[ At Syphiruz Mafia…]

Jane was brought to the dark room, being escorted by Spider and his men. She saw Madam Lu, sitting in a steel chair with no consciousness.

It looked like she had undergone some torture. Her body was covered with blood. She already knew that Nathan was the one who suspected Madam Lu.

\'He can be ruthless when dealing with his enemies…\' Jane could still vividly remember the resentment in Nathan\'s eyes when he looked at her.

\'I think Madam Lu and I will have the same fate today.\' Jane thought to herself but she was calm and composed, not showing any unnecessary emotions.

Chantha and Violet also followed Spider\'s Team in the Dark Room also known as the torture room. They were curious about Phantomflake, the infamous assassin.

Joker and Axel were the ones who tortured Madam Lu, making her talk. Before losing consciousness, she revealed that she hired a hitman to kill Abigail.

Spider pushed Jane to the chair, making her sit. He immediately tied her hands and feet with the metal cuffs attached to the steel chair.

This chair was made for this– torture and interrogation. The members of the Syphiruz already prepared themselves for this. Phantomflake had this reputation wherein she held a strong value in her ideals.

They recalled how she stabbed herself with a poisonous dagger than let Nathan catch her alive. She has no fear of death.

As they looked at her, they couldn\'t help but be amazed by her calmness. She was in the hands of her enemy yet she was composed, devoid of any emotions.

"I don\'t think she will talk," Chantha whispered to Violet.

"I know. Supreme Leader ordered us to use all means to torture her but we are not allowed to kill her yet." Violet whispered back to Chantha.

"What are we going to do if she tries to bite her tongue? This woman is lunatic and suicidal. Remember what she did two years ago?" Chantha tossed an amused look at Jane.

Jane was tight-lipped. She just sat there with no resistance as if she already accepted her fate.

"I heard she came here voluntarily. Stephen was fighting Spider and his team but Phantomflake surrendered herself…" Violet informed Chantha, making her twin sister gasp in surprise.

"Damn! What is she planning? Why do I feel like she has a hidden motive for coming here voluntarily?" Chantha reacted exasperatedly.

Violet could only exhale sharply. She was saddened knowing that Stephen was trying to protect Phantomflake. But she couldn\'t judge him. She owed him. Stephen saved her life once.

\'"Why is he hellbent to protect Phantomflake?" Chantha asked her, feeling intrigued.

Violet just shook her head. She didn\'t know the answer to that. The twin sisters were still talking when Axel approached them.

"Why are you here?" Axel\'s eyes were fixed on Chantha, his voice surprisingly gentle.

Chantha couldn\'t look straight into Axel\'s eyes. Whenever she would look at him, she was reminded of the kiss they shared.

"Uhm… just wanna meet Phantomflake…" Chantha responded, trying to conceal her blushing face.

Meanwhile, Violet noticed the strange interaction between the two. She gazed back and forth and she observed them. Something was off.

\'Hmm, why aren\'t they fighting today? The cat and dog of Syphiruz?\' Violet smiled inwardly while silently watching the two.

"Axel, are you going to use the Truth Serum to make her talk?" Violet butted in.

Axel shook his head and responded, "Not yet. Supreme Leader wanted us to torture her first, making her realize the consequence of her crime against our Supreme Leader."

"How are you going to torture her? She just regained consciousness. What if her body collapses instantly and dies without confessing?" Chantha expressed her thoughts.

"The doctor said she\'s healthy so you don\'t have to worry. Besides, we will try to keep her alive unless our Supreme Leader gives us a go signal." Axel turned to Phantomflake. 

There was no remorse in her eyes as if she never regretted anything.

"We will use water first… the traditional method," Axel said meaningfully.

After that, he called Spider\'s attention. Everything was set. They would drown her a little by putting a soaked cloth inside her mouth while pouring water on her face.

"Let\'s get started." Axel declared to them.

On the other hand, Jane already anticipated what was going to happen next. She could see the items before her eyes. They were going to torture her in various ways as part of her punishment.

\'Nathan is ruthless and has no mercy when it comes to his enemy. He resents me so much.\' Jane smiled bitterly at that thought.

When two men held her head, pulling her hair down to make her face the ceiling, Jane just closed her eyes, not saying a word. She just felt someone grabbing her jaws, forcing her to open her mouth. 

She was prepared mentally for this torture. She also wanted to do this. She had to suffer for the wrongdoings she did to Nathan and Ethan. 

Spider began pouring water on her face. It was so hard to breathe but Jane didn\'t struggle nor complain. She needed to feel the pain because she felt like she deserved this.

This water torture was repeated several times within ten minutes. 

"Cough! Cough!" Jane gasped for air when Spider finally stopped and removed the cloth from her mouth.

"Phantomflake… you dare challenge our Supreme Leader… now you will suffer more… to the extent that you want to beg us to kill you," Spider spoke to her mockingly. He also laughed sardonically, enjoying what he was doing. 

Phantomflake was a well-known assassin in the underground world, that\'s why, Spider found satisfaction in this, torturing the legendary assassin.

But Axel and others had noticed one thing– Jane\'s eyes filled with determination. Surprisingly, she wasn\'t resisting nor provoking them. She was just silent in her chair.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk… Why do I feel like the water torture doesn\'t affect her that much?! We need to level up our method." Spider rubbed his palms together while grinning from ear to ear.

But the smile in his eyes disappeared when he met Jane\'s sharp eyes. For some unknown reason, Spider got intimidated by the way she looked at him.

\'Why do I feel like she is telling me– Is that all you\'ve got?\' Spider pursed his lips in annoyance. He felt like Jane was looking down on him.

"Now, let\'s move to the second part! I will make you scream!" Spider threatened her. But his threat just fell on deaf ears. Jane totally ignored him. 

Her nonchalant reaction provoked him further. Axel, Chantha, and Violet could feel that Spider was very annoyed.

"Joker, give me the picana electrica," Spider asked his comrade who was standing next to Madam Lu\'s spot. They also used this device to give an electric shock to Madam Lu a while ago during her electric torture.

Jane\'s eyebrow twitched a little when she saw the device. Her body was still soaked with water and now they were going to torture her using electric shock.

\'Damn. How long can I stay awake? I wonder if Nathan is watching us right now…I want to see him… talk to him…\'

"Do you have something to say before I start?" Spider sneered at her.

"I want to talk to your Leader," Jane stated without reservation.

Everyone was stunned when they heard that. They didn\'t expect Phantomflake to say a word and make such a request.
