Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 311 Punishing the Mercenaries

The mercenary dispatched by the Wolf Gang had committed a heinous act to infiltrate the Gomez family. He callously ended the life of one of their bodyguards, donned his attire, and assumed his identity to gain entry. After returning from the Divine Doctor Association, Mildred took charge of investigating and managing the situation.

Now, the family of the Gomez family's bodyguard has received compensation from the Gomez family. The bodyguard's corpse was found in a horribly mutilated state, but Sylvester has instructed that it be properly buried. Sylvester was playing with the ring on his left hand, and the moment he heard this, a thought flashed through his mind. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Since he likes wearing a mask so much, let's strip it off." Upon hearing this, his subordinate immediately went to carry out the order.

The subordinate approached the mercenary and said, annoyed, "If you don't talk, you won't keep your skin. Are you sure you won't talk?"

The mercenary was trembling with fear but remained silent, even as the subordinate brandished a sharp knife at him.

Seeing this, Sylvester squinted his eyes.

He suddenly thought of the poison hidden in the teeth of Wolf Gang members and fell into deep thought.

He didn't believe there were people in this world who weren't afraid of death. So why were Wolf Gang members so loyal and so willing to face death to protect their queen?

The subordinate commenced the gruesome act of flaying the mercenary's leg, prompting agonizing screams. The subordinate persisted, "Will you talk now?"

The mercenary cried tears, snot, and sweat but still refused to speak.

In the next second, the skin of one leg was peeled off and thrown aside.

The mercenary fainted from the pain.

The subordinate, who was the dead bodyguard's brother, was furious at how his brother's body had been treated and impersonated. He used all his strength in his torture.

Seeing the mercenary in such pain, he felt a bit of satisfaction. He then turned to Sylvester and asked, "Sylvester, shall we continue?"

Sylvester glanced at the subordinate, saw the hatred on his face, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Yes."

The subordinate, having received the order, continued with more force.

The mercenary, a hired gun who had infiltrated and slain one of Sylvester's men, assumed the guise of Sylvester's subordinate, and served the Wolf Gang, seemed inconsequential in the face of his impending demise. Meanwhile, Lela had finished her bath and, seeing that Sylvester hadn't returned, couldn't sleep. Should she tell Sylvester about her being an assassin? She didn't want to.

She didn't want to tell him that she had taken countless lives.

Because Sylvester had no idea what crazy things she had done during those years.

After thinking for a while and still not seeing Sylvester return, Lela pulled off the covers, got out of bed, and ran downstairs barefoot.

But Lela didn't need to find out where Sylvester was.

After a moment's contemplation, she dialed Mildred's number. Mildred, noticing Lela's call, answered promptly, without much thought. "Lela, what's up?"

Lela said, "I want to find Sylvester. Do you know where he is?"

Mildred, who was at the basement door, replied vaguely, "Sylvester is probably out for a walk. I don't know."

Lela immediately sensed something was wrong and said, "Never mind."

She hung up the phone.

She knew Mildred was lying.

She quickly used her phone's GPS, skillfully tracked Mildred's recent location, and followed the route.
