"You think, you can escape from this?" The man in black robe talked with chill tone and threatening manner to Gu Xie. "Who sent you?!" He hissed.
There was no answer.
"Don't waste my time. Who sent you?" He asked calmly but, in his calm tone there was a layer of danger beneath it.
Still there is no answer.
The black robe man stand up and give Gu Xie a fierce kick on his stomach, after rolling backward a few meters until his back hit the wall Gu Xie was groaning painfully.
However, the black robe man mercilessly kick him multiple time until Gu Xie open his mouth to talk faintly. His voice was very weak that cause the black robe man couldn't hear him.
He was crouching again on the floor and bent his body until his ears near Gu Xie lips, waiting for his answer.
The moment his face closed enough to Gu Xie, the later spit out a mouth full of blood to his face and sneered sarcastically. "Go to hell!"
Slowly the black robe man was straighten his back and wiped away the blood from his face calmly. His calmness was scary enough to give chill to Senja until her spine.
"You are clearheaded now" He assessed Gu Xie who was coughing blood. The effect of medicine that he gave him before seemed has faded completely.
The black robe man rushed here to deal with him because since the day Gu Xie was detained, he barely caught news that said Gu Xie had rambled about maples forest. He didn't know how he overcame the effect of his medicine, he was pretty sure that the medicine that he concocted was strong enough to leave Gu Xie out of his mind for the rest of his life.
Even if the thing that Gu Xie remembered just a piece information about maples forest and the interrogator couldn't dug out anything anymore from him. It was still leak of secret that unpardonable.
The moment he had received a secret missive that mention there was a traitor was heading his way to divulged their clan affair he was on guard and very alert. It was fortunate enough for him to encounter Gu Xie earlier before he was able to spill the information to anyone.
Initially, after he gave him the pill, his plan was to send Gu Xie over to Xiao Tianyou to kill him. Even though he knew, it will be Gu Xie who would be killed by Xiao Tianyou. Still he had nothing to lose.
Gu Xie was dead the moment he took the pill, there was no way he would be recovered. The black robe man was very sure about that, hence it was save enough to send him over to 'teased' Xiao Tianyou. Never he would have thought that Gu Xie was still able to talk and why he attacked the shadow guard that caused he was being detained for interrogation instead went straight to Xiao Tianyou?
The black robe man continued his assessment towards the sorry figure beneath his feet. Gu Xie clearly has got back his sanity.
"You are from green hill" He said it with certainty. It wasn't a question but a statement.
Following his words, killing intents hovered in the air that make Senja froze. Fear enveloped her whole body caused her forget to breath.
Murderous atmosphere from the black robe man lingered in the air. He move swiftly and stuffed a pill into Gu Xie mouth, the moment he swallowed it his body jerk a few times and then still.
