Chapter 2069
After a long silence, Eric finally spoke. โGoldridge is already in chaos. The McCormick family launched a full assault on the Majestic Hotel, but they came away empty-handed.
โThat convict from the Crimson Flame Cult was incredibly strong, holding his ground against two of their martial saints without losing an inch. In the end, he fought his way out of Goldridge with the Blues covering him, heading southeast.โ
Andrew frowned. โSoutheast?โ
Cordelia had mumbled that direction before too. So, they could roughly deduce that Shiloh had most likely been taken to the southeast.
As for the southeast, that would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Goldridgeโs southeast led all the way south into the Gabo Creek region, a completely different state.
There was no point in overthinking it, so Andrew dragged Cordelia over. The Crimson Flame Cult prisoner was splashed awake with a cup of cold water. Her wet black hair hung over her forehead, looking somewhat disheveled.
โYou might as well give up, I wonโt tell you anything, no matter what you ask.โ Her attitude was just as determined as before.
Andrew was not in a hurry and smiled instead. โWonโt tell us anything? That means you do know where Shiloh was taken, right?โ
Cordeliaโs expression changed as she turned her head away.
Andrew continued, โBeing stubborn is useless. I can cloud your mind, hypnotize your spirit, and make you spill everything exactly as it happened.โ
Cordelia scoffed. โYou think that trick will work on me? The Flamebinding is incredibly powerful. No matter what method you use, even if you kill me, you wonโt get a word out of me.โ
Andrew frowned. โThe Flamebinding? You mean that red snake on your back?โ
Cordelia snorted coldly. โSince you already know, why bother with more talk? I know I wonโt survive anyway. Why donโt you just put me out of my misery and kill me!โ
Andrew shook his head. โKilling you isnโt difficult, but what I want isnโt your deathโฆ Itโs finding Shiloh. Your turn, Eric!โ
Eric once again performed mental control on Cordelia. Soon, her eyes went blank.
Andrew began his interrogation, and Cordelia answered general questions honestly. Yet, when it came to Crimson Flame Cult secrets, she would become agonized, then scream and pass out.
Ericโs expression darkened. โThe Flamebinding is really something! It even resists my technique. Should I force my technique and interrogate her anyway? If this woman canโt handle it and dies, so be it. Sheโs worthless anyway.โ
Andrew shook his head. โNo. If you push your technique too hard, youโll just waste her life for nothing, and we still wonโt learn anything!โ
Eric sneered. โThen what do you suggest? The Majestic Hotel was just a front. Shiloh hasnโt been there for some time, and that convict played everyone in Goldridge for fools. If we donโt move faster, sheโll be drained dry, and weโll have nothing.โ
Andrewโs gaze turned icy. โStep aside. Iโll remove the Flamebinding from her, then you can interrogate her.โ
Eric was stunned. โRemove the Flamebinding? Andrew, arenโt you supposedly a master of both medicine and martial arts? Since when do you have expertise in seals too? Donโt make a fool out of yourself.โ
Andrew ignored the pretty boyโs mockery and undid the clothing on Cordeliaโs back.
The Crimson Flame Cult woman smiled seductively. โWhatโs this? Do you want to touch me, handsome?โ
