Obviously, the empty bottle of Deadly Big Green Stick has a much weaker knock-out effect on higher-level spirit warriors.
It even varies from person to person.
For someone with a strong beast-transformation physique, the effect might be greatly reduced.
This time, Victoria was completely done for.
She never imagined she would actually fall into Jiang Nan’s hands.
Handcuffed with spirit-binding cuffs, she could no longer use her abilities.
The Void skill dissipated instantly.
Outside air rushed back in at terrifying speed, creating sonic booms.
The entire villa shook with a massive boom.
Every window shattered, every door was wrecked.
Even the concrete walls were punched through with huge holes.
It felt like the whole building was about to collapse any second.
Yet Jiang Nan was utterly thrilled.
“Spirit bead? Hand it over!”
Victoria clenched her teeth.
“Fine, I lost. I accept it. But the spirit bead? In your dreams!”
She instantly regretted saying that.
Damn it.
I shouldn’t have talked tough just now.
I still haven’t been to the toilet.
So she weakly added, “C-could you… let me use the bathroom first? Then we can talk?”
“Sure! I’m in no rush!”
Victoria was stunned.
He… just agreed?
Do they treat captives this humanely now?
In reality, Jiang Nan was mainly afraid Victoria would end up reliving her childhood like Andrei did…
The group went downstairs.
Andrei had long since vanished.
Nightingale frowned. “Should we chase him?”
Jiang Nan grinned. “Let him go.”
As long as he’s alive, he can keep generating resentment points for me.
Dead, and it’s all wasted.
Jiang Nan led Victoria to the ground-floor bathroom.
He stared in shock at the “missing” bathroom.
Victoria: !!!
“You’re telling me to go in the garden? Hurry up! Hurry!”
Thirty minutes later.
Second-floor bathroom.
Victoria sat on the toilet with a dark expression, grinding her little fangs to dust.
Both her arms were locked in seventeen pairs of spirit-binding handcuffs.
All the way up to her elbows.
Her hands were also wrapped in void chains and suspended in mid-air.
I take back what I said earlier.
This isn’t humane. You’re not even human!
Do you have to be this cautious?
This position is way too wicked!
[Resentment value from Victoria Sasha +1000!]
Jiang Nan, standing outside the door: “Done yet? Come on!”
Victoria: !!!
“Tell me, how am I supposed to wipe?”
Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow. “Want me to help?”
[From Victoria…]
She stomped her feet in fury, her gaze involuntarily landing on the clothes hook beside her…
Do I really have to do it again?
Fifteen minutes passed.
Resentment points kept refreshing non-stop.
Finally, a voice came from inside: “I’m done!”
Only then did Jiang Nan pull her out.
Victoria’s eyes were still red with tear tracks.
God knows what kind of miraculous pose she had to use to finish everything without hands!
Jiang Nan grinned. “Stinky little brother, wait outside. I’ll get the spirit bead!”
After saying that, he dragged Victoria straight into the room.
At that moment, Nightingale wasn’t paying any attention to Jiang Nan at all.
She was staring at the ruined villa with a massive headache.
Jiang Nan… probably doesn’t have long to live.
…
Inside the room.
Jiang Nan chuckled. “Come on, tell me. Where did you hide the spirit bead?”
Victoria sneered. “You’d better think carefully. Once you do this, the Order of Light will never let you go!”
“But if you let me go, I can pretend none of this ever happened!”
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes. “Not talking? Fine, I’ll find it myself!”
No way he’d let a duck he already caught fly away.
With that, he started searching all over Victoria’s body.
[Resentment value from Victoria +1000!]
“Don’t come closer! No! Stop!”
The antidote beans had worn off long ago.
But the spirit leek effect was still active!
Who could withstand this!
“Mmm~ Let me see. Where did you hide it?”
Victoria bit her lower lip hard.
“Get off me! Stop searching! You won’t find it!”
[Resentment value from Victoria +999!]
Jiang Nan: “Pfft! I don’t believe you!”
So he kept searching, refusing to miss any possible hiding spot.
[Resentment value from Victoria +888!]
[+777!]
[+666!]
Jiang Nan: (･᷄ὢ･᷅) Hmm?
Something’s wrong.
Why is the resentment dropping the more I search?
Victoria’s face was now bright red.
So Jiang Nan continued looking for the hiding place.
[…+444!]
[…+222!]
[….+1+1+1!]
Jiang Nan stood up, frowning deeply.
Where on earth did she hide it?
Why is the resentment refreshing in reverse?
This broken system must be bugged!
Victoria opened her eyes and looked at him. “Why did you stop?”
Jiang Nan scowled. “Can’t find it! You didn’t swallow it, did you?”
Victoria shook her head frantically. “No no no! I’m wearing it! Keep looking! You’ll definitely find it!”
Jiang Nan: “Nah, not bothering. Too much hassle!”
Victoria: !!!
“That’s not okay! How can you give up so easily? Don’t you know perseverance? You can’t quit, you hear me?”
“Have you forgotten why you caught me? Don’t you want a diamond-level spirit bead?”
“Hurry, keep searching! You’ll find it for sure! You can do it!”
Jiang Nan: ???
Wait.
What is going on?
Did my own captive just encourage me?
I’m robbing you of your spirit bead!
Why are you more eager than I am?
More invested?
Victoria was going insane with urgency.
Just keep searching!
Do you have any stamina at all?
[Resentment value from Victoria +1000!]
Jiang Nan froze.
I stop searching and it jumps again?
This rubbish system really is broken!
[(⇀‸↼‶)]
Jiang Nan had no intention of wasting more effort.
He pulled out a bottle of Deadly Big Green Stick.
Popped the cap and poured it straight down Victoria’s throat.
100% truth serum!
Heh heh heh.
Let’s see you stay silent now!
After one bottle, even though she had the buff, the spirit-binding cuffs rendered it useless.
“Where did you hide the spirit bead?”
Victoria had no room to lie at all.
“It’s hidden in my coochie-coochie-coo~”
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Nan pushed open the door and stepped out.
Holding a diamond-level space-type spirit bead in his hand.
“Heh~ Life. So dull, isn’t it!”
Victoria’s secret?
Sorry!
Victoria has no secrets!
