Chapter 108: The Thief and the Saber Master
After capturing two of the criminals who followed Gina to the abandoned house, we had them tied up back to back and removed their hoods to see their information.
We noticed that under their hoods, they had a little iron pin with the shape of a scorpion, which prompted us to start our interrogation.
"Are you guys members of the Crimson Scorpions?" I asked, but the two individuals looked to the side without saying a word.
"I mean. You have this pin on you... It’s kind of exposing you." I said, grabbing onto their small iron adornment.
"So what if we are? We own this district." Said the man, making me walk around to face him.
"You own the district? But this place is a shithole... Are you guys actually doing anything besides starving those people out there?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm.
The man sneered. "They are only giving us money for protection. The citizens can do whatever they want."
"Hmm, what a stupid answer," I said before slapping the man.
I tried holding my strength back, but it ended up being hard enough to draw some blood from the criminal’s mouth.
’I didn’t mean to hurt him like that, but whatever, he looks like he can take it...’ I thought.
"You are not protecting these people from anything other than yourselves. I recommend you guys start talking because my queen demon spider companion won’t be so nice asking questions." I told the pair, who gazed at Vespera and saw her sneering at them indifferently.
