Chapter 718

Sabo felt a pang of helplessness and regret.

After being captured by the bandits, he had already lost hope.

The gap in strength between enemy and ally was far too great.

The disparity in numbers was also far too great.

If they wanted to escape…

They could only wait for an opportunity.

To find the moment when these bandits grew lax.

Not long after.

The three were brought to the garbage mountain.

Amid the bustling efforts of several burly men.

The three of them were quickly bound to separate iron pillars.

At this moment,

The bandit leader stepped forward, gazing at the three struggling brats, grinning savagely: "Brats, you've got some guts—daring to attack me outright!"

"I have to say…"

"This courage is truly admirable."

"But unfortunately…"

"You're fools."

"You knew we were this numerous, yet still dared to attack us with nothing but blind rage."

"This isn't bravery—it's utter stupidity!"

"Let me see just how much backbone you three brats really have."

Saying this,

He prepared to order someone to bring a knife, slowly wearing down the lives of these three brats.

To murder them cruelly!

"Y-You want to do what?"

Sabo was panicked.

"Now you're afraid?"

"Too late!"

"I'll cut off your flesh, slice by slice."

"I want to see…"

"How long these three brats can endure."

The bandit leader smiled broadly.

Hearing this,

Ace's face darkened; he clenched his teeth and growled low: "Let them go! I'll take full responsibility! Do with me as you please!"

"Brat, you've got some guts."

The bandit leader looked surprised.

Then,

He sneered: "You say you'll take full responsibility? Can you even bear it? Don't you overestimate yourself too much?"

"I said it."

"None of you three brats are leaving alive."

"Today is the day you three brats die!"

"How dare you attack me? Who gave you the nerve? I'll make you regret attacking me!"

"You're three brothers? Then why not try now—beg me, and maybe I'll feel generous and give you a quick death."

A moment later,

One of his men, eager and excited, brought a large cleaver to the bandit leader's side.

Thus,

Around them,

Over eight hundred bandits watched with keen interest, awaiting the spectacle.

They were eager.

Could these three stubborn brats withstand their boss's cruel torture?

"Come on! Place your bets!"

"I bet those three brats won't last more than thirty seconds."

"Thirty seconds? I bet twenty!"

"Don't you know how cruel our boss is?"

"Twenty seconds is being generous—they'll last at most fifteen."

"With this level of willpower, fifteen seconds is their limit. By then, you'll all be begging on your knees."

"Brothers, place your bets!"

"…"

Over eight hundred bandits grinned savagely, watching with morbid delight, showing not a trace of pity—only anticipation.

They seemed desperate to see…

Ace, Little Lufei, and the other two brats being tortured to death by their boss.

Such things were nothing to them.

Clearly, they were no longer anything new.

Given their understanding of their boss's nature.

They had seen this kind of thing too many times.

They could hardly count them anymore!

"Would you like to try begging for mercy from me?"

"I might even show you mercy."

The bandit chief held a cleaver and smiled warmly at Ace and Little Lufei's three brothers.

With those words spoken.

Ace gritted his teeth, face full of heaviness.

"Damn bastard! Let us go right now!"

Little Lufei was still struggling and shouting.

"Please…"

Seeing Little Lufei and Sabo's miserable state, Ace's face was filled with despair, his eyes carrying sorrow and anger.

He was about to speak and beg for mercy on behalf of Little Lufei and Sabo.

He could die.

But Little Lufei and Sabo must live!

Yet just then.

In the distance,

Suddenly, without warning…

A hurried set of footsteps came echoing.
