Kyson stared at his bloodied shirt and responded, âI lost count.
I just recall two vines breaking.
â
Two vines?
Given its high flexibility, a vine could endure hundreds of lashes before snapping.
This time, Mekhi showed extreme cruelty toward Kyson.
Merely suspecting him of drug theft led to such brutality, despite them being half-brothers.
Fueled by old animosities, Sonny taunted Kyson deliberately.
âYouâre just as resilient as ever.
I recall torturing you for a full day and night to pry out that secret.
â
He referred to Kysonâs arrest for stealing the S404 Virus.
This was a tarnished chapter in Kysonâs history.
Kysonâs expression darkened instantly, and he retorted, âYouâre also quite resilient.
I beat you all night in the dungeon, but you held your ground.

âYou!â
They had a history of torturing each other.
As the past was brought up, the air in the car immediately turned tense.
Meanwhile, Nathan glanced at the both of them.
âStill in the mood for bickering, I see.
Weâre almost at the interrogation room.
How about I suspend both of you and give you a good beating? While you two recover in the hospital, you can build a friendship.
â
Sonnyâs face paled.
âNo! I donât want to be friends with him! If it werenât for his help, Iâd settle the score with him today.
His voice trailed off, fading as he spoke.
Kyson displayed a contemptuous grin.
Nathan broke the silence and said earnestly, âI worry Mekhi wonât relent after losing his drugs.
Heâll likely have his man keep an eye on us.
For now, I must place you in the interrogation room.
Iâve arranged a bed sheet and a quilt there.
This issue will be resolved in a few days, and youâll regain your freedom.
Concerning your injuries, a military doctor will discreetly provide you with medical attention.
â
Kyson listened attentively and then shook his head.
âI donât need a doctor.
I donât want Mekhi to get suspicious.
Besides, these wounds are not deep.
Iâm okay.
Iâll tend to them after Iâm released.
â
Since he insisted, Nathan agreed.
After all, they both underwent rigorous training and werenât particularly fragile.
âAlright, Iâll leave you a medicine kit.
You can treat your injuries yourself.
â
Kyson nodded.
Thinking about Lucinda, he lowered his gaze and inquired softly, âWas it Lucinda who told you to save me?â
Nathan glanced at him and responded, âNo, sheâs unwell and resting at home.
Sheâs even unaware of this.
â
âSheâs not feeling well? Why?â Kyson asked anxiously.
Nathan frowned and stared at him calmly.
âSheâs not ill.
Itâs our private business and none of your business.
