Chapter 99

"You're useless to me," Tony answers calmly.

While he finally finished taking out the pistol discreetly he acted in a sobbing tone, "Please I'll do anything."

"The fearless sheep gets eaten by the fox," Tony says to him in absolute calmness, void of emotion in his tone.

With a smile on his face as his head was on the ground, Li pulled out the pistol aiming it towards Tony's face as though he played his enemy on a devious trap.

Seeing the pistol that's aiming towards him Tony didn't react with the expected expression.

Instead he was just as calm and collected facing the weapon putting him at gunpoint.

The smile on Li's face spread wide like that of a creepy clown, "Look who's begging who now."

His yellow row of teeths were shown through his wide open smile as he taunted at Tony with his pistol.

While still aiming the gun at Tony Li stiffly stood up from his kneeling position on the ground.

"What now tough guy?" Li says in a comedic voice.

The barrel of the pistol he was holding with his right hand was only a couple inches away from Tony's nose.

"You shouldn't," Tony tells him off calmly glancing at the barral a couple inches away.

"Don't worry. I'll let you live," Li says reassuringly but turns into a creepy laughter, "...while giving you hell of a fun when I slowly mash each piece of your body as I keep you alive."

"How kind of you," Tony says to him in an emotionless manner.

Smiling as though they were chatting about everyday topics Li threatens, "No anxiety necessary. I'll keep everything as painful as possible."

While saying the word "painful" he stretched the first part of word longer, trying to get into the mind of his enemy in a sadistic way.

"Is this what you did to your worker today?" Tony asked serenely without a care of his precarious situation.

"Oh yes," Li says with excitement, "as for you, why don't we start with your legs?"

"Karma will return sooner than you think.," Tony tells him.

He ignores Tony's words and begins to deliberately lower the pistol aiming at Tony's still feet, with anxiousness, "It's just us two. Feel free to scream as loud as you want."

Boom

It wasn't the familiar sound that Li expected to hear from pulling the trigger of the pistol

It sounded more like something muffled the sound of the shot of the bullet and he quickly recognized a hand covering over the open barrel of the pistol.

"Huh?!!" Li was shocked to recognize it was actually the hand of Tony that was stopping the shot of the bullet.

But what was more shocking to his mind was that he wasn't able to see a scratch of bullet wound in Tony's hand.

His eyes bulged wide as the space between them was eliminated with the smell of gunpowder.

"You're a demon!!" Li says while trying again another shot with his pistol to no avail as the bullet gets stuck inside the barrel.

He wants to pull away the pistol from Tony's hand as his resort of protection against the horrifying opponent that's facing him with a playful smile.

But no matter how hard he pulled away with his right hand he just couldn't seem to overpower Tony's strength.

With effortless strength from his fingers Tony easily took away the pistol from Li's grasp and threw it behind like throwing away a useless trash.

Facing this nightmarish reality Li felt his feet weakened and gave in falling to the ground on his butt.

Squatting low on the ground Tony looks at Li calmly, "Do you feel anything strange inside your chest?"

He didn't expect Tony to ask such a question and placed a hand on his chest near his heart and there was this loud heartbeat.

However, there was something strange.

It was as though he could almost feel a pair of large hands gently wrapping its fingers on the exterior of his heart.

"The heart can be very fragile," Tony lectures him in a serene tone, "even a small poke with a sharp object can be extremely painful."

At this Li he can suddenly feel his heart touched by something spiking to the outer muscle of his beating heart.

He screams loudly in the office room in deepening pain as the needle-like object inside his chest touches against the muscles but doesn't pierce through.

"Kill me already, you demon!" Li shouts at Tony with a mix of anger and helplessness.

"No not just yet," Tony says to him emotionlessly, "the fun has just started."

Immediately he starts to find it very hard to breathe in addition to increasing pain to his heart.

It's like being drowned in water as he slowly suffocates from finding it hard to breathe in the oxygen in the air.

In addition to the feeling of heart being touched gently by numerous needles he finds his limbs becoming weaker and weaker by the seconds as he slowly gets suffocated alive.

Li's lips and skin turn pale as his head lays on the ground helplessly looking at Tony, tears drop down from the corner of his eye as he lives inside this unmoveable nightmare.

"Please...let me...die," Li breathes out while saliva drips from his mouth to the ground.

"I don't have time to play with you anymore," Tony says to Li who's on the ground emotionlessly. "Farewell."

Standing up from his squatting position Tony puts back on his face mask and walks to the door at the back of the room.

Snap

On the floor Li could feel the toture stop for a moment, as he takes into each breathe the fresh oxygen in the air.

Short lived was that excitement as he presently screams even louder than before inside the office as Tony steps out of the door.

Li could feel all the numerous 'needles' manifested from Tony's spiritual power pierce into his heart muscles.

Tony was able to know precisely the amount of blood loss to kill the gang boss Li slowly and torturously, killing the gang leader by the time he steps out of the factory.
