Chapter 368: 366 Chaos Start_1


    Continuous, chilling screams reverberated within the dimly lit room.


    As time went on, these screams gradually grew faint, sounding as if they would end any second.


    At first, Capen was interested in watching the punishment, but as time passed, he also began to get impatient.


    What he thought generally as a simple matter turned out to be a notable “surprise” from two thieves who were never significant in his eyes.


    “Ondo, are all your men this defiant?” Capen irately questioned Ondo, the master of thieves.


    Ondo was lost in his thoughts at the moment, not responding to Capen’s sarcasm.


    “Master…” The executioner suddenly turned around hesitantly, “Harry… is not going to make it…”


    Capen widened his eyes and approached to check Harry’s breath, indeed, Harry had already sumbed.


    With a light humph, he spoke to Bruce, who barely clung to life:


    “I guess you’re the only one left who can give me those bonds now. Confess promptly, or else you’ll end up like him!”


    With a wry smile, Bruce barely gasped out:<div>


    “Master… I… I really… didn’t take them…”


    “Good! Stick to your code!” Capenughed in anger, gesturing at the executioner, ruthlesslymanded, “Continue!”


    The room echoed once again with the eerie sounds of punishment and Bruce’s faint groans.


    This hellish experience transformed Bruce’s initial skepticism into current anger and despair.


    Thus he understood many things.


    He knew that no matter how he defended himself, no one would believe him.


    Compared to those priceless bonds, his life as a thief was insignificant.


    Even if he died innocently, no one would give a damn.


    But Bruce wouldn’t give up!


    Harry’s set up, Capen’s hypocrisy, Ondo’s negligence… all eventually led to Bruce’splete resentment.


    As he felt his own life slowly slipping away, a ruthless look, akin to a dying and desperate lone wolf, flitted in Bruce’s eyes.


    At that moment, he just wanted to destroy everything in front of him and make this wicked city fall with him!


    “I admit… I confess…”


    Hearing Bruce’s faint voice, Capen, who was on the verge of giving up, suddenly brightened, “Speak up!”


    However, Bruce’s gaze shifted to Ondo as he whispered:


    “Father… I’m sorry…I just can’t stand it anymore… I can only let you down…”


    Hearing these words, Ondo suddenly exploded in anger, yelling:


    “Bruce, what are you getting at?”


    Capen’s eyes flickered thoughtfully, as he asked:<div>


    “Bruce, could it be Ondo who instructed you to steal? Are the bonds with Ondo?”


    Before Bruce could answer, Ondo quickly stood up, took a few steps forward, stared into Bruce’s eyes and sternly said:


    “You better exin yourself clearly!”


    Bruce managed a bitter smile, but all he could utter was:<div>


    “Father… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”


    Capen immediately jumped in front of Bruce, urgently asking:


    “Tell me, are the bonds with Ondo? Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you as long as you tell the truth!”


    “Yes…” Bruce nodded weakly.


    Ondo immediately flew into a rage, shouting:


    “Bruce, you ungrateful wretch! How dare you frame me…”


    “Ondo!” Capen coldly turned around, “You better exin honestly! Or else…”


    While talking, Capen cracked his fists, his aura radiating out.


    Ondo was also enraged, but knew he was no match for Capen, he defensively argued like a vited maiden:


    “What do I have to confess? It’s Shawn clearly setting me up; can’t you see through such a simple scam?”


    Saying that, Ondo rushed to Bruce, grabbing his chin and intimidating:


    “Kid, don’t think you can use this trick to escape…”


    He couldn’t finish his words, because Bruce had abruptly ceased breathing.<div>


    Seeing this, Capen furiously pounced on Ondo, knocking him aside and roared:


    “Ondo! I warn you, these bonds are a major issue, it’s not something a leader of thieves can covet!


    If you don’t hand over the goods, don’t think about leaving Alfalfa City alive!”


    Confronted with Capen’s threat, suppressing anger surged in Ondo’s heart, he stood his ground and said confrontationally:


    “Capen! Do you think you can dominate singlehandedly in Alfalfa City? Remember, you are just a newbie who arrived here three years ago! If it weren’t for someone backing you up, do you really think we would willingly submit to you?


    I warn you too, don’t push your luck, otherwise, the waters of Alfalfa City are much deeper than you think!”


    Capen was taken aback andughed sarcastically, thennded a kick on Ondo’s stomach.


    Ondo’s henchmen who had gathered around frantically unsheathed their long swords, ring angrily at Capen.


    But Capen didn’t take these people seriously. Years of violent confrontations forged his iron willpower. As a fifth-tier Warrior, he had extraordinary confidence and arrogance; nobody here could threaten him.


    Capen coldly looked at Ondo, who had fallen to the ground. His voice filled with resolve: “I don’t care if that kid was lying or who really stole the bonds. But as the head of this city’s thieves, you must retrieve those bonds!


    I give you three days. If I don’t see the bonds in three days, well, you’d better prepare your body bag!”


    Having said that, Capen humphed dismissively and insolently squeezed through the crowd of Ondo’s henchmen who were giving him hostile looks.


    After Capen left, Ondo was helped back up.<div>


    But he immediately snatched a long sword from one of his men and, out of distress, started hacking at Bruce’s corpse.


    Not until Bruce’s corpse was brutally mutted and drenched in blood did Ondo stop, panting heavily.


    At this point, Ondo was filled with bitterness unjustified me suddenly ced upon his shoulders.


    Moreover, he also came to realization that Bruce yed him right at the brink of death.


    What a “faithful son”!


    After Ondo’s actions, it is likely that the entire city would soon know that those priceless bonds were in Ondo’s hands.


    But the key point was, he actually didn’t know anything!


    Even more critical, Ondo realized, if he can’t give something to Capen, what will happen after three days?


    His subordinates seemingly had the same thoughts and eagerly focused their attention on Ondo, waiting for hismands.


    After pondering for a while, Ondo finally grit his teeth and said adamantly: “Does that Capen really think he can dominate singlehandedly in Alfalfa City? Heh, follow me!”


    Having said that, he walked out.


    His underlings nced at each other before quickly following him.
