Mario was both angry and disappointed, and he turned around to leave.
Gao Yang was a bit panicked. There was no way not to be; once Mario left, he'd continue to be tortured.
Long, long ago, after witnessing how Yake, Number Thirteen, and the Black Demon conducted interrogations, Gao Yang swore never to let himself be captured. If things looked bad, he'd shoot himself rather than become a prisoner at the mercy of others.
But this time, Gao Yang really underestimated the situation and found himself in trouble. At a banquet, someone held a gun to his head.
If back then Gao Yang had resisted desperately and was shot dead, it would have been a good outcome. Unfortunately, at such moments, people always try to rescue themselves first rather than immediately commit suicide. Thus, Gao Yang inevitably fell into the predicament he never wanted to be in; he was captured and tortured.
