"Elder sister, wait!" Laziel stopped her. All eyes instantly turned to him, even Ida, who was trembling slightly. Laziel’s face flushed slightly, and he scratched the back of his head. "Um..." he glanced at the trembling men. "Can you move them to another place? We still need this area to sleep." Nyra cracked a smile. Her gaze was meaningful when she looked at her younger brother. "My apologies, I got too excited for a moment." "Help me move them," She told her younger brother. Laziel hesitated briefly, but he still did as she ordered him. He dragged the two people near the door. Others followed. Zerra had an inkling about what Nyra was going to do. She secretly wondered whether they would still have an appetite for dinner after that. Should she suggest dinner first? But Nyra looked so excited, so... just let her be. "Now, you can choose to talk obediently or go the hard way," Nyra smiled at them, holding the large knife and waving it off. If the knife fell down, undoubtedly it would chop down on their flesh. Zerra was a little troubled when she saw her sister’s appearance. She scratched her head. Nyra resembled a villain more than a protagonist with her current expression. "Tell me." Nyra demanded. "All the deeds Henry Brown and his family have committed!" They were trembling when they saw the large knife in Nyra’s hand, yet they were quite resilient. They kept their mouths shut under her intimidation. Until she lost her patience. Her knife grazed their skin lightly, then she stabbed their limbs, making them groan in pain as blood flowed out like a waterfall, coating the floor red. The men still refused to answer. Even Zerra began to have a little admiration of their unwavering loyalty. What a pair of capable underlings! Of course, the admiration didn’t last long. Nyra’s patience was diminishing little by little. Thus, as her patience reached the limit, she chopped down. The men’s limbs were severed from their bodies. The picture was gruesome. Nerith and Alaric exchanged looks, a little surprised, but they didn’t stop Nyra. Others were also quite shocked by her ruthless method. However, soon they calmed down. It was a bit inhumane, but such a practice had been commonplace in the apocalypse now. Of course, they still had their principles. They wouldn’t harm others without them provoking their people first. During the gruesome scene, Cassias covered her eyes with his large hands. It made her a little awkward because she didn’t reciprocate his gestures. Her hands covered Laziel’s eyes. Although she had to use some kind of wooden board because he was taller than her. She didn’t know whether he found such scenes too gruesome. Anyway, he wasn’t looking at what Nyra was doing during the process. Instead, he was looking at her. "I-I am fine," Zerra gulped and muttered. Soon, her attention was distracted by Nyra again. She listened to her elder sister interrogating the two men. They finally relented, wishing for quick death. It was unknown where Nyra had gotten the mutated plants from. She scattered some kind of mutated plant powder on the wounds, making the blood coagulate and stop flowing. Laziel pursed his lips at Zerra’s action. He suddenly cleared his throat. "Let me help elder sister." With that, he walked back toward Nyra, volunteering to help her sprinkle powder from mutated plants. His younger sister didn’t want him to witness such a gruesome image because she didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable. However, as a younger brother, he also didn’t feel well when others were merely watching as Nyra worked alone. Still, living in the capital was quite peaceful, and they most likely had never witnessed such a sight directly. They were still in their stunned phase, having a little debate with themselves. When they saw Laziel helping his sister, Sean suddenly moved. Others also followed. "Give the knife to me, Miss Nyra. I can do that too!" "Yes, let us interrogate them and find out what is happening to our teammate." They took the knife from Nyra and hung it around the two men’s heads with an intimidating stance. Zerra was about to step forward, along with Nerith and Alaric, but Nyra suddenly looked up to them. "We haven’t eaten dinner yet. It’s better to prepare them now so we can get our fill once the interrogation ends." She hesitated for a bit before nodding. A soft smile formed on her face as she stared at her elder sister. "Alright, sister." "Mom, let’s prepare dinner." She grasped her mom’s hand and turned away. Even though Nerith didn’t say anything, she had been in a daze for a while. Her face was a little pale. It might have been her first time experiencing something . Yet, she still stepped forward and intended to help. Nyra must have noticed this and deliberately found a reason to send her away. As the pair of mother and daughter prepared for dinner, Zerra’s attention was still on the interrogation process. She wanted to know what had happened at the Moon Cloud City base. Her premonition told her it had something to do with the people Henry had recruited from that residential area–the one they had asked for help when there was the fog. "So, it began when these people Henry brought back had settled in? A lot of people were missing?" Nyra knitted her eyebrows. Fresh chapters posted on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 There was no need to guess where those people had gone, especially when most of them were ability users. "Yes." The tall man groaned in pain. "Mr. Brown did it secretly at first. He tried a human ability user’s crystal core. Gradually, he craved it more once he gained success in improving his power." "Mr. Brown is one of the strongest people on the base right now. Now thinking about it, these people from the village residential area should be the ones telling him the benefit of absorbing a fellow human’s crystal cores." The other one added numbly. "These people were quite unstable, but their power grew rapidly." The tall man’s explanation was accompanied by occasional wince and hiss of pain. "Do you know the Valez family’s condition?" Nyra asked. "They suffered a lot. Two weeks ago, the Brown family declared a challenge to themselves. They will fight ut out until only one of them remains standing."
