The Fat God System

Chapter 198: Interrogation

Kyran's actions were beyond what anyone had ever expected. Rhett bought that this robbery was as easy as picking candy from a baby.

However, Hugh was the detriment to their plan. In just a solid second, he had killed one of their comrades. Now, there were only seven of them left.

The bandits were livid. They could not let Hugh get away with killing one of their comrades. This was a grudge that they would never let go of.

Hugh was only one person. What could he do?

The bandits all rushed towards Kyran with their swords up in the air. Then did not care for any that it's as they thought overwhelming Hugh with numbers was the best way to go about it.

However, they were still underestimating Hugh. With his eagle eyes, he could see the bandit's attacks in real-time with easy prediction patterns.

With a tiny twist of his hip, he was able to dodge against one of the swords. Then, he raised his sword and counterattacked the bandits.

With one strike, another bandit was down. The bandits could not believe what they were seeing. However, this was not the end of Hugh's attacks.

With one side step, he reached another bandit. The bandit was surprised and could not react appropriately. The only thing he could do was raise his sword, but Hugh's sword had already sliced him in half.

Two strikes and two men were down. This was Hugh's power, and the strength difference was evident.

"You bastard!" the bandits shouted as they charged towards Huh with crazed eyes.

Hugh did not panic and kept his calm. He attacked the next person and the next, and the next until there was only one person left.

"Whowho are you?!" the last remaining bandit shouted. He crawls away from Hugh as a last resort. However, Hugh had other plans for the guy.

Hugh stopped on the bandit's feet and prevented him from moving away.

"I still have to ask you something," Hugh said as he squatted down and looked at the bandit.

"Hiii!!!" the bandit was extremely scared of Hugh. What kind of monster could take on eight people at a time? It was crazy!

"Why did you attack the army?" Hugh said with a calm voice.

However, the bandit was still shivering on the floor. It was clear that the bandit was in no way capable of saying anything right now.

*slap*

Hugh slapped the bandit right across his face, leaving a bright red mark on the bandit's cheeks.

"If you don't want to die, then answer my question," Hugh said as he picked up the bandit by his collar.

The look of fear on the bandit was enough for Hugh to know that the bandit was now woken up from his daze. The bandit saw his comrades' deed in the ground, lying in a pool of their blood.

He would be like them if he did not answer Hugh's question. The bandit cannot take that kind of end for his life, so he decided to answer Hugh's questions

"We heard that there was a supply cart about to embark. So, we decided to rob it," the bandit said with urgency.

Hugh looked at the bandit and tried to look for signs of lying. However, he could not see any lie from the man's words. It was the truth.

"Didn't they tell you this was supposed to be the Cheroque kingdom army's supply?" Hugh said.

Then, as soon as Hugh mentioned the Cheroque kingdom army, the bandit's face became pale. It looked like he did not know of this beforehand.

"I didn't know that!" the bandit shouted.

If there was one thing that the bandits feared, they feared the Cheroque kingdom army. That sense of fear only came from one man, and that was the commander.

The commander was a cruel and terrible man that everyone in the underground feared. He had heard of tales about the commander's cruelty, and it gave him chills on the back of his spine.

"You robbed it without even knowing who you are up against? What kind of robber are you?" Hugh said.

The only reason why Hugh asked for the bandits' reason for robbing was to know if they had any resentment towards the army.

If the bandits told him that they had a deep-seated rage towards the army, then Hugh could have used them. As the famous motto one said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Who told you the information in the first place?" Hugh asked.

Then, the bandit closed his mouth. It seemed as if he knew who the informant was, but he did not want to say who it was.

Even if the bandit survived this encounter with Hugh, he would be killed after it was leaked that he had told Hugh about the informant's identity.

"You aren't going to tell me?" Hugh asked as he put more pressure on the bandit's injuries, making him squeal in pain.

"I can't! He'll kill me!" the bandit shouted as he tried to endure the pain from Hugh's torture.

"I'll kill you if you don't tell me who it is," Hugh said as he put more pressure.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!" the bandit screamed. The pain was too much for him to handle, and he passed out.

The bandit's body fell to the ground. Hugh was surprised. He did not think that his attack would inflict pain on the bandit that made him pass out.

Hugh shook his head. Then, he slapped his forehead. He could not be ice that he had just done this.

He still did not know who the informant was. If only the bandit were still awake, then Hugh could have figured him out with the truth.

Hugh sighed. He would have to wait for the bandit to wake up.

"Sir," a voice called out to Hugh.

Hugh turned parish and saw the remaining soldier that he had saved. He could see that they had severe injuries, but they still walked up to Hugh and bowed.

"We thank you for saving our lives!" the three soldiers shouted towards Hugh.

However, their enthusiasm was not the best thing for their health. After screaming that loud, they coughed up blood.

Hugh looked at them. He did not want to save them since they may inevitably become his enemies later on. However, on the one hand, he still had to keep up appearances for the commander.

If he came back with the soldiers saved and the supply reduced, he would get even better merits. Only then will the commander trust him more.

"No worries. I'm glad you are all alive," Hugh said with a fake smile.

However, the soldiers did not seem to sense that Hugh's smile was genuine. They just looked at Hugh's face (the platoon leader's face) as someone very generous and kind.

"We'll start to clean up, sir!" the soldiers said as they saluted to Hugh and turned away.

The soldiers started to bring the dead bodies of their comrades and the bandits together. The soldiers looked at their dead comrades with pained eyes.

As soldiers who died in duty, they were to be disposed of immediately. The upper ranks told them that any dead body, regardless of their affiliation, should be buried in the ground.

The upper ranks did not believe in bringing the dead body back to their families. It was a waste of money and workforce.

The soldiers always thought that this was a bad policy, but they could not complain.

Hugh looked at the soldiers who buried their dead comrades. He could not help but feel sorry for them since they were just pawns in a bigger game.

They were not necessarily bad people, but they were just in the wrong group. Hugh was glad that he did not kill the soldiers.

After thirty minutes, the bandit finally opened his eyes.

"Where am I?" the bandit asked. Then, the first thing he saw after passing out was Hugh's face.

The bandit's heart stopped as soon as he saw Hugh's face. However, he tried his best to hide this fact.

"Who are you? Who am I?" the soldier said as he pretended to have amnesia.

This was a good tactic for the bandit. With this, he would have an excuse not to spill his secrets. It was excellent proof.

*slap*

Hugh slapped the bandit right across his face, evening out the bright red spot on the opposite side of his cheek.

"You think I'm an idiot?" Hugh asked. There was no way that he would fall for such a petty trick.

He did not even know why the bandit even tried this technique. He would have killed the bandit either way.

"I know you are lying," Hugh said as he looked at the bandit right in the eyes. "Stop playing with me."

The bandit saw Hugh's eyes and saw something that he should not have. He saw the bags under Hugh's eyes fall off like Hugh's mask was starting to fall apart.

Then, he kicks to see the sharp eyes of Hugh crystal clear, and it gave him chills.
