Chapter 1843: Chapter 1846: Nathan Lucas II’s Revenge
In the cold and damp cellar, a man with a crippled right leg is bound heavily by iron chains to the stone wall.
His body is covered with countless whip marks, and his crippled right leg has been broken multiple times, treated again, and shattered anew.
The knee, originally salvaged through emergency treatment, is now full of shattered bones.
With so many tiny fragments, even the most skilled surgeon would need over a dozen operations to completely clear them.
And even then, this leg is forever ruined.
"Aidan Lucas... What you’re doing is illegal... You... you have no right to use private punishment on me!"
Robbie Bright, after his initial pleas went unanswered, gradually resorted to oaths and curses.
But no matter how he cursed or swore, Aidan Lucas seemed oblivious, only torturing him more cruelly each time.
Robbie Bright, Ross Bright...
Nathan Lucas II would never forget that one day, it was this man who orchestrated that kidnapping.
Ross Bright, merely a gang leader back then, committed crimes against him when he was still a child.
He had said, as long as he got out, he would return it a thousandfold!
"Gag him." Aidan Lucas ordered in a low voice, as Robbie Bright’s pig-like wails were simply nauseating.
Cooper I calmly stuffed Robbie Bright’s mouth with a cloth, and the world fell silent.
"Is everything ready?" he asked in a whisper.
"Master, everything is ready." Cooper II and Cooper III brought up the torture tools Aidan Lucas had just ordered.
Three basins of scalding water were placed in front of Robbie Bright.
The white steam rose steadily from the basins.
At a glance, it was clearly boiling water at a high temperature.
Robbie Bright was scared out of his wits, baring his teeth and trying to shout for mercy.
But with the cloth already gagging him, he could only make ’Ah ah ah ah’ sounds, unable to utter any pleas for mercy.
In less than half a second, the stench of urine spread through the air in the confined cellar.
Robbie Bright, the former Underworld King of B City, was so scared that he wet himself without anything even being done to him.
Aidan Lucas’s face darkened, his eyes growing colder.
"Douse—"
At his command, the three henchmen standing by immediately lifted the basins of boiling water and threw them, one by one, in Robbie Bright’s face.
"Ah—ah—ah ah ah ah—"
Even with his mouth gagged, in moments of extreme pain, Robbie Bright’s screams pierced through the cloth, crying out loud.
The piercing and struggling screams nearly lifted the roof.
Scalded by the boiling water, his flesh screamed in pain, and after a few cries, he fainted away.
From head to toe, his skin was red and swollen, deformed by the burns, with blisters erupting from his skin.
He was already unrecognizable.
"When he wakes up, send him back."
Nathan Lucas II cast a light glance, not feeling any cruelty.
Heh, cruel?
Compared to what this man planned to do to him as a child, this wasn’t cruel at all.
If he hadn’t escaped back then, and if his corpse was found, it would probably be like this, scalded beyond recognition.
So he said, he is always fair.
Just as Ross Bright had intended to handle him back then, so he would handle Ross Bright.
At this thought, Aidan Lucas turned his gaze to the woman on the other side of the stone wall, who was already too scared to speak, almost paralyzed with fear.
"Evelyn Lucas, having dealt with Ross Bright, you’re next. Tell me... how should we settle our accounts?"
