As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 277 This is not an interrogation

Although the woman's voice was gentle and soothing, it did not suddenly become loud or excited.

Jean-Jacques still felt as if a soaking wet noose had gripped his throat, threatening to tear his trachea and cervical vertebrae apart at any moment.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."

The female voice laughed, "My name is Snake Princess, and I come from the Black Dream Organization."

Jean-Jacques finally couldn't hold back and let out a groan of fear.

He was well-informed in Dawn City and naturally knew that Snake Queen was the most ruthless character among the new generation of the Black Dream Organization. She had been very active in the southeastern border area for the past six months, and whenever she made a move, she would create a scene of countless killings.

Not only were there a great many people who died at her hands, but their deaths were often extremely gruesome—their bones were shattered all over their bodies, which was considered a rather quick and painless way to die.

Jean-Jacques considered all the threats he might face and devised comprehensive countermeasures.

But he never dreamed that he would fall into the den of evil of the Black Dream organization.

"It seems that you, like most people, have some misunderstandings about me and our organization."

The woman who called herself Snake Princess sighed softly behind him, "It's no wonder. After all, so many high-ranking figures have abandoned their lofty ideals of saving the world. Under the manipulation of their ever-expanding greed, they have become the vanguard of the apocalypse, the messengers of destruction, and the viruses that erode this world."

"Having witnessed the selfishness and ugly behavior of these big shots, ordinary people inevitably begin to doubt the ideology and practices of the Black Dream Organization, and may even be deceived and brainwashed, seeing us as bloodthirsty, murderous, and utterly wicked beings."

"It's okay. Being misunderstood, insulted, or harmed is the fate of a savior."

"Now that we've embarked on this path, fraught with thorns and flames, and with a high probability of failure, we've already put everything else aside!"

That being said.

Her hands, cold as a corpse, traveled from Jean-Jacques's shoulder blades all the way down his spine.

With fingers as sharp as scalpels, they carefully explored Jean-Jacques' spine, as if pondering where to begin to remove the entire spine intact.

Jean-Jacques was on the verge of collapse, his teeth chattering, and he stammered, "No, I do not oppose the Black Dream Organization's ideology. On the contrary, I greatly admire your persistence and courage. I have never touched the interests of the Black Dream Organization. On the contrary, I really hope to be friends with the Black Dream Organization, but unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity."

"My esteemed Snake Queen, I truly do not understand what is so special about a nobody like me that warrants the attention of the Black Dream Organization, and why you must personally intervene. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Snake Princess giggled.

The blows were so forceful that it was as if two ice picks had been driven into Jean-Jacques's spine, causing him to scream in agony and have the illusion that he was about to be paralyzed.

"Don't underestimate yourself, dear Mr. Jean-Jacques. At least in Dawn City, you are a very capable and key figure."

Snake Princess smiled and said, "No ordinary person could possibly open such a luxurious high-end entertainment center, and transport those ancient demons and end-stage patients of Spirit Corrosion from outside the city to the underground arena in the city to fight each other without anyone noticing."

"As for why we invited you here, I think you should know very well, otherwise you wouldn't have sent an imposter, strapped with explosives, sitting in his luxury car, to blow up two of my generals."

Jean-Jacques trembled even more violently.

"No, this is a misunderstanding!" he cried. "I didn't know the Black Dream Organization would make a move; it wasn't a plan targeting the Black Dream Organization!"

"is it?"

Snake Princess pressed further, "If it's not targeting the Black Dream organization, who exactly do you want to bomb?"

"The power of those bombs is enough to blast an ancient monster back to its home in the ancient era. Moreover, the convoy is traveling on a busy main road. No matter when or where they are detonated, they will always cause a huge commotion and may even injure innocent people."

"Even if you know a lot of influential people, doing something like this in public will definitely make it impossible for you to stay in Dawn City."

"You're so smart, you must know the consequences."

"Knowing the consequences, yet still daring to do this, it means you had already decided to escape Dawn City."

"My question is, why did you think of running away? Was it simply because Dawn City's resources were about to run out, or was there a more direct and urgent reason?"
"Did you sense some kind of threat, realize that someone is investigating you, and that you really have a lot of secrets that can't be exposed?"
"Do you have any accomplices? And who is threatening you and investigating you?"
“Well, let’s be more precise—before his death, Sheikh Krat was also on the run with a large sum of money. Interestingly, he converted most of his assets into a rare and extremely valuable crystal coin. We are very curious about the origin of this crystal coin. I wonder if our dear Mr. Jean-Jacques could solve our puzzle?”

Jean-Jacques was not an impatient person.

If he were in a security bureau interrogation room, he would have a million ways to infuriate the interrogator on the other end, leaving them helpless.

But this is the secret lair of the Black Dream organization.

Behind him stood the infamous "Snake Queen"!
Jean-Jacques turned pale, feeling as if a dam was about to collapse deep in his throat.

All the secrets, even the most profound secrets, would be vomited out by him like a raging flood.

He clenched his teeth tightly, letting the blood flow from his gums.

He forcefully suppressed the secret that was about to slip out.

Not only because the matter is of great importance, but also because once exposed, he is destined to become a target that many forces, including Liming Heavy Industry, will want to eliminate as soon as possible.

More importantly, he wasn't sure if the Snake Princess would let him go after he told her everything.

—For this bloodthirsty female demon, killing to silence witnesses is as easy and necessary as eating and drinking.

The Snake Princess keenly sensed his inner turmoil.

He sighed softly, as if wondering why he was so foolish as to still think he had a choice.
“My dear Mr. Jean-Jacques, you probably don’t understand the situation very well, let alone the way the Black Dream Organization operates.”

The Snake Princess said calmly, "You think this is an interrogation, or even a deal? No, no, no, you're completely wrong."

"Your secret is certainly useful, but not important enough to warrant our fuss."

"In fact, it's just a game, a personal interest of mine."

"Because I haven't enjoyed the slow and meticulous dissection of a human being for a full two weeks."
