He went out of his room and his steps is determined as he walk outside the residence and slowly walk in the direction of the cell.

He dressed properly and he already checked his face and his dress.

'All fine' he thought to himself.

He now need to see that woman who tries to a.s.sa.s.sinate him before his visit to Karak. He had delay it long enough.

He had many suspect names swirling in his mind but he needed the woman to confirm it for him of who is responsible for the attempt on his life.

Aero when he thinks of that woman, he did not deny that the woman was beautiful. But that is not the reason he wanted to meet her. Beautiful but deadly.

Aero like to know who his enemies are.

By now, Aero believes that Antilus surely has got the information of who is responsible out of her but he still needs to determine whether the woman is speaking the truth or not by himself.

He would not feel ease until he confirms it for himself.

Aero sighed. A beautiful woman in a deadly and dark job of being an a.s.sa.s.sin. Aero sympathizes because he got the report from Antilus.

The woman who attacked him is not a player but an NPCs. All NPCs have their background story and lives. What kind of lives that she leads that made her like this?

As Aero walk to the cell, he is also thinking of how Antilus persuaded that woman to give up the information. In his opinion Antilus will offer money or t.i.tle or a gift of freedom.

It won't matter if it's a lie as long as that woman believes it. This is the easiest way to persuade someone.

On one hand he could threaten and then give them a good condition. The carrot and stick approach.

After all everyone wants t.i.tle and money. Even if Antilus offers some items that would not be too much

At least if Antilus can't persuade her, he could offer her a t.i.tle. Or if she is still stubborn Aero will threaten her to leave her to rot in the dark dungeon.

But he was still too naive probably.

Because what he saw when he entered the cell made his heart boil. He walk through the dark corners of the entire prison complex underground and then when he saw what is done to the woman he yelled in anger

"ANTILUS!WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"

In front of Aero was a woman stripped naked. Aero eyes is red and his heart is beating to the beats of a war drum

The woman is held by four chains each on her hands and legs.

Her flesh is full of cuts and bruises. Her mouth had dried blood all over. Her lips is cracked probably because she didn't get any water.

She is pale and trembling in pain. Her finger looks weak and twitch every second

Her thighs seem like it was being slashed hundreds of time, as there is deep cuts and dried blood around it.

There is still blood flowing from the wounds, dripping to the cold dark ground of the cell.

Her arms seem to be pierced repeatedly by something sharp, leaving a b.l.o.o.d.y smear. Her nose is shattered.

And she is whimpering like a dog that is about to die.

It seems she is unconscious right now. She looks so frail and weak. Her body is testament and proof of how she suffered and survived many beatings.

Bruises, wounds, cuts, can be seen clearly from all parts of her body.

It also seems cold water was also used in her interrogation after Aero saw the dripping water from her hair.

Her ears were cut off and her eyes were bruised badly. Antilus who heard the yell rushed to the cell with Jayden and Holt

He saw the Chancellor standing in front of the chained prisoner, only seeing his back and not seeing the Chancellor face.

If he did he not ask his next question.

he asked

'Chancellor Aero, you call for me? What is the problem?'

'What the h.e.l.l did you do?' Aero asked, his voice is calm but the coldness in his tone is unmistakable. Hearing this even Jayden and Holt beside Antilus is s.h.i.+vering because of fear.
