Any curry or chilli spray would likely cause intense burning sensations in the eyes, along with temporary blindness and temporary vision impairment due to excessive tearing.
The spray would also cause irritation of the respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and throat irritation.
Those types of effects were designed to incapacitate people for fifteen to forty-five minutes.
Those very same effects had become mixed quite potently within the gas released from the body of Gasser.
The screams in the room intensified as those effects continued and worsened.
Those effects would continue to linger on those who were exposed to them and were hit by them directly.
If their face was the main target of it, then the effects could end up being more severe in many ways compared to those who were able to avoid direct exposure to their eyes and other parts of their face with the main source of it.
Those effects would continue for the expected time that they would last, while more severe cases could last for longer.
If they were able to find ways to remove it from themselves and to get out of the current affected environment, then they would be able to reduce their exposure to it and remove the effects much sooner.
The main issue with all of that was that they could not move to get away or take any kind of action to protect their face or wipe it away.
There was nothing that could be used to reduce or remove those symptoms earlier.
They had to endure it all as the gas remained within the room, exposing them to it for a lot longer.
That type of situation had resulted in the time they would have to undergo that torture being extended.
Being forced to endure those effects for any longer was too much to handle for anyone.
It was even worse for those who had a much lower pain threshold and less willpower to endure everything.
One of them began coughing heavily with tears flooding down their face. "I will talk. Just... make it stop!"
Gasser crossed his arms, looking down on them. "No way. You backed down before. There is no way that I will let you feel any better now. You could always go back on your word once I make it stop.
Start speaking, and I might just make things come to an end for you."
The others continued to raise their voices in defiance while making threats.
That would have usually worked to silence anyone who was considering it, but the willpower of one of them had already been shaken.
They were too distracted by the pain and the symptoms they were experiencing in the present to care much about the future problems that could come with them talking.
All they knew was that they could not stand another second of what they were enduring.
With them being confronted with such a demand, they could only push through the pain to make it come to an end.
Their voice was more strained as they tried to suppress their yells of pain and their coughing. "We work for the Black Wolves. We were sent to get back what was owed, even if it meant taking away the building and anything else."
What was implied was that they were owed a debt and that they were taking anything they wanted for what was owed.
They would get their money back by any means necessary.
What they meant by anything else meant anything else quite literally.
They would take anything that could have value to them, even if it was people who could be put to use to get their money back.
Even if they had little worth, their bodies could be used in various ways to pay the money back, even if it had to go as far as taking away some organs to be sold on the black market.
If their bodies were not tainted and were healthy, then they could be targeted for that kind of thing, while others would be made use of in ways that were just as illegal and disturbing.
The Black Wolves were a well-known gang that had become widely known in the surrounding territory.
They were not a big name that was known in the past, but they had recently risen.
Their gang name was very suitable in many ways since they gained their fame through their fast rise through the use of rather ruthless methods.
They were able to rise through such ruthless use of fear and intimidation, along with a lot of violence, that let them claim new territories and put those in those territories under them.
That kind of way of doing things created many enemies, but they crushed them each time while absorbing those who were left remaining and were easier to force into serving.
Anyone who was a threat to the Black Wolves was eliminated quite ruthlessly, just as anyone stubborn enough to refuse to bow to them.
Unlike a lot of gangs that were more orderly and had rules they followed, the Black Wolves had fewer restrictions, and they were into just about any form of illegal dealings.
