Chapter 1479 To Kill by Mistake, Rather Than To Lose
Selena had just left when Emilio tossed a piece of candy in front of Mario.
"Hey, dummy, that's for you."
Mario couldn't tell if Emilio was being nice or just messing with him; he was really that clueless.
He picked up the candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.
Emilio sat on a rock and asked, "Is it sweet?"
"Yeah, it's sweet."
"Really?"
Emilio had never tasted anything like it. For someone like him, the taste of blood was familiar, while sweetness was a luxury.
His mentors had told him that such sticky sweetness could temporarily numb one's nerves and sap their will to fight.
When he was a kid, he had stolen a piece of candy once, during a particularly grueling training session when he caught a whiff of its scent.
He thought it could be a reward for his hard work, but before he could swallow it, he was whipped twice.
"Emilio, you disappoint me."
"Touch that stuff again, and I'll cut off one of your fingers."
Emilio was terrified; he couldn't recall how old he was at the time.
So in his memory, candy wasn't sweet—it tasted like two lashes of the whip.
It was bloody, painful, bitter.
Now, looking at the clueless Mario, he felt a twinge of jealousy.
Mario, who looked to be in his late twenties, could still show such an innocent smile.
Just one piece of candy, and he was satisfied.
What a waste of ten extra years of life.
Emilio lowered his lashes and pulled out his phone to contact his people.
"Capture her and find out where the jellyfish seal is. This charade needs to end. Also, stop K's men; Mystic Prison isn't a place for him to run wild."
"Mr. Blair, K sent word that he wants to have a serious talk with you."
K now knew that Selena and Raymond were both in Mystic Prison. If he could collaborate with Emilio, killing those two would be easy.
But Emilio had always been at odds with him within the organization; their relationship was far from good.
Moreover, Emilio rarely visited the organization and seldom showed his true face. Since taking over Mystic Prison and the leadership position, he had continued the previous leader's ruthless style.
Anything he disapproved of had no right to exist.
"I have nothing to discuss with him."
"K said he doesn't care about BK. He hopes you'll reconsider."
Emilio smirked. Not care about BK? BK's influence was significant; there was no way K didn't care.
K was cunning.
Emilio's brows furrowed in irritation. "I don't want to meet him, nor will I make any deals with him."
"But K's men have infiltrated Mystic Prison, and their numbers are growing. We've recently discovered about ten of them, and who knows how many are hiding."
"Ignore him. He won't cause much trouble, maybe just blow up a few buildings."
Emilio hung up the phone and saw Mario playing with mud again.
His malicious streak suddenly surfaced.
"Hey, dummy, your Selena is about to die."
He wasn't lying. After tonight, Selena would be dead.
Few could withstand such torture.
And since K was looking for Selena, she must be quite important to him.
He was always ready to do whatever it took to make K's plans fall apart.
As for Selena claiming to be Barbara's daughter...
Barbara had disappeared after leaving the organization years ago. With her skills, she would have found a place to hide long ago.
If she wasn't dead, she wouldn't let her daughter get involved with BK.
If she was dead, then the jellyfish seal had accidentally ended up in Selena's hands.
Emilio didn't want to investigate Selena's identity. He'd rather kill her by mistake than let her go.
