Chapter 103 Part 2: Interrogation
Underground Prison,
By hearing the answer from old man Marcus, Mr. Lauren too believed instantly. Instead of calling it gossiping, we can say this information is somewhat in line with their speculation.
Mr. Laurenz turned towards Wizard Eva and asked, "Ms. Eva , What do you think?" He feels Ms. Eva has high experience when it comes to dealing with this type of issue.
Wizard Eva retracted her thoughts and commented, "I feel it's more likely true." Her expression was extremely solemn. Like some sense of worry has occupied her heart.
Then Mr. Laurenz nodded and continued to ask questions. The interrogation went for hours. But no important information came from his mouth except two credible pieces of information.
1. Killian Hoffer's order to kill Vincent Carey.
2. Leon Willy is going to handle a new branch of Poison Dagger.
Seeing there is no more information coming from old rogue Marcus' mouth. Wizard Eva understands that the old rogue has confessed everything. There is nothing more to ask here.
She opened her mouth to say, "I believe, we can stop now. There is nothing more to ask here."
Mr. Laurenz blinked his eyes, he almost forgot he is the one who is supposed to be in incharge. But still he doesn't want to offend Poison Wizard Eva. Then He nodded and answered, "Okay. Ms. Eva. We have enough information in our hands. And the old man is likely told everything.""
Wizard Eva nodded and then both of them walked out the person's cell and met Prison Guard Eanbald.
"It took longer than I thought," Mr. Eanbald said.
He has been watching since the beginning of the interrogation. Some of the information terrified him, especially Poison Dagger's new branch.
If it's true then everyone is going to break out in cold sweat. The pressure among their government will be going to increase tremendously.
Wizard Eva commented, "The atmosphere in our country is going to usher in tremendously change. We better stop them before it becomes a safe haven for all rogue wizards in the country."
Mr. Eanbald sighed. In this situation there is hardly anything they can do. It's going to be a battle between level-4 wizards.
Then everyone exited the underground Prison cell.
Mr. Eanbald went back to his cabin after separating from them.
Then Wizard Eva too left for her department. She already done her part. It's up to higher ups now.
Mr. Luarenz walked into the 5th floor via lift. Thankfully, the whole interrogation was done before the afternoon. Otherwise, Dept Head would have reprimanded him greatly.
From a little bit of conversation earlier he had with the Dept head. He understands that the head is under tremendous pressure. What kind of pressure made level-5 wizard like their head to worry about?
As a level-2 wizard he couldn't imagine. He thought it would be best for himself not to be involved in this. He couldn't even fathom the magic power of Ms. Eva let alone level-4 & level -5 existence.
But only one thing made him worry about the healing condition of Captain Tyler. There is no sign of improvement. Earlier, He had asked an old rogue about the antidote. But the old rogue refuted immediately. How come existence like him knows anything?
Shaking his head, he stride faster towards Dept Head's cabin.
"Creak" the door opens
Mr. Laurenz found Dept Head in his cabin. "Looks like he never left his cabin. Probably have waited for my report " He thought to himself.
Then he sat in the opposite seat to report.
"By looking at you at this time. I can see you have done the interrogation right?" Dept Head Billy asked.
Mr. Laurenz nodded and began to explain everything from the start.
Dept Head's eyes flicker with surprise when he hears about Killian Hoffer. With his experience he knows this is not a simple matter. Assassination attempt on that kid is separate incident to that of Captain Tyler's mission.
This doesn't solve anything, it only adds onto the puzzle more. Only Killian Hoffer could answer this puzzle. Why did he want to kill Vincent Carey? By thinking about it old man Billy's brow tensed further.
There were so many things on his plate.
First they need to deal with Leon Willy. Second, they need to cure Captain Tyler as soon as possible. 3. Assassination attempt on Vincent Carey.
Earlier he didn't mind about the nameless kid. But after looking through his information. He caught surprisingly the most impressive information. Yellow River Academy admitted this kid into their faction.
After reading that specific information, he somewhat understands why Tyler recruited him in his team. That's why he don't want to show negligence on the matters related to Big Faction.
But in every situation the priority comes first. Right now the government wants him to take down Leon Willy. So he only put matters regarding Vincent Carey back off his mind for now.
Then Mr. Laurenz continued to inform about the hearsay information provided by old man Marcus. He even included the interruption of Wizard Eva and her cross-question.
Wizard Billy didn't offend by Ms. Eva's action. In Fact she did the right thing. Otherwise the prisoner would have only told what he consider to be credible information.
Yet due to her sudden cross questioning, even seemingly unnecessary things turn out to be credible information, they even got some clues from it.
"That girl is clever as ever." Wizard Billy muttered to himself.
While tapping his desk the old man begins to ponder, on the one hand he kept listening to the report. The other hand he begins to weigh the worth of hearsay information.
New branch of Poison Dagger doesn't sound good at all. He begins to draw lines with Leon Willy's recent action. "If that guy is really preparing to do some forbidden experiment, then what could be the best place than the new branch's location for him?" Wizard Billy said in his heart.
With his experience he understands wizards like Leon Willy. These types of Wizards will do everything to succeed in their research. They are not the type of Wizards who are interested in power and position.
"Something fishy about it." He grunted.
Next, Mr. Laurenz reported a few other things before the conversation came to an end.
Mr. Laurenz left the cabin after reporting.
"Sigh"
"Trouble," Wizard Billy said.
"We should have eliminated him when he conducted his first forbidden experiment. The government didn't show any concern. But now things have gone out of our heads because of our carelessness." He said to himself.
There is also something about Tyler's condition. He also received updates from Wizard Mitchell regarding Tyler's condition. There is no improvement yet. Wizard Mitchell is doing his best to protect the mana core.
Next second, he tapped his desk.
Like a spell, several runic pentagrams on his desk begin to light up. Then a huge projection screen appears above the runic circle. In that screen huge mad can be seen, widely depicting the area of Red Province.
Wizard Billy's eyes flickered while he map size to look at their state's land size.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
There are numerous provinces in our state. Our Red Province alone is huge. Where will I find those ghosts? The movements of Poison Dagger can be seen all around their seat. The Red Province is their main hideout.
Now there is going to be a new branch. Wizard Billy speculates that the location of their branch is going to be in another state in their country. Not in their own state.
If it is in another state, then the problem is going to be more severe. They need the cooperation of another government in that state. And the search for their hideout will become even more tricky.
Wizard Billy's expression has become even more grave.
If it's another country, then their own government won't pressure them that much. But the probability of finding of any antidote will become hard. Then it will become impossible to cure Tyler.
His complexion becomes solemn while thinking about it.
After calming down himself, he begins to plan.
At first they need to search their entire Red Province. Then their search should be slowly extended to other provinces. And finally a terrible net should be laid in the entire country.
He firmly believes if strongly planned then the entire slippery group can be caught.
After gaining some clarity he calmed down his nerves. The map of their entire country gives him fright. In every state some level-5 existence can be seen in charge of the government administration.
Because not every province has level 5 Wizards sitting in incharge. In some backward provinces even the presence of some level 4 Wizards is considered as great.
So in their entire country the number of level-5 Wizards in government should be less than 200 in numbers. These numbers only include their government's side. Not other several independent factions.
But the majority of them in the government were ordinary level-5 Wizards. Even Level-4 Leon Willy can kill them with ease. That's why the government feels the existence of wizard Leon Willy is like a constant headache to them. If not solved now then the threat will be greater in future.
And talking about level-6 wizards in the government, Wizard Billy doesn't know about it. He predicts the number should be counted in fingers.
