Chapter 875 Thorn Part 4
YUHI
"T-thank you."
"For now-" Yuhi looked around the cell. It was awful, there wasn't even a proper bed. The man's clothes were torn. Yuhi takes out a black cloak from his bag. "Try to stay alive. Just remember this, crying and begging will not get you anywhere. Lay low and avoid the guards as much as you can. Not everyone is bad, there are those who have been fighting for better conditions for you."
At those words the man paused. "D-did-did Sumire-san send you here?"
Yuhi paused. "Do you know Sumire?"
He nodded. "She showed up here a year ago and stopped them from beating up a child that was brought in. She made such a grand announcement that 'if we don't want to die, then we have to find a way to survive' until she finds a way to fight for better conditions for us. She would frequently drop by and give us food."
That sounds like something she would do.
"Has she not come here for a while?"
"Yes, it has been close to a month now. I-I believe there has been some change in management, and the new ones in charge are even more brutal. They have been forbidding her entry from the dungeons."
Now that he thought about it. Before he left, it seemed like Sumire was frustrated about something. Once in a while he would catch her on the phone yelling at someone. Yuhi frowned. They can't forbid Sumire entry anywhere in this place.
She is the actual leader of the Holy knights, and all the members regardless of which branch they belong to should know that. Moreover what is with that change in management? There is something wrong here.
"I'll find out what is happening." Yuhi trailed off. "Can I get your name?"
"Bastian."
"I'm Yuhi. I promise I'll work out what is going on here and if you really have never done anything. I might be able to get you out. I can't promise you anything, depending on what power you have, a full release may not be possible. But, I'll get you away from here."
After a few more words Yuhi continued to walk down the hallway. That one will definitely be useful. He even managed to pick up information like that despite his current condition. His condition must have gotten worse because Sumire has been forbidden from coming here.
'There might be traitors here.' That possibility definitely crossed his mind before he came here. Amongst those who know about Sumire living with Mashima Toh there aren't many who know the actual address and apartment number. It should be easy to narrow it down. But, when he thought about it. It should be stored in the Holy knights database.
It could be someone here easily. Once he finishes torturing the hell out of the reporter, he will investigate every single upper management here and member.
The smell of decay filled his nose and he sighed deeply. Can't they at least clean the corpses? Do they really have to leave them to rot?
It did not take long before he reached a cell that was separated from the rest.
Right at that moment a man with gold blonde coloured hair stepped out with a smile on his face, traces of blood on his fingers and his face. "Oh Yu-Yu, how fast. If I didn't know any better, I would say your the one with the sonic sound ability." Masaru jokes.
Yuhi looked around. "Where's Mamoru?"
"In the main office. He is giving the other members instructions. I sent Nao away, because he would have killed the guy inside otherwise."
'I'll meet up with Mamoru later. I'm sure he has noticed something odd too, otherwise there is no doubt he would be in the hospital with Sumire.'
Yuhi raised his eyebrow. "It seems like you tortured him enough."
"Not enough I'm afraid. I really wanted to cut off his tongue, but I'm afraid we still need to get answers from him. I'll leave the rest up to you." Masaru patted his shoulders. "Break him if you want. But, get some answers from him."
Yuhi nodded. It was already taking all his willpower not to rush into the cell and destroy the guy. He stepped into the cell and closed the door behind him. The moment he got inside, the man who was chained against the wall looked up.
Despite what Masaru said about holding back, the reporter was already beaten up so badly. It doesn't take two and two to realize that the guards assigned to this section must have done this.
Sumire is feared in the underworld but there are many who are fiercely loyal to her.
Maniac sounding laughter escaped his lips. "I can't believe you really came all the way out here for her."
Yuhi's gaze dimmed. "I thought I told you before, if you harm her I'll hunt you down." He walked over and took a blade out of his pocket as he moved it against the man's cheek. "Before I rip you to shreds, maybe we should have a little talk?"
"Tachibana already tried that and it didn't work. I won't talk! Besides, Ibuki deserves it! She calls herself an idol, but she doesn't act like one. Having a boyfriend aside, she goes around acting like a whore and collecting guys. How many men has she slept with? That whore is only good for spreading her legs and begging."
'I'll kill him.' Yuhi allowed the blood lust to take over and was about to lower his blade to cut the man's neck off, when a flash caused him to drop his blade.
"Sorry for interrupting." A voice from behind him said.
Yuhi turned to see Mamoru. "It's fine." He ran his fingers through his hair. "I almost killed him on the spot just now. Sorry."
Mamoru wore a dangerous expression and the aura around him was suffocating. The absence of the usual warmth behind his smile. .com
"I can't let you have all the fun Yuhi."
"You're dead." The reporter looked stunned. "You're supposed to be- didn't she kill you?"
Mamoru laughed bitterly. "How many times has she told you that she didn't do it? That it was an accident. You made her beg and cry so many times. How many times did you back her into a corner for supposedly killing me?" He appeared in front of the man in a flash and grabbed hold of his neck. "Now then, you answer our questions and maybe just maybe we won't kill you today."
