"What??"

"That guy is just an [Eclipse Stage Awakener]?"

"And it was just a random attack?"

“How is this possible!!”

“I don’t believe it!!”

“…”

Inside a giant cell built of pure black hard stone that does not reflect any light at all.

Someone's voice was echoing fiercely in it. The sound waves it created were enough to tear apart the body and soul of a weak person. Even the special alloy used to build a hyperspace battleship would be torn into powder.

However.

In this empty cell.

Listening to Rory Stanley's words full of disbelief and facing the bad noise he made.

The guy sitting opposite him just drank the wine in his glass quietly with indifference.

He looked extremely relaxed, without any strangeness or discomfort at all, as if the noise in the cell did not exist at all.

It was not until the noise from Rory Stanley's side gradually calmed down that the man in a simple gray robe slowly said:

"Although the matter is a bit outrageous, there is really nothing false in what I just said."

"This is exactly what I know."

"As for why that powerful man named Xi Shen Lian could easily defeat you with one strike, I don't really understand it, and I don't have any intention of exploring it in depth."

"Anyway, those things have nothing to do with me."

"And you, Mr. Rory Stanley, you'd better stay here and wait for others to understand you."

"After all, you can't do anything right now."

"Whether you want to investigate the so-called truth or seek revenge, none of these are things you can do right now."

The speaker's tone and expression were all very calm, as if he was talking about everyday matters.

There were no real waves.

It's as if he was just talking about some trivial things.

The exact opposite of Rory Stanley.

Although Rory Stanley was a little unhappy about this, he had no choice.

Now.

He was being held in a special prison by the [Hanhai Kingdom] and he really couldn't do anything.

If there wasn't someone behind him.

Moreover, the [Hanhai Sea Kingdom] is unwilling to offend anyone to death.

Perhaps, he has already been thrown into some more cruel and difficult to get out of hell place.

For example, the [Ante Prison] where Xi Shenlian once stayed, where a large number of high-level awakeners were imprisoned.

Once thrown in.

Even if there are people out there willing to make the money, it would be an extremely difficult technical job.

and.

Once inside, they will be subjected to special punishments immediately, which can torture even the most stubborn prisoners to the point where they cannot live or die...

Things really got to that point.

It is absolutely impossible for Rory Stanley to be simply imprisoned like he is now, without even experiencing any kind of punishment.

so.

As a guy who had been treated favorably, he couldn't refute the words of the gray-robed man at all.

After his expression changed for a while.

I could only remain silent again, feeling a little disappointed.

Nothing more was said.

He understands.

If you continue to talk about it, you will only make yourself like a stray dog. Not only will you be looked down upon by others, but you will also be laughed at for no reason.

To this.

The figure sitting not far across from him chuckled, then shook his head slowly and continued to drink the rare wine in his glass. He didn't do anything more, let alone make any sarcastic remarks.

Even though he was one of the main persons in charge of the [City of Cross], and the other party was causing trouble in his territory.

Bottom line.

Although Rory Stanley did not say why he had to kill the guy who was being chased in public in the City of Cross.

But judging from his reaction when he was caught, and the reaction of the people behind him when they got the news, there must be something else behind the truth.

Rory Stanley is most likely just a guy who was forced to do dirty work...

No matter whether others believe it or not.

At least that's what the Gray Robe Beings believe.

Because he had been forced to do dirty things for others before, and there were also some guys under him who did some dirty things for him that were not easy for him to handle personally.

no way.

That's life.

There will always be things that are not in line with your wishes and that you don’t like, and you may not be able to handle them yourself...

The dirty work is there.

If you don't do it and I don't do it, then who will do it?

In short.

Although I don't understand the overall situation.

But the gray-robed figure can still see some hidden factors.

This led to him being very open-minded about Rory Stanley causing trouble in his own territory.

I just thought that the other party was an unlucky guy who had no choice but to do what he wanted, and I was too lazy to pursue the issue any further.

But in fact.

He guessed right.

Rory Stanley is really an unlucky guy.

A poor fellow who has to do dirty work for his boss.

For him.

Getting rid of the target at all costs is something that must be done.

To his boss.

As long as the problem can be solved thoroughly, then even if Rory Stanley causes some problems, it is completely acceptable.

therefore.

When the [Hanhai Sea Nation] informed the other party that Rory Stanley was arrested for committing an attack in public, Rory Stanley's superiors handled the problem very quickly.

He decisively agreed to various compensations!

No bargaining at all.

Appeared to be extremely cooperative.

It was as if he had anticipated this event.

Nor was any blame or criticism given to Rory Stanley.

It just allows him to stay here peacefully until the ransom arrives, without having to worry about all kinds of messy things.

The whole thing went on smoothly indeed.

Be it the [Hanhai Sea Nation] or the force represented by Rory Stanley, none of them were bothered by the matter.

A decisive offer.

The other is to deserve it.

If someone who doesn’t know the situation saw this, they would probably think that the two parties had already agreed on the terms.

on the whole.

There is only one unlucky guy in this whole thing.

That's the guy being hunted.

But at this moment.

Neither party cared about the emotional problems of the deceased at all.

Some people just feel that death is just the right thing to do...

One party feels that the death of the other party has eliminated some future troubles for itself.

One party feels that the other party's death has brought him some property.

It is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

Even Xi Shenlian made a small profit.

but.

In a dark cell.

Both Rory Stanley and the gray robe beings understood that although the matter had come to an end, it was far from being completely over.

The peculiarity revealed by Xi Shenlian.

The obvious is not easy to ignore.
