"Fess up! Fess up! You're all just lowly, despicable thieves?"

....
Scarface continued to sing his tune, wanting to know the truth of the matter.
Of course, even though everything he said was what he believed, he also said it to stimulate these people into actively confessing the truth.
Why? Because after getting captured, the fact that they tried to treat his injuries made him realize that they wouldn't put him to death.
So now, all he could do was collect as much information as he possibly could while waiting for those within the T.O.E.P to recognize his absence and track him down.
And by the time they finally reached Baymard, things would definitely blow up 10... No 50 times more than what occurred today.
Dare to mess with the T.O.E.O members?
That was akin to seeking death!
Of course, there was another reason why they would orally come to Baymard.
And that was because they still had to rescue Prince Ulric out.
Yes! The T.O.E.P had already made up their mind to use that lovestruck Miss Ezenia, the former fiance of Ulric.
She was an essential chess piece that they had strategies and long planned to use in Deiferus.
That is, the leaders all the way in Morgany had taken their sweet time to plan the trajectory of how this would be in Deiferus for the next few years.
Everything was supposed to go perfectly okay. But who would've known that they would reach a stumbling block over here?
.
The more Scarface thought about it, the cruller his smile became.
This stage was the perfect stage they needed to keep that idiotic lovestruck, Pyno miss Ezenia indebted to them.
It was all in the plan.
And the same way they could put Ulric on the throne, was also the same way they could pull him down If she dared to cross them.
So it was sort of like holding Ulrich hostage.
And she, who loved him more than her life, would definitely become their puppet.
They needed her as an obedient puppet and nothing more.
After all, she was a woman. And even though she joined the T.O.E.P, they never intended to look at her the same way they looked at a man.
Moreover, Pyno women were inferior.
Look... They only gave respect to T.O.E.P females from high-ranking continents.
Pyno was and would always be garbage.
So, that Ezenia would undoubtedly be a puppet. And that's all she could be. No more, no less.
But of course, she wouldn't even realize that she was a puppet because, in Pyno, she would still be higher than the rest.
She would be higher than many influential men in Pyno and get away with a lot over here.
More importantly, her influence and power would also help her man firmly secure things in Deiferus.
So bottom line, she would be one of the hidden top movers and shakers in Pyno.
From openly hosting several Morg visitors and showing that she had some connections, do you know how envious and in awe those here would feel?
.
Poor thing.
They would keep her like that, the same way they kept so many Pyno members.
And these people would also feel as though they were too blessed to be members.
What's more, even after seeing the prominent T.O.E.P members in other continents, they would only feel that things should be this way.
Again, even though it was hard as hell, they did have chances to climb up the T.O.E.p member classes.
So... They would only feel that the reason why they're still in that position was that they didn't do much compared to others.
Heh.
Ezenia was to be their next Pyno puppet. And funny enough, by the end of it all, she would even be too pleased to be one.
This was their brainwashing.
Of course, throughout the T.O.E.P establishment centuries ago, there had indeed been 3 or 4 people who weren't that easy to fool.
Of course, Alec Barn was amongst these people.
And before him, the last person was something from over 300 years ago.
Once in a while, stubborn people like these popped out every now and then.
But Alec was the first Pyno member to go so far up the class ranks.
And if he were still alive, he probably would've gotten way higher, despite the fact that he garnered hatred from the majority of members.
They hated him, but they knew that he was essential if they wanted some things in Arcadina done.
He was both annoying and very efficient at what he did.
One could say that his results and yields were always exceptionally great. And this was what annoyed them the most because he, from this desolate continent, was almost standing shoulder to shoulder with some other lesser but great continents... Like Veinitta.
.
Anyway, freeing Ulric was too important to let go
So, you best believe that when they don't return, more and more people will come to do the same job.
And if more accidents occur, what do you think the T.O.E.P would do then?
Heh. The results would be disastrous!
That's why Scarface provoked these people, hoping to get some information out of them.
Again, he had a hunch that they might lock him in that prison.
So wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to study the place, find the location where the mysterious Morg is being locked up and flee the place the captured Morg altogether?
Hmhm.
This was not the first time he had been captured before
Please! Sometimes, he would purposefully get captured just to infiltrate a place, only to flee the scene intact later on.
So he felt that even though these people had strange technologies, if he could understand how the place worked and even master the way, then fleeing shouldn't be a problem.
Additionally, it looked like there was still a chance for him to walk. So all he needed to do was heal properly before executing his grand escape.
Good!

Scarface calmed his kind after thinking things through.
Gather info, break free, flee… before coming back for revenge!
