Heavenly Dao Child 193 Interrogation

Antariskh spoke with her voice laced with concern, "Brother, are you alright?"

Before Ryuu could speak he was being diagnosed by Shamiran who frowned as she checked over him, "How did you gain such injuries? Although it has been a few hours since you have started healing."

Ryuu smiled as he spoke, "Well I had a swordman's duel with someone, well it got a bit heated and ended up getting injured."

Sylvana: "Oh and who won?"

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "I lost", before he perked up again as he spoke, "Although I might have lost but I gained something invaluable.", he finished with a smug look on his face.

Antariskh raised one of her eyebrows as she asked Ryuu curiosity evident from her voice, "Oh and what did my brother gained from his loss."

Ryuu puffed up his chest as he raised his fingers gathering a bit of sword force generated with the help of the Grand Dao of Sword on them as he spoke, "I finally broke through the Grandmaster realm."

The sisters' eyes widened before the cracked a smile as they hugged him.

Antariskh: "I am so proud of you brother, I am so proud words cannot describe how much pride I feel because of you."

Ryuu simply scratched his cheeks as he blushed hard at that.

Shamiran: "Well but let us get into the matter at hand, who did anger this time Ryuu?"

Ryuu pouted as he spoke, "What do you mean by that?, I so do not anger anyone."

Shamiran just gave a disbelieving look as she spoke, "Yes yes, who was the one who picked a fight with a few people and had assassins send after him."

Ryuu simply get a sheepish look as he spoke, "Well that was different and this time I do not know who is trying to kill me, the last place I visited I have defeated a few people but I doubt they have the ability to track me down."

Shamiran: "I see so you want to interrogate this two you caught, how many did escape?"

Ryuu: "Well I do not know the exact number but there was another who tried to kill me along with them as soon as I captured them, he/she is already dead I used a poisoned arrow on that fellow."

Sylvana: "What type of poison did you use?"

Ryuu smirked as she replied, "I used undiluted version 'Frozen Maiden's bliss'."

Antariskh: "Do you know anything about interrogating someone Ryuu?"

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "No sister nothing except a few general ideas from some novels I had read back in Ayindril as such I sought you all out."

Shamiran nodded at that as she spoke, "A good think brother, the moment you would have awakened this mongrels they would have died, see here they have poison stored inside their molars.", she pointed as she opened one of the assassin's mouth.

Ryuu: "Is it common for people of their professions."

Shamiran: "In case of professionals yes they do, in fact I have seen some having some sort of suicidal arrays placed on them which they would detonate if their mission fail."

Ryuu frowned as he spoke in distaste, "ugh, what a sore loser they are."

Only to get bonked on his head by Antariskh, "Brother, do not say something like that, I know my parents taught you well, 'After all losers are beggars and….'"

Ryuu finished her sentence with a sigh, "'...….Winners are kings', as such I should try to win any means necessary, except in an 'Honorable' duel."

Antariskh nodded before giving a teasing smirk, "Also I remember a certain 7 year old who tried to blow himself up along with his adversary using a 'Taboo technique', he stole from his master."

Ryuu winced at that, he still clearly remembered the disappointment and sadness in his mother's eyes upon learning that he had tried to commit suicide in order to defeat his enemy.

Shamiran with great skill not only removed the molars she even stripped them naked had them hung with both their hands and legs tied.

Shamiran: "A person's confidence is greatly shaken when they are devoid of their clothes.", she nodded towards her sisters.

Ryuu looked towards the both assassins a male and a female, both stripped naked one with blonde hair another with black hair. Sylvana stepped forward as she snapped her fingers as the duo seemed to be enclosed inside small transparent room, Sylvana and Shamiran both nodded towards each other as they stepped inside the room.

Meanwhile Ryuu was dragged by Antarisksk who made him seat beside her on a table present inside the room as she spoke, "Interrogating someone is a delicate art, it not only takes time and patience in order to break a person and extract their knowledge. There are various methods for successful interrogations which are based on deceptions, playing with emotions such as fear, sometimes playing with their ego and pride, using of various arrays or medicinal pills, and last but not least torture."

Ryuu was listening to her attentively as she kept speaking, "See those two they are employing different methods to achieve their objective, Sylvana is using a combination of arrays and medicinal pills causing the woman to develop a sense of trust to the point where she will soon divulge everything she knows and Shamiran on the other hand is using a combination of arrays and medicinal pills along with various methods of physical torture to make that person loosen his tongue out of fear and possible promise of freedom from pain."

Ryuu watched in awe as his older sisters skillfully extracted the information from them within a quarter of an hour, and soon they stepped forward discussing the intel they gathered amongst themselves before they nodded to each other as the molars flew back into the two assassins' mouth but this time broken and within mere seconds the duo passed away.

Shamiran: "So brother did you learn anything?"

Ryuu nodded at that, as Sylvana spoke, "Well even if you learn anything from watching I strongly suggest that you should not try yourself as of yet you need a few more demonstration then a few practice material before you could call yourself decent interrogator, if you make mistake you could instead cause them to clamp down on the information even more."

Antariskh: "So who is after our brother's head?"

Shamiran: "Someone has contacted the assassin's guild named 'Crooked Tavern', a sizable bounty of 100 low Immortal level spirit coins on Ryuu's head, unfortunately they do not know who placed the bounty."

Ryuu frowned at that, "That is problematic sister, the more time passes and more powerful assassins will come after my head and from what I have seen till now they will try anything and everything in order to kill me I do not want some innocent to die in the crossfire."

Antariksh: "Do not worry about Ryuu, leave all those worrisome things to us."

Ryuu sighed before he spoke again, "Sister how did you discern if the person is speaking the truth?"

Shamiran: "Well you can do such by studying their body language, using arrays or using certain medicinal pills, in this case since we had two different people we simply compared the result of our interrogations, but if you reach certain level of strength you could have easily read their mind which we did just at the beginning."

Ryuu's jaw dropped at that as he spoke, "That mean all this time you…"

Sylvana finished with a smile, "Well we already knew everything it was to know by reading their mind we just gave you a demonstration of interrogation."

Ryuu simply shook his head as he muttered under his breath, 'Too overpowered seriously is there anything they cannot do.'

Shamiran: "Well brother you have the bodies disposed of while you go take some rest, if someone asks you, you say that they committed suicide before you could extract any information I have already made sure their bodies are as they were when they were captured as such you will able to convince everyone, and as for the person who put the bounty on your head leave him to us, when we find anything about him we will inform you."

With that the trio of sisters left after exchanging goodbyes to Ryuu who simply sighed as he thought, 'I hope I do not have to deal with more of their guild mates last thing I want is tearing apart someone's family because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time.', he deactivated the barrier as he informed the people waiting outside about his failure and also requested to dispose of the bodies, 'sigh, I need some fine tea to clear my head.'
