Chapter 156
The 13th tunnel of New Port City’sdistrict A tunnel that was veiled in uted to know its existence This here mana crystals and its byproducts were harvested
Within the deepest depths of the tunnel was a jail And within a cell was Viscount Aintz—its only prisoner—dejected and in complete isolation He lay strewn across the floor, blankly staring into the ceiling and scratching the floor with his nails Suddenly there was a thud, and Viscount Aintz ie
“Tsk! He’s gone completely mad”
At the end of the dark pit was the warden who brought hied, Viscount Aintz stretched his arroan
With no one to speak to, Viscount Aintz had lost all cognitive ability to speak The warden watched Viscount Aintz move his arms about like an animal for a brief moment The warden shi+vered and shook his head at the horrifying sight
Hired by Central, the warden spent his entire lifethe mine’s operations He had worked for many mines in his career, but this mine was by far the worst when it carace was that he was safe from the chaotic reveal of traitors in Central’s midst and the uproar in the city
“It’s none ofbut…”
The warden shi+vered onceat Viscount Aintz hispered to himself The warden intended to throw the can of rations into the cell and walk ahen his head twisted sharply and fell to the ground
With the warden taken care of, a group of ed from the darkness, their footsteps reminiscent of a war roup raised his flashlight toward Viscount Aintz, as busy devouring the can of food with no regard for the collapsed warden The man compared Aintz’s face with a photo and spoke
“Hey, look here”
Viscount Aintz responded slowly, blankly looking toward the ht quickly blinked repeatedly While sier and longer with each one until Viscount Aintz’s clouded eyes began to regain focus
“Are you awake now?”
The man asked, and the annoyed Viscount Aintz waved his hand deht to be moved away
“shi+t! My head Move that away”
The ht away and handed to Viscount Aintz a palm-sized wooden box
Viscount Aintz took the box and shi+fted it as if solving a puzzle With a ‘click!’ the box opened and a ray of light bea fine I heard you were in quite a predicament, locked away in the mines
Viscount Aintz showed no surprise at Yoo-rah’s appearance, si away the food on his hand andmyself Every time I woke up, I questionedmyself If it weren’t for their tio”
Yoo-rah snickered at Viscount Aintz’s lament
-It must have been hard, forcefully shoved into that incohed again, and he spoke as he watched the group ofhow they are here, I’o?”
– It succeeded perfectly Central figured out that the Expeditionary Forces and demons have joined forces, we’ve destroyed all supplies within the warehouses, and Mr Isaac is absolutely furious
Watching the Queen’s satisfied face, Viscount Aintz let out a deep sigh
“The supplies can be replaced, but throwing away the Arc Royale and letting them find out we have co loss”
-It couldn’t be helped We never suspected Dark Royale would try to negotiate with the Expeditionary Forces without the Eotiations before they reached anything serious
“The Expeditionary Forces should have been happy quietly y to bypass the gate through the demonic world that we’d donated I’ forces with Dark Royale Really goes to show that no ally or enerumbled and the Queen slad it wasn’t the Directorate of Surveillance If they had intervened in place of Dark Royale, ould have been caught couess that’s the consequence of halting that forced project midway last time”
-It has been rather cumbersome that the Dark Royale turned their full attention to us after stopping all their external activities
Viscount Aintz turned his head to the group ofto their conversation
“But I’m surprised they didn’t find you all out; you all have absolutely no skill in English”
“Hey noe can at least speak basic sentences with our high school knowledge Nais too meechu! Ai em Jon Smis, yu es neibi lutenen”
One of the hed
“But what happened to the Director of Surveillance?”
