chapter 33 Black Dragon sheds tears

Ellison Jiang's roar was like muffled thunder, echoing in Cara Xiao's ears, leaving her ears ringing and her mind in turmoil. At this moment, all she could do was cry, not knowing how to respond. After a while, she came to her senses and said with a look of despair, "I don't know, I really don't know, the painting... the painting was taken away by Olav Xiao, and it seems to have been given to some big shot in Beijing." "Shh!" Ellison Jiang picked up the switchblade on the bed, slashed it at Cara Xiao's wrist, then raised the knife and dropped it. Blood splattered. Cara Xiao's pain made her wide-eyed and unable to scream. Her expression twisted, her face contorted in a terrifying manner, and her body trembled. Ellison Jiang casually took out a few silver needles and inserted them into Cara Xiao's body. Cara Xiao couldn't die without extracting about the location of the Dwelling in the Mount Huayue. When the silver needle was inserted, Cara Xiao's palm did not bleed much after it was cut off. However, she still felt excruciating pain. It was a kind of suffering that an ordinary person couldn't endure. At this moment, she wished for death, but as Ellison Jiang had said, she was in a state where she couldn't choose between survival and death. Ellison Jiang sat down again, looked at Cara Xiao who was like a bereaved dog, and said with an indifferent expression, "The pain you have suffered is far from making up for the sins you have caused. I ask you again, where is the Dwelling in the Mount Huayue?" "I... I... don't know." Cara Xiao's teeth were trembling and she couldn't even speak. Hearing this, Ellison Jiang frowned. Normally, someone subjected to such torture would say anything to survive, but now, Cara Xiao claimed not to know. Could it be that she truly had no knowledge of the painting's whereabouts? The painting Dwelling in the Mount Huayue was a cherished family heirloom passed down for generations. Ellison Jiang's grandfather had made it clear before his death: the Jiang family could fall, but the painting must not be lost. "I beg... beg you, spare me. I... I really don't know," Cara Xiao's body trembled, and her words were barely intelligible. At this moment, she felt her mind growing dizzy, but she couldn't completely lose consciousness. Her face and hand were both in intense pain, and it was killing her. Ellison Jiang was a devil, she was scared, completely scared, and she kept begging for mercy. "For today, I'll spare your life, but I'll give you some time to find the painting Dwelling in the Mount Huayue. I will come back, and if you still don't know its whereabouts, I will show you what true despair is." He stood up and walked toward the bed, pulling up Hayden Zhang, who was cowering in a corner, his body trembling. Hayden Zhang was frightened, and a puddle of urine on the floor showed just how scared he was. He stammered, "It's not... not my business. I... I don't know anything." "Today's events, consider them as if you never saw anything. If there are any consequences outside, you should know what to expect," Ellison Jiang said with a cold expression. He had no personal grudge against Hayden Zhang and didn't want to harm him. Ellison Jiang once again looked at Cara Xiao, lying on the bed like a defeated dog. "You must be curious about my current identity. There's no harm in telling you. I am the Black Dragon of the Southern Wilderness, the commander of a million Black Dragon Army. Don't mention Olav Xiao; even the Carefree King would fall before me if I wanted. " With these words, Ellison Jiang left, leaving behind his identity as a form of pressure on Cara Xiao, urging her to quickly discover the whereabouts of the painting Dwelling in the Mount Huayue. After he left, the room was filled only with the sound of Cara Xiao's crying. Her body continued to tremble. "The Black... Black Dragon, the Commander of the Southern Wilderness Black Dragon Army, one of the Five Great Generals?" she whispered in disbelief. She couldn't believe how the young man from the Jiang family ten years ago had become the infamous Southern Wilderness Black Dragon. Although she was not in the army, her fourth brother was in the army, and his military rank was not low. She heard Olav Xiao talk about the Five Great Commanders. The Black Dragon was appointed commander for the shortest time, it was one year ago. However, he was the most terrifying one among the Five Great Commanders. His strength was beyond imagination. And he was also a Divine Healer. Thinking of Ellison Jiang's identity, her body couldn't help but tremble. She never thought that Ellison Jiang's current identity was so terrifying. No wonder he had killed Olav Xiao, and even the Carefree King didn't investigate further. The culprit behind Olav Xiao's murder was the feared Black Dragon. Hayden Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ellison Jiang leaving. Now his whole body was wet with sweat. When he glanced at Cara Xiao who was lying on the bed with scars on her face and her palm cut off, he trembled with fear and turned around to run away. "Don't, don't go, save, save me, take me to the hospital, I, I have money, I'll give you money." Cara Xiao wanted to die just now. Now that Ellison Jiang is gone, she doesn't want to die, she wants to live. Hearing the money, Hayden Zhang stopped. He was pondering. Ellison Jiang said before leaving that he would not let Cara Xiao die. If he left and Cara Xiao died and Ellison Jiang blamed him, he would not be able to escape. Moreover, he would still get money if he saved Cara Xiao. Thinking of this, he immediately took out his phone and dialed the 120 emergency center. After Ellison Jiang left Cara Xiao villa, he put on the mask again. He visited the Wang family, the Zhao family, and the Zhou family. It was just at the break of dawn. In Jiang Zhong, at the Jiang family cemetery, three freshly severed heads lay in front of Levi Jiang's tombstone. Ellison Jiang knelt before the grave. "Grandfather, Midas Xiao is dead, Jake Wang is dead, Carter Zhao is dead, Jacob Zhou is dead. The masterminds behind the Jiang family's destruction have all perished. Grandfather, I, your grandson, have not yet managed to locate the painting Dwelling in the Mount Huayue." "But please, rest assured, Grandfather. I will find the painting." "Although the masterminds behind the four major families are dead, I will never let the four major families off so easily. I want them to know what despair truly is. I want to torment them to the point where they can't even choose between life and death, as a sacrifice to the spirits of the Jiang family." Ellison Jiang knelt before Levi Jiang's grave, tears streaming down his face. He, the mighty Black Dragon of the Southern Wilderness, had never shed a tear even when facing thousands of enemies, for men aren't supposed to cry. But in this moment, he wept, becoming a man of tears. Though he now held the prestigious title of the Southern Wilderness Black Dragon, basking in glory, nobody knew the burden he had carried for the past ten years. A decade ago, he had been consumed by flames, witnessing his loved ones cry out in agony amid the inferno, their faces soaked with tears, filled with despair and helplessness. That scene haunted him for the rest of his life. In his moment of despair, a girl with a ponytail had rushed in, disregarding everything, and untied the ropes that bound him. She had pulled him out of the raging fire. As they escaped the flames, he had seen that the girl was also on fire, but he had focused solely on himself and jumped into the river, abandoning her. For ten years, he had been plagued by guilt and self-blame. He carried the weight of vengeance, rising from a mere soldier to become the Black Dragon, all for this day—repayment and revenge. Now, his enemies were dead, but the anger within him remained unquenched. The four major families had committed a grave mistake and must face the consequences. Moreover, from what he had gathered from Cara Xiao, he could deduce that the mastermind behind the Jiang family's destruction hailed from Beijing. This person's motive was the Dwelling in the Mount Huayue. He clenched his fists. "Grandfather, no matter who has taken the Dwelling in the Mount Huayue, someday, I will carry his head as an offering to you." The grievances and torment of the past decade were distilled into tears flowing down his cheeks. ..
