Chapter 1646 - 1645: Interrogation
Ling Feng could see through his Divine Sense that there were three people standing outside the door, while the others were guarding the entrance to the stairs.
Obviously, these people were professionally trained, very cautious, and experienced in their actions.
Pete was unaware of the situation. He took a deep breath when he heard someone knocking, walked to the door, and asked in a low voice in the local language, "Who is it?"
"The Holy See, Falcon!"
Upon hearing this response, Pete shivered!
He knew what the Falcon organization was; it was the Holy See’s unit specialized in cleaning up internal traitors!
These people were extremely ruthless, showing no mercy!
Nevertheless, thinking of Ling Feng, Pete felt reassured, so he reached out and opened the door.
Three bald men entered the room, glancing left and right. After checking the next room and finding only Pete, the leader immediately asked, "Do you know why we’ve come to you?"
Pete shrugged: "No, I’ve already left the Holy See, so why are you here to see me?"
"Left?"
The leader sneered: "What you did cannot be considered leaving; it was defection!"
"How could that be?"
Pete looked innocent: "I haven’t done anything detrimental to the Holy See. Leaving was voluntary resignation, so why call it defection?"
"Still playing dumb?"
The leader of the group sneered, looked at Pete, and said: "We have evidence of your collusion with external forces, attempting to steal the Holy See’s secrets. Whether you admit it or not, it doesn’t matter; come with us and explain yourself!"
"This is not the Holy See’s territory; you have no right to arrest me!"
Pete shouted angrily, then said, "Besides, I doubt your real identity; a true Falcon wouldn’t arrest someone without evidence!"
"Want to see evidence? Here you go!"
The leader sneered, took out a phone, found a video, and hit play.
The person in the video was so bloodied and mangled that their original appearance was unrecognizable.
Judging by the scene, they had been severely tortured, and Pete’s gaze sharpened as he watched!
Then he heard the person in the video say, "It was Pete; he gave me some gold to find out about the Americans."
"..."
Pete thought to himself that the scenario his boss had predicted was indeed happening.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at the leader: "I don’t even know who this person is, and he just claims it’s me?"
"Still holding on?"
The leader sneered and said calmly, "If you still know the Falcon’s methods, stop lying; come with us honestly, and you’ll suffer less!"
"I can go with you, but I have a question you need to answer!" Pete said.
The leader looked at him: "What question?"
"How many benefits did the Americans give you to make Falcon their lackey?" Pete asked.
"Courting death!"
The leader was enraged by the words and raised his hand, ready to slap Pete!
But unexpectedly, just as his hand was lifted, it suddenly froze in mid-air!
Looking up, he felt strong hands gripping him, yet he couldn’t see anyone, leaving the leader dumbfounded!
While he was puzzled, a strange man’s voice came from beside him: "The one courting death is you!"
Of course, the leader couldn’t understand Ling Feng’s words.
But Pete understood perfectly, feeling instantly relieved.
With the boss making a move, he would be fine.
Ling Feng didn’t use any acupoints nor employ the Mind Soul Art. He simply moved like lightning, knocking the other two strong men unconscious, leaving only the leader.
While controlling him, Ling Feng looked at Pete: "How did you know they weren’t acting on the Holy See’s orders, but sent by the Americans?"
"Falcon rarely leaves the Holy See. Even with solid evidence of my betrayal, it should be the Boot Country police arresting me, then sending me to the Holy See; that’s the rule!"
Pete explained, "So their high-profile attempt to arrest people is definitely not the Holy See’s order."
"I see!"
Ling Feng realized, then smiled: "Great, since they’ve accepted benefits from the Americans, they surely know something about them. You should continue interrogating him!"
At this point, Ling Feng had already appeared, holding the leader by the throat, rendering him speechless and unable to understand the conversation between Ling Feng and Pete.
The bearded face of Ling Feng appeared Western, and although he was clearly a Western man, the language he spoke was incomprehensible, and his appearance out of nowhere baffled the leader.
In his confusion, Pete said in the local language, "Now it’s my turn to ask you questions, and you’d better cooperate, or you’ll certainly suffer!"
"You, you dream on, Falcon people would never betray the Holy See!" The leader gritted his teeth and said.
Pete chuckled: "Save it, do you think I’m an idiot?"
Then he looked at Ling Feng: "Boss, this one’s stubborn; it looks like he needs a taste of pain!"
"Okay!"
Ling Feng nodded, swiftly kicking out to break the leader’s lower leg!
"Crack!"
A crisp sound followed by a scream!
The scream was loud enough to pass through the door, alerting those outside.
The people outside were initially stunned, then immediately drew their concealed handguns from their waists and rushed in quickly!
Seeing this, Ling Feng smirked, thinking that if that’s all it took, then the Falcon was not such a formidable character!
He stepped to the door, and as they kicked it and rushed in, he swiftly struck out, taking them down in no time!
"Who, who on earth are you?"
The leader, with his leg broken, was already overwhelmed by pain, and Ling Feng’s formidable skills filled him with a cold dread.
Listening to Pete’s translation, Ling Feng chuckled: "No need to tell him who I am; just say that if he doesn’t confess, he won’t keep his other leg!"
Pete relayed this truthfully, and the leader was dumbfounded.
In his stupor, seeing Ling Feng ready to attack again, he quickly said to Pete, "No, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!"
"Good for you!"
Pete sneered and immediately asked, "Tell me, what benefits did the Americans give you!"
"Money, Mr. Smack gave me a large sum of money, just to strictly check on anyone trying to inquire about him!" the leader answered.
"Good, what does Smack do at the Holy See?" Pete continued to ask.
The leader hesitated and shook his head: "I really don’t know. He didn’t say, and I can’t ask either!"
"Is that so? You didn’t ask, but you might have some guesses, right?"
Pete squinted, smirking coldly: "At this point, are you still going to beat around the bush?"
