Chapter 1045 - Getting Answers
Now, they all wanted to know just one thing.
Where the hell is Hamunaptra?
...
~Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!
"Urgh! Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!~"
The gruesome sounds of the heavy club, accompanied with the shrill cries of the chained up Josh, could make the c.h.e.s.t of any who hear it tighten.
Josh gasped for air as his body quaked in agony.
The cold air around him should've frozen his body to the bone. But with the pain he was facing, his body constantly sweated, making him feel hot in flames instead.
~Pah!!
"Urghhhh!!!!"
~Grrrrrr!
Josh gritted his bloody teeth painfully, making the greenish veins around his neck and protruded even more.
His breathing grew rapid, with every breath being like a negotiation, forcing his nostrils to take in as much air as they could.
Ruthless!
The torturer before him was both ruthless and intelligent.
They only attacked the areas that wouldn't spill any of his vital organs out.
The nail-filled club had bashed into his back and his sides ruthlessly, leaving it riddled with deep holes
They dared not do more than that because it wasn't their place to torture him.
For now, they would have to take him to Morgany and hand him over to their superiors, who would assign real torturers to get the job done.
One might think that if Josh does, they could just throw the body and pretend it never happened.
But that assumption would be wrong.
Each crew had several spies in them that also reported the crew's activities too.
So if any pirate dared betray the organization, they would know.
No one really knew who the spies were or what positions they held.
All they knew was that it could be anyone in their crew.
So holding such a secret was too stupid and meaningless.
That's why they had to handle Josh with care, ensuring that he didn't die.
That's also why they didn't dare cut off any of Josh's limbs or body parts.
They dared not do too much.
As for Josh who was bashed with the nail-filled club, he had already analyzed his situation and knew that this was the most they could do to him.
So all he needed to do was hang on tight and keep finding a way out of this mess.
Of course, his main priority was to see the kidnapped citizens they had aboard the pirate sh.i.p.s.
As for the questions they kept asking him, no matter how much pain he faced, he refused to give in and continued speaking in English, with a bit of Pyno mixed into it, so they could somewhat understand or get a glimpse of what he was saying.
For sure, he still decided to act both weak and strong, depending on what was asked.
He might as well sell his performance.
.
~Pah! Pah! Pah!~
"Urgh! Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!~"
The club brutally bashed Josh's back, making him flinch forward in pain while closing his eyes and s.u.c.k.i.n.g his jaws in, creating an ashen, almost ghost-like appearance.
Old Crow Face who saw this, suddenly raised his voice loudly: "Enough!"
The torturer lowered his club and stood beside Josh at attention.
And all that could be heard were Josh's pained m.o.a.ns.
Old Crow slowly advanced towards Josh while the others within the room watched without blinking.
Notably, there were 2 individuals who were interested in whatever Josh had to say.
These honoured guests were members of the T.O.E.P, as well as famous Council members within Deiferus.
Of course, some of their assignments issued out by the Order, requested that they work alongside the Pirates to do certain duties.
And one of them was to be the eyes and ears for the pirates.
So this matter heavily involved them.
.
At present, Crow Face and the rest were just 4 and a half days away from the dock where they had docked their sh.i.p.s.
They only stopped by because they had to collect some very precious items for the Order from these 2 members.
Of course, 3 of the items hadn't arrived yet and should be here before the end of the day.
So they decided to stay here until the items arrive before setting off immediately.
But in the meantime, because of Old Crow Face's curiosity, he decided to take action on Josh while they waited.
That's right.
He truly wanted to know what this Hamunaptra place was all about?
On the way here, they didn't have any chance of talking to Josh since they were travelling at lightning speed, with almost no time for breaks.
So after they got here around 5 A.M, they slept, woke up and began torturing Josh for the truth.
And once the items came, they would leave immediately, travelling nonstop for 4 and a half days until they successfully got aboard their sh.i.p.s.
Then, they could relax.
They were also travelling like this because they had a hunch that the boy and those who took him away might be heading towards the coastal town they docked their sh.i.p.s at too.
.
The 2 members of the Order looked at the scene with interest while deep in thought.
"Old Crow Face. He claims that his organization, the Eyes of Horus, isn't afraid of the Pirate organization.
But how about The Order of Extraordinary Power?
Ask him if he is aware of T.O.E.P!"
"That's right, Old Crow Face.
We have to know how powerful they are and what they want with the boy.
A single grain of rice might be the tipping scale.
Likewise, this boy might be the one to doom us all!!"
