A faint smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "Stop being foolish. Wake up and tell me everything you know honestly. I might even give you a quick end."
"You have one minute to consider. After that, even if you regret it, it will be too late."
The man in black gritted his teeth, his pale face even tinged with blue.
"So what if you cured me of the poison?"
"I'll say it again, I don't know anything. Don't expect to get any useful information from me."
"You'd best kill me now, or you'll just end up frustrated."
Lin Xiaotian's smile grew even brighter. "What you just said is like a slap in your own face."
"You said I couldn't cure this poison, but I did. Now you tell me you absolutely won't say anything. Do you think I won't make you talk?"
Looking at Lin Xiaotian's smile, the man in black felt as if a demon was grinning at him.
A chill shot up from his heels to the crown of his head.
Fear began to spread within him.
His eyes were filled with panic.
If Lin Xiaotian could cure such a terrifying poison, what couldn't he do?
He was afraid that even if Lin Xiaotian made him wish he were dead, he would be helpless. His life and death would be out of his own control, and this torment turned into fear, spreading within his heart.
His teeth were chattering slightly.
"Don't try to get information from me, because I truly don't know anything. The fact that I'm here to deal with you proves I'm just cannon fodder, a pawn used by others."
"Do you think a pawn like me would know many secrets?"
Lin Xiaotian's smile was brilliant. "Usually, people who say that know something."
"Even if they can't reveal everything, I can still catch a tail."
"It just so happens that I'm very unhappy right now because many leads have been broken."
"I suspect you have a lot to do with the destruction of my Lin family."
After saying this, he looked into the man in black's eyes.
He immediately saw the man's pupils constrict sharply.
His smile became even more brilliant. "It seems I guessed right."
"You really do know a lot of information."
"I'm too lazy to waste time with you. Since you don't want to talk now, don't regret it later."
With that, he took out several silver needles from his person and slowly inserted them into the man in black's head.
As the needles pierced, it felt like red-hot irons branding his soul.
The man in black had thought Lin Xiaotian's torture would at most involve crushing his bones.
He never expected such extreme pain.
Now he finally understood why Lin Xiaotian had said he didn't know what true suffering was.
But he had indeed realized the terrifying consequences he was about to face.
"Ah..."
A piercing scream rang out.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"The minute is up, but you haven't given me a satisfactory answer."
"So, whatever pain you endure next is your own doing."
"Regret is no longer an option. You can only beg me for a quick end."
His smiling words made the man in black feel as if he were in hell, hearing the whispers of a demon.
In just over ten seconds, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Please kill me!"
"The information I have is very limited. The only thing I can give you is... a name, Liu Xiangtian."
"If you can find him, you can avenge your family's past grievances."
"He's a crucial clue, but I don't know where he is."
Lin Xiaotian sneered, "If this is all the information you have, then you've truly wasted my time."
"Don't talk to me about Liu Xiangtian. I don't know this person. How can I find him with just a name?"
"There are at least eight thousand people named Liu Xiangtian in the world."
"Are you trying to fool me? Have I been letting you live too comfortably?"
Hearing this, the man in black's face showed fear, his eyes filled with pleading.
"This is truly all the information I have. Please believe me, I'm not lying."
"I don't know what happened before. All I know now is that Liu Xiangtian gave me a mission."
"I only know his name, and nothing else."
The man in black's mental state had completely collapsed.
His eyes held only fearful pleas.
Lin Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly. "If you can't provide me with useful information, then you'll just have to endure this pain."
"Until you die completely."
"Xiao Yan will not give you any chances. Those who have no value are a waste of life."
After about ten minutes, the man in black had long since broken down, his gaze becoming unfocused.
Lin Xiaotian frowned tightly. If this guy only knew the name Liu Xiangtian, then that person was indeed cautious.
He was clearly afraid of being found by him!
As he was contemplating these thoughts, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, a slight smile curved his lips.
"Wife, we haven't seen each other for that long, and you already miss me?"
"I'm not far from the company. Why don't I come find you now?"
"I miss you too!"
However, Chu Nianxue's annoyed voice came from the phone. "I told you to go to Building 1 of the Antique Street earlier. Why haven't you gone yet?"
"Something happened there that needs to be handled. If you can't go, I'll go myself."
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "I've basically finished my business here. I'll head over now."
"Wife, what happened there?"
"You'll know when you get here. Master Liu's message was vague. I feel like there might be some trouble, which is why he's hesitant to tell me clearly."
"Teacher Liu told me to hurry over, but I'm tied up with work and can't leave the company right now."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaotian drove directly to the Antique Street.
He was curious to know what had happened there.
