Truly Headache-Inducing

The next afternoon, in the warden office.

"...That's the general situation. Prisoner 3397, the witch Priscilla, has returned to normal and no longer requires special monitoring standards. The alert level has been reset to red. I will handle the coordination with the Inquisition Bureau. And I have already informed the day shift, through Franda. Make sure to relay this information to the night shift and all members of your riot squad." Aiden informed Veronica, who stood before him.

Priscilla had recovered from her "amnesia" and transformed back into the powerful witch skilled in mental spells. It was essential that this news be disseminated to all personnel in the core area, and Veronica was the captain of the fourth riot control squad responsible for the core area.

"Understood," Veronica respectfully saluted. "I never expected such a significant event to occur in my absence. I regret not being able to assist..."

"It couldn't be helped. After all, it's been a full moon these past two days," Aiden chuckled warmly. "You should head back to your post."New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"Okay," but instead of leaving the office immediately, she seemed hesitant.

"What's the matter?" Aiden sensed that she had something to ask.

After much hesitation, Veronica cautiously spoke up, "Um, earlier during the patrol in the garden area, I overheard some strange discussions among the prisoners. It seemed to be about you, Chief Warden..."

"You mean they were talking about me taking prisoners 3307 and 3397 out?" Aiden grasped the situation immediately. "I used Fei abilities to investigate that matter. Any strange rumors are because Fei caused trouble upon her return, leading to her current confinement."

"Ah... I see." Veronica exhaled in relief, then saluted. "I'll take my leave now."

Aiden nodded as he watched her leave the office, and leaning back in his chair.

After reporting to the Inquisition Bureau in the morning, Priscilla's case had come to a temporary close, leaving only some loose ends. With his own tasks completed for the moment, he could take a brief rest.

As he settled his mind, yesterday's words from Mephilia resurfaced in his thoughts.

Despite appearing as the guardian while Mephilia seemed like his prisoner, due to the unequal distribution of information between them, he was actually the one in a passive position.

Accepting Mephilia advice blindly, without understanding her true intentions, clearly carried risks. What if her encouragement to become a dominator concealed ulterior motives...

With these thoughts in mind, Aiden took a moment to steady himself.

At present, it wasn't necessary to look too far ahead. Whether worrying about when the founder of the Blood Moon Cult might return or speculating on Mephilia true intentions, he found himself unable to take any decisive actions.

Even if he resolved to become a dominator, obtaining divinity and the divine language was no easy taskPriscilla and Dailey had both pursued divinity in vain.

When considering where to begin the search for divinity and the divine language, the Witch's Gathering was the only lead he could think of. After all, whether it was his knowledge of the divine language or the technique of speaking it, it all ultimately stemmed from the Witch's Gathering.

However, actively seeking to gather divinity and the divine language through the Witch's Gathering was akin to courting death.

Abigail, Lamia, and Chimera, the three powerful witches, were controllers of the divine language. Dailey once described Abigail as being close to godhood. She was likely, much like the individual Mephilia referred to as "that person," who was on the brink of attaining the authority of a dominator.

Regarding the other two individuals, they were probably no less formidable. After the Blood Moon Cult suffered setbacks against the Witch's gathering, they quickly fell in line. Not to mention the Blood Moon Cult, even the Inquisition Bureau never harbored intentions of targeting Abigail.

In addition to them, there were Vera and Hasbinis, who were also grand witches on par with Dailey and Priscilla.

The Witch's gathering itself pursued the divine language and divinity. While the divine language could be shared, divinity was limited. If they were to discover that Aiden possessed divinity...

For him now, the Witch's Gathering was definitely not an organization to be trifled withalthough, to some extent, he had already stirred the pot.

"This is truly a headache!" he slumped in his chair, and letting out a deep sigh.

Is it really this difficult to live well in a different world?
