Ten minutes slowly passed by and when it was time, Shaka led the way forward.
We walked over to the building and there wasn't a single person that noticed us.
That was because all the people who had been around this area had somehow disappeared.
When we came closer to the building, I could see that there were a few people that were lying on the ground. From afar, it looked like they were napping, but when one looked closely…there were traces of red.
I couldn't help turning to look at Shaka, but he didn't bother acknowledging this.
I turned back to look at the figures that were on the ground and I couldn't help wondering just what kind of person I had gotten involved with…
I had thought that the noble that I borrowed these men from just wanted to do a few things under the nose of the count for his own benefits, but now it didn't seem to be the case.
After all, people that were this skilled at "silencing" people were not people that could be recruited by a simple noble like this.
There was clearly something much deeper at work here.
But for now, I didn't think too deeply about it.
I had already paid the price, so I would face the consequences later. If I thought too much about this and got distracted, I would lose my life in the end.
It was better to throw this to the back of my mind and deal with these matters when they came up.
For now, I should focus on saving Haley.
So I let Shaka lead the way in.
The path that we took had also been cleared of all guards. I didn't see a trace of the guards in this hallway, but I could see out of the corner of my eyes that there were streaks of red that lined this hallway.
It was clear that what happened outside had also happened here.
I couldn't help wondering if Shaka's men were currently hiding in the surrounding area, watching over everything.
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε|·ƈθm When we reached the end of the hall, I found that one of Shaka's men was there waiting for us.
Shaka went over to him and after exchanging a few words, he turned away from the door in front of us and walked over to the wall. Then as if on cue, there was a rope ladder that was dropped down for us.
The three of us quickly climbed up this ladder and we found that we were in the ceiling. This was a space between the second floor and the first floor that was big enough to fit us.
Waiting there were a few more of Shaka's men.
Seeing that Shaka was here, they quickly took their positions before one of them led us to a certain area in this ceiling part. Waiting there was a peep hole in the floor that we could look down on.
When we arrived, both Shaka and Jessica looked at me, as if they were giving me the honours.
I didn't hold back and moved over to the peep hole before putting my eyes over it.
Looking down, I found that we were currently over a dark and large room. I couldn't see very well because of how dark it was there, but my eyes soon adjusted and I was able to see what was inside.ραпdαs `nᴏνɐ| сom
Sitting on the ground under me, tied up in ropes was Haley.
However, it wasn't just her that was sitting there tied up.
Sitting beside her was…her father who had also been tied up.
In front of them were several rough looking men who were all holding daggers and surrounding them. In the center of this group was…Haley's husband and someone that looked to be the boss of these men.
Haley's husband was sitting there in a chair in front of them, looking down on them.
I couldn't see too clearly, but it seemed like his mouth was moving, as if he was saying something to them. They were just too far away for me to hear what they were saying clearly.
That is until Shaka suddenly handed me something.
I looked down at it to see that it was a pair of earplugs.
I couldn't understand how earplugs would help me in this situation, but I trusted him and put them in my ears.
The moment that they were inserted in my ears, as if by magic, I was able to hear the sound of Haley's husband speaking.
I couldn't help looking at Shaka with a surprised look, but he just looked back at me with a calm look.
I knew that it was useless trying to get more information out of Shaka like this, but I couldn't help changing my opinion of him and the noble that he reported to even more. After all, this was clearly a magic item.
Any organization that was able to get a magic item definitely wasn't a normal organization.
It was clear that they were a powerful organization that had some kind of goal and that goal…involved me.
But for now, it was useless to think about it, so I turned my attention back down to what was happening below.
"If you just do what we tell you, then we'll let you go without a problem." Haley's husband said.
Haley had a fierce look on her face as if she wanted to rip him apart, but her father just had a crushed look on his face.
He looked at Haley's husband and asked, "Alex, why are you doing this?"
Haley's husband looked down at her father and said, "You know why you forced me to do this. If I can't have what's mine, then I'll take it by force."
Haley's father looked crushed as he said, "I've always treated you like my son and I've always given you everything you wanted. If there's any way that I've wronged you…"
"Shut up!" Haley's husband suddenly shouted.
Then taking a deep breath, he said, "You'll be able to make it up to me soon."
After he said this, he revealed a smile that clearly showed that he had evil intentions.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
