After taking the bus back to one of the warehouses in the city, they made preparations to take the hostage back with them. They didn't intend to kill him just yet. Alex knew that Olga had a weakness now, and he was going to exploit it.

"His twin brother."

Alex had already asked Tim to tail Olga after the pretend attack had taken place.

The plan was almost flawless, except for the fact that they had pulled some strings to put their own bus in place of an actual one.

"You must be the mysterious young master. Greetings. My name is Lukas Gruber, The Austrian underworld kingpin."

He was a man in his early fifties, with white hair and beard being the most striking feature about his face. Other than that, he looked like a normal person, complete with a simple shirt and trousers. Also, he was surprisingly fit for his age.

"Mr. Lukas, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for your assistance."

Alex responded. Everything was supplied by him for the current mission. He was the person that Alice had called stating that she wanted him to repay the favor that she had done to him some time ago. He agreed because he knew that it would remove a huge burden of owing someone a favor, which he clearly detested as a boss himself.

"Don't be so stiff. This old man just wanted to see meet the person that came up with this plan.".

Alex nodded. He wanted to go back home and interrogate the captive to squeeze him for information so that he could go back to training. But he had to show some courtesy to the man in front of him because he had been a huge help.

"Anyways, take care of yourself. You haven't been in this world for long, so don't give up your life to this dark world just yet. You look like a person with a good attitude. Don't do anything foolish to dig yourself an early grave."

Alex nodded silently.

'Bullshit.'

"Alice, pack up everything. We are going back to interrogate him."

Zira had already taken up the chance to take Olga back. She had left them to take care of some finishing touches, and they were done with their work here as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the mansion, 1 day later.

"Olga, right?"

Inside a dark room, Olga opened his eyes.

Alex had to make sure that he can figure out the name of the government official by the end of the day.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"You will never get anything out of me. I was raised to die for my people. I would never rat them out"

Olga replied. He would rather have himself killed than speak anything about the mission.

"Yeah. I figured. Alice, just let him see what's happening on the other side of the door."

Alice nodded. She switched on the monitor inside the room and on the monitor, there was a person tied to a chair. He was Olga's brother, who was blindfolded, with Zira standing beside him.

He had also been silenced using a restraint, so he wasn't able to make a sound.

"Uwe!" Olga shouted. He was worried and shocked because he didn't The Kramer family to be this bold and capture both of them. They weren't afraid of the support behind them which was the worst-case scenario."

"So his name is Uwe? Sounds German. Well, thank you for the first piece of information. Now, let's start this interrogation."

He then took out a bottle from his pocket. He opened it up and showed it to Olga. There was some kind of liquid in it, and seeing the look on his face, Alex proceeded to explain.

"The way that this drug works is really helpful for this situation. It would be better to show you how it works directly."

He took an injection and filled it to the brim with the drug. He proceeded to use a knife to make a bruise on his hand and then injected the drug directly into Olga's bloodstream.

"What I just injected in you, is an opioid blocker. It is usually used to counter the effects of sedation and depression, but it can also be used in this way."

As soon as he said that, his mind cleared up. Pain. All of his focus was concentrated to the cut on his hand.

"You won't be able to stop focusing on the pain."

The cut wasn't deep, so the pain was still tolerable. But then, his expression turned into that of panic.

"Zira, begin."

Alex spoke into his earpiece. The show was about to start.

"Focus on the monitor, Olga. Maybe then you would be able to change your mind."

Zira first injected the Opioid blocker. Then she took out a bullwhip.

Then, she proceeded to smack Uwe with all her might.

Hearing the painful screams of his brother, which barely sounded human, Olga was shellshocked. Death would have been a mercy to them in this situation.

He couldn't allow this to happen. Uwe was his twin brother.

"No! Stop! Please Stop! I'll speak! I'll SPEAK!"

Alex made a sign with his hand. Zira stopped. The bruises were visible on Uwe's body despite the grainy visual of the monitor.

"Speak, and there might be a chance of a painless death."

-------------------------------------------------

Alex was sitting in his chair, contemplating. The interrogation had ended, so his work was done. Now what was left was for Alice to make some preparations, and in a week they would start uprooting everything that the Secret sect had in Austria. They dared to attack his family, so they needed to be killed. He had earned a week's rest and had also gotten rid of Olga.

"You called for me, master?"

Robert walked into the room.

"You have something to say to me, right?" Alex answered.

He had to deal with this old man before moving forward.

"It's time to strike a deal between us."

Robert smiled. He had something on Alex now, and that was enough to make him his puppet in the future. Although Alex was mature, he was still a kid. Kids can be controlled without too much effort.

Alex, however, had something else in his mind.

"If only it was that simple, Robert."

There was going to be no deal.

Robert froze. His legs started to feel weak, and he collapsed.

"Alice, burn him with Uhr. I have to send a letter back home. About how our beloved butler Robert, was killed while he was on a mission. He gave his life up to protect me."

Uhr was Olga's real name. He had already been killed, but his body was still intact.

Alice appeared in front of him. Robert was on the ground, his eyes watching in horror. There was a single dart on his neck, and he had been immobilized. He was still awake, but only because Alex wanted him to feel every single moment of his death.

She just nodded and disappeared with Robert's body.

"Alright. Time to train."
