Chapter 575: Chapter 575 Grand Duke

"What’s going on! Why can’t I control my own body?" The foreign man’s face was etched with confusion, unable to comprehend the reason behind it.

At this time, Chen Wei had already approached him, his expression cold, "Don’t waste your effort, you can’t break free. Will you spit out the mastermind behind this, or do I have to force it out of you?"

Chen Wei seemed to offer the foreign man a choice, but in reality, he did not. Either he would talk voluntarily, or Chen Wei would make him talk—in the end, he would have to speak.

"Wishful thinking! I will never tell you! Just kill me!" The foreign man was defiant, mentally preparing himself for death.

He felt that Chen Wei had overcome him by underhanded means, which was dishonorable.

He completely failed to realize that his own actions, as well as those of his companions, were also sneak attacks, just as dishonorable.

Perhaps this is what they call judging oneself by a different standard than one judges others?

"Kill you?" Chen Wei chuckled, "I won’t kill you. I’ll just make your life worse than death."

Chen Wei walked past the foreign man, disappearing from his line of sight.

Without waiting for him to speak up, Chen Wei had already grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him out of the hotel.

At this moment, the receptionist just happened to come back from the bathroom.

She witnessed Chen Wei dragging away the foreign man but said nothing, pretending not to see.

There was no need to invite trouble. This sort of thing was not a first-time occurrence.

Only after Chen Wei left the hotel did she call security to deal with the man lying in the middle of the lobby, his face bloody, not knowing if he was dead or alive.

"Wait! Where exactly are you taking me? Just kill me! If you dare, just do it!" the man yelled and struggled.

Annoyed, Chen Wei flicked another Silver Needle and stabbed it into the foreign man’s neck.

The next second, the foreign man’s eyes widened in shock as he discovered he couldn’t control his lips to close or open, unable to make a sound.

Not even a muffled groan or grunt could he muster.

How could this be happening?

While he was still baffled, Chen Wei had already taken the foreign man to a beach.

Letting go, he dropped the man onto the sand.

Then he took a small bottle out of his pocket.

"Want to know what this is?" Chen Wei explained with a smile, "This is bait. But unlike other bait, this one excites fish, makes them bloodthirsty, and gives them a huge appetite."

"Can you imagine what it feels like to be nibbled clean by hundreds, maybe thousands of fish, exposing your bones, and all the while soaked in the seawater?"

"..." The foreign man couldn’t speak, but the word "fear" was clearly written on his face.

Then, Chen Wei took out another small bottle, fetched out a pill, and forced it into the foreign man’s mouth, prying it open.

He didn’t forget to explain, "This pill will keep you conscious, so you won’t pass out from the pain. It will also amplify your perception of pain."

The man desperately twisted his body, blinking his eyes.

"What’s that? You want to talk?" Chen Wei decided to give him the chance, reaching out to pull the Silver Needle from the man’s neck.

"No! You can’t do this to me! I, I’m from Great, Great..." The foreign man shut his mouth halfway through his sentence, clearly worried about revealing too much.

Chen Wei said nothing, opened the bottle containing the "bait," and poured the liquid onto the foreign man’s body.

He then grabbed the foreign man by a leg and started walking towards the sea.

He used Silver Needles to help the man maintain his standing position, immersing his whole body in the sea, except for his mouth.

"Cough! Cough cough cough!"

Every now and then, a wave would rise a bit higher, causing him to choke violently on a few mouthfuls of water.

Suddenly, he felt something tearing at his trouser leg with no small force.

He actually ripped open his pant leg!

"Ah!" And then, the clear and rapid transmission of pain as flesh was nibbled away in small bites.

This sensation became more and more frequent! More and more intense!

The foreign man looked down and realized that a large school of fish was swarming towards him.

He thought Chen Wei was joking, but in fact, Chen Wei was serious and was not fooling him.

"At this rate, if I’m not mistaken, in half an hour at most, you will become nothing but a skeleton," Chen Wei "kindly" reminded the foreign man.

It was time to see whether he could maintain the loyalty in his heart.

One minute...

Two minutes...

After three minutes, the foreign man couldn’t bear the pain any longer and called out, "Grand Duke, it was the Grand Duke who ordered us to kidnap Princess Elisa!"

"Grand Duke?" Chen Wei had some impression of that man, having not met him many times, but that didn’t prevent Chen Wei from thinking he was a man of great ambition.

Chen Wei hadn’t expected this guy to really start plotting to seize power and overthrow the Royal Family.

"Hey! You should let me go, I’ve told you everything! Hey! Where are you going? Come back!" The man saw Chen Wei turn around and walk away without looking back, his screams tearing through the air.

Regarding those who wanted his life, Chen Wei was never soft-hearted.

It could only be said that the assassin was too young and truly believed that Chen Wei would let him go.

As for the other assassin, he also died due to delayed rescue while on the way to the hospital, when his heartbeat stopped.

The cause of death was a cerebral hemorrhage!

On the way back to the villa, Chen Wei opened the contact list, found Hill, and called her.

Unexpectedly, the call was answered immediately.

"My Lord, is there something you need from me?" Hill’s voice came quickly from the other end of the phone.

Although her Great Xia language still sounded a bit awkward, she had been making a great effort to learn it for Chen Wei.

"Just now, someone tried to kidnap your sister, but I stopped them," Chen Wei went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Someone tried to kidnap Elisa..."

"You don’t seem surprised at all," Chen Wei noted.

Could it be that this woman had anticipated such an event?

"Indeed, I had thought about it, but I didn’t expect that he would really dare to do so," Hill said, somewhat surprised.

"I forced the truth out of those men’s mouths about who was behind this scheme, the Grand Duke. Is it the same person you’ve been thinking of?" Chen Wei asked again.

"Yes, he is the one I suspected," Hill nodded.

Afterward, Chen Wei learned from Hill that over the years, the Grand Duke had been serving the Elizabeth Royal Family tirelessly and had gained considerable trust from the Royal Family.

As a result, he obtained a great deal of power, especially military power.

More than half of Gentleman Country’s military power was in the hands of the Grand Duke.

Coupled with the manipulations and heart-buying activities that had been going on for years, Hill estimated that about two-thirds of Gentleman Country’s military power was now firmly in the Grand Duke’s grasp.

"No wonder, with so much military power in hand, it’s not strange for him to want to become an emperor. You handle it yourself first, and if you can’t, I will come and solve it for you."

"As for Elisa, she will be safe with me here, don’t worry," Chen Wei reassured.

"Mm, thank you, My Lord," Hill was very moved.
