"Hmm." Brother Ye’s knee slammed hard onto the ground, causing secondary damage to the wound, but he stubbornly endured without screaming, whereas the woman on the bed couldn’t help but scream once again,
"You better shut your mouth now, or the next shot will blow your head off." Xu Ke’s gun was pointed at Brother Ye, but his eyes glanced at the woman covering her ears and screaming.
The next second, the woman shut her mouth, clearly realizing the situation.
"What do you want? As long as I have it, I’ll give it to you. Please spare my life today." Brother Ye looked up at the dark barrel of the gun, beads of sweat rolling down from his forehead to the ground, and he propped himself up with one hand, trying to stand.
Xu Ke remained silent, just sneered, and the next second, another bullet hit his other intact leg, forcing both knees to the ground.
"Stop stalling, it’s useless. People outside should be led away by now, right?" Xu Ke tilted his head, his dark eyes devoid of any light.
His schemes being exposed, Brother Ye’s head, which was lowered, suddenly snapped up, his pupils dilated intensely, his face paling visibly.
"Do you really have to kill me today? Why? You clearly didn’t have this intention before, did you? Otherwise, you could have killed me the day after the fight." Brother Ye gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he questioned in confusion.
"If you hadn’t touched Yaoyao, you could indeed have lived a bit longer, but you spurned the path to Heaven and came knocking on Hell’s door yourself. Who can you blame?" Xu Ke bent down, looking at the man before him, finally feeling some of the pent-up irritation dissipate after a long time.
"All for a woman." Brother Ye’s face wore a helpless smile, "If you spare me today, I’ll go apologize to your wife, if she won’t forgive me she can beat me up, anything’s fine as long as you spare me, I’ll do whatever you want, even be your dog."
Brother Ye’s lips were turning pale from blood loss. He reached for Xu Ke’s pants, desperately seeking a nod from the other party, wanting to survive.
He could endure any temporary humiliation tonight for the sake of survival, and that gave him a chance for revenge in the future; after all, he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Thinking of this, Brother Ye gripped Xu Ke’s pants even tighter, raising his head, trying to let Xu Ke see the determination in his eyes, not believing Xu Ke would refuse such temptation.
"Bang!" Xu Ke mercilessly aimed at the hand gripping his pants, shooting it at the wrist, forcing Brother Ye to let go.
Seeing Brother Ye’s face change suddenly, Xu Ke slowly said, "I don’t like people touching me randomly, especially men." Xu Ke straightened up, looking down at Brother Ye with eyes filled with disdain.
Brother Ye cautiously hid the ambition and resentment in his eyes, putting on a flattering smile, "I didn’t know, there won’t be a next time." At this moment, Brother Ye was like a dog begging with its tail between its legs.
"Bang!" Xu Ke suddenly fired another shot without warning, hitting Brother Ye’s other wrist, making both hands hang limply by his sides.
Brother Ye, who had always hoped to numb Xu Ke and then seek revenge, suddenly looked up at Xu Ke with bewildered eyes, "What did I do wrong again?" Brother Ye tentatively asked.
"Can’t you see? No matter what tricks you play, I just want you dead." Xu Ke spoke softly, satisfied to see Brother Ye’s ambition replaced by disbelief.
"When I came, I let you choose, and since you didn’t, I’ll choose according to my own preference." At this, Xu Ke seemed to recall something amusing, even breaking into a smile at Brother Ye, bright without a hint of gloom, yet creepily terrifying, more so than all previous times.
"Wha-what do you want to do?" Brother Ye tried to retreat, but with his legs crippled, he could only use his elbows to crawl forward, trying to escape, his animal instinct warning him that if he didn’t leave, he might never get out of here.
Brother Ye’s will to survive was unprecedentedly firm, but his back was suddenly stepped on by a big foot, pinning him down by his spine, making it impossible for him to move, "Where do you think you’re going? The game has just begun, you’re not going anywhere."
Brother Ye couldn’t see what Xu Ke wanted from behind, only hearing a series of clear metallic clinks, causing his hair to stand on end, even feeling like his scalp was lifting, "I don’t want to play games, find someone else. I want to go home." He raised his voice slightly.
"I’ll send you home when the game is over," Xu Ke said softly, bending down to turn Brother Ye’s body to face him.
The blinding sunlight from the ceiling made Brother Ye close his eyes instantly, and after a moment of easing, he opened them again, only to realize then what he had just heard—Xu Ke, the lunatic, had brought surgical tools with him.
"What are you doing?" Brother Ye could hear his teeth chattering, regretting his act of provoking Xu Ke.
"Let’s play a skinning game, shall we? Where should we start? The head? Or the hands? I prefer starting with the face, what do you think?" Xu Ke smiled, handing over the decision to Brother Ye, appearing like a pervert, creeping Brother Ye out from the depths of his soul.
At this point, if he couldn’t see that Xu Ke just wanted to torture him, there was no point in him being in the underworld for so many years. Brother Ye would rather die than be tortured to death; such methods he scorned when used on others but felt entirely different when he was the target.
Brother Ye’s eyes suddenly showed a decisive glow, ignoring Xu Ke’s question, he immediately closed his eyes, intending to bite his tongue and end his life. But Xu Ke had no intention of granting his wish; the pain Brother Ye had inflicted on him and his wife, Xu Ke intended to return a hundredfold.
"No, please, don’t." Brother Ye frantically shook his head
