Chapter 107: Chapter 106 In the Blink of an Eye (3rd Update)_1

Chief Flag entered the room, calmly set up the table and chairs, sat down, and then took out a Jade Talisman, activated it and placed it on the table. The side with runes faced Owen Bertram.

"This is a recording Jade Talisman. Your every word and action will be recorded."

He then placed a small, delicate exotic beast statue on the table, touched its tip with his finger, and injected spiritual energy. The statue opened its mouth and blew out a large spiritual energy bubble, enveloping the entire room.

"This is a Soundproof Barrier. Everything we say will not be overheard from the outside, so you can be completely at ease."

Owen Bertram quietly watched his operation. From the very beginning, he felt that Chief Flag harbored ill intentions. Even if he seemed nice to Vanessa and his sister, Owen would never let his guard down.

How can an organization like Inner Doctrine, which specifically targets its own people, be really kind and friendly?

Sure enough, Chief Flag suddenly revealed a gloomy and weird smile. He pulled out a small notebook from his bosom, tore off a piece of paper.

He flicked his finger and sent the page flying. In mid-air, it burned cleanly. Amidst flames and ashes, thousands of tiny insects flew out and formed a black mist, circling around Owen Bertram!

The tight, buzzing mass of insects would surely make anyone who saw it wet their pants in fear.

Chief Flag said, "This is the Punishment of Chaos Prison. There are hundreds of thousands of insects like white ants. They will burrow into your body, wriggle under your skin, find your meridians, and gnaw away inch by inch."

He picked up the small notebook: "Every page in this notebook is a different punishment. The Punishment of Chaos Prison is the lightest one. My Inner Doctrine is famous, and we have never failed to interrogate a case. This is just one of our methods."

Owen Bertram couldn’t help but be moved. He stared at the small notebook in his hands—a real treasure!

Head of Inner Doctrine gestured to the side, and the insect cloud of the Punishment of Chaos Prison neatly moved to Owen Bertram’s left. He then raised his right hand: "But, I, Chief Flag, have always been merciful and given you another choice."

"Cooperate with our Inner Doctrine, tell us what we want to know."

"After that, I will guarantee your family’s safety, and even take you into the Inner Doctrine. In Waves Prefecture, I will give you a house, and 150 acres of farmland outside the city, as well as a reward of 5000 gold coins. I can even help you apply for a reward of dozens of Spirit Jades!"

After saying this, Chief Flag crossed his legs and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "You might as well give it some serious consideration. What I can offer you is enough to ensure that you and your sister can lead a worry-free life."

Not everyone has such a good opportunity."

"Can you have such a good situation by following the Devin Family? They just want you to risk your life for them."

"Even if you manage to survive this incident, what will you gain? You are still just a Trial Training General. The major credit for the Magic Wave will definitely be attributed to the Devin Family. It would be good enough if you could be promoted to an ordinary Military Officer."

"You probably won’t get much money—I’ve been in the Horizon Bureau for seven or eight years, so I know better than you."

"In the end, you may have to stay permanently in Extinct Village or Jaafar County."

Chief Flag spread both his hands again, and actually conjured a phantom display of houses and farmland on his right side using spiritual energy. "It’s not hard to choose between a carefree life and hell, right?"

With a confident smile on his face, his heart ached excessively.

This "carefree" choice cost him half of his savings! He didn’t believe that such a considerable fortune wouldn’t sway the heart of this poor guy from a rundown village!

At this point, Owen Bertram understood: They were targeting the Devin Family.

They wanted to use my testimony to frame Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow and then involve the Devin Family.

But the Devin Family was not easy to mess with. If they resorted to torture for the interrogation, they would be exposed once the Devin Family investigated. By then, not only would there be no credit for the interrogators, they might also get themselves implicated. Thus, they could only deceive me into confessing without leaving a trace of torture—bribes were really a last resort.

Inner Doctrine’s tactics were just like the secret agencies of Owen Bertram’s past life.

To gain power, one must become the sharpest knife in the master’s hand. To prove oneself the sharpest, one must handle a big case and bring down a real "big shot."

This Chief Flag might have received hints from the Devin Family’s political enemies before coming here.

So he dared not direct his hand at Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, but he wanted to create a big case and personally bring down the Devin Family!

He would certainly rise rapidly in the ranks because of this.

For a dynasty to reach this stage, it’s probably about to collapse.

Owen Bertram thought to himself: The Horizon Bureau is a dangerous place, and even the Wood Dynasty may not last long. It’s better to be prepared and keep a few more tricks up my sleeve.

Head of Inner Doctrine had worked hard for seven or eight years and managed to accumulate just this bit of fortune. To suddenly give away half of it was truly painful!

But he knew very well that, before getting evidence against the Devin Family, his superiors would not provide any support; he had to rely on himself for now and pay for it himself.

But as long as he found a breakthrough, all his investments would return hundredfold or even thousandfold.

Chief Flag was confident about the reward he offered. This huge sum of money would certainly stun the wild youngster from the small village.

On the other hand, Owen Bertram secretly cursed in his heart: Poor bastard.

Actually, one can’t blame the Head of Inner Doctrine. In the entire Horizon Bureau, even though everyone blindly grabs money with eyes closed, being as rich as Owen Bertram is really rare.

Bringing down the Devin Family would surely implicate Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow. Although she isn’t too bright, her chest is big—no, mainly because she went through the Magic Wave with him, Owen Bertram couldn’t bring himself to betray her.

"I don’t like either of these choices. Why don’t I give you an option as well?"

As soon as Owen Bertram spoke, Chief Flag’s face changed. He sneered, "Do you really think my Inner Doctrine is full of kind-hearted people who wouldn’t dare to use torture on you?"

He was truly furious. He offered generously but it wasn´t accepted; he felt humiliated. With so many good conditions, you are still not satisfied.

Owen Bertram’s insect cloud on his left side suddenly exploded and rushed down at full speed to invade his body and gnaw away his meridians inch by inch.

But suddenly an ochre rope, like a spirit snake or strange python, appeared out of nowhere with a swoosh, quickly binding the Head of Inner Doctrine!

Head of Inner Doctrine was shocked. What kind of treasure was this?! Just as he was about to open his mouth to call for help from the outside, he saw the rope raise its head, looking like a predatory poisonous snake.

He was very sure that if he made a sound, the rope would viciously rush straight into his mouth!

The Immortal Binding Rope not only locked his body but also sealed all his cultivation and divine powers. With him no longer controlling the Punishment of Chaos Prison, the insect cloud collapsed again, flying aimlessly in all directions.

Owen Bertram raised his eyebrows, walked over and kicked the fellow off the chair and sat down, crossing his legs. He turned the recording Jade Talisman to face the Chief Flag, "Now can you listen to the option I’m giving you?"
