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

"Click" sound.

The Snake Princess tapped her fingers lightly.

Jean-Jacques' collarbone immediately dislocated.

The physical pain was secondary; more importantly, the Snake Princess's words seeped into Jean-Jacques's body like gusts of cold wind, as if traveling through his bone marrow and nerves, making him imagine a hundred times more intense pain, about to engulf his soul like a tidal wave.

"Let me tell you what will happen next, dear Mr. Jean-Jacques."

The snake queen's ten fingers continued to gently tap on the trembling shoulders of the former mining engineer, as if playing a beautiful symphony of flesh and blood.

"The good news is that I don't have much time to waste on my little personal hobbies. The Black Dream organization has a lot of missions to carry out, and we can only be alone for a maximum of six hours."

Snake Princess smiled and said, "The bad news is that the Black Dream Organization has just developed a new type of nerve delay agent that can block the transmission speed of some nerve signals in the brain, thereby disrupting the recipient's perception of the passage of time. This makes even a short minute feel like a whole day, but it will not hinder their transmission and perception of pain signals."

"The worse news is that I happened to be carrying a nerve delay agent with me."

As he spoke, a cold, pale hand extended a dark red, viscous liquid from behind into Jean-Jacques's eyes.

The glass tube was gently shaken, and the dark red potion churned as if it had been brewed from the sacrifice of dozens of lives.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Jean-Jacques seemed to hear hundreds of wronged souls screaming in the blood-red potion.

"Next, I will inject you with this drug, so that you will experience the feeling of each day dragging on forever."

Snake Princess whispered in Jean-Jacques' ear, "Then, I will peel off your skin inch by inch, clean every bit of flesh from your bones, and then drill a small hole in your bones to extract your marrow alive."

“I will be very careful, starting with the left leg, then the right leg, then the arms, down to the torso, and finally the head.”

"Don't worry, my skills are outstanding and my experience is rich. I will definitely not let you die easily. Judging from past examples, those guys I've made, even if their limbs and torsos have become skeletons, all their skin, muscles and fat have been removed, leaving only their internal organs exposed to the air, pitifully twitching, they didn't die so easily. Many of them can still talk to me!"

"It's clear you're very well-preserved, and you must be very diligent in your cultivation, right? With such a strong vitality, you'll definitely last even longer. Perhaps even if I scrape off all the skin and flesh from your face, and remove your lips and gums, you'll still have clear senses and thoughts, and you'll still beg me for a quick death?"

At this point, Snake Princess suddenly became excited.

His rapid breathing, like the tentacles of a demon, constantly scraped against the most sensitive skin on the back of Jean-Jacques' neck.

"Would you like to make a bet?"

Snake Princess licked her lips and chuckled, "I bet you I can rip out your brain, eyeballs, spinal cord, and heart while you're still alive, and keep them alive for at least three minutes without the support of bones and flesh."

"If you could really do that, you might even be able to see your own heart and complete nervous system while you're fully conscious!"

Jean-Jacques finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He started vomiting loudly. Unfortunately, the other person must have really given him some kind of drug, because after vomiting for a long time, nothing substantial came out.

The only feeling of extreme nausea lingered deep in his throat, causing his vision to blur with black and red, and his fear surged like a tide, wave after wave.

"do not want!"

Jean-Jacques screamed, "What do you want to know? I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

"is it?"

The Snake Princess's voice seemed to contain deep regret and dissatisfaction. She shook her head and said, "You have disappointed me too much, dear Mr. Jean-Jacques. Think about it carefully, all I need is chaos to attract the attention of all forces in Dawn City and create an opportunity for the Black Dream Organization's real operation."

There are countless ways to create chaos.

“I can follow your example and secretly transport a batch of extremely dangerous ancient monsters into Dawn City, inject them with the most stimulating drugs, and then release them into the most densely populated downtown area.”

"I can also fill the space under the tallest skyscraper in the city with explosives, and announce the arrival of the Black Dream Organization with a deafening explosion and towering flames."

"I can also meticulously prepare you and turn your remains into exquisite works of art, placing them at the entrances of the Security Bureau and the headquarters of Dawn Heavy Industries. On the cards accompanying these 'gifts,' I can write any fabricated information to make people believe that you have already revealed everything under torture."

"Hmm, now that you mention it, it seems I really don't need to know your insignificant little secret!"

"Do not--"

Jean-Jacques' eyes were bloodshot as he hurriedly exclaimed, "My secret is very important. I know a lot of things and have dirt on many important figures. Whatever the Black Dream Organization wants to do in Dawn City, I can provide you with great convenience. I'll tell you everything you ask!"

He struggled violently.

Even though the steel cable was tightly constricting their limbs and flesh, chafing so badly that the pale periosteum was faintly visible, they dared not stop moving.

"Alright, let's hear it then!"

The Snake Princess sighed with regret and said, "I can give you half an hour. If you can't tell me any information that interests me within that time, then I can slowly work on you."

“Let me think, where should we begin? Right, let’s start with Sheikh Krat, talk about your relationship, and those rare crystals he possesses.”

"We're friends!"

Fearing that the Snake Lady would lose patience, Jean-Jacques immediately began to speak rapidly and fluently, "No, strictly speaking, they can't be considered friends. You know, people like me who run high-class entertainment centers, almost all the prominent figures in high society in the city are my friends!"
"My relationship with Sheikh Krat is not very deep, but we have done some shady deals. His Spirit Card Club and Spirit Control Team often need to purchase banned drugs and cards. My Golden Iris Entertainment Center also has a large gambling business and needs him to provide inside information or even directly manipulate matches. We got what we needed and everyone was happy."
