Changing back into his sinister, villainy, signature black, Ryan walked towards the basement in heavy, murderous steps. His eyes seemed dead and covered with darkness and bloodlust. The aura around him was as cold as the North pole, and more dark than darkness itself. Leonel trailed behind, being the real definition of 'the devil's assistant'. A devilish smirk curved one corner of his lips as he imagined how Ryan would torture this human. This same human who because of him, Ryan wanted his head. He won't let him go scot-free.
They kept walking, and going through turns and corners in the house. Which definitely, Arianna never knew existed. The lane was dark with little to no light, and they further walked down a long stairs. Their heavy footsteps came to a halt at a black double door, and Leonel opened the door. They both walked into the large hall. A young man was tight up on a chair in the middle of the hall, and he had his head bent and his eyes closed. Ryan climbed up three to four steps and sat on a black chair. He crossed one leg over the other as he stared at the man, and then a smile went up his face.
"Wake him up" he said. Rugged and extremely dark was his voice.
Leonel walked to the man after picking up a jar, and then he emptied the ice cold water on his body. The man gasped as the cold water greeted his flesh rudely. He shivered, his flesh and blood freezing. He turned pale like white sheet of paper. His eyes scanned the area, searching for where the water came of.
"Wakie, wakie" Leonel spoke when their eyes met. "Rise and shine" he smiled, and then returned to his seat as the devil's assistant. The man's eyes followed him through his wet locks, breathing heavily, and his eyes fell on the devil on the chair.
His head was tilted to the side, staring intently at him like he wanted to see through him. And then a smile went up his face and he straightened his head.
"Who are you?" the man asked. "Why have you tied me up?!"
"Easy" Leonel spoke "You shouldn't yell in front of the CEO of Han group"
The man's eyes widened and he looked back at Ryan. This is the CEO. Jeez, he really thought he was the devil. No wonder. Rumours about him were really true. He's terrifying.
"So..." his voice came, and chills ran down his spine. Such bone chilling voice "I was told you're the one who poisoned the foods my workers suffered hard to produce. Tainting their efforts, and putting millions of lives at risk. Isn't that so?'
Though he feared the name 'Han Yun Shin', and the person said to own the name, he didn't show off his fears right now.
"That's right. I did it" he replied and Ryan smiled.
"You're a good kid. Honesty is good. You should always be honest even if you're going to die" Ryan said. "So...why did you?"
"I was just following orders" he answered.
"Orders from who?"
"Your enemy" he answered with a straight face.
"I have a human enemy?" he asked with tilted head, "Sigh....I didn't know. Who's the lucky one?"
The man stared. How can he call his enemy lucky to have him as an enemy? However, he answered "It's not in my principles to say"
"Oh" Ryan said, and looked at Leonel. "We should give him new principles" he told him. And then turned back to face the man. "What is your name?" he asked. The man just looked away, wondering what he's name has got to do with this.
"You won't speak?"
"You don't need to know my name"
"Ah.... A nice name you've got. Ju Shi woo. Nice" Ryan spoke and the man looked up. How did he know? But whatever, he doesn't care. "So back to business. No more joking. Who's orders were you under?"
He didn't speak, he only said 'Go to hell' inwardly. Ryan nodded, "Let's go to hell together then" he stretched his hand towards Leonel and a remote control was placed on it. Ryan pressed a red button. And the next second, screams filled the room as the man was being electrocuted from the chair he sat. His body jerked, he struggled to free himself from the seat. His eyes grew red and clouded with tears, he screamed, his blood shocked towards his bones.
After fifty seconds, Ryan turned it off, and the man's head dropped. He breathed out heavily. Tears rolled out of his eyes at the pain. But still he refused to speak. "No?" Ryan spoke and the man answered with silence. Ryan turned it on again. Once again cries of agony filled the room, much more louder. His veins popped out, and his eyes seemed to bulge out. He groaned out painfully, looking up to the ceiling. He hoped it would end after another fifty seconds, but it didn't. It continued. Blood flowed out of his mouth this time and it was then that Ryan turned it off.
"I..." he stuttered "Y-you can kill me. B-but I won't say a thing" he said.
"You're one loyal dog" Ryan said, really angry this time. He stood up, and Leonel knew what would happen next.
"I'll handle it, young master" he said, coming to stand in front of him. Ryan shot him glare, and could see his pupils were cylindrical. "Move aside" he ordered him. But Leonel still stood in his way.
"I said I'll handle it"
"Move. Aside" Ryan spoke and walked passed him, hitting their shoulders in the process. He walked to one corner of the room, and picked up a tray and then walked back to the man. He picked up a coal with pliers. He stared at it with a deep gaze. The next second the man's eyes widened, seeing the coal was on fire. H-how? How is it burning?! Ryan watched the entire coal turn red and then he looked at the man. Horror devoured him as he stared at the coal. He became the real definition of being horrified. Ryan ripped off his shirt, bringing his hand towards his chest...
"No. No, no! Argh!!!!" he screamed on his lungs, pain burning his flesh. "Argh!! Stop, stop, please " he pleaded.
Ryan pulled the coal away from his skin "You never thought of the thousand people that would have died if the foods were sold out. Following orders, huh.... It made you my enemy. And let me tell you, I don't kill enemies" he placed the coal on his chest again, and the man screamed out in agony. Jerking his body on the seat.
"Please! Please!"
"Still won't say who sent you?" Ryan spoke as he placed the coal back on the tray. The man glared at Ryan, still not saying a word. Ryan looked at his tied hands. "Your nails are really ugly. Let me help you...beautify them" he pulled his nails with the pliers with one swift movement. The man screamed, blood gushed out at the sudden pull. Ryan pulled out the nail of his middle finger, and further on. He screamed, begging. But still won't speak. The more he delayed, the more angered Ryan became. He pulled out all his nails , burned him with coal, and whipped him repeatedly with spiny whips. Tearing his flesh apart.
A stream of blood flowed on the ground. The man sat like a dead body. He had several deep cuts and burns on his body, and he really wished for death. Death was the only way. Maybe he should bite his tongue and just die. That moment, Ryan caught his jaw, forcing his mouth open so he wouldn't be able to bite his tongue.
"How foolish. You prefer to die than to say the truth and live. Wow... You're really foolish. Your so called boss is really enjoying his life now while you suffer on his behalf. You're being loyal but he's not. Just say and live your life"
"W-would y-you...let me go if I tell you?"
"That's right. You're tired of the pain aren't you?"
He hesitated, but when he opened his mouth, the words that came out was... 'F**k you!'
Ryan took a step back, staring at him with tired eyes. His claws elongated and he sunk it into the mans chest slowly. He screamed in horror. He really was the devil in human form. This was purely a nightmare. Seeing a human with claws...or maybe not human. He's in hell.
Ryan dug his claws in, he could feel his ribs breaking apart. The pain was intense and he begged for salvation. Just that moment, something fell from behind and they all turned to look towards the door. Ryan's eyes grew wide as he saw Arianna by the door. Her eyes had tears in them and her hand covered her mouth.
