82. Two Vials

Chapter 82

Two Vials

Davy, in the private rooms on the second floor, was stunned as he watched the chaotic gunfight erupt downstairs.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Is the shooter a spy from the Tyger Claws? Damn it, have everyone prepare to fight!"

Davy roared, thinking it was an attack by their rivals, the Tyger Claws.

Just then, the private room door swing open.

Davy looked over and saw a stranger, his face instantly changing. Without a second thought, he pulled out his gun and fired.

Three bullets shot toward the doorway where Osborne stood, less than ten meters away. No ordinary martial artist could dodge them at much close range.

But Osborne sidestepped effortlessly, dodging all the bullets with ease.

His ocular energy flashed, and a chair flew up, smashing into Davy's head. The chair shattered instantly, and Davy was struck on the head, blood pouring down as he collapsed to the ground. He let out a cry of pain, unable to grip the gun anymore.

Osborne snorted coldly and quickly approached Davy.

"Who…who are you?"

Davy's face twisted with fear as he tried to grab his gun, but Osborne stomped on his wrist.

Davy's wrist bones shattered instantly.

"Ahhhh!"

Davy screamed in agony, sweating profusely from the pain.

Osborne pressed a foot onto Davy's chest and smiled faintly, "You don't need to know who I am, Just answer a few questions honestly, and I'll leave."

"I've had professional training, even if you wont be able to break me."

Davy gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "You want me to answer your questions? You're dreaming! You will have to kill me, I won't say a word."

"Is that so?"

Osborne sneered. He believed Davy but didn't plan on torturing him for answers today. He had another method prepared.

Osborne pulled out a vial.

"Truth serum."

He had spent a fortune to buy this from the Draco Star Wristlet's marketplace. It came from the Godfather's medical research lab and could make anyone who ingested it fall into a confused state, answering any question truthfully.

Osborne took out a pill, grabbed Davy's jaw, and forced it into his mouth.

"What did you give me?"

Davy looked panicked, but with Osborne's foot pressing on his chest, he felt as if a mountain were crushing him, unable to move.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Osborne waited patiently, unsure if the truth serum was as miraculous as advertised.

Five seconds later, Davy's eyes suddenly became vacant, as if he had fallen into a trance.

"Is it working?"

Osborne wasn't sure, so he asked, "What's your name? What's your position?"

Davy's face was blank, and he responded reflexively.

"My name is Davy. I am the leader of Maelstrom and the liaison for The Aberrants in Mayby City."

Osborne's eyes lit up.

The truth serum really worked.

He quickly glanced downstairs, seeing the chaos gradually subsiding. Knowing time was short, he accelerated his questioning.

"Tell me, who is the mole for The Aberrants in the Radcliffe family?"

"It's Paul."

"Paul is a trusted member of the Radcliffe family, groomed from a young age. Why did he betray the Radcliffe family to help The Aberrants?"

"Because The Aberrants promised to make him a powerful metahuman and give him thirty percent of the Radcliffe family's wealth once the plan succeeded."

"Were the three attacks on Clarissa carried out by The Aberrants? Was Paul involved?"

"Yes! All three attacks were orchestrated by us."

"The first attack had nothing to do with Paul. It failed because of the valiant protection by Clarissa's bodyguards. That's when we decided to bribe Paul."

"The second attack was an inside job with Paul's help, but we underestimated Donna's strength, resulting in failure.

"For the third attack, the organization sent Raymond, a Class C+ metahuman with lightning abilities, to keep Donna occupied while others teamed up with Paul to kill Clarissa"

"But Osborne appeared, saved Clarissa, and thwarted our plan."

After Davy finished, a cold glint flashed in Osborne's eyes.

He continued, "Tell me about your plan for tomorrow night."

"I don't know the specific details."

Osborne frowned. "What about the exact time and place?"

"I don't know, but I do know Paul will find a way to poison Donna, rendering her powerless. Once he sends the signal, we'll act."

Osborne's eyes brightened.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Are The Aberrants plotting against all the major families?"

"How exactly?"

"We support the direct descendants who join us, helping them become the heirs of major families, thus controlling the families and turning them into subordinate forces of the organization"

"How many major families in Mayby City are under your control?"

"About half."

"What exactly are you plotting?"

"The entire underground world of Rosmandi."

Osborne's final question was, "Why do you have to kill Clarissa?"

"… I don't know."

Osborne frowned, noticing Davy's expression was becoming strained as if he was starting to regain clarity.

"Is the serum wearing off?" Osborne murmured

He glanced downstairs and saw the chaos beginning to subside. He knew his time was running out.

From Davy, Osborne had already obtained more information than he expected. He knew he couldn't stay here any longer.

He couldn't kill Davy just yet.

As the liaison for The Aberrants, Davy's sudden death might disrupt their plans, rendering the information Osborne had gathered less valuable.

But he also couldn't let Davy reveal what had just happened.

Fortunately, Osborne had prepared for this.

He took out another vial.

"Amnesia drug."

This also came from the Godfather's medical research lab. Along with the truth serum, it had cost Osborne five million dollars. The amnesia drug was said to make anyone who ingested it forget everything that happened in the past half hour.

The truth serum had proven effective.

Osborne was confident in the amnesia drug. He grabbed Davy's jaw and prepared to administer it.

But he couldn't resist asking. "You run Maelstrom, engage in so many illegal businesses, and serve as the liaison for The Aberrants. You must have a lot of money, right? You wouldn't dare keep it in a bank. Tell me, where do hide it?"

The struggle in Davy's eyes became more and more obvious at this time.

But he still responded to Osborne's question." My money is hidden in the vault in my villa's basement."

As soon as Davy finished, his eyes cleared, and he suddenly regained his senses.

'You?!"

Davy was horrified. Though he had been in a trance, he remembered everything upon waking. Thinking about the questions Osborne had asked and his own answers, he felt a chill run through his body.

"I'll kill you!"

Davy struggled wildly. After revealing so many of the organization's secrets, he knew they would kill him if he didn't eliminate Osborne.

But his efforts were futile.

Osborne had already obtained the information he needed. He grabbed Davy's jaw and forced the amnesia drug into his mouth.

Instantly, Davy passed out.

When he woke up, he would forget everything that had happened in the past half–hour.
