Chapter 346: Chapter 194: Epic Skill: Phantom Sword Dance

Sure enough, a little over ten seconds later, footsteps could be heard up ahead.

"Something’s not right. Why is it so quiet?"

The new leader of the Blood Sea Gang, who had brought a few of his core subordinates over to relax as well, suddenly realized something. ’When those guys come here to have fun, they’re never this quiet.’

’Could something have happened?’

Sure enough, he soon smelled the thick stench of blood. He immediately drew his weapon with a grim expression and faced forward, on high alert.

"Everyone, be careful!"

He warned in a low voice.

The men with him were, after all, the Elites of the Blood Sea Gang, so they all went on alert, drew their weapons, and advanced cautiously.

However, it made no difference whether they were cautious or not, because just as they neared the prison area, a flash of red light suddenly appeared before them.

The next moment, a torrent of flames erupted, practically sealing off the entire underground passage.

They had no time to react before the flames swept past them in an instant.

The searing heat left the new leader’s face etched with horror.

He looked behind him. The subordinates he had brought with him had all been burned to cinders.

If the flames hadn’t suddenly parted to form a gap just as they reached him, he would have undoubtedly met the same end.

"Why leave one alive?"

Shaya asked, confused.

"He was left alive for a reason..."

Flora couldn’t be bothered to explain. ’It’s not that I think badly of my sister-in-arms, but explaining it to her clearly would be a real pain right now.’

’The purpose of their investigation was twofold: on one hand, to rescue these innocent girls and thwart the Lawrence Clan’s conspiracy; on the other, to gather evidence of their crimes.’

’And this Blood Sea Gang leader before them was clearly a very good "witness."’

’So, he really had to be kept alive for now...’

Flora and Shaya then unhurriedly rescued the young women and led them out of the dungeon.

The fresh air brought tears to the girls’ eyes. They embraced one another, and for a long moment, the air was filled with the sound of their sobbing.

"Now then, talk... What exactly have you all been up to?"

Flora had remained in the dungeon, staring at the newly appointed leader before her.

"I..."

The leader’s face was filled with terror. From the power she had just displayed, he already understood that this was an opponent he could never hope to match.

"If I talk, will you spare my life?"

"If you don’t talk, you die right now."

Flora watched him coldly. "If you talk, your fate is uncertain. The choice is yours."

’Even without his testimony, they had the girls. The situation here with the Blood Sea Gang was already proof enough of many things.’

’His cooperation would only speed up the process of taking down Lawrence.’

"This..."

The man was clearly hesitating.

"I’m giving you five seconds. After that, I’m going to burn you to ashes, bit by bit."

"Wait, I’ll talk, I’ll talk..."

He didn’t even wait for Flora to start counting down. Feeling the scorching heat and remembering the horrific fate of his men, terror seized him. He blurted out in a panic, "Don’t kill me! I’ll tell you everything I know."

’At the end of the day, he was just a hired hand doing the dirty work; there was no need to play the hero and die for it.’

’Even if talking didn’t guarantee his survival, it was still better than being burned to death right here and now...’
