HEROIC DEATH SYSTEM

I Only Need 72 Hours To Fall In Love With You (VI)

"Hero?" Gabriel said disdainfully. "If he had obediently stayed on Taima Planet, then none of this would have happened. Without him, you still would have been able to succeed. It's his own fault that he's now in such a condition. Why is he being treated as a hero by others?"

"Why?" Ravel gestured to Kahn and said, "You tell him."

Kahn coldly looked at Gabriel and started to explain, "Perhaps Young Master Cage's initial appearance and arrest were both blunders, but his performance afterwards was enough to be called as a hero. He paid the price for his own mistake, while he also strengthened our faith in the cause. Like you said, we most likely could have succeeded, even without him. However, his appearance shifted the enemy's attention and gave us more time to strike back, decreasing our casualties.

He paused before continuing, "Young Master Gabriel, if it were you, could you perform even better than him?"

"Why couldn't I?" Gabriel stuck out his chest, boasting, "I was always more outstanding than him, more hardworking than him, and more suitable for father's inheritance than him."

A thin layer of frost emerged in Ravel's eyes. When he thought back to how Cage had been insulted by such a superficial man, he found it difficult to endure.

Ravel coldly spoke, "Kahn, I'll leave it to you. Have him taste torture and see if he can truly perform as well as he said, even better than Cage."

After speaking, he directly turned and left the room.

"Sire Ravel, wait, I am General Utrecht's heir. For you to treat the son of a hero like this, are you not afraid of the public's anger?"

Kahn revealed an expression of pity for him. This guy didn't even know that, very soon, his position as heir wouldn't be assured. In fact, ever since General Utrecht sacrificed his life, his family's name remained, but in reality, it was as good as dead. What Ravel had retained was their family's official rank and achievements. If Cage were to pass away, then who would inherit the family name would depend entirely on who Ravel wants.

Gabriel was originally the best choice, but it was a pity that, by not being able to bear his anger for even a bit longer, he had courted disaster for himself.

Kahn got a needle from a royal guard and told Gabriel, "Cage had been injected with a tenfold sensitizer, but I will give you mercy and only give you half of that, so I will only use a dosage of fivefold."

Gabriel looked at the needle in Kahn's hand, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.

That night, a string of mournful screams sounded from within Ravel's guest room, and continued for a long time.

The next morning, Kahn arrived to report the situation.

"He only persevered for two hours." He started up the video, showcasing how Gabriel had started to beg for forgiveness at the torture's six-minute mark, tears and mucus streaming down his face. He cut a very sorry figure, but this kind of reaction wasn't strange. After all, five-times the pain wasn't something the average person could bear. Kahn had not even done it seriously, otherwise, Gabriel wouldn't have even lasted an hour.

"Just how did Cage do it?" With Gabriel as a foil, Kahn expressed his extreme shock at Cage's ability to survive ten-times the torture. That was not just physical torment, but it was a test of his will.

Ravel was entirely uninterested towards the torment Gabriel underwent. He turned his head to Kahn and told him, "I will stay overnight at the hospital today."

Kahn stared blankly for a moment, before quickly replying, "Tomorrow is the ceremony for founding the country."

"I know," Ravel said dispiritedly, "Bring the ceremonial robe to the hospital early, and I will leave the hospital in time to go directly to the ceremony plaza."
