<h4>Chapter 180 Torture and Information </h4>


    Ellora City!


    Arriving at the prison beneath the City Lord estate was Hanya, in tow with In. Arriving at a cell, she threw him inside with force, "This is your home from today onwards."


    "You…you''ll regret everything." In gasped for breath and muttered.


    "No longer arrogant, are we?" Hanya grinned and gagged him, preventing him from speaking. His limbs were already mushy. Hence, she nailed them to the floor, making eye contact with In to utter softly, "Be patient, alright?"


    "We''ll be spending a lot of time together from now onwards." Saying so, she erected a sludgy dome around In. No third party would be able to enter it, ensuring In wouldn''t be able to escape too.


    She then returned to the living room of the City Lord estate, staring at Gudora to speak, "In has been secured now."


    "Good work," Gudora retired for the day, taking a nap, "Wake me up in a few hours. I need to prepare for tomorrow''s meeting."


    "Alright," Hanya nodded and returned to the prison, taking seat on afortable cushion as she downed some medicine and circted her Prana, recovering from her injuries.


    From time to time, she observed In, smiling upon seeing him remain put in ce, ''Good, he''s not creating a racket.''


    Evening that day, she opened her eyes, having finished her recovery. She entered the cell and stopped before In, seeing that he had lost a mild amount of muscle mass, "Empyrean Tusks have a voracious appetite. How does going hungry for a change feel?"


    "…" In stared at her in silence, not expressing anything.


    "You don''t need to talk. I have methods to strip information from your mind. But before they arrive," She brought a woman in her twenties who had drowned herself in debt.


    "W-What should I do, Lady Hanya?" The woman asked, trembling.


    "Bear his child…" Hanya hadn''t even finished her sentence when a gust of wind mmed into them, knocking them to the end of the corridor where they mmed hard into the wall.


    "You bastard!" Hanya shook her head, experiencing a mild concussion. She hurriedly circted her Prana to heal the damage and swerved her head to the side, her eyes widening to see the woman was knocked unconscious, bleeding from multiple areas.


    "Let''s see how much you can resist." Snorting in response, Hanya snapped her finger, causing a couple of guards to escort the woman out. She brought another woman and entered the cell, being sent flying in response once again.


    But this time, she observed that the strength behind the wind was a tad weaker, ''Your strength is depleting quickly. It''s just a matter of time.''


    Her n was simple. She intended to have a woman bear In''s seed. If it seeded, they''ll obtain an Empyrean Tusk''s progeny. As long as they enved the progeny properly, they could use it to farm valuable resources.


    An Empyrean Tusk''s tusk was renowned across Sumatra as the hardest material. Moreover, it was the vitalponent necessary to make Storage Lanterns, the primary item sold by the Mammoth n.


    The Ganrimb Kingdom would be able to develop at a stronger pace as a result.


    Hanya didn''t mind being sent flying, which was the other aspect of her n. By showing her intention to make a woman bear In''s seed, she was making him defend himself. As long as he continued to do so, his strength would be deprived eventually.


    That would make it easy for her Intelligence Team to pry open In''s mind and extract information out of him. They were carefully nurtured with Human Avatars to be experts in the field of the mind.


    They regrly used it on the captured Slump Lizards to understand everything that was happening in the region. That was how Ganrimb Kingdom continued to prosper and remained at the top of things.


    The Intelligence Team was already waiting at the City Lord estate. But they had zerobat power. Hence, even the gentlest of attacks would be critical towards them. It was why Hanya was making In use up all his power.


    "Grr!" In raged, unable to speak while gagged. He inhaled arge volume of air and exhaled it sharply, sending another woman flying. But this time, the gust of wind only sent the woman flying halfway into the corridor.


    It wasn''t strong enough to m her into the wall like the first time. Of course, the woman had barely ten Prana. So, she couldn''t endure the impact, falling unconscious in response.


    Hanya didn''t mind that, since she had more women lying in wait. All of them were unable to pay their debts, having lost everything in gambling houses. Their fate was to be subjected to relentlessbour at the mines.


    Hence, Hanya could do whatever she pleased with them, promising them a future if they managed to bear In''s child. It was why those women were desperate.


    "Heh," Hanya chuckled upon seeing the gusts of wind weaken after every sessive use. ''It''s only a matter of time.''


    She stared at In grunting nonstop, seemingly harnessing all thetent power in him, grinning sadistically, ''Futile struggles.''


    Of course, she couldn''t be farther away from truth. In was simply exercising his acting skills.


    In the biome that his stomach had transformed into, an Empyrean Zinger cracked open a Prana Bomb, pouring it onto the stomach muscles. With In''s activation of Mystic Bone Art, the fluid in the Prana Bomb was digested little by little, causing his Prana to recover.


    He was steadily umting power but instead showed as if he was desperately holding on. There were plenty of Life Bombs in his biome, enough to make a full recovery and still have excess.


    His goal was simply to buy a week''s worth of time. By then, the Ganrimb Kingdom would be no more. ''The Millinger Catastrophe would begin shortly.''


    The moment he knew what was about to happen, In nned ordingly to make Gudora and the rest mistake him to be an Empyrean Tusk. As they couldn''t take responsibility for killing an Empyrean Tusk, upon getting clues that the Boar King would return, they would be happy to offer him to the Boar King and receive some benefits in return.


    In led them on perfectly, making Fhoong Brimgan assume it was his idea when in actually, that idea was simply nted in his mind through the manner in which In machined the sequence of events and information delivery.


    And as In expected, he was imprisoned. Now, he only needed to endure for a week to break free. Hence, he was acting to buy some time, making Hanya thing he was steadily expending all his strength.


    Besides, he was curious about the Intelligence Team, ''I never knew of their existence before this. I want to see how good they are.''


    Through his Mystic Skill Creator, In intended to derive a Skill that allowed him to gain information from his opponents, simr to his Prime Skill of Empyrean Slip but more forceful in nature. It was necessary for his future ns and since the best opportunity presence itself, he took action.


    Fhoosh!


    A woman was sent flying a few metres, only managing to startle her in response. Upon seeing that, Hanya grinned, snapping her finger as the Intelligence Team entered the prison.
