Everyone was stunned.
“Prison break?”
“James, what’s the purpose of this prison break?”
Everyone glanced at James in confusion.
James looked at James and asked, “You grew up in the Dark Castle and were once an SSS-ranked assassin, right? I’m assuming that you know the founder is Blake, correct?”
“Yeah.”
May nodded. Hearing Blake’s name mentioned, her face immediately became grim, saying, “I’ve got a vague understanding of him. Blake relied on vicious and ruthless methods to achieve his goals. Those who disobeyed or betrayed him met gruesome deaths. Ultimately, he was captured a few years ago.”
After the explanation, she looked at James in disbelief. “James, could it be you’re trying to save him?”
James nodded and confirmed her thoughts, “Precisely. I need to save him. I was poisoned, and he immediately identified it as Gu. He claimed to know how to detoxify the venom and would help me. In exchange, he wanted to be set free.”
Everyone listened silently.
James explained, “Three days from now, the King of Sol, the chief executive, secretary general, and commander of the Red Flame army, will be leaving the Capital. This is our only chance. We’ve only got three days for preparation.”
May could not help but shoot down the plan. “Blake is imprisoned in the Capital’s underground prison along with countless other dangerous criminals. Fully-armed Red Flame Army soldiers guard the whole place. At least ten thousand of them are standing on guard outside the prison. How are we possibly going to get him out?”
“That’s why we need a plan.”
James racked his brain. He had a small party, and they could not win a direct conflict with the fully-armed Red Flame army. One small fight and the entire Red Flame army in the Capital would swarm in to support the fight.
After a while, James instructed, “You all stay here for now and wait for my order.”
“Understood.”
Everyone nodded.
James waved his hand and dismissed them. “Go and rest.”
The Elite Eight left the room simultaneously.
James glanced at Quincy, still sitting in his room, and chased her away, “You, go out too.”
“Oh, okay.”
Quincy stood up and walked out of the room.
James took out his phone and sent a message to Gloom.
[I need a map of the prison,] he texted.
Soon, Gloom sent the complete map of the prison where Blake was detained. James carefully studied the map sent by him.
The prison was built underground, with only one entrance guarded by fully-armed Red Flame army soldiers.
James thought about it for a while and opened up the map on his phone to check the prison's layout.
