Chapter 459: Catch and Answer

After saying that, Liang Yu looked at them and felt it still wasn’t safe enough, as who knew if they had some secret technique that could help them escape.

Liang Yu stood behind the three Black-robed Men, a gentle and kind smile on his face.

He seemed to imagine the cheers of the fans below, wave after wave, their fervent gazes all focused on him.

Liang Yu then spoke to the three.

“My dear fans, thank you for your continuous support.”

“Today, I have specially prepared a gift for everyone.”

As he spoke, he had Mario take out something, and Mario pulled an object from his pants pocket.

The object shimmered with a strange luster under the light, it was the famous Pipa Hook.

Its unique shape, with hooks curved like a crescent moon, exuded a cold metallic texture.

“This Pipa Hook is no ordinary item; it specializes in locking the pipa bone in a person’s body.”

Liang Yu’s voice was deep and magnetic, slowly narrating the story behind this gift.

“I hope this special gift, like its unique function, will be deeply imprinted in your hearts.”

“I want you to know that you are incredibly important to me.”

Liang Yu looked at the three Black-robed Men in front of him with deep affection, speaking each word clearly.

The three heard Liang Yu’s monologue and looked utterly bewildered.

Being ambushed and controlled, they had nothing to say about that; they admitted defeat, as there was nothing to say when one’s skills were inferior.

However, Liang Yu’s inexplicable words made the three feel insulted.

If he ambushed them, it was because he was capable and they couldn’t detect him, but to actually call them fans.

They had heard the term ‘fan’ before, in the pleasure quarters of the Imperial City.

But that wasn’t the most important thing; who would prepare something like a Pipa Hook for their own fans? And from the tone of the person behind them, it seemed the Pipa Hook would definitely be worn by them today.

Everyone’s eyes widened as they watched Mario skillfully pull three pairs of Pipa Hooks from his pants pocket.

The metallic Pipa Hooks gleamed with a cold luster in the dim light, as if carrying a hint of chill, making one’s heart tremble.

Mario’s face held an inscrutable expression, a complete poker face, from which no information could be discerned.

He placed the two pairs of Pipa Hooks he was tightly gripping onto the table.

Then, he picked up the last pair of Pipa Hooks and walked towards the group.

His approaching figure was like Death drawing near.

Everyone instinctively tried to retreat, but they couldn’t move at all; suppressed by gravity and the Emperor Magnetic Field, even mobilizing the Qi within their bodies was useless.

“You… what do you want to do?!”

Someone couldn’t help but cry out, their voice clearly laced with fear.

But Mario didn’t respond, continuing to walk unhurriedly, the Pipa Hooks in his hand gently swaying with his movements, emitting a crisp yet chilling clinking sound.

As he drew closer, everyone could clearly see the sharp hooks of the Pipa Hook, seemingly capable of easily tearing through skin, bringing endless pain.

With a sudden flick of his wrist, the Pipa Hook shot towards the Black-robed Man leader like a nimble venomous snake.

A sharp whistling sound filled the air, the sound of the Pipa Hook cutting through the air.

The hook, with a whooshing sound, flew with extreme precision towards the Black-robed Man.

Before the Black-robed Man could react further, the Pipa Hook tightly pierced his pipa bone on his shoulder.

Then, at the moment it was locked, an expression of disbelief appeared on the Black-robed Man’s face.

He widened his eyes and instinctively struggled. However, it was all in vain.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had lost contact with the Qi that had always accompanied him within his body.

The Qi that had originally flowed smoothly through his meridians was now like a kite with a broken string, vanishing without a trace.

The Black-robed Man only felt his body suddenly become incredibly heavy, as if it had lost its support.

He tried to circulate his cultivation technique again, to summon the Qi within his body, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no movement.

Actually, the Black-robed Man was too anxious; the connection had not been severed, but merely became very weak, all due to the Pipa Lock.

Soon, the other two were also locked by Mario using the same method.

In the private room of the restaurant, the dim lamplight flickered unsteadily.

The Black-robed Men, now fitted with Pipa Locks, lay sprawled on the ground in disarray, their bodies contorted by the restraints.

The cold metal gleamed ominously on them, as if declaring the victory of this capture operation.

Liang Yu stood still, his gaze slowly sweeping over the three individuals before him, silently contemplating his next move.

At this time, people were coming and going around the restaurant, and even outside the private room, it was noisy and bustling, not a suitable place for an interrogation.

He frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Should he question these three now, or find another quiet and secluded place?

If he asked now, he might get answers while they were unprepared.

After a moment of thought, Liang Yu decided to interrogate them directly in the private room. Firstly, transferring them would take time, and they might inevitably be seen by other accomplices of the Black-robed Man.

Secondly, there was the issue of the medicine’s effectiveness; Liang Yu had used several methods to instantly suppress them.

If the medicine’s effect weakened during transfer and an accident occurred, that would be problematic.

Liang Yu coldly swept his gaze over the three in front of him, his eyes revealing an undeniable ruthlessness.

He waved his hand and said to Mario.

“Go guard the door; don’t let anyone come in and ruin my business.”

Mario acknowledged the order, quickly turned and walked to the door, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

Subsequently, under Liang Yu’s severe interrogation, one of the three finally couldn’t bear it and, trembling, spoke, revealing some clues about the mastermind behind them.

Liang Yu narrowed his eyes, continuing to press for details.

With each question and scream, more information was unearthed, and he finally obtained the information he wanted, a triumphant yet cold smile appearing on his face.

It was just as he had guessed; that traitorous dog, Moyuan, had betrayed him.

Not only had he betrayed him, but he wasn’t even planning to help the Black-robed Man scheme against him!

Thinking of this, his fists clenched, his knuckles turning white from the force.

According to the Black-robed Man, Moyuan planned to use the tools they provided to open the abyss gate after Liang Yu appeared, letting those monsters deal with him.

As compensation, the Black-robed Man had already transferred Moyuan’s son, Moffett, away.

No wonder he hadn’t found his cheap nephew after returning this time; so that was where the problem lay.

And he also had an unexpected gain; he had always wanted to know the cause of the disasters in various places, and he found out from the Black-robed Man.
