418: Torture was inflicted before the medicine was extracted.

Piao Dayong was tortured for over an hour.

Every method was used on him, but Piao Dayong stubbornly endured, completely unwilling to speak.

"Is this guy really that hard-headed?"

Pandora was also surprised when she heard her subordinate's words, completely unexpected that Piao Dayong could withstand the torture from her subordinates.

She knew that Piao Dayong was a coward who feared death; the only reason she took him with her was out of pity. Also, Piao Dayong often hid during missions and never dared to step forward, as his strength was not particularly great.

"I'll go take a look."

Jiang Chuan smiled when he heard Pandora and her subordinate talking, and said to her.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Pandora agreed after hearing Jiang Chuan's words; she also wanted to see when Piao Dayong had become so unyielding.

"Pandora Heavenly Lord, I truly haven't betrayed you. You must have been deceived."

"Lady Pandora, I have always been very loyal to you. You must believe me."

Piao Dayong saw Pandora arrive. Although he was very weak at the moment, he knew Pandora was his last hope and kept begging for mercy.

Jiang Chuan just smiled as he watched these guys brutally interrogate Piao Dayong.

"I'll teach you how to make someone talk."

Jiang Chuan glanced at Pandora's subordinates, gave a cold laugh, and then walked over to Piao Dayong.

Piao Dayong looked at Jiang Chuan in front of him. He knew that the man before him was their target this time, and also a Heavenly Lord.

He kept begging for mercy, claiming he had not betrayed the Heavenly Lord Society.

Jiang Chuan didn't care about his pleas; since he had found him, he naturally could make him talk.

Jiang Chuan immediately ordered his men to pull out Piao Dayong's fingernails, beginning the ten most brutal tortures of Huaguo.

"I was wrong, I'll talk, I'll confess everything."

Piao Dayong only endured two tortures before he finally couldn't take it anymore. The feeling of wishing for death made him completely collapse, and he could only honestly confess.

The surrounding personnel looked at Jiang Chuan's methods of torture, and their gazes towards Jiang Chuan were now filled with fear. They had not expected this handsome and gentle-looking man to possess such ruthless methods.

Jiang Chuan noticed their gazes but paid them no mind, focusing instead on Piao Dayong.

"I thought you could last longer, but you couldn't even withstand two tortures. Speak, I'm listening. I hope you'll be honest now, otherwise, I don't mind letting you try the subsequent tortures."

As Jiang Chuan's words fell, his gaze fixed on Piao Dayong's eyes. He would definitely be able to tell if the other party lied.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will confess."

At this moment, Piao Dayong dared not harbor any other thoughts and could only honestly recount everything in detail.

Piao Dayong told Jiang Chuan and the others that he had indeed become Hankins' man.

Hankins promised him that if he could successfully help Hankins eliminate Jiang Chuan and Pandora, he would become a top figure in America. Hankins also brought all his family members to America, effectively controlling them. At the same time, Hankins and his people also removed the antidote from his body, allowing him to become a normal person. However, Hankins simultaneously used other drugs to control him, making him only able to obey Hankins' orders, otherwise he and his family would die.

"What did you say?"

When Jiang Chuan and Pandora heard that Hankins could actually remove the antidote from the other party's body, both of them were shocked. They then immediately ordered the others to leave, leaving only Jiang Chuan and Pandora in the room.

"Ah?! Two Heavenly Lords, I have already confessed honestly. I hope you can spare me."

Piao Dayong heard Jiang Chuan and Pandora's words, noticed their shocked gazes, but didn't know what had happened, only begging them to spare him.

"You said Hankins removed the antidote injected into your body? Is that true?"

Pandora was somewhat agitated at this moment, looking at Piao Dayong and slowly uttering these words.

"Ah!"

Piao Dayong heard Pandora's words and didn't expect her to be excited about this matter. He then said without hesitation.

"That's right, Hankins told me that, but whether it's true or not, I actually don't know."

"But Hankins told me one thing: as long as we have been injected with the antidote, we are controlled by the Heavenly Lord Society. We must continuously inject the antidote, otherwise the power within it will turn us into mummified corpses and we will die completely. After Hankins removed the antidote from my body, I no longer have this worry."

Piao Dayong also honestly answered Pandora, not daring to conceal anything.

"You don't need to ask too many questions. He probably doesn't know much. To find out more, you can only find Hankins."

Jiang Chuan saw Pandora still wanting to continue questioning and immediately said this to Pandora beside him.

"I understand."

Although Pandora was unwilling, she also wanted to know how Hankins had removed the antidote from their bodies, and ultimately could only agree.

"Your helper in Clockwork Country is Stephen, right? Hankins is also staying with Stephen."

Jiang Chuan looked deeply at Piao Dayong in front of him and slowly spoke these words.

"Our helper is indeed Stephen. He has many collaborations with America, and he is also an American operative. As for whether Hankins is with Stephen, I don't know, because I can only contact Hankins unilaterally."

Piao Dayong heard Jiang Chuan's words and unhesitatingly told Jiang Chuan everything he knew.

"Very good. Next, you immediately send a message to Hankins, directly telling him that this mission has been canceled, and they will move against Stephen in a week."

Jiang Chuan looked at Piao Dayong beside him and slowly spoke these words.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' Do as I say, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jiang Chuan didn't give Piao Dayong any chance to speak, saying these words with absolute coldness.

"I understand."

Piao Dayong wanted to live, so he could only obey Jiang Chuan's orders. He used his methods to contact Hankins again and then relayed the message.

On the other side, Hankins frowned when he saw the message from Piao Dayong.

He wasn't sure about the authenticity of the message, but he believed Piao Dayong wouldn't betray him, as he knew Piao Dayong feared death and he held Piao Dayong's life and death in his hands.

After confirming with the other party, Hankins learned that the operation was indeed canceled. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not stop moving to a different location.
