CHAPTER 1333 BE TAKEN HOSTAGE (PART TWO)

On the other hand, Darren had been through the Flaming Hell before and experienced more brutal

tortures. That was why his performance was convincing enough to fool all of them, including Weber.

"Weber, get ready!" Darren talked to him through his spiritual sense.

"D-Darren?" Weber's mind went blank as soon as Darren's voice echoed in his ears. He didn't expect

that he could still use his spiritual sense properly while undergoing such merciless torture.

"Hey, are you okay? What should I be ready for?" Weber quickly replied.

"Don't worry. This is all an act. Right now, both of them believe that I'm in extreme pain, so they have

somehow dropped their guard. I'll continue acting like this and find an opportunity to restrain Dario and

take him as our hostage. If we do this successfully, we still have a chance to live. While I make my

move, all you need to do is distract the old guy and try your best not to be caught by him."

Darren laid out his plan and hoped that they wouldn't see through his ploy.

"Okay, I got it!" Weber answered.

Then, Darren continued his performance, acting like the pain was becoming more and more severe.

Crash!

Dario became more excited as he heard Darren's screams become louder, so he approached him and

kicked him in the belly.

"Please stop torturing him. I beg you!" Weber pleaded. He also wanted to distract their attention,

especially Leroy's. After all, he was a master at the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm, meaning

that he could move incredibly fast. Even if Darren made a sneak attack, there was still a possibility that

he would be caught, unless they had completely let their guards down.

"Ha! Don't be so naive! Do you think we'll really stop this just because you begged for mercy?" Dario

spat disdainfully and slapped Weber hard across the face.

"Sir, we already admit our mistake. If you let us go, I promise that we will never offend you again in the

future. I sincerely apologize for the previous misunderstandings." Weber bowed to the ground, with a

serious look of remorse on his face.

However, Leroy just cast a cold glance at Weber. After all, he was a wily old fox. He had already

experienced so many things in his lifetime. He would not be fooled by this young man's words.

"Ha-ha! Good acting! However, you're still too young and inexperienced," Leroy sneered. Though

Weber also tried his best to look very sincere, Leroy had already seen through him.

"If you don't believe me, I swear by my soul that I will serve you as your slave," Weber added. He had

to go this far to help Darren buy some time and so that he could get their attention.

"Oh, really?" Dario became interested in what Weber said. He thought that if his father could really turn

him into his slave, it meant that they might find a way to have some influence over the sect of Weber's

master.

"Humph! Your master is a peerless master. There's no telling if he can just undo that vow! I don't need

you to be my slave. Just give it up, fatty. Both of you are going to die here!" Leroy didn't fall for his

words.

"Bah. Fine!" Weber clicked his tongue and let out a sinister laugh. "You're tough, old donkey! I admit

that you're clever."

He recognized that he wouldn't be able to fully distract Leroy by his earlier actions, so he changed his

approach and started annoying him.

"You think that's funny?! Go to hell!" This time, Leroy was the one who slapped Weber on his face. His

face was almost deformed due to the impact of the blow he received.

"It's time!" holds text © rights.

Darren quickly realized that Leroy's full attention was on Weber.

All this time, he was pretending to be in great pain, twitching and rolling on the ground, but he was

actually inching his way to Dario.

Then, finally, he was only a foot away from Dario.

Swoosh!

Fortunately, Leroy's attention was solely focused on Weber, so Darren was able to execute his plan

smoothly. He instantly got up and launched an attack at an astonishing speed.

He concentrated his god's power on his left hand and forcefully stabbed Dario's chest. In just the blink

of an eye, Darren held Dario's pumping heart in his hand. At the same time, he also used his right hand

to pierce into Dario's skull to hold his brain.

Dario didn't even have the time to react and resist.

The same went for Leroy. He only realized what was happening when Darren had already taken full

control of Dario. He couldn't believe that he had fallen for Weber's petty tricks. Furthermore, never did

he expect that Darren was just faking the pain that he was experiencing all this time. He was so

confident with the Soul Assimilating Bugs that he wasn't able to see through his acts.

"Don't move! Unless you want to see your son crushed before your eyes!"

Darren yelled as soon as he saw that Leroy was about to rush towards him. Meanwhile, Weber also

moved towards Darren's side.

"Father! Help me! It's so painful!" Dario burst into tears. Darren tightened his grip around Dario's heart

and brain, so he wouldn't get the idea to resist.

This was much worse than when he was tormented by Darren's itchy poison. His brain and heart were

in someone's hands. A crippling fear spread to his body, paralyzing him. Moreover, he was taken

hostage in front of his powerful father. One could just imagine how helpless he felt at this moment.
