Chapter 94: The Terrifying Sun

But when the Demon Dragon went to the Jiahua Hotel for the meeting this time, he unexpectedly brought someone along. This person was astonishingly calm; when Ma Han subdued him and punched him several times, he didn't even utter a sound.

"I can tell you everything I know, but I have one condition: after you’ve learned all the information, you must kill me immediately. Do not hand me over to the courts."

The Demon Dragon laid out his terms to Chu Feng, for he knew that if Chu Feng handed him to the Public Security Ministry, they would surely turn him over to the international tribunal, where suffering and torture awaited him.

"I can't promise you that right now. This isn’t something I can decide on my own—I need to ask for permission first."

Chu Feng genuinely wanted to grant the Demon Dragon’s request, but he couldn’t; the Demon Dragon had committed countless crimes in various Western countries and was already an A-level fugitive wanted by Interpol.

"I can make that decision. We can agree to his conditions—have him share any useful intelligence, and I’ll grant him a swift death, find a place to bury him."

The officer sitting next to Ma Han spoke up. Before the interrogation, General Gao had given him full authority to handle everything. He was a staff officer in the military district: his name was Chen Haishan.

"Is that true? General Gao will really let us do this?" Chu Feng was surprised by Chen Haishan’s words; he hadn’t expected that Chen Haishan had received instructions from the general.

"It’s true. I can speak for General Gao and agree to his request. But as for how we’ll proceed, I’ll defer to you."

Although Chen Haishan could agree to the Demon Dragon’s terms, the ultimate decision was Chu Feng’s. General Gao had told him that everything should be determined by Chu Feng.

"Alright, I accept your condition. As long as you provide us with useful information, I’ll see to it you die swiftly, and we’ll make sure your body is buried."

Chu Feng considered carefully and finally agreed to the Demon Dragon’s request. At worst, they would just submit a report of their findings to Interpol afterward.

"The person I brought is my slave. He has a common name: the Enslaved One. I bought him."

As soon as the Demon Dragon finished speaking, both Chen Haishan and Ma Han shot up from their chairs, jaws agape as they stared at him.

"Tell me, where did you purchase this slave? When did they hold the auction?" Ma Han couldn’t sit still any longer; he strode over to interrogate the Demon Dragon directly.

Chu Feng, meanwhile, was utterly baffled. Why were Chen Haishan and Ma Han so shocked at the mention of the Enslaved Ones?

"You know how the auctions work. We’re all blindfolded and taken to an unknown location, and blindfolded again when we leave."

When the Demon Dragon bought his slave, he was transported by helicopter to a nameless island, blindfolded upon entry and exit.

"How many people were auctioned this time? How many did your group from Sunfire purchase?"

Ma Han stared fixedly at the Demon Dragon. His previous missions had all involved investigating the slave-trafficking ring, which called itself the Enslaved Ones.

"I only bought one. I’m not sure about the commander, but I do know he definitely purchased slaves—at least five."

The Demon Dragon told Ma Han everything he knew. Ma Han’s expression grew increasingly grave.

"Why did you buy this person? Was it to use him as leverage against us, so you could escape?"

Chu Feng speculated about the Demon Dragon’s motives, though he still didn’t fully understand the purpose of the Enslaved Ones organization.

"That wasn’t the main reason. I offended a very powerful person, and our commander refused to help me. So I bought this slave, ready to die alongside them if necessary."

As it turned out, the Demon Dragon had crossed a formidable enemy during one of his missions—someone who wanted his life. Sunfire, his organization, refused to intervene, so he spent all his resources to buy this slave.

"Let me give you some advice, as someone who’s been through this: leave the capital, and stop meddling in the old man’s affairs, or you’ll face endless pursuit."

The Demon Dragon addressed these words to Chu Feng; perhaps it was gratitude for his promise.

"Don’t worry. No matter how many Sunfire mercenaries come, they’ll either die by my hand or be captured alive, just like you."

Chu Feng was not intimidated by the Demon Dragon’s warnings. Having promised Old Wang, he would see it through, whatever the cost.

The Demon Dragon then detailed the situation within Sunfire Mercenaries to Chu Feng. As the deputy commander, he knew far more than Jess and Mad Dog.

By the time Chu Feng finished interrogating the Demon Dragon, dawn was breaking—the eastern sky was pale, with traces of crimson spreading across the land.

Chu Feng, Ma Han, and Chen Haishan sat in the room, each more somber than the last. Sunfire’s actions had grown utterly mad.

Their commander, Trist, purchased so many slaves solely to use them for missions—the target: Elder Chen.

Because the funds for purchasing slaves came from the employer, Trist essentially acquired several slaves for free.

Each slave had a chip implanted in their brain, compelling absolute obedience to their master and preventing any defection—much like the death warriors of the Land of the Sun.

The only difference was that a death warrior was a person with thoughts, while the slaves were not. They only knew to follow orders, and would never stop until the task was complete or they lost the ability to act.

"I’ll file a detailed report to General Gao and apply for the Demon Dragon’s execution."

After interrogating the Demon Dragon, Chu Feng didn’t rush to kill him, preferring to keep him alive in case he had more valuable information.

"I’ll return with the captain. Please take care of the Demon Dragon. As for his slave, you should find a place and kill him."

Chu Feng’s reason for asking Chen Haishan to dispose of the Demon Dragon’s slave was simple: if the slave ever lost control and detonated the explosives on his body, the military district would suffer the consequences.

After giving his instructions to Chen Haishan, Chu Feng drove the military vehicle, taking Ma Han with him back to the hospital.
