A Suicidal Mafia Heir 03

Xiu Lin remained indifferent in the face of the one who was said to be the one who interview him. The man was no older than his own dad. Probably around his forties, muscular, bearded, intimidating and well, someone who could surely torture someone. The person, Mo Xunian who said that he's going to be the one to do it was a step too late.

For the purpose to give the young man a scare, of course, the intelligence needed to bring out one of the cruelest of their members.

In a small room about five and a half square meters, a blank mirror on the very right side where only those who were outside could watch, a light hanging above the center of the ceiling and a table that separated the two of them. On top of that table lay different pictures of familiar old people including his father.

"Kid, if you talked right now, it'll be easier to let you go." The man said. His voice was low and raspy which made the young man mentally cringe.

Xiu Lin didn't react at all. He only stared at the pictures without a word. But obviously, some of them are familiar from the original body's memories.

Slam!

The old man slammed the table so suddenly. In this way, he could make the prey disoriented due to panic and would feel even more stimulated with fear. That was what he wanted Xiu Lin to feel. But the person in front of him did not even flinch.

"What I know, I will only take to the grave with me." he said quietly and calmly.

"Listen here brat, the weapons your family is selling is directly supporting war. Did you even think how many people will die if this continues?!" Then the man showed his anger, pointing out the issue. He looked at Xiu Lin with a look of contempt but there was still no reaction.

The young man leaned his elbows on the table and tapped it with his nail. "Once that happens, I will take responsibility." he responded with a smile.

"An eighteen year old brat like you? You think you can do something when everyone in the underground could easily suppress you? Who do you think you are?"

Xiu Lin smiled at him fearlessly. To annoy someone whose already angry, smiling is the best weapon to stimulate them.

But on the very next second, the young man who was smiling lightlly earlier had his head tilting side. Blood dripped out of his lips and he felt that his cheeks turned sore. He slowly raised his head back, his eyes didn't even change as if it wasn't in pain.

[Wow host, you look cool there! The pain reduction is really effective!] 1204 commented in his head.

'I know right.' Xiu Lin ate popcorn in his mind while watching the next thing the man will do. Since the System learned to share, the young man was already in a better mood and watched his body being passive.

The man didn't disappoint the two popcorn eaters, grabbing his wrist up, forcing him to stand himself. "You must be curious what this little accessories do." he sneered.

"Yes, I'm quite wondering what too." he replied casually.

He was then thrashed on the floor. The wound on his back opened again but due to the pain reduction features that 1204 updated on him nowadays, he didn't noticed it. Not having time to stand, Xiu Lin felt something on his wrist. It felt ticklish, tingling in his body and then he suddenly started trembling as if having epilepsy.

Electrocution?

Signs of burns soon emerged out of his skin, smoking and smelly. He frowned and coughed. 'Should I actually pretend that I'm hurt?'

[Do what you want host.]

The young man swallowed the popcorn he was chewing and clapped his hands to tap off some food debris. 'Sighs... okay...'

Xiu Lin just followed the pattern of the electric current crawling through his body without a sound. When it was done, he collapsed on the ground, laid on the floor covering his eyes with one arm. His shoulders were shaking. The man watched, wondering if he's finally crying to beg for mercy and talk.

"Pfft-- haha"

An attractive laughter hit his ears. The young man's lips were all smiles as he laughed like crazy. Not only the man but the people outside observing him were caught off guard by this.

"You're going to have to use a stronger bolt if you want to kill me." He advised.

Kill him? That damn bolt is enough hurt paralyze and shock him to the point that he couldn't stand! Why would anyone kill him early in the game when he haven't even said anything useful?

"Come on, send a really strong poison or just shoot me in the head. Want me to sing music to your ears, please dream on." he continued provoking. "As if I haven't went through that. Do you think a son of a big boss got it all easy? Even if you dug all nails and organs out, I won't even tell you anything useful. You're not even worth the information I have."

[Host is so domineering! But please, can you not provoke people to kill you and actually do your job! I thought you've decided to fulfil your duty as a host!] the system complained.

'Oh I did say I'll complete a mission. But it doesn't mean that I'll give up my opportunity to die early as well so it can help subtract more worlds.'

[Host, don't do this to me...]

'Don't worry. After a week. If I'm still alive, I'll take the mission seriously.'

Xiu Lin went back to reality when he felt like he couldn't move one of his hand. His eyes turned to the side and saw the shoe that had stump on it. Then he heard it cracked. Oh, it was his bone...

The man was unsatisfied and kicked him on the waist. It's not about questioning anymore! It's about searching for a way to make this bastard cry and beg for mercy! Teach him pain. The torturous, the better!

Xiu Lin meanwhile, tried to shield himself just to lessen some injury and broken bone later. And honestly, is his 'boyfriend' really just going to watch him?

Thinking about it, Xiu Lin decided to retaliate. He kicked the man's knee as strong as he could and to his surprise, he heard the crack. The man shouted in agony in just one blow, collapsing on the ground and holding his broken knee. Xiu Lin almost forgot that the original body was actually trained in some martial arts and many more to defend himself when things like this comes so he obviously has leg strength. Enough to break a bone.

The interrogation room opened. The first person to enter was Mo Xunian whose eyes were on Xiu Lin's bruised appearance. Second to enter was Hawk who assisted his injured colleague with an embarrassed sigh. "Seriously man? In just one kick, your old bones already bent?" he asked, supporting him stand as he sent a deadly glare at Xiu Lin.

"Fuck it hurts!" the man roared, tears almost dripped.

Seeing at the beaten appearance of the young man, Mo Xunian felt guilty. As soon as he was electrocuted, he already wanted to rush inside to stop it. But he was stopped by others, saying that he should wait and only go if things went out of hand. When the man started beating this smaller boy, his heart began to clench tight. Seeing him defensively compressed himself into a ball to avoid the hit and the old gunshot wound on his back opening again, he already stormed in. The exact same time Xiu Lin avenged himself by kicking the man's knee.

Seeing no movement of help from the staring Mo Xunian, Xiu Lin gave up the wait and stood up on his own, only to stagger back onto the floor as if one of his joints gave in. 'I'm hungry...'

[That's normal host, no one fed you eversince you came to this world.]

'Yeah. I'm actually disappointed with my man right now. He can't even feed me.'

[H-host. Did you just call Mo Xunian... your man?]

'Isn't he my boyfriend? That's normal.' Xiu Lin shrugged.

[Eh... I thought you two already broke up when you knew that he was only using you to gain information?]

'He didn't ask for a break up tho... so he's still technically in a relationship with me.'

[What if he didn't know that and actually hooked up with the female protagonist like in the original story?]

Xiu Lin didn't know what to say. The idea actually made his heart jumped in pain just thinking about it. But after a few seconds of contemplation, he replied. 'Then he's a cheating bastard. He doesn't deserve me.' he said in a complicated mood.

Mo Xunian slowly approached the quiet young man, carefully carrying him in his arms. Xiu Lin looked at him and slowly closed his eyes dependently, feeling tired after pretending to be hurt. Acting is tiring.

Xiu Lin trusts Mo Xunian enough to lay comfortably in his arms but was still a bit disappointed in him for just watching there and letting him get hurt. He could only frown and comfort himself with the small warmth he can have when he's near. He just have to make do with what he can have, knowing that it might soon end between them. After all, Mo Xunian didn't even like him, only used him, and will meet the female lead soon.

He fell asleep tiredly after that. The effect of the pain erasing on his body was the exchange of his own energy and he was also emotionally drained.

Xunian took him directly back to his room--cell, and have a doctor check on him. After the treatment, the young man didn't wake up. Even on the next day when Mo Xunian came back to change his bandages, his eyes were still closed and there was not even a sign of movement from the monitor room.

Because of this odd behavior, Mo Xunian had to call the doctor again, in case something happened to Xiu Lin's external organs or his brain even.

But the diagnosis gave no proper answer. Phoenix could tiredly say. "Maybe it's how his body cope in terms of healing. Also, feed him something or at least give him some clean water, he's already too thin and his throat is beginning to dry up. It's a good thing the room can provide him with tap water to survive. But do you think that's enough for a growing boy? Are you guys that heartless? Even if he's our prisoner, at least treat him like a human." The doctor scolded.

Mo Xunian who didn't realize that even after rescue, Xiu Lin never ate anything was surprised. How long has he been locked here? He only lived off of tap water? Great. For someone who promised Xiu Lin to keep him alive, he's doing a damn good job doing the opposite.

Phoenix left and Mo Xunian sat beside the bed with a heavy sigh. He touched the young man's soft silver hair then rubbed his forehead, avoiding the bruises on his face.

Looking at this, Mo Xunian was confused himself.

Why is he feeling guilty? Isn't this normal? He shouldn't have attachment to this boy. He only came close to him because of job, he didn't even feel guilty thinking that he's nothing but another target. An information sheet waiting to be flipped to another page.

But now... seeing him this hurt and thin crushed his soul.

This isn't what he wanted.

He wondered how Xiu Lin feels towards him. For Xiu Lin to think of his condition first and not complaining how hurt he is. Back then, he thought that the kid was just a playboy who would hook up with people he finds attractive. They've never done anything too intimate aside from holding hands and watching movie together. Xunian even thought that he was disgusted with the small contact. He always thought he was enduring it that he almost want to vomit everytime Xiu Lin went closer to kiss his cheek. He always thought that he's someone who simply indulged until he was bored and leave them in the air.

At least that was what he thought. What he had always believed.

But after being kidnapped, after taking that bullet for him and after telling him to run and leave him. Viper's view about Xiu Lin turned.

He thought back on why he was disgusted at first and suddenly found nothing to fault him with. Xiu Lin never forced a relationship with him, he was the one who went near with a motive. The boy just bit the bait and started a relationship with him. Xiu Lin never asked him anything more than a simple date. Eating together, strolling, watching movies. Xiu Lin actually gave him proper space. He kissed his cheeks when he's happy, he hold his hands when there's only the two of them because the first time he did it in public, Mo Xunian showed that he was uncomfortable and looked embarrassed.

Xiu Lin was considerate. He cared of what he thought, what he felt and what he should do.

'Even the old Xiu Lin fell in love with him, huh?' Xiu Lin was in the space reviewing the story.

[That's right host. He died regretting that he wasn't able to protect Viper from losing an arm. Such love. He didn't even hate him knowing that he was only played for the sake of information.] 1204 wiped his nonexistent tears.

'I guess, let's plan our leave. I'll find a better woman.'

[Really, host? Why a woman, didn't you already failed hooking up with women?]

'Remember, in this world, I am bisexual.'

System decided to keep quiet. [Aren't you already one even before this world?]
