Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Torture
Her fists clenched as anger simmered inside her chest.
Meanwhile, the battle inside the office had not stopped.
One of Ivy’s soldiers had been fighting fiercely against Ian Morris’s subordinates. However, the clash was becoming increasingly difficult.
Ivy watched carefully.
And soon... She realized something unexpected.
Ian Morris’s soldiers were stronger.
Not just slightly stronger. Noticeably stronger.
That realization struck her like a cold bucket of water.
’How...?’
She had believed that after her rebirth, after all the preparations she had made, her base would easily surpass Talon Base.
Yet now... Reality stood right in front of her.
The soldiers of Talon Base were still stronger than hers.
Ivy could only watch as Ian’s guards forced their way toward him, forming a tighter defensive formation.
Then Ian himself stepped back into the center of the formation.
Before the teleportation energy activated, he paused.
He looked directly at Ivy. Their eyes met. His gaze was cold.
"I will remember what happened today."
His lips curved slightly.
"And I will return the favor."
A faint distortion of light suddenly surrounded him.
Ivy clenched her fists. "No..."
But before she could act... The teleportation activated.
Ian Morris disappeared.
The flash of light faded, leaving the office silent except for the heavy breathing of the remaining soldiers.
However, not all of his subordinates managed to escape.
Several of them had been captured.
Ivy stared at the few remaining enemies tied down on the ground.
For some reason, the victory felt hollow.
’Leftovers...’
The thought crossed her mind bitterly.
’It feels like I’m only collecting leftovers.’
She shook her head slightly.
’No... I’m overthinking.’
Taking a slow breath, she turned toward her soldiers. "Imprison them."
Her voice was cold. "And torture them."
"I want every piece of information about Ian Morris and Talon Base."
The soldiers immediately nodded.
Without hesitation, they dragged the captured enemies away one by one.
Only after the chaos settled did Martha finally step closer to Ivy.
She looked at Ivy carefully.
"What is going on?"
Her voice carried a trace of concern.
It was only then that Ivy realized she had never explained anything.
She sighed softly. "Ian Morris..."
Her voice lowered. "He is my old enemy."
Martha’s brows furrowed.
She studied Ivy’s face more carefully. "Are you alright?"
Ivy nodded slowly. "Just... memories. They messed with my mind a little."
Martha didn’t seem completely convinced.
"It would be better if you rested for a while."
Ivy hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Alright."
But even as she agreed, her mind was already drifting somewhere else.
She knew Ivy well enough to notice something was wrong.
Even though Ivy tried to appear calm, it was obvious that she was forcing herself to remain composed.
’She is barely holding herself together.’
Martha quietly decided to inform the others later.
Meanwhile... Ivy walked alone through the corridor.
But inside her mind, chaos was raging.
Those memories...
They refused to disappear.
Even though she had remained calm while confronting Ian’s subordinates earlier, the moment she relaxed, everything came flooding back.
The chains, the cold rooms, the endless torture.
Every time she closed her eyes, the sensations returned vividly.
Her breathing became uneven.
’No... I can’t let this continue.’
Then another thought appeared.
The captured subordinates.
’Those people... They were there.’
If she could identify them...
If she could find the ones who tortured her the most...
Her eyes darkened.
’Maybe I will feel better then?’
With that thought, she turned back toward Martha.
"I will take my leave."
But just as she stood up...
Martha suddenly stopped her.
She looked directly into Ivy’s eyes. "Where are you going?"
Ivy forced a calm expression. "I just want to identify a few prisoners. It’s nothing serious. You don’t need to worry."
Without waiting for further questions, Ivy left.
Soon... She arrived at the prison.
Inside the cells, Ian’s captured subordinates had already been restrained.
Chains bound their wrists and ankles.
The moment they saw Ivy enter...
Their expressions twisted with hostility.
"You bitch!"
One of them spat on the floor.
"I never thought someone who looks so innocent would do something this disgusting."
Another prisoner laughed mockingly.
"Treating the base leader’s close people like this... are you trying to improve your base’s population through torture?"
"How disgusting."
One of them sneered loudly.
"Our base leader was even considering forming an alliance with you."
"Who would have thought you were such a two-faced bitch?"
"Good thing he stopped the deal."
Their insults filled the prison corridor.
But Ivy didn’t react immediately.
She simply listened. Because she recognized them.
Even without seeing their faces clearly...
She knew their voices.
Each voice was painfully familiar. Disgustingly familiar.
They were the ones who had tormented her in her previous life.
Some of them were sadists.
Some enjoyed humiliating her.
Some loved watching her bleed.
Some pretended to be kind for a moment, only to tear that kindness away in the next second.
Every single one of them had left scars on her soul.
’Finally found you all... In this life I will let you all know the depth of despair!’
They were standing right in front of her. This should have been satisfying. This should have felt like revenge.
But instead...
The memories rushed back violently.
Their voices echoed inside her head.
One of them whispered in her memory.
"Don’t worry... from now on I’ll take good care of you."
The next moment... Blinding pain. Her body trembled.
It felt as if her entire body was rejecting those memories.
Ivy suddenly collapsed to the ground.
The nearby guard panicked immediately.
"Miss Ivy! What happened?"
He rushed forward to support her.
But Ivy simply waved her hand weakly.
Her eyes slowly lifted toward the prisoners. "Torture them."
Her voice was hoarse.
"Torture them until they beg for mercy. Until they regret being born."
Hatred burned inside her voice like fire. The guards hesitated for a moment.
But then they nodded. "Understood."
Hearing that response, Ivy finally relaxed slightly.
The tension holding her body together vanished.
