Chapter 2069

After a long silence, Eric finally spoke. โ€œGoldridge is already in chaos. The McCormick family launched a full assault on the Majestic Hotel, but they came away empty-handed.

โ€œThat 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. โ€œSoutheast?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. Goldridgeโ€™s 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.

โ€œYou might as well give up, I wonโ€™t 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. โ€œWonโ€™t tell us anything? That means you do know where Shiloh was taken, right?โ€

Cordeliaโ€™s expression changed as she turned her head away.

Andrew continued, โ€œBeing stubborn is useless. I can cloud your mind, hypnotize your spirit, and make you spill everything exactly as it happened.โ€

Cordelia scoffed. โ€œYou think that trick will work on me? The Flamebinding is incredibly powerful. No matter what method you use, even if you kill me, you wonโ€™t get a word out of me.โ€

Andrew frowned. โ€œThe Flamebinding? You mean that red snake on your back?โ€

Cordelia snorted coldly. โ€œSince you already know, why bother with more talk? I know I wonโ€™t survive anyway. Why donโ€™t you just put me out of my misery and kill me!โ€

Andrew shook his head. โ€œKilling you isnโ€™t difficult, but what I want isnโ€™t your deathโ€ฆ Itโ€™s 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.

Ericโ€™s expression darkened. โ€œThe Flamebinding is really something! It even resists my technique. Should I force my technique and interrogate her anyway? If this woman canโ€™t handle it and dies, so be it. Sheโ€™s worthless anyway.โ€

Andrew shook his head. โ€œNo. If you push your technique too hard, youโ€™ll just waste her life for nothing, and we still wonโ€™t learn anything!โ€

Eric sneered. โ€œThen what do you suggest? The Majestic Hotel was just a front. Shiloh hasnโ€™t been there for some time, and that convict played everyone in Goldridge for fools. If we donโ€™t move faster, sheโ€™ll be drained dry, and weโ€™ll have nothing.โ€

Andrewโ€™s gaze turned icy. โ€œStep aside. Iโ€™ll remove the Flamebinding from her, then you can interrogate her.โ€

Eric was stunned. โ€œRemove the Flamebinding? Andrew, arenโ€™t you supposedly a master of both medicine and martial arts? Since when do you have expertise in seals too? Donโ€™t make a fool out of yourself.โ€

Andrew ignored the pretty boyโ€™s mockery and undid the clothing on Cordeliaโ€™s back.

The Crimson Flame Cult woman smiled seductively. โ€œWhatโ€™s this? Do you want to touch me, handsome?โ€
