Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki - Capítulo 21

21: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 21: The Iron interrogation 21: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 21: The Iron interrogation Chapter 21: The Iron interrogation The scene outside the apartment was chaotic.

Yujo gripped Xyron roughly by the back of his neck, forcing him into the black armored car.

Maki tried to lung forward, her face streaked with tears.

“Xyron!

Leave him alone!” she screamed, but two elite Knight Guards blocked her path, their heavy shields shoving her back.

“Maki, stay back!” Xyron managed to shout before the car door slammed shut.

Inside the vehicle, the silence was suffocating.

Chairman Lee sat beside Xyron, his gaze fixed forward.

“Where are you taking me?

I haven’t done anything wrong!” Xyron demanded, his voice trembling slightly.

“Be quiet,” the Chairman replied coldly.

“You’ll speak when you’re told to.” The car pulled up to the massive, fortress-like Association Headquarters.

Xyron was marched through the halls and directly into the Chairman’s private office.

The heavy oak doors locked behind them.

The Chairman sat behind his desk, while Yujo stood behind Xyron like a hungry predator.

“Sit,” the Chairman commanded.

Xyron sat, the mana-suppression cuffs feeling heavier than lead on his wrists.

“That energy we felt…

it came from your home.

It came from you.

Explain it.” “It wasn’t me,” Xyron lied, his heart hammering.

“I don’t have that kind of power.

I’m just a Rank 2.

Please, let me go home.” “I’m asking you one last time,” the Chairman’s eyes glowed with a faint, dangerous light.

“Was that soul energy yours?” “No!

It wasn’t!” The Chairman didn’t say another word.

He simply gave a slight nod to Yujo.

In an instant, Yujo spawned a jagged dagger.

He moved with the speed of a Rank 1 knight, appearing behind Xyron and pressing the cold edge of the blade against his throat.

“The Chairman doesn’t like liars, kid,” Yujo whispered in his ear.

“Tell the truth, or this room becomes your grave.” “I…

I’m not lying!” Xyron gasped.

Yujo slammed his hand over Xyron’s mouth, muffling his scream, and drove the dagger deep into Xyron’s thigh.

Blood erupted, soaking through his pants and pooling on the floor.

Xyron’s eyes bulged in agony, his muffled groans vibrating against Yujo’s palm.

After a few agonizing seconds, Yujo pulled his hand away.

“Now,” the Chairman said, leaning forward.

“Tell me everything.” “I…

I didn’t do it!” Xyron sobbed, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

“Please…

stop…” Yujo raised the dagger again, aiming for the other leg.

“NO!

WAIT!

STOP!” Xyron screamed, his resolve breaking under the pain.

“There’s…

there’s a monster.

A monster lives inside me!

It was his energy!” The Chairman stood up, his face twisting in disgust.

“Monsters inside humans?

Do you think I’m a fool?

Do you think I’ve reached the S-Rank by listening to fairy tales?” The Chairman walked around the desk.

He grabbed Xyron by the hair, forcing him to stand up.

The power difference was staggering.

As an S-Rank, the Chairman’s mere presence felt like a mountain crushing Xyron.

He delivered a massive punch to Xyron’s face.

CRACK.

Xyron flew off the chair, hitting the floor hard.

Blood sprayed across the carpet.

“Talk,” the Chairman demanded.

Yujo watched from the corner, a sadistic smile playing on his lips.

But deep within the shadow world, Ryan was also smiling.

He watched the scene through Xyron’s eyes, seemingly enjoying the suffering of his “little brother.” Xyron tried to use the wall to pull himself up.

“Check my rank…

check my soul…

I’m telling you, it’s the monster…

his name is—” Before he could finish, the Chairman buried his fist into Xyron’s stomach.

He followed it with five rapid, brutal punches to Xyron’s face.

Each strike sounded like a hammer hitting meat.

Xyron collapsed, his body shaking.

He leaned over and vomited a thick mixture of bile and blood onto the Chairman’s expensive shoes.

His vision was fading to black, the pain becoming a dull, distant hum.

Editor’s Comment: The brutality of the Association is on full display.

Chairman Lee, an S-Rank powerhouse, is personally breaking Xyron to find the truth.

Xyron is caught between a lie and a truth that no one believes.

But the most chilling part isn’t the physical torture—it’s the fact that Ryan is smiling while his brother bleeds.

Is Ryan waiting for Xyron’s spirit to break completely so he can take over forever?
