The bodyguard pushed the door open.
Ray walked in front, heading into the cer.
Then, the bodyguard pushed Luke''s wheelchair and walked in as well.
The cer was not as dark as he had imagined. It was brightly lit, and he could see everything clearly.
A man was chained to a steel bar that was as thick as an adult human.
The clothes on the upper half of the man''s body had been taken off. There were fresh bruises on his
body. Just by looking at them, it was obvious that it was Ray''s men who beat him up after they found
him.
“This is the man who secretly broke into my house."
The man lifted his head and nced at Ray when he was talking. The expression on his face was
evillooking. Then, he lowered his head. Not a word of pleading escaped his mouth.
Even though he was being held as a prisoner now, he was still arrogant.
Luke looked at the man in front of him. He had blonde hair with a Western appearance. Even though
he had been captured, his expression was still prideful. He had this evil look in his eyes.
"What do you think?" Luke asked Ray. It was Ray''s vi. That was why he should not be interfering with
the interrogation.
"I have to go on with the interrogation first," said Ray. Even so, he knew that he would not be able to
get any answers from this man.
Luke nodded without saying anything.
Ray''s subordinate grabbed a chair for him. Ray sat on the chair. He left Hansen responsible for the
interrogation session.
"Who sent you?" Hansen asked.
The man who was tied up kept silent and gave him a dirty look.
Hansen was pissed. He punched the man in his stomach right away. Everyone there could hear the
loud and clear thud of his punchnding on the man''s stomach.
"Speak. Who sent you?"
The man lifted his head and sneered. He looked at Ray instead of Hansen. "Aren''t you a big shot? Find
it out yourself, then."
Ray was toying with the cigar in his hands with a cold expression on his face.
After all these years, this was the first time someone dared to break into his vi. Fortunately, he was
able to capture the man. Only a few of his men were injured, so it was not very serious.

However, if Ray had not managed to capture that person and the news spread out in the underworld
scene, everyone would start thinking they could trample all over him.
When the man realized that he had failed to provoke Roy, he continued, “Well, I thought you were
better than this. But this is all there is to you, huh?"
A loud smack sounded right after he said that. A hand pped him right across his face.
Hansen gave him a p, and the man''s face was all red.
The man puckered his lips and spat out a mouthful of blood. A tooth was knocked out by the p.
Then, the man said angrily, "Finish me off if you have the guts to do so. Even if you kill me, I''d rather
die than tell you who sent me!"
"Do you really think we won''t dare to do so?" Hansen rolled up his sleeves and lifted his fist.
"Wait," Ray interrupted Hansen.
"Boss! He''s asking for it. We should teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he''ll think we don''t have the guts!"
Hansen clenched his fist and yelled as he was eager to give this man a piece of his mind.
It had been a while since they fought, but that did not mean that they were to be messed with.
Ray had been asking them to train themselves, and they had never missed any training sessions. If
they were to fight, they were unlikely to lose.
"What''s the point of beating him to death?" Ray rolled his eyes at Hansen. He had to at least figure out
something. He needed to know if the man wasing after him or Luke, as well as who was the force
behind him.
The man heard their conversation. Even though his face was still red and swollen, he sneered and
said, "You''re just a coward, like I said."
"Do you wanna get beaten up again?" Hansen was still tempted to beat him up even though Ray had
stopped him.
"Come on, then! You''ll never know who''sing after you if I''m dead and when he''s going to make his
next move!" The man provoked him. He had never thought of returning the moment he got captured.
He only came to carry out his mission. It was a relief to him no matter if the mission seeded or not.
Hansen could not help but think of beating him up.
"Stop!" Ray yelled.
"Boss, if we don''t teach him a lesson, he''ll think we don''t have the guts to do anything to him!" Hansen
loosened his grip and clenched his fist again as he could not hold himself back any longer.
Ray stared at the man and asked, "I''m giving you another chance. Who''s after me?"
The man lifted his head and nced at Ray. Then, he lowered his head and sneered, "Don''t you have
any idea who you''ve offended?"
Luke, who was listening to their conversation beside them, frowned.
The man deliberately said so to arouse Ray''s suspicion and make him suspect the underworld
organizations that had disputes with him before.
After all, Ray''s family had existed for more than a century in Russia. It was normal for his family to have
some disputes with other organizations.
Even so, everything had been stable thus far regardless of the disputes between them.
No one would be willing to ruin the peaceful situation now, given the benefits that they had been
receiving all this while. After all, current society was governed byw. There were many things that
were inconvenient for them to do.
“Ray, I''d like to have a word with you," said Luke.
Ray threw the cigar on the ground and nodded. Then, he signaled the bodyguards behind him to push
Luke out of the cer.
Ray lowered his voice and warned the man after Luke left, "I''m giving you another half a minute. Think
about whether you''d like to tell me or not."
After that, Ray left the cer.
Luke asked the bodyguard to continue pushing him in his wheelchair until the people in the cer could
not hear their conversation. Then, he asked the bodyguard to stop and wait for Ray.
Ray caught up with him not long after that. He asked, "Luke, did you find anything out?"
"When I was listening to him just now, it seemed like he was trying to start a war." Luke believed that
Ray had sensed it too.
"Yes. He''s trying to pass the buck to the organizations that my family had conflicts with before." Ray
was not dumb, and he refused to believe what that man was saying.
Although there was a possibility that he was sent by one of the organizations, he told Ray to confuse
him.
However, that might be a lie too.
Ray could not draw conclusions recklessly for the sake of his subordinates and family business.
"Ask your men to check his body and see if there are any tattoos on him. Also, get someone in your
family who knows how to make the potion ording to the form that I gave youst time," said
Luke. He suspected that the man was someone from the Ind of Despair.
They had done such things back then as well.
Perhaps the mastermind behind the Ind of Despair thought the forces in Russia were too peaceful,
and that was why he sent someone to break into Ray''s vi and wreak havoc.
Ray was probably not the only one who came across a situation like this. The others might have
encountered such a thing too.
However, it was not dawn yet. The news had yet to spread out. Hence, this was only his spection.
"You''re suspecting the Ind of Despair?" Ray frowned.
"Those who made a mess at your domaintely are probably them too," Luke reminded him of what
they had discussed before.
"I''m getting it done now," said Ray. He turned to look at his subordinate and asked, "Where''s Winson?"
"Boss, Winson is in New York now. Have you forgotten about that? He asked for a leave. He said that
he''ll be taking an advanced course," the bodyguard reminded Ray.
Winson was the family''s pharmacist. Most of the medicines were prescribed by him.
He was a talented person with a high education level. Therefore, Ray allowed Winson to take up an
advanced course abroad. He even supported him financially.
