Chapter 306
“Get in the car!” Henry shouted. Brian could only do as he was told. Soon, his hands were tied, and his head was covered with a black hood. He could not see what was happening and only felt the car moving. He was a little flustered. He felt that it was a case of gang-on-gang violence. After some time, he was pushed out of the car. When the hood was removed, he saw that he was in a basement with no windows. Bang!
Henry pushed him to the ground with much force. “Henry, let’s talk things out nicely. Why are you looking for me?” asked Brian. “Tell me, why did you let the old man kill Trevor? Who ordered it?” Henry went straight to the point. Brian’s eyes flashed, and he attempted to play dumb. “What old man? What Trevor? Henry, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Henry turned up his lips, and his underlings immediately rushed forward.
Brian didn’t know what was poured over him. Brian suddenly felt that something was wrong. He immediately lay down on the ground and writhed around. He started scratching his body frantically, but he could only reach some places with his hands tied “This is an itching powder. When you remember who instigated it, it won’t itch anymore,” Henry said calmly. One of his underlings immediately carried over a small table with fruits and melon seeds. Henry crossed his legs and started to munch on the melon seeds.
“Itchy, it’s too itchy, it’s so itchy… Henry, there’s no bad blood between us. Don’t treat me like this. You must be mistaken. I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just a businessman. My only bad hobby is that I throw parties. But Henry, those girls came willingly. We didn’t coerce any of them… itchy, it’s too itchy. Henry, please let me off…” It was so itchy that Brian was squirming on the floor in hopes of relieving the itch in areas he couldn’t reach. Henry looked up slightly and glanced at Brian with a cold smile. He continued to snack on the melon seeds. He shouted, “Put on a movie!”
With that, some of his underlings put on a movie. The movie started playing when they projected it on the wall. Henry was engrossed in the movie and he completely ignored Brian. Soon enough, Brian had
scratched so hard his skin started peeling. The moment his skin peeled, he felt a sense of satisfaction momentarily. It became itchy and painful immediately after. Brian couldn’t take it anymore and tried his best to appease Henry. “Henry, I beg of you. I really don’t know who is this old man you’re talking about…” Henry felt that Brian was too noisy and pointed with his lips at his underlings.
Immediately, one of them poured another handful of itching powder on Brian. Initially, Brian thought that Henry had let him off. He heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Thank you, Henry!” When he realized they had poured itching powder on him, everything felt even itchier. He looked at Henry in shock. “Henry, you… you…” Henry looked at Brian and sneered. “As compared to how ruthless you guys are, I’m already being very benevolent. However, I heard that if it itches long enough, you will itch to death. If you still refuse to confess, don’t blame me if you eventually itch to death.”
“Hiss…” He kept scratching even when his skin was peeling. As he scratched, the pain became unbearable. Finally, after another ten minutes, he couldn’t take it anymore. He confessed, “I’ll tell you everything, Henry. Please make this itch stop. I really can’t take it anymore.” “If you tell me everything faster, you might itch lesser,” Henry said slowly. The itching powder that his sister-in-law had developed was really effective, In the past, they had to do much more to get a confession out of someone. Now, this was a lot easier. Brian looked at Henry’s indifferent expression. He knew that Henry was a tough nut to crack. He knew that if he kept quiet, the other party would not let him off.
He could only say, “I say, I’ve had some dark history. I also know a few people from the underworld. Sometimes, everyone will join in on some jobs. For this job, I was pulled in by a friend. If you ask me who the mastermind is, I have no idea.” “Indeed, I was the one who went to look for that old man. For this job, the employer paid me 150 thousand dollars, and I paid him 30 thousand dollars.” Henry threw a photo of Lily Sox at Brian’s face and asked, “Is that her?” Brian shook his head. “I don’t know. I’ve never seen the employer.” Henry threw another photo of Yechiel Xander in front of Brian. “Is that him?”
“Henry, I really don’t know. Please, I’m already in such a bad state. If I knew him, wouldn’t I have told you? Please help me relieve this itch. This is too much agony…” Brian begged as he scratched. Henry ignored Brian and continued to eat melon seed’s while watching a drama. He was entirely engrossed in the drama and laughed as he watched. Brian endured it for two minutes before he couldn’t take it anymore and confessed, “It’s this woman!” “What’s her name?” Henry asked. “Her name is Lily Sox. She’s the second lady of the Zeller family,” said Brian. “How long have you known each other?” Henry asked. “We didn’t know each other before,” said Brian. He couldn’t simply spill out everything!

He was actually Yechiel’s underling. He had known Yechiel and Lily for more than 20 years. When he met Yechiel and Lily, he was only 17 years old. It was when he had just joined the underworld. Back then, he was young and fearless. That year, he was the one responsible for the kidnapping at the airport. He had received nearly 1 million dollars from that transaction. Back then, properties were cheap. He spent f00 thousand dollars on a villa in the central area. He sold it for over 30 million dollars two years ago and bought the current villa. He even earned a few million dollars from this sale and purchase.
When Henry heard that Brian did not know Lily before this, he continued munching on melon seeds while watching the drama. This was a psychological tactic. If they had known each other before, getting a confession from him wouldn’t take more than two minutes. In the end, after three minutes, Brian still did not mention anything. Henry pointed with his lips. One of the underlings went up and poured some powder on Brian. As soon as the powder was poured, Brian instantly felt the itch stop. He was still feeling the itch in some areas. He immediately said, “Henry, please give me more. It’s still itchy.” Henry’s underling poured a little more. Brian felt a lot better. He sat on the ground and heaved a long sigh of relief. As he came to, he asked Henry, “Henry, can I leave now?”
Henry looked at Brian in amusement. “There is a life at stake, yet you’re thinking of leaving?” Brian immediately felt that something was amiss. He asked warily, “What are you planning to do?” Henry raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly, “Don’t worry, I don’t want your life. I might need you for
verification in the future. You can choose not to cooperate, just know that I have ways to make you cooperate.” With that, Henry stood up and walked out. When he reached the stairs, he turned to look at Brian. “Everything that you said has been recorded. There’s no point in covering up for Lily. My advice to you is to be a smart person.” With that, he went up the stairs and left. As soon as he left, he immediately called Julian. “Sir, Brian has confessed. It’s Lily!”
