Chapter 166 Torture Part 1

"Gak," I uttered as I inhaled the water that was being poured over me. I then opened my eyes, to see a black cloth blocking my eyes and my face as well. I then tried to retaliate, but my limbs were tied up. I noticed that I was in a chair, tied up, and my body was being pulled down by the gravity, which meant that the chair was knocked over to the ground.

The water kept pouring to my face, and I kept trying to untie myself. I kept trying to inhale for some air, but only water was inhaled.

"Awk," my nose hurts, my forehead near the eyebrows hurts a lot, and I could feel that the oxygen in my lungs won't last long. It was hell, 1 second felt like eternity, and the thought of not wanting to die was prominent as well. As if I became a normal human once again.

Then the water stopped at the very last second, and I was pulled back up, and the cloth slid down my face.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough," I then coughed up violently the water inside my lungs out of my body.

And then gasped for air, and looked up, only to be greeted by a strong light. I wanted to raise my hand to block the light, but my hands were tied.

I then narrowed my eyes, as my eyes hadn't adjusted to the brightness. And a silhouette of a sturdy, tall man blocked the light.

"Did you sleep well, Brother Alex?" said the man who blocked the light. It didn't take me a second to figure out who it was.

"That was kind of you all, to wake me up with a gallon of water," I said sarcastically as I looked over to the side. There are 2 or 3 men around me, one is carrying a gallon of water, another one is carrying a steel pipe, and the last one isn't carrying anything.

And I was in a forest, a dense forest, causing the strong light to be blocked. The forest was silent, no crickets nor any animal sound, only the constant engine sounded from the source of the strong light, the minibus that we, me and Souichiro and his men, came with.

I looked down, to find chains were binding my limbs and my stomach to the chair.

"Alex, why did you approach my family?" Souichiro asked as he blocked the light. I then looked up to him and smirked.

"What else? Your wife, of course." I said. He then punched me on the nose, which made the chair to lean back for a bit. Then he punched me again, and again, and again, at the same spot as well. At the first punch, I knew that my nose was broken, as sharp, stinging pain on my nose, and my eyes were swollen as well.

His punch carried strength, and with that kind of body, I wouldn't be sure if I could take the punches any long. When he stopped, I was a bloody mess, blood flown from my nose, and my shirt was drenched in blood.

I couldn't breathe from my nose which no one would want such sensation. And my eyes were heavy. But I can't afford to close my eyes, because I need to be awake and breathe from my mouth, if not I won't get the chance to face my dark side.

Even though I was in such condition, I could still think with a clear mind.

"Tell me the truth, brat!" he said fiercely as he grabbed my collars with a hand and pulled my body towards him. I then raised my head and looked at his face.

"... I am telling you the truth," I said as I smirked. His face became fierce, and he threw my collars back and looked at his men.

"Break his arm,"

"Yes, Don," the man who was carrying the pipe then stepped forward and raised his pipe. He then swung the pipe with his full strength at my arm.

Bang

"MMMM!" I gritted my teeth together. I then looked at my arm slowly, it was purple-colored. I tried moving my fingers, but sharp pain stopped me from moving my fingers. I could hold out this pain for a period of time, but if he kept me alive for a long time, I know I would lose my mind. Because I would pass out most of the time, but I won't get such luxury with Souichiro here.

But I rather go through to this trial than losing my mind in the future that could possibly lead the girls and my people to death.

"Now, I want you to tell your men to follow my orders from now on," he said as his eyes glimmered with ambitions.

"S-sorry, but my men will only follow me, not anyone else," I said, while I was sweating cold sweat as I tried to bear the pain. Souichiro's face became ugly again and ordered his men.

"Break his other arm!" he shouted as his face became fiercer. Sure enough, the man who was carrying the steel pipe didn't give any mercy.

Bang

"MMMM!" I gritted my teeth once more. My brain was telling me to pass out, but I know that if I passed out, he would surely wake me up with water or pain. My body started to shudder as my nerves system just sending sharp pain to my brain.

"My patience is limited, brat. Tell your men to follow my orders, or maybe, tell them to surrender their weapons and your wives as well." he said as he grinned evilly.

"Hehehe," cackled his men around me excitedly.

"Ptooey! How about fucking each other?" I spitted on Souichiro's face. A spit of saliva and blood slid down from Souichiro's cheek, and his eyes became fiery, and he quickly swiped the saliva from his cheek.

"Do whatever you want with him. Be sure to untie the chains and take the chains and the chair back to the minibus. We don't want any evidence left behind. I'll wait for you guys at the minibus." Souichiro then turned around and walked to the minibus.

Then the man carrying the steel pipe swung the pipe towards both of my legs, breaking both of my legs.

I was exhausted mentally and physically, I couldn't think straight anymore, even though I was a god. Desperation was starting to bloom on my mind.

"Now, are you going to tell your men to obey the Don or not? And are you going to give us your women?" said one of the man.

"... Use your Don's ass, how about that?" I uttered from the gap of my teeth as I gritted my teeth, bearing the horrendous pain, and giving them the best mocking grin I could make.

The man then knocked my chair down, which the sudden movement made my nerves system to send horrendous pain to my brain. Before I opened my mouth, my face was covered with black cloth.

"Let's see how long till you break," then water was poured to my face. I tried closing my mouth, but the water flowed into my nose. My mind was in chaos, and my first reaction was to try to break free from the bind. But the result was more pain.

"I bet he's going to break in 5 minutes,"

"Pfft, he could withstand all of that, so I would bet he's going to break in 10 minutes,"

"How about this? Whoever got his time the nearest, he would get to pick the woman first." They conversed as one of them kept pouring water to my face. Of course, this made the three men to be enthusiastic in their dealings.

"Good idea, looking at those beauties' faces made me want to go back and have fun with them. Then, I'll bet that he's going to beg for us to stop in 5 minutes,"

"Fuck off, I'll be taking that dignified woman with huge boobs. I'll bet in 10 minutes."

"Then, I'll bet in 15 minutes," just as they finished their conversation, the gallon of water was empty, and I immediately coughed up the water inside my breathing system. As I was coughing, the black cloth slid down my face to the ground.

My energy was spent at that point, plus the fact that I needed to breath from my mouth made things worse. I thought that there would be no more waterboarding, and it turned out to be true.

"Shit, we're out of water," the man carrying the gallon said as he looked through the transparent plastic.

"Hang him by the tree with the chain, c'mon," the man carrying the steel pipe beckoned as he put down the pipe.

"Won't he run if we untie the chain?" the man who didn't carrying anything asked carefully.

"Look at him! Do you think he has the energy or the means to run? His limbs are broken, his legs are broken. What the fuck are you worried about? C'mon, we need to avenge our fellow brother as well." he said as he stood my chair up.

Then the three of them worked together to untie the chains binding me. And their movement was sudden and rough, making me to flinch in pain as they tried to untie the chains. They then threw me to the ground as soon as they finished untying the chains.

They then tied up my hand with the chains tight and threw the other end of the chain through a branch. Then a man pulled the chain from the other end, causing my hand to be pulled and my body as well.

The pain woke me up, but I didn't have the energy to react to the pain, so I just kept silent. My eyes were half closed, and everything was vivid for me. As I was dragged through the ground by the chains, thoughts kept creeping through my mind.

Why did I accept this mission?

Wouldn't time solve this problem for me?

How come I know that I will change in the future to the extreme?

Why am I so reckless?

But I understand looking to the past wouldn't make things better nor it would do anything, it would only make things worse. And it was my selfish decision to do so.

Then my body was hanging by the branch of the tree, struck by the lights of the headlight of the minibus.

"Don't kill him. Let him die slowly." said Souichiro from the minibus' side as he stepped out from the minibus.

"Alright, Don. You heard him, don't kill him." said one of the three men.
