The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 2061

Chapter 2061: Make Sure They’re Not Lying

Before long, the surviving perpetrators were dragged to the Guild House for interrogation, and Karl reluctantly went to meet them in the basement.

The Darklight Host didn’t actually have a proper interrogation room, or cells. But they did have an empty stone basement with a single chair in the middle, and that seemed to be enough to intimidate.

The Dark Elven Priestesses, who had volunteered for the job of interrogating prisoners to find out who they were going to ambush and why, thought that this was actually an excellent interrogation room.

Having your friends chained to the wall, while you were tied to the only chair in the room, right over the central floor drain, was an impressive psychological play.

"Alright, since the Branch Leader is too nice of a guy to do this properly, I will introduce myself. I am Anziss, High Priestess of the Spider Goddess, and I will be your interrogator today.

Let’s start with the easy questions. Why were you trying to ambush someone within Blackwoods Village, and who were you targeting?"

The prisoner tied to the chair didn’t answer for a moment, as he was much more concerned about the way that she was snapping that pair of scissors in her hand than the words coming out of her mouth.

"Are we going to have to do this the hard way? You do know that there are three more survivors, right? I don’t have to keep you."

That was enough to snap him out of it. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"High Priestess, we truly meant no insult to your territory. We were just paid to teach a lesson to an enemy of our Guild Master. We found out that he has been resting here for the last week, and has a habit of going fishing every afternoon.

Thirty minutes after we were apprehended, he should have passed by that alley, on his way to the docks.

I swear, it was nothing to do with the Darklight Host, or their interests, strictly a personal matter," the man pleaded.

"Interesting. Did you know that the Darklight Host prohibits such actions within city limits?"

"Doesn’t everyone? That’s just lip service, to keep the local Clan out of the mess. Nobody actually enforces that."

The man did have a point. Even the New Home Merchant Clan would have just looked the other way if two outside Clans got into a fight in the city, as long as it didn’t harm the locals or damage property.

It was not their business.

"The Darklight Host takes their tourist city status very seriously. All ambushes must be done outside of the city limits," the high priestess explained.

The man nodded eagerly. "Yes, High Priestess. We won’t forget."

From the wall, Karl heard one of the survivors mutter that if they were going to be so reasonable now, why did the rest of the group have to die?

But he knew the answer to that.

They had been caught by Wrath Demon security guards. Even though they were constructs, they were based on the actual demons, and people were remarkably well-behaved inside the city.

So, they were bored.
