Scarface felt as though a big rock had been dropped off his shoulder the more he thought of things.
Heh.
Maybe this was heaven's way of letting him find the Captured Morg.
At first, he did plan to only rescue Ulric before returning on a later notice to save the captured Morg.
But it seemed as though destiny and fate wanted him to stay back in Baymard, just to find out all he could for Morgany's interest.
Additionally, he had been given the opportunity to enter the same place where the mysterious captured Morg was hidden.
So wasn't this the will of the Heavens?
Now, he only hoped that he would be placed in the same dungeon cell with his men who survived tonight's battle.
In this way, they would be able to communicate and work things out together.
One should know that when talking about the prison cells, Scarface thought they were similar to the regular dungeon cells because.
After all, who would spend time and resources to better a place where the enemy was locked up?
That didn't make any sense!
Heh.
If the Baymardians knew his thoughts, they would only roll their eyes to the .sky
Okay. It might not make sense to him.
But to them, the dungeons in this period were breaking not 1, not 2, but over 20 different health codes and violations alone!
And that wasn't the half of things because apart from health violations, human rights and several aspects were also considered in Baymard.
So it might be dumb to Scarface, but to them, it was necessary.
.
In essence, it was a given that during this era, dungeons or prison cells were dark, smelly, gloomy, with several rodents and rats all around.
Mould, bacteria, fungi, and all sorts of things crawled within these places.
To put it simply, it was a disease-infested place where people pooped and peed on the floors or in buckets if necessary.
And what was so messed up was that they still had to eat their food within that same cell.
At times, their food would sometimes be thrown on the ground mercilessly, making them lick and eat off the floors.
Other times, they wouldn't be given any food at all and would have to bite and eat dirty fat rats raw, not even caring whether these things carried diseases or not.
In desperate times, some prisoners turned into cannibals, especially when someone within the cell died.
Don't joke with the seriousness of the dungeon setup.
There, the prisoners got treated in any fashion the guards wanted, unless those from above told them not to.
Bottom line, prisons were intentionally done in this way to intimate prisoners and make them feel as though they were going through hell.
This was the sort of prison lifestyle that Scarface was used to seeing.
So no matter how nice the outside of the Baymardian prison looked, he felt that the prison should be no different from what he was used to.
After all, even glorious and eye-stunning royal palaces that shone with beauty, still had dungeons hidden away within their property.
Like so, Scarface secretly made his plans for the future, feeling as though everything could at best be described as destiny, or a sign from the heavens, telling him to infiltrate the prisons and gather everything he could.
Yes! He was the chosen one!
(*^*)
....
Even after thinking things through, Scarface still continued provoking the Baymardians into 'confessing.'
"Com'on! Fess up! Fess up, you yellow-belly thieves. I know what you've done!"
Everyone stopped paying attention to him as they hauled him away and secured him aboard one of the hot air balloons.
So far, they only had 26 prisoners.
The rest were all dead!
And just like that, the curtains were lowered, and the action on the scene was finally over.
But while things came to an end here, in several other areas around Baymard, the heat was still on!
That's right.
At the moment, the police were all over the place, keeping a lookout just in case more crime was committed tonight.
Yes. The hostage had been safely retrieved.
But who's to say that there were other enemies around?
As for the hostage, his entire body was covered with purplish bruises.
It looked like he had been punched and hit hard multiple times.
And the culprits for this were 2 other intruders who stood guard and kept an eye on him.
From the looks of things, it's estimated that if Scarface and the others didn't return by a certain period, these men would've probably killed the hostage and fled Baymard to report all their findings.
Because at that time, it would be assumed that the plan didn't go well, and the others were in danger.
Hmhm.
These men had long thought about things, as well as their method of escape from Baymard.
But that was even the most hilarious thing of all.
.
You see, these men honestly thought that they would be able to take Ulric out and leave via land without getting detected.
For one, Ulric didn't have any passport or documents that would make him bypass port security.
So how?
How were they going to do all this?
Could it be that they had some other ingenious plan that they, the Baymardians, had overlooked?
In life, no system was 100% guaranteed. There was always room for improvement. So could it be that the mere was a blind spot in their defences?
All these assassins kept coming in and challenging them at will, as though they could flee all the checkpoints and escape the Capital city.
So what was giving them this confidence?
It could also be that these people underestimated them due to their egos and thought they could bypass security without so much as a hassle.
Or, it could be that they did have some master plan in action.
So either way, they had to find out everything for themselves.
Additionally, they still had to retrieve these people's weapons that had been kept away at the port.
And, they would also have to retrieve all their luggage at the hotel they were staying at.
Sigh... Tonight, there was just so much to do.
But fortunately, the crisis was contained.
And Landon, who was now drinking his wedding wine with his guests, finally received the news from another guard nearby.
Good. It was finally over!
