Chapter 171 Secret Base

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Secret Base

Throughout the encounter, Ye Xuan’s face bore a faint smile, showing no resistance at all and appearing surprisingly cooperative.

A Dragon Soul Captain of the first rank, Ye Xuan hadn’t even taken him seriously.

In his view, since Zhong Kang was a first-rank Dragon Soul Captain, he should have been able to withstand two or three of his moves, at least, but in reality, he couldn’t even block one. His level was even worse than that of an ordinary member of his own squad. It seemed that Dragon Soul wasn’t much after all.

"Let’s go then, you claim I’m a military spy, so the next step should be to take me for interrogation, right? I wonder where your secret base is located?"

Ye Xuan said with an indifferent tone, having not yet interacted with the members of Dragon Soul since returning to the country, this would be a good opportunity to check it out.

This Zhong Kang was just a minion, and Ye Xuan decided to use him as bait to draw out the more significant figures behind him.

His backers were Ye Xuan’s real target!

"Hmph, you still talk tough when death is at your doorstep, but let me tell you, in the face of absolute power, your strength is simply insignificant."

Zhong Kang sneered with mockery, his face full of arrogant scoffing.

He indeed had underestimated Ye Xuan’s abilities, but so what?

As he had said, before the sharp blade of Dragon Soul, the nation’s sword, even if your martial arts skills were outstanding, you would still have to clean your neck and submit to the slaughter.

"You say it’s insignificant? Let’s put it to the test."

Zhong Kang had one thing right, absolute power could indeed rule everything!

But the poor fellow had probably not figured out yet who truly held the power.

Dragon Soul? In Ye Xuan’s eyes, they weren’t even qualified.

"Once we get there, let’s see if you’re still as tough as you are now."

Zhong Kang sneered coldly, pushing Ye Xuan downstairs before returning to carry the unconscious Qin Lan into the car.

...

An hour later, at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of East Sea City. The place used to be a chemical plant but had been deserted for quite some time.

From the outside, this location seemed unremarkable, yet unknown to all, it housed Dragon Soul’s secret base in East Sea City.

The real base lay beneath the crust of the chemical plant, its surface structures serving merely as a disguise.

In the secret base’s underground parking lot, Zhong Kang brought Ye Xuan out and imprisoned him in a chamber, ordering two subordinates, "Keep a good eye on him, I will personally interrogate him later."

"After the car ride, I’m actually a bit tired. There’s a room for me to rest in, huh? Dragon Soul’s service is quite thorough."

Ye Xuan stretched languidly, walking into the interrogation room nonchalantly and looking around as if nothing concerned him.

Service?

Did this kid think he was here to rest?

Seeing Ye Xuan’s unconcerned demeanor, Zhong Kang sneered inwardly: "Yes, our service is very thorough, and I hope you’ll still think so later."

Having said that, a vicious light flickered in his eyes as he told the two subordinates, "Take good ’care’ of him. I’ll come back later. Stealing our country’s military secrets is a grave offense, reflecting is a must!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Both subordinates showed a sly gleam in their eyes, clearly understanding Zhong Kang’s intentions, and they excitedly approached Ye Xuan.

A cruel smirk flickered across Zhong Kang’s face as he turned to leave. If he was to fabricate charges against Ye Xuan, everything had to be flawless.

...

After Zhong Kang left, Ye Xuan was handcuffed to a metal chair by two men, his hands locked behind his back.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Ye Xuan remained silent, even cooperating fully as he was handcuffed to the chair.

Seeing that Ye Xuan offered no resistance, not even a grunt of discontent, a hint of disdain appeared on the faces of the two men.

They thought to themselves, could this kid have been frightened stupid? With such poor psychological quality, he’s a spy? Is this some kind of joke?

"How is it, is this all you’ve got?"

His hands and feet restrained, Ye Xuan displayed not a trace of nervousness; instead, he smiled at the two men before him.

This caused the two Dragon Soul members, who had previously looked down on Ye Xuan, to hesitate. They felt annoyed—this guy was facing death and still managed to smile!

"Damn it, you’re still laughing? Wait a moment, I’ll wipe that smirk off your face!"

One of the skinny men glared fiercely at Ye Xuan and suddenly turned on a bright light in front of him, intent on intimidating Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan didn’t even blink, as if the intense light beam didn’t hinder his vision at all, just smilingly watching the man’s movements.

"Still resorting to such clichés? You Dragon Soul guys really disappoint me. Don’t you have any new tricks?"

Leaning back in the chair, Ye Xuan looked playfully at the two men in front of him, as if he were the interrogator and they were the suspects.

"Motherfucker, you dare to laugh? Do you understand what it means to fall into our hands? The last spy we caught, I broke all his limbs!"

The skinny man slammed the table fiercely, stood up filled with rage, and sneered, "Leaking military secrets, your case is very serious! Even if I break your legs, it can be said you’re non-cooperative during the investigation."

After saying that, he gave a look to the short, chubby man beside him, who immediately got up and turned off the surveillance.

Seeing that various equipment lights were off, the skinny man’s mouth curled into a cold smile:

"Name?"

"Do I need to tell you two?"

Ye Xuan leaned back lazily in the seat, saying with disdain.

To think such minor underlings dared to interrogate him, wouldn’t that be losing face?

"Kid, do you know where you are? This is Dragon Soul Base. I advise you to cooperate obediently. There might still be a chance for you to get out of here, otherwise..."

"Heh, just now didn’t you say I was a military spy, threatening to break my legs? You don’t even know my name, what kind of interrogation is this? It seems Dragon Soul isn’t all that impressive after all! How can Dragon King have such useless disciples?"

Ye Xuan said with a disdainful smile, contempt written all over his face.

"Dragon King, you’re also worthy of mentioning the Dragon King’s name?"

The skinny man laughed coldly, a fierce glint flickering in his eyes, "Fine, you don’t want to talk? I have plenty of ways to make you talk. I hope your attitude can remain as tough as it is now!"

"Then come at me already, I can hardly wait! Let’s see what methods Dragon Soul has."

Ye Xuan was completely composed, unaffected by the other’s threats, even a slight smile lingering on his lips.

Torture? He had personally experienced the most severe and cruel tortures in this world, yet they still hadn’t claimed his life.

He was curious to see what kind of torture the esteemed Yan Country’s top combat unit, Dragon Soul, could possibly bring to the table!

Seeing that Ye Xuan still remained defiant, a cruel look involuntarily spread across the skinny man’s face.

Seeing his expression, the short and chubby man beside him glanced at Ye Xuan with excitement and laughed, "We haven’t used ’that thing’ for a long time. This kid is young; I wonder how long he can last?"

The skinny man also had a smile on his face, speaking nonchalantly, "Don’t use too much of the dose. If he can’t withstand it and dies, it won’t be easy to explain when Captain Zhong comes back."

Having said that, he walked over to the glass window and closed the blinds, plunging the interrogation room into darkness, the atmosphere becoming eerily unsettling.
