Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

However, even though I was disdainful, I couldn't help but admire the charm of this building.

The imposing castle is an Italian palace-style building with a strong Renaissance influence, and its roof is adorned with Gothic spires.

With a leap, he arrived in the courtyard. The courtyard seemed peaceful, but in reality, there were hidden sentries watching over several important passages, as well as numerous cameras.

However, these were no obstacle for him, and he quickly entered the castle.

Passing through the outer foyer, you enter the central hall, which is exceptionally luxurious. The atrium has a ceiling height of over fifty feet, exquisitely carved Gothic stone arches, a large fireplace, magnificent chandeliers, and walls covered with beautiful oil paintings, all exuding sophistication and elegance.

However, the sounds coming from the castle were rather unpleasant to his ears, filled with all sorts of filthy language and screams.

He suppressed his anger and searched the entire manor. Fortunately, he found a lot of information about the Skeleton Knights in a very secluded room. The information in this ancient castle was just as good as the castle itself.

These important documents were not stored on a computer, but were instead bound into a book and placed in this room.

According to these documents, the Skeleton Knights' businesses are quite extensive. However, these accounts also reveal some things: a large sum of money was transferred out suddenly a little over a month ago.

The sums involved were over a billion dollars, which were simply transferred away. The Skeleton Knights were already suffering heavy losses, and this incident only made matters worse.

In other words, the Skeleton Knights are facing a huge financial deficit.

He quickly organized the two most important accounts, packed them up, and then he could get down to business.

There is a need for kindness and humanitarianism when dealing with people, but there is absolutely no need for it when dealing with animals.

What he saw in the accounts he had just reviewed was not just deficits, but also blood debts!

The Skeleton Knights' business was incredibly diverse; drug trafficking was just one of them, while trafficking women and smuggling goods were commonplace.

There's even the sale of human organs!

They have committed countless evil deeds!

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. Torture to extract confessions and then murder to cover it up must be a very interesting thing, right?

A large door in the corridor suddenly opened, and a tall, burly white man walked out. He had clearly just come from a period of drinking and debauchery, and his whole body reeked of alcohol.

He had just stepped out when he suddenly lost consciousness. When he woke up, he saw a handsome young man smiling at him.

"You don't need to know who I am. I only have two questions. If you answer them well, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll chop you into pieces!"

The white man was instantly terrified and tried desperately to struggle, but he couldn't move an inch, and even his tongue had become stiff.

"Previously, your Skeleton Knights kidnapped the Suzuki family's daughter and advisor Suzuki Jirokichi from a villa. Where are they now?"

He slapped the other person on the face, instantly relaxing the stiff muscles and restoring his ability to speak.

"I don't know what you're talking about. You'd better let me go, or you'll definitely face legal consequences... Ah!"

Before the word "sanction" could even be uttered, it turned into a scream, because Miyazaki Yu directly plunged a small silver knife he had taken from the kitchen into the back of his hand, pinning it to the ground.

Then stiffen his muscles again, causing him extreme pain, yet he can't utter a single word, leaving the white man writhing like a maggot in a small area—that's fine too.

After that, the guy could no longer pretend to be elegant and reverted to his original ferocious appearance.

Chapter 490 Bloody Slaughter (3rd Update!)

"In this world, the most direct means are the most effective. Torture is the most direct means. The reason why this method is repeatedly prohibited but not stopped is because of its effectiveness. Torture is truly effective."

Miyazaki Yu muttered to herself as she admired the white man's pained expression, an expression so perfect it resembled that of the woman who was unable to move in that room.

He reached out and patted the other person's face again, restoring their ability to speak.

"Now you can talk about it."

"I know nothing!"

The words had barely left his mouth when his other hand was instantly pierced through by a silver dinner knife!

This knife has always been used only to cut steaks, never knowing that one day it would need to take on a new identity: a torture instrument for extracting confessions.

After delivering that first stab, Miyazaki Yu didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he drew his knife and stabbed the other man twice more, while he sat by and watched indifferently.

In the eyes of the white man at that moment, he was simply a devil who had crawled out of hell!

Moreover, after he refused twice, the other party stopped asking and seemed to have begun to find the greatest pleasure in tormenting himself.

The penetrating knife wound caused immense pain, and the angle chosen by the attacker was quite clever; despite the continuous penetrating wounds, there wasn't much bleeding.

But this made him feel like he was living a life worse than death!

Time passed by, and those few minutes felt like days.

"This is your last chance to get me a satisfactory answer."

"I'll tell you everything, please don't kill me!"

His eyes were full of pleading. At this moment, he had lost all his arrogance. He was like a lowly lapdog, crawling on the blood-soaked ground, like a pitiful earthworm.

"We did take action against the Suzuki family, but that wasn't our intention. We were acting under orders. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to act against a large conglomerate like the Suzuki Group."

Miyazaki Yu sneered, "I asked where the person is!"

"I don't know either. After we caught them, someone moved them away."

"Someone? Who is it? Is it the headquarters of your Skeleton Knights? Or someone from the Skull and Bones Society?"

The white youth shook his head: "I don't know either. The Skull Knights are extremely secretive and practice mysticism. They gather according to the rituals of an ancient religion, and all members need to hide their identities. As for their relationship with the Skull and Bones Society, that's beyond my knowledge. However, based on my speculation, this incident is very likely the work of the Skull and Bones Society."

He had barely finished speaking when he was struck hard on the neck and immediately lost consciousness.

After hiding him in a corner, he used the same method to capture another person, tortured him to extract a confession, and obtained a similar piece of information.

"These guys are really something else."

He couldn't help but marvel at how such a large organization was so meticulously organized.

With its strict hierarchy, tight system, and use of religion and other means to strengthen a sense of belonging, it feels similar to a cult.

Because these guys were extremely fanatical about the Skeleton Knights, Miyazaki Yu had to use very cruel methods to pry them open during each interrogation.

However, the corroboration of multiple testimonies has made the outline of this massive organization increasingly clear.

This so-called Skeleton Knights can be seen as a large gang with deep roots in politics, business, and even more.

A large number of upper-class people, as well as elites from both the political and business circles, are their 'members'.

And this so-called member is the one who enjoys various special services.

For example, if a wealthy elderly person is one of their members, and one day one of their organs suddenly fails, but there are no more donors available, then they can apply to them for a replacement.

In just a few days, a freshly matched organ will be placed in an insulated box and presented to the wealthy old man.

Countless similar cases exist, including but not limited to beautiful women, antiques, drugs, and so on. There's nothing they won't do!

He also roughly guessed the relationship between the so-called Skeleton Knights and the Skull and Bones Society. Knights were used to protect and guard lords or kings, and the name Skeleton Knights clearly explained the relationship between the two.

The Skeleton Knights can be considered the front man of the Skull and Bones Society.

In other words, it's like saying, "You do the things I'm not comfortable doing, you kill the people I'm not comfortable killing." The members of Skull and Bones are all from wealthy families, how could they possibly do such despicable things?

To give an analogy, the Skull and Bones Society and the Skull Knights are similar to the Third Hokage and Danzo in Naruto. One stands in the sunlight, playing the role of the righteous and noble, while the other hides in the darkness, acting as the white glove for the righteous and noble. They do all the things that the other cannot do.

After figuring all this out, Miyazaki Yu surprisingly showed no anger. However, this calm was like the calm before a storm, often foreshadowing something even more terrible about to happen.

"None of you know where the headquarters is, right? Very well, I'll use the simplest method to find them!"

At this moment, all the knights who had been tortured and interrogated had awakened. This was, of course, intentional on Miyazaki Yu's part. He wanted to go on a killing spree and also give everyone in the castle time to send some information upstairs, so as to lure them out.

The intense pain caused them to howl and scream, just like wild dogs that had been kicked a few times.

One of them had just let out two cries of pain when he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his perspective. Why did his eyes seem to be seeing his own side profile?

From the perspective of others, his head fell silently after Miyazaki Yu gently waved his hand!

However, this was just the beginning. The second one followed immediately. It was a black man whose large black head suddenly split in two, with his left eye seeing the side of his right eye. This strange perspective might only happen once in a lifetime.

At this point, these tortured idiots finally realized that the other side had gotten what they wanted and began a massacre!

The remaining people screamed in terror, but what awaited them was a silent transformation into pieces.

The person was perfectly intact, but in the blink of an eye, the person suddenly and inexplicably split apart from head to toe, like a broken piece of porcelain, with blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground!

In the blink of an eye, the entire room turned into a blood-red hell!

The screams finally alerted the others in the castle. When the guards arrived, they saw Miyazaki Yu slowly walking out of the room, and blood was already flowing out of the closed door.

The guards drew their guns, pointed them at Miyazaki Yu, and began shouting at him.

But the instant they raised their hands, their palms were silently severed, and their hands, along with their pistols, fell to the ground.

This scene stunned everyone!

Chapter 491 Invisible

"what!"

Pleasure and fear are always intertwined, appearing together like twins.

How is this possible? What happened? What force cleaved him in two? He didn't even see what weapon the other person used!

But reality is cruel. Even if Miyazaki Yu doesn't move his body or arms, with the Sword Spirit, he can condense sword energy directly on his body without weapons, and then activate it with a little effort!

At this moment, his body was like a transmitter of sword energy, constantly emitting powerful sword energy from his body surface. This sword energy was invisible and extremely sharp, capable of cutting through steel in an instant.

If it can cut through steel, then the fragile human body is naturally as easy to destroy as tofu!

The guard with the severed hand had just screamed when his voice abruptly stopped, because his head had rolled to the ground the next second.

Like a ball that has been kicked away, it has lost all vitality.

This scene is absolutely terrifying!

But something even more terrifying followed. This time, however, it wasn't an attack. Instead, they were horrified to discover that the enemy's figures began to distort and deform in their eyes, as if they were instantly entangled with the aurora borealis and blurred.

"What's going on? I can't see this person clearly anymore?"

"I can't see clearly, is this a demon?"

An overwhelming look of terror crossed the faces of these white people.

This wasn't because Miyazaki Yu had invented any new techniques, but rather a natural ability that arose after his strength increased. Simply put, it was one person influencing another.

For example, when a person sees a tiger, they feel that the tiger is very imposing and majestic. This so-called imposing aura is actually the influence that the tiger's own strength exerts on weaker humans.
