Chapter 1546: The Person Is Not Here

Some people had even already died, their bodies gnawed beyond recognition by some unknown carnivorous fish, and a faint, bloody stench permeated the air; everything before their eyes made one feel somewhat terrified.

Chen Bo and the others had already arrived, and they were originally checking one by one, but the situation improved much after Chen Yu arrived; Chen Yu released a Divine Sense and then shook his head: "The person is not here."

"Let's withdraw to a hidden place first." Chen Bo was slightly stunned; since they couldn't find the person in the Torture Chamber or the Water Prison, they could only change locations to discuss it further.

The group arrived at a blind spot for surveillance and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Mr. Chen, is Wang Cheng also not in the Torture Chamber?" Chen Bo asked.

"He is not. I have already probed with my perception, and that place is empty." Chen Yu shook his head and said: "The Water Prison is the same; he is simply not there."

"Then where could he have gone?" Zhou Ran was a bit anxious; having dealt with Wang Cheng for such a long time, she considered him a friend, and now that Wang Cheng's life or death was uncertain, she was truly worried.

"Don't be anxious. Think carefully, besides this place, are there any other places where people are held?" Chen Bo asked.

"I don't know. I only know that these two places are where they deal with enemies on Pirate Island; I really don't know if there are any other places where people can be held." Zhou Ran shook her head.

"What about his residence?" Chen Yu suddenly brought up this question.

"Now the whole island has been occupied by others, how could he still be in his residence?" Zhou Ran was slightly stunned; according to normal logical thinking, the entire island had been occupied by Wang Cheng's subordinate Dike, so how could Wang Cheng still be in his residence now?

"Nothing is absolute. What do you think of Wang Cheng's prestige among this group of people?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Pirate Island was established by him, and he accepted many poor people who couldn't survive in their own countries, so his prestige on Pirate Island is the highest." Zhou Ran said: "Even though his subordinates rebelled this time, I see that most of the faces are strangers; I reckon they are outside reinforcements."

"That's it, then. So it is highly likely that he is not in places like the Torture Chamber, but is being controlled by Dike in his own residence, because his prestige is too high, so Dike dares not kill him directly." Chen Yu said: "Or perhaps he has something important in his hands, so Dike can only trap him in his own home for now."

"Chen Lao Li is absolutely right. If Wang Cheng really has such high prestige as you said, then even if his subordinates betrayed him, they wouldn't dare to be so blatant; they could only lie and say he is sick and cannot go out." Chen Bo also nodded.

"His residence is at this location." Zhou Ran pondered for a moment, then took out a map and marked it.

"Then without further ado, let's go look there; perhaps there will be an unexpected surprise." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Let's go, I'll follow Mr. Chen's instructions." Zhou Ran nodded.

At the headquarters, in front of a luxurious villa, the outside was now surrounded by heavy troops; these people were not the pirates on the island, but a private armed force wearing uniform camouflage and black berets.

On their shoulders was a medal with a red skull painted on it, representing their identity.

Red Skull was a mysterious underground force in the West, and their members were mostly gangsters and warlords; whenever the Western World mentioned Red Skull, everyone would change color in fear.

An extreme underground organization had actually set its sights on Pirate Island, which was somewhat inconceivable.

The private armed force outside all held weapons and stood neatly in the surroundings, numbering about several hundred; compared to the disorganized pirates outside, they were well-trained and absolutely elite.

Furthermore, there were tanks, armored vehicles, and the like parked outside, and two helicopters were circling in the vicinity; clearly, the person inside was very important.

Inside the room, a black man wearing camouflage and a black beret stood in front of an office desk.

Behind the desk was an Oriental man; he was Wang Cheng. Now his face was pale, he had multiple wounds on his body, and his clothes were seeping blood.

And his subordinate Dike stood to one side, holding an AK in his hand, looking at him with a ferocious grin.

"Wang, General Yie'er of the Red Skull has come to see you in person. Are you still going to be so unappreciative?" Dike was actually speaking fluent Huaxia; of course, these were all taught by Wang Cheng.

"Heh, General Yie'er, known as the number one city-slaughterer; every time he occupies a territory, he slaughters all the local inhabitants, with the blood of tens of thousands of innocent people on his hands." Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and smiled: "It is truly my honor to have the famous General Yie'er of the Red Skull come in person to deal with a small character like me."

"Heh, Wang, you are a very capable person. I know your past; you served in the Delta Force, and after retiring, you wandered in the Middle East as a mercenary. You had a family, a wife, and children."

Yie'er slowly pressed his hands down and stared at Wang Cheng: "But your wife and children died in an accident during a local riot, and after that, you organized your mercenary team and attacked that armed group."

"You know quite a lot, don't you." Wang Cheng grinned and said: "What else do you know?"

"I also know that the local armed group of nearly two hundred people, who possessed high-end weapons, was smashed to pieces by your mercenary team, and you personally cut off the head of their leader." Yie'er said with a laugh: "Then you disbanded your team and drifted to this place, becoming a pirate."

"It was just changing the way I live." Wang Cheng said indifferently: "Even if I hide well, I will still be targeted by others, won't I?"

"That's right. The reason you are targeted is because you have a secret in your hands, and this secret is on this island." Yie'er pressed his hands down, looking directly at Wang Cheng, putting great pressure on him.

"The death of your wife and children was also mostly because of this secret, right?" Yie'er laughed: "After you avenged them, you entrenched yourself on this island just to guard this secret?"

"There is no such thing as a damn secret, and I don't know where you heard these rumors." Wang Cheng shook his head and said: "Yie'er, if you are truly a man, then give me a quick death; torturing me like this has no meaning."

"I went to such great lengths to come here just for this secret. Don't worry, before I figure out this secret, you won't die." Yie'er laughed loudly: "But you have to cooperate with me. If you don't cooperate with me, it will make things very difficult for me."
