Chapter 74: Let’s Stop Together
Rena walked out of the gates of the Hamel Inquisition.
The dazzling sunlight outside fell onto her face, and at that moment, everything felt slightly unreal.
Three minutes ago, she had still been in the dark, cramped detention cell.
Now, she was seeing daylight again.
She felt uneasy, yet did not dare to turn around to look at Leon behind her, because Bishop Becket was standing right beside him.
Leon had told her that action would be taken today, but neither of them had expected her release to come so quickly.
According to Leon’s original estimate, even if the evidence and testimony provided by Sally could significantly reduce Rena’s suspicions and obstruct the application for a Supreme Investigation Warrant, Aaron and Bishop Becket would still have detained Rena for a period of time for several more interrogations—possibly even up to the maximum thirty-day limit.
That was under the assumption that nothing unexpected happened in their plan.
Yet in the end, on the very day Sally was imprisoned, Rena was released from the detention cell under the pretext of being released pending investigation.
