Methods of Torment

"Boom" the sound rang for a long time in the ears of the police officer as his mind turned hazy and stars seemed to be dancing in front of his eyes.

They all looked at the ball that had come suddenly and hit him on his face.

"Who threw the ball?" the people around him shouted but no one responded. They all were busy muffling their laughter looking at the bizarre scene.

"Are you, okay, officer Lee?" asked the policeman standing behind him as he glared at others with a daunting gaze.

A few of them stopped laughing while Hao held the hand of the girl who was stunned with the sudden appearance of the ball. She knew it was her ball but she was sure she had not played it for long yet it was there in her room this morning.

"You need to come back now!" she felt the touch of a warm hand in her cold hands and turned to look at Hao.

Though his voice and face was still cold, his eyes had a bit of warmth in it that surprised her. It was the first time she was seeing expressions on his face except annoyance.

"There is a large group of people in the hospital having small injuries to serious wounds. A few of them had all their bones broken yet the man did not even have a mark of scratch on his body.

Yet you are saying that he had beaten all of them severely in self defense? We need to look into the matter closely and if you try to interfere further then we will take you with us too." warned another officer to finish the matter soon and leave from here.

While the first continued to rub the head of his boss.

The police officer rubbed his head a few more times then waved his hands and the other two policemen came forward and held Hao's hands from both sides.

He eyes Rihanna one more time, before leaving with them.

Hao did not resist this time except looking at the girl with serene eyes.

"Do not follow me and worry about me. I will come back before tonight if I don't inform Shao Min that I will not be able to train her tomorrow."

Before he could speak further, they handcuffed him and started dragging him when the handcuff turned into ashes and fell on the floor which they did not even notice as they were holding him by his arms.

The only one who was happy with the whole turn of events was Zhao Wei, who was looking at them with glee.

While Rihanna just stood there with a bitter face. She wanted to help him but she knew that she did not have that power. If only she would have been strong enough!

They took Hao into the car and it sped off. One the car disappeared from their eyes many came and started cursing the policeman. They all were tormented by one or another gang.

So, they were joyous when they had seen or heard Hao had beaten all of them. But now they were a bit worried that he would be the one to bear the brunt.

But none of them came forward to speak in his favor.

When Rihanna looked at them cursing the police, she laughed bitterly and her eyes turned cold,

"Ha! You all got benefit because of him, he is the hero of this area. Yet none of you spoke in front of the policemen when needed. You are not even worth protecting!!" her tone was cruel and her face was disgusted while she looked at them.

When she saw them bowing their heads in embarrassment, she did not feel any better but further vulnerable and ran towards the gym back.

Once the car reached the police station, Hao was dragged out of the car and pulled towards a dark room. But when they held his hands to tie his handcuff to the chair, their eyes narrowed.

"Hey, did you forget to handcuff him?" asked the first in confusion while glaring at the second.

"What are you talking about?" asked another as he came running and checked the hands by himself in confusion. He was sure that he had handcuffed the man.

But the man was with them all this time, so how could he get a chance to open it? And if that would have been the case, they would have heard the sound of falling handcuffs.

They all looked at each other with confusion but in the end only pursued their lips and did not say a word.

While they were bewildered, Hao was looking around as if he had just checked into a new hotel and was curious about it.

He head heard that humans had made jails to punish the criminals and extreme torture was done there but no matter how he look at it. It was nothing but a dark room.

"What are you looking at so curiously, are you not afraid that you will be tortured here or suffer in our hands?" asked officer Lee finally entering the room.

He had an evil smirk on his face as he brought another policeman with him that was looking muscular and robust. They all looked at him as if the beasts were looking at their prey.

But only disdain filled the eyes of Hao. as if he had heard a joke, a mocking smile formed on his lips, "what are you talking about? This room did not even deserve to be called a strict room let alone be torture.

Fill the lava in the room and then bring a big bathtub and fill it with molten lava or burning oil and put humans into it. Then use the burning coal to massage their body. And when they try to shout,. Fill their whole mouth with the burning coal and once they are burnt enough, take them out and bury them in the snow!"

"..........."
