Chapter 497 The Saintess And The Saint

Mr. Hyde was the underworld king of Waltz City and the head honcho of their craft, so it was no exaggeration to call him a legend. How could a man like Mr. Hyde be serving Zayn? They could not begin to imagine how influential Zayn truly was. While they were learning about him, Zayn began to interrogate Vulcan. “You may justify yourself now and tell me what you know. If I’m in a good mood, I may consider letting you off,” he said. Vulcan was lying against the wall. Zayn had broken his spine, paralyzing him. He could not move even if he wanted to. In addition, he had been severely injured when Zayn kicked him, so it was impossible for him to try to flee again. On top of all that, Zayn was now keeping a watchful eye on him, so escaping would be no easy feat, even if he had wings. “Oh, still keeping your trap shut? Not scared of dying now, are you? Alright then, maybe some torture will put you at ease.” And with that, Zayn was about ready to get down to business. Sensing Zayn’s murderous intentions, Vulcan realized that he was not bluffing. He was so startled that he hastily said, “In truth, I’m only a small fry in the organization and I don’t know much. You won’t be able to get anything useful out of me.” “Tell me everything that you know then. You know what I want to know and I’m not a patient man,” Zayn replied, taking a seat in front of him. Vulcan’s eyes were shifting as if he was considering whether he should tell the truth. Zayn was getting irritated by all the waiting, so he stepped on one of Vulcan’s fingers, breaking it. The intense pain overwhelmed him and crumbled his willpower instantly. “I’ll tell, I’ll tell, I’ll tell! I’m begging you to stop stepping on me!” he swiftly started begging. Zayn released him. “Speak. This is your last chance.” Vulcan stared at Zayn for a few seconds before he said, “Zayn, you’re nothing like the Saintess. She was so kind. How did she give birth to a—Ouch, ouch, ouch! That hurts, that hurts, that hurts! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” “Any more nonsense and I won't hesitate to kill you,” Zayn declared coldly. He was already down to his last nerve. Vulcan was sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He said, “Your mother, Hayley, was the Saintess of our organization, so she was supposed to marry the Saint. Instead, she fell in love with an ordinary man while she was out on a mission. That man was your father, Valentine Larson. Moreover, she went AWOL, left the organization, and gave birth to you. Her actions infuriated the organization, so they devoted their resources to searching for her. After many years, we finally found her four years ago. “The organization was glad to hear of Valentine’s death, but it was a mark on their name that the Saintess had a child with an outsider. The organization refused to accept this and planned to kill you. It was the Saintess who kept you alive. “Not long after that, the Saintess returned to the organization, but she was placed in confinement as punishment and not allowed to leave for the rest of her life. They’d never let her escape ever again.” Zayn fell silent upon hearing that. Vulcan’s story was similar to what Lil Hyde had said, so it seemed that it was most likely the truth. “What does your organization do and where are your headquarters located?” asked Zayn. Vulcan was stunned for a moment. Realizing what Zayn must have been thinking, he hastily shook his head and said, “Are you planning on going there to find the Saintess?” He took Zayn’s silence as a sign of acknowledgement. “My advice to you is to drop the idea as soon as possible. You have no idea how powerful the organization is. It’s not something that you can possibly afford to provoke,” said Vulcan with a disdainful expression.
