NovelEnglishChapter 688
Death and pain would never fear people like Black Fox, but they were afraid of one thing-losing
consciousness.
The light above his head shone upon him, showing how wet his forehead was due to sweat.
The cold needle pricked into his skin. The pain was that of an ant’s bite to him.
But veins were protruding on the back of his hands as they were balled into fists. He was fighting
back in reflex.
Ethan watched him coldly. “Either you spill it now or you’ll do it without dignity later. Who have
you been working for by putting your life at stake all these years?
“Who ordered you to hurt my son and Liv? Considering that we’re from the same line of work, I can
let you die with dignity.”
Black Fox gulped down his saliva. “Give up, dude. I will never tell you no matter what. You can
deceive others with this but not me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis countersurveillance was good, and his mentality was much better than average people.
“Very well. I have all the time in my life to wait until the drug kicks in.” Ethan returned to his seat.
Casually, he flipped through Black Fox’s information. “Nationality, Arlandia. An orphan.
According to the document, you have a younger brother.”
Black Fox’s eyes widened. Throughout his years of hiding in secrecy, he hadn’t expected someone
else to find out about that.
“He doesn’t know anything. Leave him alone.” He was finally fazed.
Ethan flipped the page lazily. “Really? Innocent? What about my barely two-year-old son? Isn’t he
innocent too? When you pushed him off, did you ever think that he was just a child who didn’t
know anything?”
Brent entered the room. He whispered a few words into Ethan’s ear and passed over a phone.
“Unluckily for you, your phone is unlocked.”
There were no suspicious contacts in his phone. There was not even a picture of his younger

The latest message he received was a message from his apartment’s management, urging him to
pay the rent.
Black Fox didn’t mingle around with others, let alone have friends. He was a disciplined man
“You should know that messages can be restored even after getting deleted.”
Black Fox sneered. “Isn’t it possible that I have no chat history at all? Do you think that I wouldn’t
have expected to get caught? Stop wasting your time. As I said, I won’t say anything.”
“You have it coming.” Ethan snapped his fingers, instructing Brent to show footage.
Standing under a dim light, a young man was washing the dishes in a barbeque restaurant with
smooth movements. Sweat was trickling down his forehead.
Looking at the busy man, Black Fox could recognize his brother at one glance.
“Your brother is a model student. He takes up three part-time jobs during summer break to earn
money to pursue studies abroad. He has a lot of potential, but it’s too bad
Ethan sighed. “I’ve always favored people with potential. But a debt should always be repaid. He
can repay whatever you owe me. What do you think of Starry Building?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What are you trying to do?”
“Simple. I’ll do the same thing you did to my son to your brother. Brent, if I remember correctly,
Starry Building has 32 floors, right?”
Brent added, “You’ve remembered it wrongly. There are 52 floors. Someone jumped off that
building a month ago. I heard that his head cracked and his brain juice splattered all over the
ground. His whole body broke apart.”
Black Fox was aware that that was the most common threat to exist. However, he couldn’t keep
his cool because his brother was involved.
It seemed that the drug was kicking in too as beads of sweat were flowing to the tip of his nose.
Brent’s phone was put on speaker. A man’s voice resounded amidst the noisy background noise.
Man, my sister is going to jump off the building. You look like her ex. Could you please talk her
out of it?
“She’s my only family. I really can’t lose her.”
“How can I help you?”
“She wrote a suicide note. She’s going to the rooftop of this building. Please come with me.”
“Okay. Calm down. I’ll come with you.” The innocent young man sounded anxious.
