"It took quite a while before they finally started talking. But Irene knows very well how to make people open their mouths."
She paused briefly before adding with a complicated expression, "Her torture methods were… pretty efficient — ah, don't ask about it. Trust me, you really don't want to know."
Even after hearing that warning, Ruvian still could not stop his curiosity from wandering for a moment. Just what kind of torture method did Irene even use?
Still, he wisely decided not to ask further.
"Anyway," Silvena continued as her expression gradually became more serious, "according to them, Julian was indeed the one who ordered them to do it."
She narrowed her eyes slightly.
"But there's one strange part that doesn't make sense."
Ruvian quietly listened.
"They said Julian told them to meet him at the abandoned storage area behind the old combat arena," she explained slowly. "But when they arrived there, Julian himself never showed up."
