Chapter 552 The Voice of the Devil
"W–wait!" Roberto's face turned white as paper as soon as Song Yu Han uttered those words.
He had already expected that Song Yu Han wouldn't show him mercy upon capturing him. However, he didn't expect that the man would use his own family as a bargaining chip to make him speak.
After all, in the Underworld, rumors had already spread that even though Song Yu Han was a man to be feared, he wouldn't resort to underhanded and cruel methods, such as using the loved ones of his family to deal with them.
But it turns out those rumors were untrue!
Why else would this devil of a man use his family against him?!
No, he's not human anymore. He's the real devil!
"Please, not my family. They have nothing to do with this."
"And have you ever asked Don Alejandro and the others who died that day whether they had done anything wrong with you?" Song Yu Han scoffed. "What about the woman you chased after? Has she ever done anything to you?"
Roberto shook his head vigorously at his questions. For an ordinary gangster like him, there was no way he could have been involved with these people, much less know them personally!
There was no grudge between him and the others they killed that day.
"It was an order. We can't disobey it."
Song Yu Han replied, "And I'm not asking you to disobey that order. Just tell me everything you know."
Roberto bit his lips and lowered his head. He obviously didn't want to say anything. He was scared that his family would bear the brunt of his actions, but this is the work and world he entered. Sooner or later, his enemies will come after his family, whether he likes it or not.
Yet, despite knowing this, he couldn't help hoping that there would be a miracle where he could go home safely and take his family far away.

"Sir, I think he's not going to speak. Let us handle this." Andrew took a step forward and suggested.
Song Yu Han glanced down at Roberto and didn't say a word or even reply to Andrew. He was like a statue that didn't speak or move.
But to Andrew and the others there who had been with Song Yu Han since the organization was created, they knew that Song Yu Han's patience was running thin. Any moment now, he might blow up, and Roberto won't even have the time to regret his actions when he dies.
They already expected Song Yu Han to act. So some men lowered their heads, avoiding the gruesome scene that would unfold in front of them.
However, what they got was not the scene everyone had already anticipated seeing.
Rather, what they received was more silence. It was the kind of silence where you could even hear the sound of a pin dropping to the ground.
"I'll tell you everything, but you must promise me you won't bring my family into this matter and send them away." Roberto's shoulder slumped down in defeat.
***
Somewhere in Ren Country.
"How is she?"
"The bullet missed her liver, so it won't be life-threatening anymore. However, because she received a few more blows after getting shot, her body will experience a lot of pain."
"When will she wake up then?"
"It's been almost a day since I patched her up and gave her a high dose of anesthesia. It should take a few more hours for her to wake up."
"Alright, you can go."
The sound of footsteps echoed inside the room, followed by a prolonged silence. Alina, who woke up from the voices speaking somewhere close to her, scrunched her eyebrows together.
Her body was numb and weak. It felt like her limbs were not her own when she tried to move them.
"That's strange."
The voice of a male spoke again.
"Dr. Grey certainly said you'd be awake after a few hours."
Alina furrowed her brows even tighter and tried to open her eyes.
"But you're awake now."
Yet, no matter how much she wanted to see the person who was speaking, her eyes were tight shut.
But even with her eyes closed, that voice was something she might never forget in this life.
The voice of the Devil.
What happened? Why is he here?
No. What happened to her?
Alina didn't understand why her body refused to move as she wanted. Did they drug her up so she wouldn't be able to escape again? A possible answer to her question is that, since her attempt to escape failed, they will absolutely not take the chance and let her get in their way again.
And with a wound on her stomach and a few skin injuries around her body, Alina was certain she'd be on her way to the afterlife.
Then why was she still alive?
And most importantly, why did she have to wake up to the voice of this man?
"The anesthesia still must be in your system," the man said, not knowing her thoughts. He continued, "It's too bad we didn't get to meet each other properly. But I'll come and visit you again when you're fully awake."
On the bed, the frown on her face went deeper, as if she wanted to tell him to go away and never come back again.
Unfortunately, the man only found her expression interesting to look at.
The way her brows moved was also adorable.
Alina didn't know what the man was thinking inside his head and held her breath when she felt her eyebrow being touched by the man. After going to so much trouble fixing the hole in her stomach, did he regret saving her and want to kill her now?
The touch continued to linger from her eyebrow to her cheek.
Then it moved past her chin before it suddenly stopped around her neck.
She was sure that if he put enough strength in his hand and strangled her, it wouldn't be long before she lost her breath.
But the hand dipped lower until it was right above her left chest, where her heart was located.
Then he squeezed.
Hard.
"Ngh?!" This man... is he out of his mind?!!
