The Crown in the Glass Castle 4

While Ken alone finding the Athenaeum himself, meanwhile Brittonia are desperate to find the Platinum Sceptre and only one who have the information is Maxim, the Capricorn Union's Second in Command after their leader Scarecrow's death, he was captured and thoroughly interrogated.

After being recovered Harasaki waste no time extract the data from Maxim.

"Is Major Harasaki is on the process extracting the information?"

"Yes Lieutenant, please come on in."

The Ice Queen Miyako Fukumori was supposed to know the result of Maxim's confession, came and talk with the Guard who let her pass the metal door into the chamber.

"What are you doing in here?"

Harasaki questioned, once he saw Miyako walking towards him in a filthy dark interrogation chamber.

"I was here to see how you can extract any confession by using enhanced techniques?"

Miyako replied gaze at Maxim's beat up body, tied up both hands across and Harasaki's fellow interrogator standing besides, wearing a plain black mask.

"Well here it goes; I haven't asked any questions until now."

Harasaki stood up, excitingly start to interrogate Maxim,

"Jeremiah Cairo. Look at me."

Harasaki said Maxim by his real name, but him wasn't responding, still head down, staring at the floor and now Harasaki growled in an aggressive tone,

"LOOK AT ME JEREMIAH! I own your ass; you belong to me, better start talking."

Still Jeremiah keeps quiet haven't talk while the other Brittonian interrogators keeps on slapping him wildly in the head, shaking him left and right, humiliating him.

With Jeremiah still not willing to talk, Harasaki sighed deeply, asked Miyako as he getting tired of this interrogation.

"You know, it might take a while. Why don't we take a coffee break?"

"No, I need to know where he hides that Sceptre, Valkyrie is already assigned claiming it."

Miyako directly denied the offer, tells Harasaki to hurry up.

"Alright Miyako, still you need a personal life. Workaholic tendency is harmful for your health."

"Can we start please?"

Miyako slightly annoyed at Harasaki's useless suggestion.

Harasaki getting back to his work and question Jeremiah again, expect much darker and threatening in tone,

"Alright Jeremy-boy, I need you to understand how bad your situation is, huh? Aren't you the one who killed all those MRC scientists in the Yellow Zone, Sector XII? See we know everything about you, like you boss life is no fair so you better talk to me, or..."

"Or what?"

Jeremiah snarled, raise his head, glaring Harasaki, and Harasaki see his brutally beaten up face, for the Mutant Restrainer his Healing Factor also disable.

"Why would I tell you? You people are going to kill me either way, or throw me into the East-Red Zone like the Scavenger! You nothing more than a cutthroat, an Imperial dog obeying a tyrant!"

"You dare questioning me!"

"Mmmmm...…."

Harasaki growled, thrust his right hand into Jeremiah's mouth, forcefully silent him, getting pissed and signal his men to prepare him before he asked him politely one last time though Harasaki's savage, murderous eyes are clear on display,

"I want to know where you hidden the Platinum Sceptre? If you tell me the truth, I will give you. I will give you food, fresh drinking water and... A good bed where you can sleep."

"Fuck you!"

"Alright let's try that again in a harsher way."

The two men grabbed Jeremiah from behind, forcing him to lay down while Harasaki picked a wet piece of cloth and jumped right at him jammed the cloth right into his face.

"Mmmm!!!"

Jeremiah growled in muffled voice, quivering nonstop

"Give me that jar Miyako!"

"Huh?"

"The water mug from the barrel."

While chocking Jeremiah, Harasaki asked Miyako to handle the water jar beside him.

"Come on, hurry up..."

Miyako without complaints handle the water filled mug to Harasaki.

"Tell me where the Sceptre is? If you lied to me, I going to hurt you, I hurt you more than you can imagine."

Harasaki poured all the cold water into Jeremiah's face.

"Mmmmmm...mmmmm!!!"

The cloth on the top of Jeremiah's face fully absorbed the water, drowning him whole, meanwhile one Harasaki's men ruthlessly pulling Jeremiah's toe nail simultaneously.

It's very common for Brittonia to brutally torture anyone they deemed as a threat and need to be neutralise by any means necessary. Thousands of suspects, Mutants, citizens and treasonous soldiers had been tortured in the same way, they got tortured if they were alive, they will be sent to the Raizen Supermaxim and that prison is a different kind of hell all together.

"Give the location now. Or I can get the that information eventually, it's matter of time."

After the excruciating long torture, Harasaki pulled the cloth out Jeremiah's face,

"Uhh...ugh..."

Jeremiah's coughed out the poured water, looking terribly miserable is the best description, teeth broken, three or his nails had pulled, nose bleeding, one eye turned purple.

"Kaseko and Tanya died for us, so we can live, they are the real heroes! He is the hero, sacrifice himself for his love ones. I will never hand the Sceptre to you Imperial scoundrels!"

"Fuck! What kind of fucking moral is this? That's fucking stupid."

Harasaki stepped back from Jeremiah, walking around thinking how to break him quickly. He fully knows that Jeremiah will break, it is a matter of time, everyone that Harasaki interrogate/Torture will squeeze out eventually.

"May I try him?"

Miyako suddenly asked Harasaki, for the whole interrogation, she stayed quiet, crossing her arms, observing them and now she is ready to interrogate Jeremiah herself.

"Sure."

Harasaki agreed, let Miyako in, although he's fully aware the Ice Queen Miyako Fukumori's abilities more than anyone but he doubts she can get Jeremiah to talk.

Miyako slowly stepped in, gazing Jeremiah with her cold yet sexy, alluring eyes then pulled her phone and read something to him,

"Jeremiah Cairo born in 2028, Morocco, U.R.A (United Republic of Africa). That would explain the Olive skin and you are quite fluent in our language. I know all about you, Jeremiah before you brought here, how's your family?"

Within minutes after Miyako's question, Jeremiah attentively raise his head up, gazing thoroughly Miyako's stony face in worry.

"Is that your family? Your wife, your mother, and your two years old daughter."

Miyako showed some pictures of his family in her phone, slides thoroughly after Jeremiah saw them.

"Brittonia is good at tracking people especially in foreign soil, there is an Agent of ours waiting outside from your family's house and after I gave the order they will kill everyone in there unless you tell us where are you hidden the Sceptre, I know Scarecrow gave to you after you all failed to make negotiate with the RMS."

Miyako Fukumori without any question is cold, heartless soldier, purely professional, nevertheless those quality is necessary to high up the ranks in The Imperium of Brittonia Empire, specially if you are a woman. Within any minute she utterly broke Jeremiah, clouding his decision, evoking his fear since he loved his family extremely and doesn't wanted any of them to get hurt.

Without using any violence or abuse though he wasn't confessing anything, sobbing, still hoping she was bluffing.

"Fine if you still don't want to talk then,"

Miyako straighten up called the phone, while Jeremiah watching her with bugging eyes.

"Hello, kill Jeremiah Cairo's family! They are in the 56th Cross Avenue pink-colour apartment room no. 32."

"NOOO, Ahhh, noo!! Don't hurt them I will tell you; I will tell you! call off the attack, please! I will tell you where the Sceptre is, please don't hurt my family."

This was the final straw, Jeremiah is descending into emotional breakdown, begging Miyako to call off the attack, utterly terrified when she revealed the exact address of his family is living in Morocco.

"Show me the location, is it in TYZ?"

"Y... Yes."

"Show me where,"

Miyako handed the tablet device for Jeremiah to pointed it out.

He did eventually give up the location where he hidden the Sceptre and it took 30 seconds for Miyako to extract the confession.

"Here you Mister Harasaki, send it to the Overlord so it assigned to Valkyrie."

Miyako handed the tablet to Harasaki and stepped out from the room without saying,

"I been outside."

Harasaki just out of words, during whole uncomfortable interrogation Miyako didn't shiver for a single moment moreover despite wasn't her job she takes the interrogation herself and complete it within seconds, she's as gorgeous as she is menacing. Miyako's princess like beauty often misunderstood her cold personality but the people call her Ice Queen for a reason.
