Chapter 1554 - 1553: Speak!

Splosh!

As Hussein's head submerged into the icy water, a faint sound was heard. He had not had the chance to hold his breath, and in an instant, the chilling water invaded his mouth and nose.

Gurgle!

The cold water surged into Hussein's nose and mouth, causing him to choke violently. The icy flow poured down his throat and into his trachea, exacerbating the pain of his already frail body.

His body struggled fiercely, as if desperately trying to catch a breath!

However, his head was now submerged in the cold water, held down by two members of the Assassin Alliance, making it impossible for him to escape the icy barrel despite his desperate thrashing!

The cold water relentlessly poured into Hussein's seven orifices, making breathing difficult and causing his chest to rise and fall painfully.

The icy water made his body functions falter; bubbles constantly streamed from his nose, making him wish for death rather than enduring this agony.

Gradually, Hussein's body ceased its struggle, succumbing to a state of despair.

"Pull him out!"

Watching Hussein's struggle diminish, Lu Yu spoke calmly, his voice icy and filled with an ominous undertone.

Splosh!

At Lu Yu's command, the two nearby members of the Assassin Alliance exerted their strength, yanking Hussein from the water!

Cough, cough, cough!

Once pulled from the water, Hussein coughed violently, lying pathetically on the ground like a dead dog, trembling uncontrollably.

"Doesn't the world feel much clearer now?"

Watching Hussein cough on the ground, Lu Yu spoke coldly, his gaze frigid and filled with a murderous intent.

"Cough... Cough... You're a devil!"

Hussein's hair dripped with water, his face turned a ghastly pale. In this state of suffocation and cold, he was utterly miserable, contrasting sharply with his previous refined appearance.

"I pulled you out for answers, not idle chatter!"

Lu Yu stepped forward, his foot pressing coldly onto Hussein's pale face. "Tell me honestly now: what other dirty dealings does Umarov have besides his connection with the Shadow Luo Organization?!"

His tone was deep and disdainful, as if gazing at an ant, devoid of any emotion.

"If you dare, kill me. I will never betray my boss!"

Pinned under Lu Yu's foot, Hussein replied defiantly. His voice quivered with fear and dread.

Such emotion rendered his defiant words weak and pointless.

"Very well!"

Lu Yu looked down at Hussein, speaking indifferently: "Since you're so eager for death, I'll just put you on the path!"

With that, Lu Yu raised his hand!

Splosh!

At Lu Yu's gesture, a nearby member of the Assassin Alliance brought out a large wooden barrel filled with ice water emitting chilling steam, as if boiling water.

"This barrel contains a specific proportion of liquid nitrogen, just the right temperature."

Lu Yu spoke, eyeing the barrel: "Put you in there, and I bet you'll feel utterly thrilled!"

His words were eerie, and he turned to the members of the Assassin Alliance, ordering, "Prepare Mr. Hussein for the barrel!"

"Yes!"

The two members responded, grabbing Hussein and dragging him towards the barrel.

"What are you doing!?"

As he was seized by the two men, Hussein struggled violently, his face filled with panic, his words wrapped in fear.

Faced with the misty barrel, Hussein's face showed nothing but terror!

"What am I doing?"

Lu Yu sneered: "I'm naturally sending Mr. Hussein on his way!"

His gaze sharpened, commanding, "What are you waiting for!? Send Mr. Hussein on his way!"

"Yes!"

At Lu Yu's words, the Assassin Alliance members said, grabbing Hussein without hesitation and tossing him into the large barrel!

Ah!

Entering the barrel, Hussein let out a heart-wrenching scream, feeling an icy chill invade his body.

This chill was unlike winter's cold wind, it was far more piercing. As soon as he entered, Hussein felt an indescribable stinging pain all over!

His body began to struggle fiercely, but, as before, he was held firmly by the Assassin Alliance members, unable to break free.

In an instant, an intensely cold sensation overwhelmed Hussein, paralyzing his limbs, his skin paling rapidly to a ghastly gray!

"No... no!"

Immersed in such frigid water, Hussein raised his head periodically, screaming hoarsely due to the cold: "I'll talk, I'll tell everything!"

"Oh?"

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at Hussein, speaking lazily: "Changed your mind?!"

"Yes!"

Hussein shouted desperately: "Spare me, I'll tell you everything, everything I know, if you let me go!"

His voice was hysterical, filled with despair!
