SWNOVELS Chapter 2837
The needles started piercing Maeryn one by one. She felt nothing at all; it could not even compare to a mosquito bite.
With that, the smile on her face grew wider as she became more complacent.
Just then, Fade inserted the last thin needle.
Suddenly, she shivered and her expression changed.
The mocking smile on her face stiffened. Then, it gradually turned into a frown, then to surprise, and finally, into a painful cry.
The needles that were in her body seemed to come to life as they moved within her body.
They stimulated her pulse and blood pressure.
She screamed from the pain. She writhed on the ground, wanting to get rid of the pain. However, it was useless.
The pain intensified as time went on. It was as if it was going deep into the bones.
Some onlookers couldn't even stand it.
As for Fade, he remained unmoved and expressionless.
Finally, Maeryn fell to the ground and stared imploringly at him, saying, "I'll tell you everything."
He looked at her and said, "Don't try to lie. You know the consequences of deceiving me."
She nodded with difficulty. "1-1 got it. I won't lie to you."
As soon as he waved his hand, the energy from the needles disappeared from her body.
Maeryn, who was in great pain, fell to the ground. She couldn't move.
Fade stood in front of her and said coldly, "Go ahead!"
A complicated look flashed in her eyes.
Sensing his strength in front of her, she finally suppressed her strange thoughts, nodded, and said, "I'll tell you." "Start talking!" He demanded.
The people around him immediately took out their mobile phones and started recording.
Maeryn began, "Jordence's words were true. We did everything we could to make him the face of the academy."
"Our goal is to recruit many martial artists and use our specially made drugs to nurture them. When the time is right, we will absorb their blood for our use." Upon hearing this, the onlookers gasped and cursed angrily.
Fade asked coldly, "What are the effects of the drug, and why do you want to absorb their blood?"
She whispered, "The effect of the drug is to trigger stamina by consuming the muscles and bones to increase the concentration of energy and blood in the body."
Some of the more experienced martial practitioners came to a thought.
"No wonder the speed of one's progress was so fast after using the drugs. That explains their progress."
"They're killing the goose that lays the golden egg by destroying the students' health in exchange for a short-term improvement."
Amid the criticisms, Maeryn lowered her head and continued, "In the beginning, the drug would not consume much bone and muscle, and the consumers would feel a significant improvement in their energy. Since it was not noticeable and had great effects, the drugs brought in many people to register here."
"However, various side effects began to appear within three months from the excessive use of muscles and bones. Their rate of improvement slowed down and their bodies became weak. Their progress also began to spiral downwards."
"By then, the energy from the usage of the drug would reach a peak concentration. Therefore, this is the time for us to retrieve the students and absorb their blood."
Fade's eyes were getting colder and he continued to ask, "You have laboratories in the academy, but why did you set up a retaining point outside to catch those people?"
Maeryn smirked and replied, "The
students from the academy can be said to be excellent products. After all, we selected them, and there aren't a handful of them. Therefore, it's enough to extract blood in the laboratory."
"And for the drug that is being sold in the black market, most of the users can only be regarded as ordinary or rejected products. There are many such people. We can't bring them to the lab to extract their blood one by one. That's too slow, too inefficient, and we will be easily exposed."
"Thus, for these ordinary and inferior products, we'll retrieve them in bulk and send them to other places for mass processing." These cruel words came out ofMaeryn's mouth. It was as if those people were just goods that could be categorized based on their quality. Such cruelty made people tremble with anger. They couldn't hold their mobile phones and cameras firmly.
Some of them were furious and started throwing their shoes at her.
At this time, Fade's eyes were cold and full of killing intent.
However, he did not move but continued to ask, "Who are you with, and what did you do to the people you gathered at the dock?"
At this point, everyone got worked up, and they all stared at her hopefully.
After all, they wanted to know who was the person behind it and get rid of them.
However, after hearing this question, Maeryn laughed.
She did not answer but looked up at Fade and said, "I can assure you, you will regret it if you knew."
"You may even die." There was a chill in her voice.
He could tell that it was a real threat.
Squinting his eyes, he looked at her and remarked, "I'm not afraid!"
She chuckled and shook her head. "That's because you don't know how big and scary
they are!"
"But once you know it, it'll be too late."
He said firmly, "I insist on my choice."
Maeryn seemed to think of something and sighed. She looked at Fade and said, "This is your choice. I respect you."
"But I'm afraid that you'll be with me in hell by then."
Upon hearing this, he could not help but frown.
Many onlookers around them had already begun to curse.
"You are taunting us!"
"Micovia is a righteous country. I don't believe anyone is so bold!"
"Don't delay any longer. Speak!"
Amidst the rage, the corners of Maeryn's mouth rose as she smiled. She looked at Fade and spat out few words, "The Illuminate
Association." "The Illuminate
vel.net
Association?!" Everyone was
stunned by her answer.
Fade frowned and continued, "Are you referring to the Illuminate Association, the largest organization in Micovia, which is under Nigel's leadership?"
Maeryn didn't answer as she had fallen to the ground with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
"You..." Fade saw this and quickly leaned over, wanting to save her.
However, as soon as he felt the pulse, he noticed that her heartbeat was weakening.
"You didn't need to..." He gritted his teeth and said.
The corners of Maeryn's mouth were covered in blood. She shook her head gently and said, "The result is the same. I was already doomed when I said that name. It would be easiest for me to die here." After saying the last word, she took her last breath and fell.
