Power of my Mafia Family

Chapter 11 - Interrogation

Natsu's POV

As I walked into the torture chamber, I noticed Laxus had forced our prisoner into a kneeling position in the center of the room. Laxus was leaning against the wall while glaring at the prisoner, eagerly waiting for me to start the torture. I stepped closer to the man and he wiggled as he heard my steps. I gave Laxus a firm nod, signalling him that we were starting. He walked over to stand behind the prisoner and then roughly pulled the sack off his head.

The blond short haired male prisoner with sea green eyes stared up at me in fear. He struggled more against his restraints as he noticed the amount of dried blood all over the room. "You have one chance. Tell us where your boss Jose is keeping my wife, Lucy Dragneel" I threatened. Laxus untied his gag and threw it across the room. "I-I don't know. I s-swear" he said but I didn't believe him. I locked eyes with Laxus. "Do it" I said before walking over to my seat by the door.

As I took a seat, Laxus smirked before slipping on his Lightning Dragon Slayer gloves. "W-Wait! I'm telling the truth!" the prisoner begged but I still didn't believe him. He was clearly keeping some information to himself. Laxus put his hand on the prisoner's shoulder and the electricity from his glove electrocuted his entire body. The prisoner screamed in agony. After a few seconds, Laxus let go and the prisoner panted heavily. "Where's my wife?" I asked again. "I...I don't know" he replied while breathing heavily and then Laxus electrocuted him again. His screams were music to my ears.

The door to the chamber opened and Gray walked in with Gajeel who was holding a black toolbox. "Started the fun without us I see. Guess he decided not to talk" Gray commented with a smirk. "Gihi" Gajeel chuckled as he put his tool on the table by the side wall. Laxus let go of the prisoner and Gray walked over to face the prisoner. "Unless you want to go home in a body bag, tell our boss where you Phantom Lord bastards took his wife" he said and then slapped the man in the face. The prisoner had already sealed his fate in a body bag when he refused to take my only chance to tell me where they were keeping my wife, but he didn't need to know that just yet. "I-I already told your boss that I don't know" the prisoner replied, spitting some blood to the side. "Wrong answer" Gray said and then kneed the prisoner in the face. The prisoner fell back onto the floor with a bloody and broken nose.

I glanced at Gajeel and he smirked as he stepped forward with his Iron Dragon Dagger. "My turn, gihi" he said before slowly and deeply cutting the prisoner's cheek. The prisoner screamed in pain as his blood dripped down his face. "Where should I cut next?" Gajeel taunted and then he eyed the prisoner's thigh. "I know. Right here!" he said as he stabbed his dagger into the man's thigh.

"Please stop. I told you that I can't tell you where your wife is" the prisoner cried and a sadistic smirk grew on my face. He slipped up. "So you do know where my wife is" I chuckled as I stood up and the prisoner looked confused. My men smirked with me and then stepped back. The prisoner soon realised his mistake and his face became ghostly pale. "N-no, no! I misspoke! I don't know where your wife is!" he begged. I took out my Fire Dragon Slayer gloves from my pocket and put them on my hands. "I don't believe you" I said as I slowly walked towards him. His fear kept growing with each step I took. "Please! I'll do anything!" he begged but I ignored his pleas. I grabbed his bound arm with one hand and ignited my magic. He screamed and squirmed in anguish underneath me. After a couple of minutes, I let go and we could see the third-degree burns my hand left behind.

Without another word, I moved my flaming hand towards his face. Maybe he'll be more cooperative if I burn that face of his. His eyes widened in fear as my hand inched closer and closer. I could tell he was so close to breaking. "Fine! I'll tell you where your wife is!" he screamed. I stopped my hand a few inches away from his face and waited for him to continue. "She's at Phantom Lord's Headquarters in Oak Town underneath Shade Industries. My boss is keeping her in the dungeons on level 3" he blabbed. I smirked, finally a location on my wife. Just hang in there Lucy.

As a small sign of mercy for giving me the information I desired, I moved my flaming hand away from his face. He sighed in relief, but this was far from over. I stood up straight, fixed my suit and then walked towards the door. Time to plan a full-scale attack and rescue on Phantom Lord's Headquarters. "You have one hour. Make sure to dispose of the body where no one can find it" I ordered and my men chuckled. It has been a while since I let my men have some fun like this. "Wait, 'dispose of the body'?! But I told you where she is!" the prisoner begged. I stopped at the door and looked over my shoulder at him with a sadistic smirk. "You had your chance" I replied and then gave a deep chuckle before I left the room. His terrorised screams rang out down the hallway as I walked further away from the room.
