?Chapter 878:
Harlee’s tone was gentle, contrasting with the cruelty lying behind her words.
At the vivid threats of being savagely beaten and stripped of their manhood, the three men’splexions turned ashen.
Although they preferred enduring physical agony over humiliation, the terror of withstanding Harlee’s torment was overwhelming.
Under Harlee’s calcted pressure, their resolve began to falter, and their unwavering loyalty to Hale showed signs of breaking.
The soldiers observed the shift in these three men’s demeanor with a knowing look, unsurprised that the fearless look the three had worn earlier was gone.
The soldiers all knew too well that anyone who faced Harlee’s interrogation never left without scars, physical or otherwise.
Harlee calmly sipped her coffee, her eyes restingzily on the trembling trio.
Her eyebrow arched as she addressed them.
“Well? Made up your mind yet?”
The three men exchanged hesitant nces, their lips moving as if wanting to speak.
Harlee extended one elegant finger, her icy gaze sweeping across the group before settling on their leader.
“You’ll be the one to answer me.”
Without dy, Ritchie stepped forward, resetting the group leader’s dislocated jaw.
Once able to speak, the leader stammered, “I…”
Harlee ced a finger to her lips, silencing him.

“Hush. Think carefully. You get only one chance.”
The leader froze, his words dying before they could form.
He dared not choose any way to end him and his men, nor betray Hale’s secrets.
Harlee showed no impatience, casually sipping her coffee, her demeanor unhurried as she waited for the leader to break.
After five tense minutes of silence, Harlee spoke with eerie calmness.
“Not talking? Then I’ll take your silence as consent to confess.”
Her gaze flicked to the other two men, who quickly nodded inpliance.
“Good,” she said with a satisfied smile.
“Let’s begin with Anika. If you don’t know anything about her, perhaps you can enlighten me about Lucretia.”
The leader’s eyes widened in shock.
He hadn’t anticipated that Harlee would know about Lucretia and Anika.
As one of Hale’s most trusted warriors, he was privy to information others weren’t.
For instance, Anika wasn’t merely Lucretia’s cherished daughter but also a notorious chemist in Uwhor’s underworld.
Her true skill wasn’t in healing but in concocting experimental substances, some of which defied imagination. She was a mastermind in developing newpounds and reverse-engineering existing ones, making her a formidable force in the shadows. This expertise was invaluable to Hale, enabling him to execute countless critical operations.
