Chapter 69: Only One Can Live
Father Auden was deeply puzzled by Leon’s reaction.
When an important witness was captured, wasn’t choosing to kill the witness to silence them common practice in their line of work?
Especially for a man who killed without blinking, a man who, once driven mad, could even put his own life on the gambling table—wasn’t this nothing out of the ordinary? He had previously even killed the Director of the Inquisition just to silence someone!
Countless people were tormented by the inability to kill witnesses imprisoned in jail, yet Leon now possessed uniquely favorable conditions.
Father Auden could not understand why Leon looked as though the thought had only just occurred to him.
Now, as long as the Witch died in prison, the matter would be resolved.
Even a miracle of omniscience had to take a living person as its subject to function; the Church had no way to trace him through a corpse.
No one knew how many Witches had committed suicide by poison while imprisoned.
They could refine all kinds of bizarre magical beast poisons, and some even personally possessed special abilities related to poison.
