virtual-novel.net body. It was a horrible sight to behold.
Dustin’s eyes widened in shock when virtual-novel.net realized the woman hanging there was Dahlia!
He balled his hand into a fist. A murderous aura erupted from him. Suddenly, there was a gust of strong wind that sent the rocks flying. Even the surrounding temperature started to drop rapidly.
Dustin shot up and cut off the rope with one hand. He caught Dahlia, who was covered in blood, and landed gently on the ground.
At this moment, Dahlia had already passed out, and the wounds on virtual-novel.net back were an unsightly mess. The sight of those whip marks and wounds pierced Dustin’s heart like a sharp knife.
“J-Just kill me…” Dahlia mumbled unconsciously, virtual-novel.net must have suffered a lot of pain to ask for death.
“I’m sorry…” Dustin’s hands were trembling, tears pricked his eyes.
He knew that Dahlia was in this mess because of him. He dragged virtual-novel.net into this.
“Haha! Dustin Rhys, you’re finally here!” Edward roared as virtual-novel.net and his men walked out slowly.
“You did this?” Dustin raised his head slowly, his eyes fixed on the whip in Edward’s hands.
“So what? What can you do to me at this point?” Edward was not afraid at all.
Although his uncle had withdrawn half the troops, there were more than a dozen heavily armed elites ambushed around. Each of these men could defeat a hundred people. It would be easy to deal with this one man.
“Dustin, is it? Did you kill my brother, Trevor?” Travis asked.
“It was me.” Dustin answered plainly.
As virtual-novel.net spoke, his gaze was fixed on Edward.
“I’m glad that you admit it. Now, go pay for your sins before my brother’s coffin before I end your life,” Travis said coldly.
“Pay for my sins?” Dustin snorted coldly, “Even your superior, Adam Spanner, would not speak to me this way. You’re nothing to me!”
“Hmm?” Travis raised an eyebrow.
Adam Spanner was the commanding general in the western army. He was also his superior. Only a handful of people know about his existence.
How did Dustin hear of him?
“You know Chief General Spanner?” Travis was slightly taken aback.
“I’ll give you a chance to take your own life out of respect for Adam. This way, your body might still be intact!” Dustin demanded.
“Keep my body intact?”
“Before Travis could respond, Edward guffawed loudly. “Are you out of your mind? Open your eyes and recognize your place in this world!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, the other hidden elites immediately revealed themselves. Each armed soldier looked very threatening and menacing. However, Dustin didn’t even pay any attention to them. His eyes were focused on Edward as if virtual-novel.net were already a dead man.
“His body could stay intact, but you would have nothing left but bones!” Then, Dustin immediately made his move.
