Chapter 253: Chapter 247 – The Terrifying Power of Information

Translator: 549690339

Unforeseen circumstances led to Finn Lewis capturing a key figure from an assassination squad, and he is currently interrogating them.

The trio remained silent, just sitting quietly there. Finn started to get a headache, wondering how to get the information out of them. After contemplation, he then walked out and, pulling out his phone, asked Olivia Thatcher, “Ask Zero, how many points will it cost to get the identities of these people?”

Finn decided against further indirect inquiry. He’d rather let Zero use points for the search. “1000.” Olivia quickly responded. “Pay it.” Finn readily agreed. Now was not the time to be stingy with points. Even though he had already spent quite a bit on gathering intelligence, information – that was the most important thing.

“The information has been collected, would you like me to send it to your phone?” Olivia quickly asked.

Finn nodded, and soon several files arrived on his phone. He opened them and his eyebrows furrowed. As he suspected, this was indeed an organization connected to other notable ones. Multiple terrorist attacks within his city were caused by these individuals. But this time they got hold of a large number of heavy weapons – someone high up must have helped.

What surprised Finn was that these people had no connection to Bryski Miller or Yves King. These people had appeared even before Yves King did.

After reviewing the information, Finn sat lost in thought. Zero might have demanded high points, but the answers he got in return were fulfilling and very detailed. 1000 points could certainly buy many things, but this intelligence, costing 1000 points, was not expensive at all.

But there was a problem. Dealing with an organization this big, Finn could potentially wipe out all of them using Squad 1 and 2. But the series of problems that would bring was not something he could handle – at least not the current Finn.

Finn didn’t know what Zero’s objective was in completing this mission, but destroying this organization was undoubtedly the best move. It’d certainly ensure completion of the mission. But to do that was beyond Finn’s capabilities, unless he whetherwas to exchange for several T800s and Tlooos, but that would reveal a lot of things.

After contemplating for a long time, an idea suddenly popped into Finn’s head. Thinking of it, he couldn’t help but ask Olivia, “How good are your hacking abilities? Can a computer expert trace you?”

“No, they wouldn’t be able to track us. The network I use to connect to the Earth’s network is done through other means. As for hacking abilities, very few computers can resist my hacking due to my computational power. Even large, supercomputers would only be a matter of time. Even Earth’s most advanced supercomputer could only resist for about 15 min at most,” Olivia confidently replied.

“Fine, I’ll come find you later.” Finn nodded, then walked back into the basement. Upon seeing Finn return, the trio fixed their gaze on him, but they remained silent.

“Though I don’t know why you joined this organization, you should know what work you are doing. Don’t you have any families?” Finn dragged over a chair and sat down in front of them, questioning.

“This has nothing to do with you, kill us if you want, but don’t expect to get any information from us,” the leader spoke, looking at Finn.

“You think I can’t find your families, huh?” Finn raised an eyebrow, calmly speaking.

Upon hearing Finn’s words, the trio trembled and simultaneously raised their heads to look at Finn. Although these people partook in such an attack, they were not trained soldiers, but merely brainwashed individuals who were unafraid to die. However, nobody was without weaknesses, including these people.

“Abdul, aren’t your family still in the Flame Nation? They are still living near Celeston City, right? You are really bold, and could still abandon your own family?” Finn raised an eyebrow, pointed at the man on the left, and stated.

They did not say anything, but Finn had accurately stated the name of one of them. Though Finn didn’t specifically mention where their families were, the information was already very clear – it was hardly different from telling them directly.

“Even if you know, so what? If there’s anything, blame us, it has nothing to do with them,” the leader man finally spoke up after a moment of silence.

“So you understand this too. Do you think the innocents that you’ve hurt, their pain was related to what you did? Or is it because you think any sacrifice is permissible for your nonsense beliefs, including your own families? As for whether it’s related to them, do you think I, who snatched you from the police, am a good person?”

“You!” The man seated on the left started to struggle, but a bodyguard immediately shoved a gun to his head.

“Well then, you’ve failed your mission. Are you going to talk, yes or no? If you do talk, unlike you, I won’t harm the innocent, and I won’t bother your families. But if you don’t, I can’t promise the same,” Finn said calmly.

“What do you want to know? We don’t know much. We might not know what you want,” after a moment’s hesitation, the leading man finally said.

“Just tell me what you know. Record what he says,” Finn pointed at a burly man standing beside and commanded.

“Yes.” Finn then listened as the man spoke, occasionally asking a few questions. They really didn’t know too much. An organization like this would never let an ordinary member gain access to many secret messages. Once they had said everything they knew,

Finn fell silent for a while, then gave a wave of his hand signalling the burly men to ‘dispose of’ these three. Since he had taken them, Finn was not going to return them to the police force, especially as they had seen his face. But, based on the information provided by Zero, these people had done a lot of bad things. Regardless, they deserved death which lightened Finn’s conscience quite a bit..
