Chapter 656


    As soon as he arrived at the entrance, the person on the lookout stopped him, but stepped out of the


    way upon realizing it was John. He parked his car in the yard, where a few of his underlings


    approached him. Humming, John asked, “Did he confess?”


    One of the men gave him a nod. “He did, but what he told us wasn’t of importance.”


    Regardless, John headed into the warehouse. Although huge, the warehouse was left unused for a


    long time, so it was filled with dust and a moldy smell.


    There was a piece of board on the ground in the warehouse, on whichy a man. His jacket was


    removed, which revealed both the T-shirt he wore underneath as well as his tattooed arms. At this time,


    his left elbow was bandaged up.


    When John approached the man, he squinted at John, as he was never asleep to begin with. Resigned

    to epting his circumstances, he kept a straight face upon seeing John, but hisplexion was pale


    when he spoke. “I already told you everything I know without concealing anything.”


    John crouched down to stare at him with a mocking grin. “Weren’t you quite persistent in the


    beginning?” Because of how close they were, John could take in all of the minute changes in the man’s


    expression, so John could determine that he wasn’t lying.


    The man pleaded with him. “I don’t know much about the scheme, but I figured I should at least put on


    some resistance since I am part of a gang, and I do have a reputation to uphold. Besides, I never


    expected you to be able to do me any harm. I’m telling you the truth; I don’t know much, and now that


    I’ve told you everything I know, please release me. I think the injury on my arm is quite serious, so I


    have to go to a hospital.”


    As part of a gang, the man had been reprimanded for picking fights, as well as having been detained.


    Without solid contribution to the society, he was but a parasitic being at the bottom level.


    Scoffing, John questioned pointedly, “Why should I release you? If it wasn’t for me, you would’ve


    created a major ruckus, so don’t expect me to release you without first providing us with something


    more useful.” Having said that, John pressed his hand on the man’s injured arm, which elicited from the


    In a casual tone, John began interrogating him once again. “I need to know why you were told to topple


    Sophia. What exactly is the desired oue?”


    Although panting in pain, the man seemed determined to not confess. John stood up after some time,


    and with his hands in his pockets, he nced down at the man lying on the board. “Well, I suppose you


    should enjoy life out here for a few more days.”


    With that, he turned to leave the warehouse. The two men guarding the entrance approached him as


    soon as he came out. “Sir, what should we do about him?”


    John ordered calmly, “Keep him locked up in there.” Other than that, he also inquired about the injury


    on the man’s elbow.


    The answer he got was that after a simple medical examination, it was deduced that the man might’ve


    administered some first-aid on itst night, they checked on the injury again in the morning, only to see


    that his arm was swollen, so he might need to receive treatment in the hospital.


    However, John wasn’t in a hurry to do that. “It’s okay. He’ll beg us when he can no longer bear the


    pain.” With that, he left the scene while fishing for his cigarette case. In fact, the man did reveal some


    informationst night. He was hired to topple Sophia, while the severity of the resulting injury didn’t


    matter as long as she fell down.
