The dungeon of the Dark Web.

Shadow appeared at the door, and two strong men in black clothes stopped him.

"The Dark Master has ordered that no one is allowed to set foot here even half a step."

Shadow frowned slightly and said, "Let me through. I'll take responsibility for any mistakes."

"Master Shadow, this is the Dark Master's order. Please don't make things difficult for us."

"I will plead guilty to the Dark Master myself. Get out of the way." After saying that, Shadow forced his way in.

Seeing this, one of the guards chased after him, and the other left to report the situation.

This was a place specially used to imprison the traitors of the Dark Web, and Shadow One was locked up inside.

Since being captured in the underground maze that day, Bradley had asked Blue Book to bring back the dying Shadow One, and no one had been allowed to visit her until now.

Shadow knew that Shadow One deserved what she got. As a member of the Dark Web, he naturally understood the rules of the Dark Web.

Whoever betrays the Dark Web must suffer the punishment of the Dark Web before being eligible to die.

Shadow One was barely alive when she was brought back, and now she was also hanging on by a thread, living a life worse than death.

Shadow also knew that the Dark Master's order that no one was allowed to enter the dungeon was actually to prevent him from coming to see Shadow One. After all, he and Shadow One were biological siblings.

It would be too cruel for him to watch his own sister die in pain.

Shadow came to a cell with shackles and stood there for a long time until a weak coughing sound came from inside.

He opened a small window on the door, which was a special passage for the guards to deliver food.

Shadow looked inside through the small window. Shadow One was lying on the ground with her hair disheveled, curled up into a ball.

Her hair covered her face, so it was hard to see her appearance clearly, but it could be seen that she was so thin that there was only skin and bones left.

When Shadow saw this scene, his eyes quickly became wet.

Perhaps his gaze was too intense. Shadow One sensed something and slowly turned her head.

Her eyes, as gray as ashes, were empty and colorless, but when she recognized who it was, tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

"Bro... ther..."

Her voice was extremely weak.

With each word she uttered, she coughed even more violently, and in the end, the two words she said were also blurred.

Shadow One propped up her battered body and tried to crawl over with her hands on the ground. But her body was already broken, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't move half a step closer.

"Bro..."

She could only make a faint sound.

Shadow finally couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned to leave, but suddenly heard a loud "boom" sound and quickly turned back.

He saw Shadow One lying on her side on the ground, and her scarred hands were hitting the ground, trying to attract his attention in this way.

Shadow held back his emotions, but finally couldn't help but speak, "Shadow One, the only thing your brother can do is to come and see you this last time. If there is a next life, be a kind girl."

When Shadow One heard his words, tears rolled down from her sunken eye sockets.

After this period of torture that was worse than death, she had no desire to live anymore. But Bradley simply wouldn't let her die, and every minute and every second of her life was a torment.

She was now like the most hideous and wretched ghost in hell, and even she herself felt disgusted when she looked at herself.

Suddenly, there were dull footsteps coming from outside.

Even without seeing the person, Shadow knew who was coming.

Soon, that dark figure gradually appeared in sight. Shadow approached and knelt down on the ground.

Bradley was dressed in black and looked down at him coldly, "I said that no one is allowed to set foot here even half a step. Did you take my order as a deaf ear?"

In the Dark Web, there was only obedience, no defiance.

The reason why Bradley didn't let Shadow come to visit was out of consideration for the brother-sister relationship between the two of them, fearing that it would inevitably affect his emotions.

But Shadow still didn't listen to the order and actually forced his way in.

Shadow pleaded guilty, "This subordinate defied the order and is willing to accept any punishment."

"Bradley, this isn't Shadow's fault. After all, the person locked up inside is his sister," Freya said.

Although she still hated Shadow One, Shadow One had already reaped what she sowed and received her punishment. In fact, Freya didn't hate her that much anymore.

Torturing Shadow One could relieve the hatred for a while, but the one who suffered was still Shadow.

Freya didn't want Bradley to have a falling out with Shadow again because of Shadow One's matter.

"Shadow One's mistakes are indeed unforgivable, but this period of torture is enough to wear down her will. I think it's almost time," Freya said. This wasn't something that Freya should have said, but when she saw Shadow One's current appearance, which could only be described as a "walking corpse," she felt that all the punishments should come to an end.

Living like this was worse than just dying and getting it over with.

Shadow kowtowed, his voice full of grief, "Please, Dark Master, grant Shadow One death. This subordinate... is willing to execute the sentence personally."

Bradley looked at Shadow like this, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

Shadow One and Shadow had followed him for many years. If Shadow One hadn't repeatedly crossed his bottom line, he wouldn't have chosen to punish her in such a cruel way.

Now that the person was at the end of her life, continuing to keep her alive would only make Shadow unable to get out of the shadow for the rest of his life.

Bradley thought for a moment, turned to look at Freya, and asked, "Freya, what do you think about this?"

Freya pursed her lips and said, "It's too cruel to let Shadow execute the sentence. It's better to follow the rules of the Dark Web and let a specialized person handle this matter."

Shadow One had to die, but Shadow definitely couldn't be the one to do it.

No matter how ruthless Freya could be, she couldn't bear to see the scene of siblings killing each other, especially since Shadow loved Shadow One so much.

"All right then. I'll make the arrangements for this," Bradley said.

Shadow kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Dark Master, for your kindness."

The matter was thus settled. Shadow One's life would end that afternoon.

After the execution, Bradley handed Shadow One's body to Shadow for disposal and gave Shadow a week's leave.

This matter was finally over.

From then on, there would be no more Shadow One in this world.

...

After Shadow One was executed, it soon came to the agreed time for receiving the goods.

On this day, at the harbor wharf.

For the sake of safety, Bradley had Ling Ran sent to the Dark Web headquarters overnight to restrain Xila.

This time, Bai Zhanwang would personally show up to deliver the goods to Xila, so Xila had to complete this mission personally. As for Bradley and Freya, they were hiding behind, waiting for the right moment to take out Bai Zhanwang's people and then disguise themselves and blend into the crowd.

Mi Luo and Yun Xiangcheng were waiting for Xila to get the goods and then send them to a safe place to be destroyed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Zhanwang arrived as promised.

Because 250kg of goods was not a small amount, Bai Zhanwang had brought a lot of people this time.

Of course, these were all masters from the Zhan Fa family, and each of them had extraordinary skills.

"Miss Xila, if you don't take this batch of goods away, I'll be losing my shirt," Bai Zhanwang laughed loudly.

Xila also said politely, "Mr. Bai, you're just joking. Everyone knows that the Zhan Fa family is as rich as a country. Just 250kg of goods couldn't possibly make you lose money. Besides, the Lady had some problems, which is why we asked you to take care of the goods for a while. Look, I'm here today, aren't I?"

When Bai Zhanwang heard this, a trace of fox-like cunning flashed in his cloudy eyes, but he still had a smile on his face, "This 'for a while' has been delayed for more than half a month. At that time, you were in a hurry for the goods, and I had the staff work overnight to produce them. But then you suddenly disappeared, and everyone has been complaining."
