Chapter 1399: Scare
Chapter 1399: Scare
It turned out that the reason this guy altered the space gates so that it created a problem for Gail to enter is that a young master of the clan, who is the son of a core elder is trying to court a young lady.
And that young lady happened to be the granddaughter of the grand elder incharge of the vacation spot.
So, the young master bribed this guy to lock the spatial formations and nodes a bit so the grand elder who went to meet the clan leader wouldn't be able to return immediately.
Both of the events are not related at all.
It appeared like some kind of coincidence. But when they looked at it that way, they could only think of the most recent even that they almost ignored because of the coincidence of mercs appearing and Jyon Vacationing.
Gail decided that he would go deeper and investigate, no matter how ridiculous the reasons and coincidences might be.
So, he imprisoned this guy and went and caught hold of the young master who went to court the Grand Elder's granddaughter.
"I have a few questions and if you answer them truthfully, you would be able to leave this place sooner, and trust me, as luxurious as this place appeared to be, it is not a good place to stay with me in it. Do you understand?"
The guy couldn't even bring his voice up and just nodded his head.
"Now that we are on the same page, tell me. Why did you bribe this guy to manipulate the space gates? What is in it for you?"
Gail asked as he showed the middle-aged man who was caught before and admitted to changing the space gates.
"I… I wanted to meet Sona. The last time I met her, she said that she would go out on a date with me if I win a bet that is significant.
So, I bet her that I would make her grandfather come late by three minutes than usual and I won because of this plan."
"How did you approach this guy in particular? There is no way for a small fry like you to be acquainted with an elder that has this much power."
"I actually overheard it from someone else. I didn't know it myself."
"Overheard?"
"Yes, I overheard when Mardo is talking to his subordinates in a bar within the city."
"Mardo? Is that Glabin's kid?"
"Yes, Elder Glabin's son."
Gail sighed and went to meet this Elder Glabin who cooperated instantly and brought his son to Giyon's residence itself.
Gail questioned him again and then got the answer that he didn't actually know whether the elder at the space gates is taking bribes, apparently someone said that to him and he is another young master.
As Gail looked through it more and more, he felt that it is indeed a coincidence, but there is also a tinge of doubt and suspicion. After all, how is it possible that every single one of them knew about the elder and the space gate indirectly and how is it possible that they knew it in this specific pattern at a precise time frame that this lover boy's exploit exactly coincided with Jyon's trip.
This all looked like a large puzzle all falling into one place miraculously.
But he didn't give up and only increased the speed of his investigation. He didn't care about being polite anymore and finally, he rounded the whole thing up to two suspects. One of them is actually Mardo's brother. Elder Glabin's other son.
The other one is another young master named Vigon.
Gail just brought two of them at the same time and put them on the chairs of the almost cramped cell.
The whole-cell is filled with the people that Gail brought. There are over fifteen people including these two young masters.
Gail sighed in exhaustion as he said.
"I wouldn't ask you guys more than one time. I want you to tell me the truth when I ask any question. The only reason I am stopping you from killing me and making memories is that I don't want to kill a member of the clan in vain, in case you are not at fault.
But don't think I would stop just because of that.
I have been interrogating everyone from the morning and I am currently on brink of a collapse. I wouldn't be able to hold on to my morality for long and I might just kill you guys the moment you annoy me.
So, be good and answer me alright.
Whose plan is it to attack my daughter in the vacation ground?"
Both of them gulped nervously as they looked at Gail.
"I… I don't know what you are talking about."
"Me too, I am innocent. This is the first time I am hearing about it."
Gail sighed and said.
"You are only making it difficult for yourselves. Is it really worth losing your life over for this? I for one know for sure that this couldn't be your plan at all. Are you really going to die just saving that someone?"
Gail raised his aura and the spiritual energy in the surroundings suffocated both of them.
"Really, I don't know what you are even talking about."
"I am innocent, please don't kill me."
As they are constantly rejecting it, Sam came in to stop Gail and whispered something in his ear.
"Indeed, there is a possibility that she might have seen them, I will try."
Gail muttered out loud and left the room. Sam then looked at the room full of people and couldn't help but shake his head.
A group of people that are just leading their regular life. Every single one of them here is a mediocre person with mediocre talent and mediocre life, at least what is considered mediocre within this realm and city.
But they are almost involved in the killing of a lot of kids without even knowing what they are doing. Whoever is the cause of this, is a mastermind, to say the least.
Gail came back in a few minutes and shook his head.
"There is no use. She couldn't make sense of who she saw. She couldn't remember. But she did say that she heard someone talking about the vacation."
Sam sighed and looked at both of the young masters and said.
"It seems like we need to go for the extreme measures. Let's just take these two to the other room along with the last suspect. They are not going to admit it. We can just kill them there. I don't mind killing an extra person to save my students.
What about you? Do you care if another guy dies in process of finding someone that attacked your daughter?"
"I don't particularly care."
"That's great."
The two young masters looked at them in shock and their throats went dry when Sam and Gail dragged them out.
"No…"
"Please, leave me. I am innocent."
They were dragged into a room and there, a person is tied up to the chair with the face and the body completely covered with a black cloak and mask.
That person's body is dripping with blood.
An attendant was there standing and Sam asked.
"Did you give him the medicine yet?"
"No, sir. I was waiting for you."
"Okay, then. I will do it. You go and get two more doses from the lab. We would be needing it now."
"Yes, Sir."
With that, the guy left the room and Sam took the injector from his hands before he left and injected it into the body of the person tied up to the chair.
The two young masters looked at the whole process. The person tied to the chair was struggling previously and it continued on for two more minutes before he stopped.
Sam looked at them and spoke.
"Didn't I tell you, I would give you a peaceful death? This is a special medicine I have developed. It would help me a lot. First of all, it would put you to sleep before killing you and then destroys your body and completely disposes of it along with that, it would turn your spirit into a specter that falls under my control.
I don't even have to extract your memories and just have to inject this into your bodies and relax."
As he spoke, the body of the man tied up to the chair started emitting a bit of smoke and gave out a putrid smell before a black liquid slowly started dripping, and soon only the black cloak was left on the chair.
And before long, a soul manifested out from within the cloak and entered Sam's head directly.
Sam looked at them and said.
"See, it is that easy. You wouldn't feel a thing. All it would take is the medicine and two minutes for you to fall asleep and you wouldn't even know you died. Great invention right."
As he finished speaking, the attendant came back with two more vials.
