Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 172

Seafarion calmly looked at him.

The gaze, so real and identical to Seafarion himself, made Orpheus feel a chill run down his spine.

“What do you mean by this?” He tried to stay calm, looking down on the interrogators. “Do you think this will pressure me into confessing? If you’re trying to fool me, at least make a bionic who looks more convincing. Why doesn’t Seafarion come to see me personally?”

Orpheus fired off a series of questions, growing more confident.

He thought, ‘Seafarion not appearing in person means something is definitely wrong with him. He is probably still out of control or has gone missing–maybe his Loss of Control Index has hit 100, and he’s died out there!

The interrogators didn’t respond to Orpheus’s questions and coldly asked, “Where did AeroMist come from?”

Orpheus scoffed, refusing to cooperate. He was already at the end of the line, with no way out. Even if he confessed, there would be no forgiveness. It was better to just make things difficult for them.

Maybe he’d even be able to wait for Edmund to take over the Empire and rescue him, an ally who hadn’t betrayed him.

Orpheus had made up his mind, but suddenly he heard Seafarion’s voice. “Speak.”

That one word carried an irresistible power.

In an instant, Orpheus’s pupils shrank, his body stiffened, and he uncontrollably spoke, “It was Edmund who gave it to me.”

“How do you communicate with Edmund?” Seafarion took over the questioning, continuing.

“Edmund sent someone to find me, and we passed messages through his subordinates.” Under Seafarion’s influence, Orpheus couldn’t help but tell everything he knew.

He revealed all the information he had, and even promptly identified the person responsible for delivering the messages.

That prisoner had received special training and remained calm when facing the interrogators, saying, “I don’t know anything.”

He refused to cooperate, so as not to betray his master.

But as soon as Seafarion spoke, he couldn’t resist the strange power. He answered everything without hesitation.
