Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 571 Interrogating Carlos

"Anyway, what's up with Carlos, what did you manage to get out of him?" Reign suddenly asked Wolf as the two suddenly stayed quiet.

"Nothing, I still haven't interrogated him, he was unconscious until half an hour ago, you really did a number on him, and not only physically," Wolf said as Reign smirked slightly.

"Good, he deserves it." Reign still remembered the sight of Carlos using his ability to summon the white spike that ended Marco's life. Carlos had hidden well and nobody had ever suspected that he and some of his men were actually members of the enemy organization.

Reign wanted to find out what Carlos knew, and because of that, he returned to the prison with Wolf.

They let the centaur out and escorted him back to his cell before opening the door of Carlos's cell. The man stared at Reign with concern before standing up. His entire body had changed, his face was wrinkled and older than before, most of his hair was gone and his muscles had shrunk considerably compared to before.

His arms were of course gone, the healers did enough to make sure he wouldn't die and closed to the wounds, but did nothing more. Everybody from the territory was disgusted by Carlos and those that had betrayed them together with him.

They had considered them part of the territory and they were all one big family as they took care of each other, only to be stabbed in the back by him. Of course, the ones that felt the biggest hate were those that belonged to Carlos's order.

Most of them were slaughtered right at the start when Carlos showed his true colors, and only a handful of their combatants were left alive. They couldn't wait to see Carlos and the others dead, but they understood that Wolf and the others first needed to get information out of them.

It was very important to find out just how much they knew about the enemy organization. The only thing that they did was find Wolf and beg him to allow them to kill the traitors when Wolf was finished with them.

Everyone understood that there would be no saving the traitors. The only thing they could do was speak and have a quick death, otherwise, Wolf would make sure that they would not only speak and give all the information they had but that they would be begging for a quick death as well.

He had already interrogated the men, and unfortunately, they knew nothing of the organization. It was seemingly a trend that nobody except for the higher-ups had any information that would be useful to them.

As Carlos made his way to the room in the center of the prison, he looked around and saw some familiar faces.

His men were in two cells, and the other members of the organization fare no better. He knew they had lost, their leader had lost against Reign and the organization was done for, the only thing left for Reign and Wolf to do was find their base and destroy it or take over it, making sure nobody else would ever be able to threaten them.

Even if they didn't do so, it was highly unlikely that anyone would ever be able to become powerful enough to actually threaten Reign and his territory. From what he knew, only one elder was left in the base, and he was the least powerful among them.

Even if Reign did nothing, the future and safety of Doncaster were pretty much guaranteed now.

"So, are you going to speak, or do I need to force you to speak?" Wolf asked Carlos as the latter sat down in the chair that was used for the interrogation process.

"You know, I never expected you guys to hide so deeply, it's as if you already knew about our plans." Carlos suddenly said with a sad smile on his face.

"You did good, you didn't trust me or anyone else and made sure that we would fully commit to attacking you so that you could once and for all deal with us, killing or capturing all the higher-ups, making sure that we would never be able to rise again," Carlos spoke whilst staring at Reign's face.

"Not to mention your strength, you even hid that, from me and everyone in the territory, you hid your true form, I truly never expected you to do something like that."

"But I can see that you didn't know everything, otherwise I highly doubt that I would have been able to kill Marco."

"Argh!" Carlos suddenly shouted out in pain as Reign stabbed him in the leg with his sword.

"Don't say his name, you don't have the right to do so, not after everything you did."

"Hahahaha, I guess you are right about that, Reign," Carlos said with a smirk as sweat appeared on his face.

"Say, when did you start suspecting us, how did you find out we were going to attack you, even after thinking about the different ways you could have done so, I still can't find any feasible way for you to do such a thing."

"Who knows, maybe I had a spy, maybe I can see the future, or maybe you guys just weren't as smart as you thought."

"Heh, I highly doubt that the leader made sure that only two people knew his plans, and I was one of those three, while one of the elders that died during the battle was the other one."

"So there is no chance that you managed to find out about the attack, especially since you were sent away for a challenge."

"The only way that you would have known is if you really can see the future, in which case, our defeat was a natural outcome, after all, no planning can help when one knows what is about to happen," Carlos said sadly as he looked at the ceiling.

"If you were wondering if I know how to get to the base, then I will have to disappoint you, I was never told as I was always away, keeping my disguise perfect, I never even visited the base ever since the game started."

"Argh!" Carlos screamed out in pain again as this time, Wolf stabbed him in the shoulder with a dagger.

"That's a lie, which means that we have found the right man to interrogate." Wolf smiled ferociously as he stared at Carlos who was staring back at him with hate visible on his face.

"You can leave the rest to me, I can promise you that he will give me everything we need in less than an hour."

"No need, we can get all the information right away." Reign said as he went to grab Carlos's head.

"No!" Wolf suddenly said as he grabbed Reign's hand.

"Huh?"

"I promised them that they would have their revenge, so I can't let you take his soul, at least not before allowing them to kill him," Wolf spoke seriously as Reign nodded.

"Alright, I can just take it after he is dead anyway."

Carlos looked at the two, fully capable of hearing what they were talking about.

"Take my soul, if that is your way of trying to scare me into giving you info, then you are sadly mistaken, my soul has already been bound to the leader's soul and a seal has been placed, no one can do anything to my soul with the seal defending it."

Reign didn't speak, he merely glanced at Wolf who let go of his arm before grabbing Carlos's head and using his ability.

Carlos's eyes suddenly widened in shock as terrible pain assaulted him. He could feel his soul being damaged by Reign and the seal weakening, but only for a second as Reign stopped immediately. He had already done so in order to let Carlos know that he could indeed do what he said he would do.

"Impossible, how can you simply attack my soul, that makes no sense!" Carlos shouted out before remembering what had happened during their battle previously.

He had almost forgotten about how Reign had constantly hammered his soul with a weird soul attack during the fight, and at first had only thought that it was a skill that allowed him to disrupt the opponent and hurt their soul slightly, only to now realize that it was not so in the slightest.

'Even the leader was unable to simply attack the soul on a whim and needed to prepare a spell for it, damn it!' Carlos thought before staring at the two and gulping in fear. He now understood that if he was to not cooperate, not only would he be killed, but his soul would be taken as well.

"All of his men are awake, right?" Reign asked Wolf who nodded at him.

"Call those that once worked under Carlos, the execution will take place today." Reign said before turning around and walking toward the door.

"What, wait, don't you want to hear what I have to say, aren't you interested in hearing about the base?!" Carlos shouted in fear as Reign stopped and turned to stare at him.

"I am interested, and you will tell me all about it, but you will do so after death."

"Do not think for a moment that death is what awaits those that betray the territory as it is only the beginning."
