“I’m going to give you two choices. One, your woman and your two children. But my guess is that you’d be reluctant. So… do you see the box under the table?”

Gu Jinglian took half a step back. As expected, there was a box under the table.

He hesitated.

“Don’t worry! It’s not a bomb in there. If I wanted you dead, I wouldn’t have hidden the bomb in this box. Heh.”

Taking a deep breath, Gu Jinglian lifted the box and opened it. Inside were two strange-looking torture devices.

One seemed to be an iron balaclava, but within this headgear was hidden an extraordinary mystery.

The iron balaclava was fitted over the head with two electric drills aimed at the temple. If the mechanism was triggered, the drills would drive into the temple until they pierced the skull.

The other, which appeared to be an amputating device used to hold the hand in place. Triggering the mechanism would sever the fingers at the root.

“These two items are your stakes. Take your pick! Haha! When you’re ready, the game will officially begin! However, I have a word of advice for you…”

Black Panther narrowed his eyes. “I’m not going to bind you with anything. But if you’re going to escape and leave this warehouse before the game is over, then your woman and the two bastards in her belly are as good as dead, and I will go down with them!”

Behind him, Chu He roared in fury.

Gu Jinglian suddenly said, “Chu He, don’t worry. You’ll be fine. I’m here.”

With that, he took out the two torture devices.

He couldn’t help sneering silently. No wonder Black Panther said that it didn’t matter if he carried a gun. It was useless!

This man wanted to torture him, even if that would be the last thing he’d ever do.

However, the one playing against him was his right hand man, Qingjiu!

Qingjiu was his most loyal subject.

Gu Jinglian’s face tightened.

Black Panther said, “First of all, fight for points. The one with more points will choose a torture device!”

The dealer dealt out two cards. At the same time, the secured cuff on one of Qingjiu’s arms released automatically so that the arm was freed.

“Boss, if you leave now, there’s still time!”

Qingjiu lowered his voice. “Leave me alone. You leave now!”

“I can’t leave.”

Gu Jinglian’s voice was soft but firm.

He sat down in his seat. At the same time, he asked, “How can I be sure that if I played this game with you, you won’t hurt her?!”

“You know what I’m like! Back then, when I lost to you, I followed your rules and took the initiative to break my own arm. Similarly, I follow the rules. Heh, if you believe me, continue. If you don’t, it’s up to you!”

Gu Jinglian gritted his teeth. Except that he had no choice at all.

If he chose to believe, he had a fifty-fifty chance of saving Chu He.

If he chose not to believe the man, then he wouldn’t even have a tenth of a chance.

Either way, he had to take a gamble.

“Turn the cards!”

Gu Jinglian flipped the card over. 6 of clubs.

Qingjiu studied Gu Jinglian closely, and finally understood what Chu He meant to Gu Jinglian. He turned his card over as well.

The jack of hearts.

Qingjiu had the higher score. He would choose his torture device first.

It had to be said that Black Panther was very good at torturing people. Ability to choose one’s torture device meant ability to choose life or death.
