Chapter 177


    Hades reported, "He said that both he and Jonas belonged to a spy team named Earthworm. The team


    consists of five people in total, but he has only met the team leader, so he doesn''t know who the other


    two team members were."


    "What about the rest?" Kingsley asked, "Is that all?"


    "Yes." Hades nodded. "He hasn''te clean about the rest yet."

    Kingsley took a look at Karl, who was beaten ck and blue in the face andmented impassively,


    "Alright, I got it. I''ll take over from here."


    "Yes, sir!" Hades replied before easing his mind. With the kind of capabilities that Ares has, he''ll get


    even the most tight-lipped person to talk!


    Kingsley pulled a chair over and sat across Jonas and Karl. It was something that Kingsley preferred;


    sitting down and being at eye level with his enemies whenever he was interrogating them would allow


    him to observe the other party’s eyes. A cigarette was taken out of his pocket as Kingsley said to


    Jonas, "Wanna have a try? It''s supplied specially for our country''s military, so most people have never


    even seen it."


    Jonas grinned as he shifted in his seat while replying in stilted Qustiannguage, "But you guys tied my


    hands and feet!"


    "That''s simple," Kingsley replied. Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered impassively, "Untie them."


    The instant he said that, both Jonas and Karl were stunned. "W-What? You''re gonna untie us?" They


    were so astounded that they could not believe their ears. "A-Aren''t you worried that we''re gonna run


    away?"


    "If you think you could do that, you should give it a try." Kingsley crossed his legs. "I''m very generous to


    my prisoners, but if they attempt to escape… I usually shoot them dead on the spot."


    Jonas was rendered speechless as his color came and went several times. Finally, he said with a sigh,


    "Just as expected of Ares, the God of War. I don''t have the nerve to run away in front of you."


    Hades stepped forward and untied the hands of both men. As promised, Kingsley tossed them a


    cigarette each while interrogating, "Tell me about your spy team."


    Jonas and Karl turned to look at each other before exchanging looks.


    Kingsley smirked. "Stop looking at each other. It doesn''t matter which one of you confesses," he began


    before slowly blowing a smoke ring. Gradually, his voice turned frosty as he continued, "However, my


    patience is limited, so I''ll only hear the confession from one of you."


    "W-What do you mean by that?" Karl ced his cigarette between his lips with trembling hands before


    taking a breath. He asked in horror, "What do you mean by ''I''ll only hear the confession from one of


    you.''?"


    "The person who confesses first can be extradited back to his country..." A corner of Kingsley’s mouth


    was curled up to reveal a dry smile. "Whereas the other person will have no choice but to be buried on


    this foreign soil, I''m afraid."


    Both Jonas and Karl were rendered speechless before they stopped exchanging nces in that


    instant. Instead, they withdrew their gazes and lowered their heads in thought.


    The situation right now waspletely different from back when they were captured. If they had died


    during capture, they would have be martyrs and heroes. However, if they were to be killed at this


    very moment because of ate confession, they would definitely die in vain! The person who managed


    to survive and return to Sweoya probably would not even identify hisrade as an honorary hero;


    instead, he could even frame the other person as the nation’s biggest traitor! After all, the dead could


    not speak, so the person who lived could vilify and take advantage of the person who died however he


    wanted.


    Both Jonas and Karl had the same exact thought; instantaneously, the atmosphere in the interrogation


    room became quiet and strange…


    It was at this moment when Kingsley added, "Let me add that if the second person who confesses can


    tell more than the first person, then the second person will survive. In other words, the person who


    provides the most useful information will be able to walk out of here alive."


    As this new piece of information sunk in, both Jonas and Karl paled at once. Kingsley''s words meant


    that not only did they have to vie with one another to speak first, they also had to confess to everything


    in great detail without giving the other the opportunity to add a word or two!


    Seeing how the prisoners'' faces looked as terrible as they could get, Lancer and Hades secretly gave


    Kingsley a thumbs up. What a nasty trick this is, Ares! You just dispelled the bit of military awareness


    and self-sacrificing ideas left inside thempletely!


    Kingsley gently tapped his fingers on his knees. "Like I said, my patience is limited. You better not keep


    me waiting for too long."


    As soon as Kingsley finished his sentence, Jonas and Karl shouted simultaneously, "Me! I''ll confess


    first!" Both of their eyes were bloodshot as they scrambled to speak at the top of their voices.


    "I''m first! I raised my hand first!"


    "I''ll confess first! I know more than he does! He''s nothing but a piece of garbage!"


    "Jonas, you son of a b*tch! You''re an idiot! I''m the one who knows more than you do!"
