(Chapter 71.5) 18+ A Scene To Remember

**WARNING THIS CHAPTER WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY STORY, IT IS FULL OF BLOOD AND GORE. PLEASE READ AT YOUR DISCRETION.**

Lewis was now sitting beside Astrid in a room that heavily resembled a hospital room... If you took away the numerous torture devices scattered throughout the room, and the bloodstains on the floor.

"He never confessed Boss. I feel that he never had contact with them." There was Wu by her side reporting the situation.

Astrid didn't flinch as the man's body parts were collected up by a man wearing a black outfit. His face was covered in blood, he had tortured the man to death prior.

"Okay, bring in the next one." Astrid casually ordered. As she looked at Lewis.

He didn't flinch either, he had been accustomed to these scenes since young. He trained within the mafia and brought the family's under his control, so he wasn't fazed by this.

Wu bowed and clicked his fingers, revealing a door that was opening. And a female being sent in on a wheelchair.

That woman's hair was disheveled and her eyes were completely lifeless. The face looked to be on a person who used to take great care of themselves. But time in Astrid's warehouse. Had ruined her.

"She confessed that she only wished to seduce Mr. Tuhs, she wasn't ordered to do so by anyone." Wu summarized the confession of Direa.

Lewis glanced at Astrid. This was something he didn't know. But seeing Astrid's emotionless gaze at the woman. He couldn't identify anything, not through those eyes which looked strange on her.

"I see, make sure the boys enjoy her a little more. Since she is still alive, they must not have been working hard enough." Astrid, then sent Direa straight into the gates of hell once again.

Direa's body shivered, she might be going mad. But she can remember everything that had happened. Time after time. Day after day. She would be violated, over and over and over and over. She was a sex doll with no feelings. She was fed poorly, hydrated little. And she wished for death many times.

But she was denied such release. She would always be taken care of by doctors, given nutrition pills. She wished to die. Not to live like this...

Wu bowed. Not daring to mention that the men could no longer be interested in this woman. Just based on her destroyed appearance, they just didn't want to do anything to her...

Lewis found Astrid's cruel and heartless demeanor to be quite... pleasing. She held a lot of power, being nice to the enemy was a recipe for disaster. Even if this woman had nothing to do with Astrid's enemy. Dead men tell no tales.

He even gave a subtle smile in acknowledgment to the way Astrid treated her enemies.

He could never understand the stories of the male lead having a female lead that was full of compassion for their enemies. The world wasn't kind enough to allow such actions. Give one person mercy, an entire army could come back at you later... Why risk such a thing?

This situation lasted a few hours. Astrid and Lewis sat elevated above people who were brutally tortured by Astrid or her men. Some were missing vital organs, body parts. Some were wheeled in dead. She sat like a judge in court. Sending people to their death as she heard their confessions.

Lewis felt he was a cruel and violent person. But he quickly learned that Astrid was even crueler than him! Some of the methods of torture were something he had never heard of.

As a man was dragged away, he tried to scream and shout at the two men passing judgment at him. But no coherent sounds could come out.

He had his hands skinned and his fingers slowly cut one by one, then his feet were also skinned away, leaving pieces of skin all over the room. But the worst was when his tongue was cut off using a butter knife! The agonizing pain continued for hours, until scissors were finally used to completely disconnect his tongue.

He was then forced to used his toes to write a confession using his own tongue as a pen. If he showed any hesitation he was given an electric shock. If he couldn't write properly with his toes, his skin would be scrapped away slowly until he could.

The man was a mess. But the people in the room all had stoic faces watching him being dragged away by the same man wearing all black. He was the person who tortured most of the people. Was he mentally sane? No way. Astrid directly picked him up from his house. He was a serial killer the police were struggling to find. But Astrid offered the man a great deal. So now he tortured people for her...

Astrid slowly stood up and took her final sip of wine. "We are finished now. If you want to see anything else, Wu will escort you." Astrid put down her glass. And started to walk out of the cinema-like room.

Lewis sighed and looked toward Wu. He also didn't deem this man a threat based on his average look. But the respect and slight fear he had looking at Astrid.

"Mr. Guilliano, if you would like to follow me around?" Wu took the role of a servant, something he had done ever since Astrid took him under her wing, he was taught personally by her. Both in business and in the underworld. But he always remained himself lower than her. And now seeing the master of the Guilliano family, he did the same.

Lewis nodded and followed Wu around. He showed him every single room, and even explained many things. While Lewis was walking around he noticed the lack of any experimentation on technology. But he then remembered that Astrid probably had better ideas in her head. And that this base was one purely to torture confessions out of people...
