Torture

NOTICE!!!! -> This chapter may be a little unpleasant for some people, it involves physical and psychological torture, I tried to make it as mild as possible, but this part was necessary

"Slowly, Kayden," Ryan supported Kayden as he tried to get up from the hotel bed. "You exhausted yourself too much," a lecturing tone was felt by Kayden.

"Relax, Ryan, I'll be back to normal in a bit." It would probably take a week again or even longer, because this time he went a little further than he should have, but the boy forgave himself for that mistake. It was too exciting a battle for him not to give 100% of himself.

"I ordered food for you," Ryan pointed to the table with a nice plate of fruit and bread. "The last fights will be in four hours, there's time for you to eat and we can go watch the final." Kayden readily agreed this would be a good time to gain experience.

OCD! OCD!

Several knocks on the door were heard by the two, Ryan didn't remember anyone who was going to come visit them now, and Kayden's team stayed behind after learning that the boy's life was not at risk.

"It must be the hotel staff, I'm going to go and see", Ryan got up and went towards the door, as soon as he opened it he was in for a big surprise.

"Hello", the red-haired nobleman from a few previous nights was standing in front of the door, next to him was a man in a suit wearing a black mask leaving only his eyes visible.

"What do you want?" Ryan didn't have any good feelings towards this noble and didn't show any friendly attitude. The response he received was a laugh and then the wizard simply froze Ryan with his mana.

"Hello, monster of the north," Kayden turned around in surprise upon hearing the strange voice and found himself facing the two intruders and Ryan behind in the air. The boy didn't even think twice before jumping to the hotel phone.

Quickly dialing the emergency number, he turned to the two and received a cynical smile from the boy.

"You think I didn't think of that, idiot?" At that moment Kayden was immobilized by an invisible gel around him, no matter how much he tried to escape, nothing happened. The nobleman sat on a kitchen chair and stretched.

"What do you want? We have no money or anything valuable," Kayden said with a neutral tone.

"My name is KevinAshford, the heir of a duke and…", his tone began to get angry, "and I didn't make it into the top 25, but a disgusting commoner did, how ridiculous isn't it?"

Kayden didn't like the boy's tone, he seemed exactly like the nobles in the novels of his past life, arrogant and a little crazy.

"And not only that, but he was the commoner friend of the guy who humiliated me", he started laughing to himself, "so I decided to take my anger out on you". This time his tone was serious and Kayden understood that he was screwed.

"Marco", with the young man's command, the masked man took two black balls from his pocket. "Each of you will take one of them, one pellet is poison that will burn all the veins in your body for the next few days and the other is just rice dough."

'Shit', Kayden didn't know what to do, his body didn't even respond to his movements, and his mana sense was at its lowest. At that moment Ryan broke free of the wizard's spell and ran against him without thinking twice.

Crack!

Ryan's nose was crushed in the wizard's hand before he could even think of anything.

"You were released, you worm, do you think you could escape alone?" the nobleman said as he kicked Ryan in the face, causing even more blood to come out. "Heal him," with his order, the masked wizard punched Ryan in the face again.

" Oops ", pretending to have made a mistake, the wizard apologized and healed the boy on the ground. "Behave now, okay?" he said as he broke Ryan's finger with a crazy laugh.

"Already good", the nobleman ordered him to stop, not because of mercy but because he didn't want Ryan to break before the show he prepared. "Choose a ball, commoner."

The noble threw them both to the ground facing a completely knocked-out Ryan on the ground. During this entire moment, Kayden was a sea of emotions inside, and the worst thing was that he couldn't do anything.

He seemed to be reliving his previous life when he lost Nicolas without being able to do anything but watch. When Ryan recovered, he refused to eat the pellet, and another round of beating and healing was done.

"Let me eat", Kayden said and received a maddened look from the masked man.

"Who allowed you to speak?" The beating was now over to Kayden and he didn't even feel any real pain. His resistance to pain was ridiculously high, but he still pretended to be in great pain so that the two of them would get it over with.

After a few minutes, the nobleman ordered Kayden to choose, and the boy had already accepted reality and simply ate either of the two. At this moment, Kayden did not have any turbulent feelings within him.

It was not time to be carried away by emotions, he had to be cold and look for the best chance of survival, because in the future he could take revenge, but for that, he had to be alive.

"It looks like you got lucky," the nobleman said after a few seconds without Kayden expressing any reaction. "Now it's your turn", and at the same time, he turned to Ryan, this time he didn't wait for the boy's refusal and just ordered the wizard to force the ball down the boy's throat.

Kayden saw Ryan fall to the ground right after swallowing the ball, the boy started screaming nonstop and all the veins in his body started to stand out, the problem was that they were red, as if they were on fire.

'Shit, shit, shit, think Kayden, think', the boy was free, but still stuck in reality, there was nothing he could do. The minutes began to pass and Ryan continued to scream louder and louder.

It felt like a very strong pain. Finally, Kayden couldn't take it anymore and attacked the nobleman, he simply lost control over himself, before he could even take a step, his face was punched by the wizard.

What followed was a beating sequence and when Kayden regained consciousness, Ryan was still on the floor twitching, the nobleman was sitting in the chair playing on his cell phone, completely uninterested in what was happening.

This torture lasted for the next two hours, at least that was how long the nobleman told Kayden. Every five minutes, the wizard would come and beat him and remind him to watch Ryan's torture.

Kayden was in a vegetable state, his mind was simply blank, he couldn't deal with the situation and there was nothing he could do.

"Hey Kevin, I think this one is about to die", the wizard commented casually to the nobleman. His speech finally brought Kayden out of his mental seclusion.
