    At that moment, Hudson was trembling with fear. He quickly pleaded with Charlie, saying, “Mr. Wade, I was mistaken! My second aunt deceived me into this. She orchestrated the trap for your mother-inw, and I waspletely misled and used by her…”


    Charlie, however, responded with a sharp p to Hudson’s face. His cold voice cut through the air, “If you utter another word before the twelfth ring concludes, I will have Albert chop you into a hundred pieces!”


    Terrified by the intensity of Charlie’s re, Hudson fell silent immediately.


    Charlie nced at Hudson’s five broken fingers and said, “Your right hand is nearly done. Now, are you ready?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Once he finished speaking, Charlie seized Hudson’s wrist and forcefully twisted it!


    Click!


    Hudson’s right wrist shatteredpletely.


    His legs buckled, and he copsed to the ground with a thud!


    Although he wanted to plead for mercy, the fear of Charlie’s earlier threat left him speechless.


    The searing pain felt overwhelming, threatening to bring him to his knees.


    Charlie then dered, “Twelve rings. That was just six. You still have six to go.”


    With that, he leaned down and grasped Hudson’s left hand.


    Hudson looked at Charlie, tears welling in his eyes, but he remained silent, his pitiful gaze pleading for mercy.


    Charlie responded with a cruel smile.


    He grabbed Hudson’s left thumb and announced, “The seventh ring!”


    Hudson shuddered in agony!


    Without giving him a moment to recover, Charlie continued, “Now, the eighth ring!”


    The pain was so intense that Hudson felt he might pass out.


    Yet, the ninth ring jolted him back to reality.


    Charlie’s expression was chillingly merciless.


    He lightly patted Hudson’s face and smiled, “Just four more rings. Don’t miss it!”


    With another punishing click, Hudson felt as if he was being slowly sliced open.


    “Three rings left!”<fn4a40> Th?s chapter is updated by Find[?]ovel</fn4a40>


    Linda was frozen with terror, realizing that she would likely be next after her nephew endured Charlie’s twelve rings.


    Hannah, desperate to flee, was suddenly yanked back into the living room by one of Albert’s men, who threatened her with a pistol pointed at her head.


    Hannah nearly fainted at the sight of the gun aimed directly at her forehead.


    At this point, Hudson had suffered through eleven rings.


    His fingers hung limply like overripe beans from a vine,pletely motionless.


    Now, he could only manage to move his left wrist.


    “This is the final ring!” Charlie told him.


    Overwhelmed by pain, Hudson found himself unable to kneel. He simply let Charlie grip his left wrist and break it without resistance.


    Twelve rings!


    Hudson howled in agony.


    He realized he had rendered himself useless for the future. With both wrists and all ten fingers incapacitated, what could he possibly do?


    Continue living as a gangster?


    How could he even wield a knife again?


    He would be swiftly killed by his enemies in no time!


    Charlie crouched in front of Hudson, his voice chilling, “You still have two legs. If you don’t answer my questions properly, I’ll give you another twelve rings!”


    Hudson’s face drained of color as he quickly responded, “I’ll answer all your questions truthfully, no matter what you ask!”


    Charlie nodded, ncing at the trembling forms of Hannah and Linda beforemanding in a cold tone, “Tell me everything that happened today. If you leave out even a single detail, I’ll ensure your legs are rendered useless by nightfall!”
