With a "smack," Ye Wudao slapped his face, sneering as he said, "Indeed, money can solve many, many problems, but there are some it cannot, Mr. Matsuno. Now, would you kindly tell me where Zhao Xiaodie is?"
"Zhao Xiaodie? Which Zhao Xiaodie?" Matsuno Ichiro, addled from Ye Wudao's tormenting, couldn't quite clear his head and took a moment to catch on.
"Zhao Xiaodie from Hua Country, the one who developed the 'Angel' drug. Mr. Matsuno, don't tell me you've lost your memory," Ye Wudao sneered viciously, with a cracking of his knuckles that resounded with a pair of sharp snaps, frightening Matsuno Ichiro almost to the point of wetting himself.
