TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

The crowd swallowed their own saliva when they heard the man's words on the podium. No one knew what kind of question he was going to ask, but everyone understood that they needed to answer without lying.

If the lie were discovered, that person would suffer a terrible consequence.

"That's my question: Who was the person who reported an intruder in my hiding place? To answer that question, you just need to raise your hand and walk forward to the podium." He narrowed his eyes and looked at the entire crowd to see who the people were who did this.

In the past hour, about eight reports of invaders entering the hiding place have been made, so he knows that more than one person would raise his hand.

About six people raised their hands. The six walked to the front and knelt before the man on the podium.

"I see… Who were the people that you reported? Could you point to them?"

A projection was made and several hundred images were shown. Each image was of a person from the group of Kings of the Iron Valley. But there were only men in the images, as women were considered objects and need not be in the photos.

The six men point to the people in the pictures.

"I see… I am happy about your cooperation. But I still haven't found the person I'm looking for. You six can go that way." He pointed to the vacant spot.

The six did not dare to speak out and could only pray that they would not be killed.

"I am happy with everyone's cooperation, but disappointed at the same time. It seems that some people still lied about reporting the invaders. If you lied in the answer to the previous question, I advise you to speak up, as your punishment will be milder. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe if I find you. "The man on the podium spoke in a cold, murderous way.

A frightening and wild aura was felt throughout the village. He had an aura skill to oppress and frighten his opponents.

"..." People in the crowd looked at each other because they didn't understand who would be stupid enough to continue lying that way.

"It seems those people know the danger they will face if they continue to lie to me. I am happy with that. Point to the person you reported?"

A person in the crowd had raised his arm and walked over to the dais. He pointed to one of the people in the photo.

"I see ... You can go that way with the others."

The man lacked the courage to speak up and just walked over to where the other six were.

"I'm really very sad about this situation because there are still people who haven't spoken out and are still lying to me. It seems like you really don't know how to appreciate someone's goodwill." He spoke in a discouraged tone. He made it look like he was already doing him a favor by not killing the people who were lying.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!" No one knew who the brave people were who had not yet manifested themselves, but only the man on the podium knew that only one person was missing.

"How some people did not take advantage of this golden opportunity that I gave. I will have to apologize for the next scenes that you will see." The man commented in a discouraged tone. He made it look like he was being very generous in giving people opportunities to redeem themselves, but as they didn't want to, he was going to show what was going to happen.

Those who know the man on the podium know that he is one of the cruelest and brutal people that exists in the group of Kings of the Iron Valley.

Although there was the word Kings, a plural word, in the group there was only one leader, a King.

"Guys, I want you to search every house, alley, and any place on this mountain. I want you to find the person who refused to speak up and bring him to me. As for you, you will stay here until this entire mountain is checked. Those who complain will be severely punished" He ordered.

"..." Nobody dared to complain or speak up. They understood that their leader was very angry and anything could result in death.

"Roger !!!!" A group of men in steel armor scream at the same time. They charge towards the houses.

crack… crack…

"Ahh !!!!!"

"What are you doing??!!!!"

…

Sounds of things breaking and women's screams echo through the village.

The soldiers were being violent and breaking everything they saw ahead of them in an attempt to find the person they were looking for.

Some wanted to rape women, but if they did it during the search, they would be punished with death because it was considered a distraction during a task designated by the leader.

It didn't take long for the person to be found.

"What are you doing???!!!!!" A hoarse but irritated and fearful voice echoed.

pahhh !!!! pahhh !!!! pahhh !!!!

Sounds of someone being attacked are heard shortly after the shout.

The soldiers dragged a person to the square.

poffff !!!!

An old man.

The old man was thrown on the floor like a piece of garbage, his thin and the almost dry body was covered in blood because he was beaten until he could take it no more by the soldiers.

Looking more closely at the old man, you can see that he was the person who denounced Liu Yang. But why didn't he go to the square when everyone was called?

"It looks like the liar has been found." The leader looked at the old man covered in blood lying on the floor with cold eyes.

"Leader, why am I being treated this way? Didn't I make the right report? I denounced an invader in hiding" The old man felt very wronged. He found an invader, but instead of the reward, he was being beaten.

"I see ... Do you know what your sin is?" The leader asked casually.

"Leader, I don't know my sin" The old man didn't know what was going on.

"What were you doing?" The leader asked casually, but his tone and aura were menacing

"Leader, I was asleep" The old man replied without hesitation. He didn't have the courage to lie.

Until a few minutes ago, he was sleeping soundly but was woken up by a soldier hitting him.

"This is a heavy crime. I did sound the alarm, but you still slept. It shows that you don't take my rules seriously."

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The old man was startled to hear those words.

If the bell had rung, he would have heard it.

Everyone in the village knows how serious an issue is when the bell is rung. Thus, no one dared to disobey the call.

"I… I… Leader, I don't know what happened. I was very sleepy… But if the bell had rung, I would have woken up" The old man tried to justify himself. He was desperate because he didn't want to die.

"I apologize for that, but you broke my rules and you need to pay for this offense." The leader looked at the old man coldly and snapped his fingers.

tap…

slash!!!

The sound of something being cut was heard.

"Ah ..." The old man tried to say something, but his head was already rolling on the floor.

His eyes were open and a confused face. He died without knowing how he was killed.
