Nathan relaxed his hold on Mekhis collar, grabbed a damp tissue, and cleaned his hands.
Its not your call. Taking a life is a grave offense. Even if you dont admit it, Ill uncover the truth. If youre truly guilty, Ill ensure that you endure severe torture before facing a firing squad.
Mekhis smile slowly faded. Youre as ruthless as ever. Despite my years of service to you and the assistance Ive provided, you wont show an ounce of compassion.
Youre so unrepentant! Nathan sneered and said, How many times have you plotted to seize my power and take my position over the years? If you had the capability, Id willingly hand it to you. But youre nothing but a failure. Ive disciplined you but never abandoned you. But, your greed knows no bounds, and youve brought this upon yourself.
With a wave of his hand, soldiers outside the door instantly brought in a bucket of water.
Inside the bucket were five soaked vines, smooth and saturated with water. It was clear they had been readied for Mekhi.

Ill settle our scores one by one. You beat Kyson with vines until two got broken because he stole the key to the top floor. Now, he wants me to give you a taste of your own medicine. Perhaps we can begin there.
Two more soldiers in uniform entered and quickly bound Mekhis hands with a rope. They suspended him by a hook from above and his feet barely grazed the floor.
The soldier beside Mekhi took up a vine and lashed it on him with all his might.
Swish.
The sound of the vine striking Mekhis body was sharp and chilling.
He clenched his teeth and endured the pain silently.
Nathans gaze remained cold.
In the interrogation room, the sound of whips echoed incessantly, but Mekhi burst into laughter.

Nathan, Kyson isnt as straightforward as he may appear. Hes caused you significant harm in the past. While he helped you this time, do you have an idea what he might do next time?
Nathan listened in silence, his face devoid of emotion. Then, he turned and left.
Now that Im in custody, someone must step into my shoes and lead the Shaw family. Please, dont help him. Power is like an addictive drug. Once you taste it, youre hooked. Kyson might repeat the very same errors I made. We shall see how it plays out. Im not a good person and neither is Kyson. Should you help him in taking over the Shaw family, you will come to rue that decision.
Mekhis laughter continued to echo until Nathan left the interrogation room.
He repeatedly accused Kyson, trying to get him into trouble.
Once the heavy iron door was shut, his unsettling laughter faded away.
Nathan strolled down the interrogation room corridor and looked straight ahead.
As he approached the cell where Kyson was detained, he halted and gazed at the door multiple times. Instead of opening it, he left without a word.
Investigating Kaitlins death proved to be a challenging task.
Even though all those glass tubes buried in the Shaw familys backyard had been unearthed, Nathan couldnt find the poison that had claimed her life. And Mekhi didnt look like he would confess.
