Fuji wanted to begin with simple and easy questions. He aimed the sword at his hand and..
*SPLASH!*
„AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
A cry of pain roared trough the alley, but there was no one and there will be no one helping him in this desperate situation.
„What is your name?"
Fuji asked calmly, but with a threatening voice to make his patience clear and glared at him for a reply.
Shou Enlai was stabbed at his hand and they were still restraint, causing him to be powerless. He wanted to cry and started to regret his arrogance.
'I should have had listen to Ju Chongan and never done the attempts to steal. This was clearly proof of my ignorance and now I will pay greatly.'
*drip*
„P-please, let me...sob...leave..!"
Fuji saw the pathetic man crying on the ground and didn't understand, why he cried over a little injury.
Back in his high school days, this was the custom for him to pay in order to survive and get a well school report for an entry in a university, that he couldn't get at the end..
Then also the beauty Asami, that he tried to rescue, but failed deeply and with his bad luck, even took her with him into death..
Shou Enlai looked at the standing man in sorrow and pain, but only saw a further increasing devilish smile and his cyan eyes turned into sharp ones with blank irises. The appearance was remembering him of a demon and he was now more scared.
„You didn't answer my question!"
*SPLASH!*
This time, Fuji slashed at his opposite forearm and annoyingly roared. He wanted to make him feel pain and understand the situation.
„..AAHHHH.....p-please..please stop! I will answer!"
After Shou Enlai showed obedience and pleaded him to stop, Fuji halted to not accidentally snap and kill him. Even he doesn't know his own limits and overdoing would be useless.
„Now, what is your name, my little rabbit?"
Shou Enlai didn't like the friendly tone from a psychopath and his appellation, but didn't say it aloud, otherwise his head or groin would probably be the next target points of the sword.
„M-my name is S-Shou Enlai..!"
Fuji memorized his name and continued with the interrogation.
„Do you have any family members or persons caring for you?"
Shou Enlai really didn't want to answer such a personal question and tried to persuade him to not bother with it.
„T-there isn't really anyone who would care about me.."
The cyan eyes with blank irises stared deeply into his eyes and a sting appeared suddenly at his right calves.
*SPLASH!*
„AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Blood splashed from his right calves, that painted Fuji's pants with stains of blood. Nonetheless, the cries of pain were music to Fuji's ears and he could hear this melody all day long, but needed to unfortunately continue.
~You have gained 1 Dark Qi!~
„Answer truthfully. I give you another chance and if you don't comply.."
From the corner of the eye, Shou Enlai saw him direct the sword at his groin and the tip of the sword already touched it. The feeling of sharp iron was giving him a wake-up call and he needed to have at least this bit of honor left.
„I-I have a mother! A f-father and two sisters.."
Fuji's grin was now sharp and a slight joyful expression mirrored on his face. This was the type of answer, he definitely wanted to hear and future plans were already mentally noted.
„W-why are you l-laughing..?"
Shou Enlai was scared and confused, why he suddenly looked like he won a prize. He was starting to understand, why this guy was alone without a group or fellow clansmen.
„Hahahaha, it's nothing you have to worry about.."
He withdrew the sword and got up. He examined the area for any potential espionage on them or any stupid aggressor planning on assaulting.
„Good, there is no one."
He glared back at Shou Enlai and continued.
„Where are we located?"
„In Woof City."
Fuji arched his eyebrow and was slightly surprised by the name. It sounded really peaceful and cute. This city is humongous and has such a stupid name..
„How many clans are occupied here and is there anything peculiarly to know about this city?"
He needed some time to form useful sentences, that would provide enough information to let him survive and not to kill him.
„Ehh..the city is divided into 5 districts and the district at the enter area, also acquainted as lower district, is famous for its banks and merchants. We are currently located at the lower district. If I'm not wrong, many clans have their hands here in motion and manipulation is common."
Fuji touched his chin and stared at Shou Enlai to detect any facial changes. In his many years, he never understood or felt these expression, but could see them easily and identify, if someone lied or is faking his expression.
That helped him back in the days out and the police couldn't do anything against him, since his childhood.
„Why is it called Woof City? It sounds more cute and friendly, which is the opposite of what a city should have as a name?"
Shou Enlai was now perplexed and never questioned it, because he was happy with his life by now in the city.
Suddenly, he remembered the words of his favorite elder, that he had a crush on and actually listened once, that he could remember.
He was now even more fond of his love for her, because her words, that he really listened to for once, was now saving his ass!
„U-uhm...It was, b-because the name was chosen as a window dressing to led people into the city and that would cause economic increase."
The cyan eyes of Fuji sparkled, when he heard the words 'economic increase' and was getting excited.
„Really?! Then who made it possible for this to happen?"
If there was one thing he loved, then it was manipulation and he was the cause of imprisonments of innocent people, but did he ever show any shrink of guilty feelings?
No. He never did.
