Chapter 526 That Boy Is A Mystery Huh...

"…"

"…"

"So… you are telling me that they are dragging around the people they captured with the ropes that they have… tied around their necks?"

"Y-Yes, that is correct."

Wysten nodded with a strange expression on his face.

This was his first time witnessing 2-3 people tied up and being dragged around with Ropes around their necks as if they were some dogs. To be honest, even with their limbs tied, some were trying to crawl in order to avoid choking…

Honestly, it was a frightening scene.

Wysten didn't know how Queen Evane was planning to deal with the innocents who were dragged around like spies because of a misunderstanding…

"Is this… cleanup still going on…?" Astaria questioned.

"It has slowed down, Keeve and Reeve have stopped after capturing 2 Suspects each, to be honest, they are the only ones who dragged around the suspects in a proper manner."

Wysten answered.

Inwardly, he hoped that if there are innocents amongst the spies, they should be amongst the 4 Suspects Keeve and Reeve captured.

"So… the rest of them are still going…?"

Astaria questioned.

"Yes, that man named Nux has already captured around 5 suspects…" Wysten replied.

"And those 5…?"

"Being dragged around in the same way…"

"…"

Astaria didn't know what to say.

In the end, a long sigh escaped her mouth,

"I feel bad for the Head of the Security Department, the leader of the Royal Guards, and the head of the Management Section…"

"Indeed… they have a lot to do…"

Wysten couldn't help but nod.

The three of them would be the ones to deal with all this chaos after all. He was sure that their office was already filled with complaints.

Yes, complaints against the Future Queen of the Kingdom…

Most of the people in the Royal Palace only treat Evane as a Princess, of course, after what has happened to other Princes, the only available option is her, they had a rough idea that Evane would be the next Queen, however, not many knew what had happened to the current King.

Therefore, not many of them knew that 'Princess Evane would become the Queen in the future,' actually means that 'Princess Evane would become the Queen in the next few days.'

Wysten couldn't even imagine how difficult it would be to manage and read the complaints about your future Queen.

"Should I… send some of the Shadow Unit Members to help them?"

"Do you even have the authority to do that?" Astaria questioned.

"Huh?"

Wysten frowned in confusion.

He was the lead-

He suddenly realized.

"Don't forget, the entire Shadow Unit is under her right now. Some of you might be free, however, she might order you again. Don't do anything unnecessary.

The Shadow Unit's first encounter with her is already bad enough."

"…"

Wysten turned silent.

"I already had a little chat with him."

"That is good, don't let it repeat again."

"I won't."

Wysten nodded, then, a frown appeared on his face,

"But I still don't understand."

"What?"

"Those spies… they are the people who keep a pill inside their mouth, ready to die at any moment in order to not leak any information.

People like them are extremely loyal.

I get it if 1 or 2 out of those 12 would give in to torture and would be willing to rat out their allies in order to escape it, but…

All of them?

To turn all the people, who are even willing to kill themselves for the sake of their masters, to his side…

Just what did that man do?

Torture, bribe, or is it something else?

Just how in the hell did he do it?"

No matter how hard he thought about it, Wysten couldn't come up with an answer.

"You sent one of your members with him, right? You didn't ask him?"

Astaria questioned back.

To be honest, even she was curious how that boy did it.

Actually, not just these spies, but even that General of Solid Earth Kingdom… just how did that boy manage to turn them into his side?

"I did, however, he was ordered to stop outside the prison. Other than screams, he didn't hear anything.

To be honest, from what he told me,

Those screams were straight-up horrifying.

And this was coming from a man who has tortured countless people before…"

"So it is some sort of torture huh…" Astaria nodded to herself.

"If I am being honest, I think it is something different.

The time that man took was far too less. There is no way he could torture 12 people in that much time and force them to listen to his orders."

Wysten replied.

"…"

Astaria turned silent.

"…"

Wysten didn't say anything either, he was still thinking about all this.

"That boy is a mystery huh…"

Suddenly, Astaria commented.

"It is not just him, everyone around him is the same, they are all monsters with ridiculously high Cultivation Talent, to be honest, Ember, the General of the Woods Dynasty, a prodigy dulls out when she is among those monsters.

She is the least talented in that group.

For a prodigy renowned throughout the world to seem dull when she is in that group…

One can only imagine how ridiculous that group is…"

Wysten spoke.

"Not to mention they have someone like Amaya in their group as well and this time, she is someone who is not being held back by that curse of hers.

I can't even imagine how ridiculously troublesome having the current her as her enemy might be.

The entire Thousand Information Chamber is moving as if they have been possessed.

To be honest, I sometimes fear that even our Queen might be dulled out if she stays in that group.

None of those women seems normal to me."

Hearing his words, Astaria sighed.

'If only you knew that all those women's cultivation came from that boy alone…'

Then, a small smile appeared on her face,

'I wonder what other secrets are you hiding, boy.'

"Alright, I want you to do something for me."

"Just give the command, Lady Astaria."

"3 days later…"
