Ono spotted Kazuo’s return and asked hastily, “Mr. Kawaguchi, where should we house this woman?” Kazuo replied, “Da*n it. This woman is incredibly powerful. Lock her in the Category A prison cell!”
Ono nodded and summoned some men to bring Evangeline to the prison cells. In the meantime, Kazuo whipped off his shirt, revealing a ghastly wound across his shoulder. He stared at the wound, his gaze brimming with ferocity.
After cleaning up the wound, Kazuo headed to the prison cells. When he arrived, he waved Ono and the others away, announcing, “Everyone, get out. I have something to say to her!”
Kazuo came to a stop before Evangeline’s jail cell, which was shrouded in an arcane array designed to suppress the abilities of its prisoner. Still, Evangeline did not display the slightest hint of panic as she came face-to-face with Kazuo.
“Who are you? Why do you know secret witchcraft from thousands of years ago? Did you reincarnate in a new body? Or are you possessed by an ancient spirit?” demanded Kazuo.
Disdain flitted across Evangeline’s features as she returned, “I won’t tell you who I am. You can investigate my background if you want to know more!”
Kazuo narrowed his eyes dangerously just as a cloud of spiritual sense enveloped Evangeline.
Just as the spiritual sense darted into Evangeline’s body, it was immediately shattered by some force within her body. Stunned, Kazuo jumped backward and stammered, “W-Why isn’t your ability suppressed?”
Evangeline smirked and drawled, “These little tricks can hardly affect me.”
