"Tell me where it is."
Smack!
One usually might have winced from the sheer force and echoing impact of the blow that smashed against Zanis' cheek, Lili however watched with glee as the man hung limply from Caelan's arm in the air, face a bloody mess, glasses shattered and missing.
"I've….I've already told you where the money is you psychopath!" Zanis spluttered through a blood filled mouth, what little of his teeth he had left, askew or cracked, his nose a crushed bloodied broken mess, his eyes swollen and purpled.
Lili had to admit, as little as she liked Zanis, no she had a boiling hatred for him and his ilk…but putting that aside, he really was quite resilient. How he was still conscious with the mess of injuries on his face was beyond her.
…The sheer durability and endurance of a level two, huh? Truly, he had ascended beyond the mere normal mortals of the world and stood on a higher level of life.
"Tell me where the money is." Caelan repeated, punching him once more in the face, another tooth going flying, the teenagers fist absolutely caked in blood.
What did that say about Caelan though, that he so easily manhandled Zanis as if he were an unruly brat.
Lili watched on with a savage gleeful grin as Caelan repeated the question and punched Zanis, over and over and over again.
Pretending over and over again he hadn't heard where he said he kept his safe full of money.
…In a hidden floor board under his bed apparently, the amateur.
Instead, Caelan was simply torturing the man. Not physically, well a bit physically, but mentally. He was making a show of letting Zanis know, that no matter what he did, no matter what answer he gave, even if it was the correct answer and true.
It was wrong, because Caelan said so.
It got to the point not long later, where Zanis full on burst into tears after giving a fully detailed explanation of where he kept his money, the exact floor board, where he kept his safe key, in a hidden panel behind his bed, and even begged him to take his money, only for Caelan to ignore it, demand where the money was and punch him in the face again, a crack echoing through the room as his cheek finally caved in.
And to think these were just love taps from Caelan….according to him at least. Lili begged to differ, but she wouldn't voice such a thing.
She was enjoying this sweet sweet moment far too much, 'Yes, beat him more Mr. Caelan, make him cry and beg for mercy and don't give him any.' her eyes glinted ferally.
"Why….why!?" Zanis screamed, reaching a trembling arm out to grab Caelan's caller, which the boy let happen, "Why are you doing this?! I've already told you everything, why do you keep hurting me!? Please stop!"
Caelan simply nodded, before grabbing the wrist of the hand on his collar. Then wrenching it off and to the side so suddenly and so hard, another snap echoed through the room as Zanis' wrist was broken, he squealed in agony.
"You touched something of mine, that's completely unforgivable," Caelan smirked, before punching the crying man dangling in the air from his only good hand in the face, "Now tell me where the money is, bitch."
Something of his.
Lili was sure she should have gotten offended by that. Being referred to as his possession, as if she was his. As if she belonged to him. That was the normal response, right?
…Then why did she feel so warm? Feel so giddy? Why couldn't she wipe the silly smile from her face?
'Lili really is messed up in the head.' she realised. And yet…she did not care. In fact, she liked it.
Zanis rocked back from the blow, his eyes rolling around limply in their sockets as he barely held onto consciousness…before his eyes flittered over her and paused, "…Arde….all this for Arde?" he gave a watery sputter, blood bubbling between his lips, "That little slut….you fool…doing all this for a girl warming your bed, you won't get away with this the guild, the other familia's…they won't let a loose cannon like you…get away with this nonsense!"
Caelan sighed in annoyance, dropping Zanis-
Before kicking his body like a ball before he dropped all the way, sending him flying through the air, crashing into…and through one of the concrete walls.
"She isn't warming my bed you twat," Caelan corrected him, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking towards the hole he'd made using Zanis' body as a projectile, and came back out of it a second later, dragging the bloody mangled man behind him like a sack of trash across the ground, "Yet." he added confidently, tossing a wink Lili's way.
She should scold him. Call him out. Deny it, call him a pervert. A normal response to such a thing.
Yet Lili didn't, instead she just beamed and walked forward, "Yeah Lili hasn't warmed his bed yet." she repeated his words, before kicking the man in the side.
He probably barely even felt it, but it felt good.
And to add insult to injury, Lili drew saliva into her mouth, before backing it out, spitting straight in his face, "You pathetic piece of filthy trash."
"I've….I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF YOU!" Zanis lost it as the loogie caught him in a purpled eye, "You you can't have known for her long right!? All this stuff, anything we did to her would have happened long before you knew her. So why…why are you doing this!?"
"Tell me where the money is." Caelan replied, lifting him up by the air and punching him in the face once more.
Zanis rocked back from the blow, squealing like a pig and honestly, with how messed up he was and being held up by the hair, which she could tell anyone hurt from experience, she didn't blame him.
"HEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA!" a demented cackle escaped Zanis cracked and bruised bloody lips, "I can't win?! FUCK YOU! YOU MONSTER! I'll have your HEAD for THIS! I'll fucking KILL-"
His broken threats were cut off by him giving out another long pitched hog like squeal.
Because Caelan's foot had found his no doubt tiny scrotum once more, "Ah shut the fuck up." Caelan snorted, letting go of his hair, only to wrap both hands around the back of his head and drag him down into a rising knee.
Crunch!
The impact would have sent Zanis flying as his face caved in…if Caelan let go at least.
Instead-
Crunch!
Caelan dragged him down into another knee to the face, then another and another and another. He just kept smashing his knee into Zanis' face brutally over and over and over again for at least ten seconds.
Ten seconds was a long time when someone could move as fast as Caelan.
"Is…is he dead?" Lili eyed the twitching form of Zanis laying on the ground after Calena got bored of smashing his face in with his knee.
He was completely unrecognizable, the bones in his face practically having been turned to liquid shards after the brutal onslaught.
"Nope." Caelan just smirked.
And that told Lili all she needed to know. He'd deliberately left him alive, even while smashing his face in so brutally.
How he knew how to do so, Lili didn't even want to ask.
