“Yes, Mr. Campbell!” Logan replied with a salute.
“N-No. Don't send me to the Dark Prison. Please! I'm begging you. Kill me instead. I don't want to go to that place!”
Adam's legs began to tremble violently as soon as he heard Harold mention the Dark Prison.
While the average citizen didn't know what that place was, it was only natural for Gablurg's underground leader to have heard of it.
The Dark Prison was the most secretive and terrifying prison in the world.
All the people that were locked up inside there were those who had committed the most atrocious crimes imaginable.
Common folk who were imprisoned there would be tormented to death by those outlaws and normally wouldn't survive even a week in that place.
Many wealthy figures would think of ways to have their enemies locked up there.
In fact, that was what Adam had done before.
Hence, he was clearly aware of how harrowing that place was.
“Take him down there!”
Logan immediately ordered someone to drag Adam away, disregarding the latter's pleas.
“Wait, Mr. Campbell! Before I die, will you please let me see my daughter one last time? I haven't had the chance to take a good look at Charlotte ever since she came into this world!” Adam begged while struggling relentlessly in the grasp of Paradise Hotel's security guards, as though having understood that there was no escaping his fate now.
Logan turned to Harold, who pondered for a moment before nodding at the former.
Wrenna's family and the large men in black suits were absolutely floored.
They had thought that they no longer had anything to worry about after seeing their boss bring out the dragon flag.
Yet, the very same man was taken down in less than two minutes and was now on his way to the Dark Prison.
The whole group quivered in fear.
No one dared raise their heads in the face of a dark, cold gun barrel.
At that very moment, however, Wrenna and Charlotte appeared at the entrance to the Turner residence.
There was also a gun pointed against Wrenna's head as a stunning woman clad in a warrior's attire stood behind the mother and daughter.
It was none other than Carolyn.
Both Harold and Logan knew it wasn't the real Carolyn, though.
Harold had long heard from Logan that the fake God of War also had his very own members of The Four, all of whom resembled the real deal so closely in terms of both appearance and capabilities.
Meanwhile, the fake God of War also wore a mask every day, so Logan couldn't confirm if the former was the spitting image of Harold too.
That was why he initially couldn't tell whether or not he was dealing with the real God of War last night when injured.
It was only after receiving a signal from Harold that he became certain.
Harold shared a secret code sign with The Four that was not understood by anyone else.
No one else even knew it existed.
“Daddy, this lady's a meanie! I'm scared. Come save Mommy and me!” a frightened Charlotte cried out while hiding in her mother's embrace.
“So, you're the God of War who disappeared for five years? It's no wonder no one ever managed to find you. You've been mingling around in the city all this while, huh? That's a pretty clever move! Let my people go, or I'm going to kill both of them,” the fake Carolyn said to Harold, her expression turning from one of astonishment into glee.
She had easily guessed Harold's identity from the way Logan treated him so respectfully.
Adam was internally overjoyed to see the fake Carolyn show up and hold Wrenna and his daughter hostage.
