Chapter 1131: Welcome Back to your post, Elliot.
"I’m going to catch her, but I can only do so if you let me get out of here to do my job. I am not a traitor and if treason is upholding the Interpol’s mission and purpose, then I’m guilty as charged."
A moment of silence descended in the empty conference hall as if considering Elliot’s remarks. The man had been confined here since he crashed his own funeral, going through a series of interrogations. And all the purpose of the investigation was to find out where he was all the time he disappeared.
Elliot’s lips opened again, knowing he was close to getting his position back. But before he could say anything, the door suddenly flung open.
"President!" a man panicked, rushing inside the conference room and straight to Elliot. "We sighted the Reapers headed in here. We sent out most of our manpower to the 11th District."
Elliot clenched his teeth, shifting his sharp eyes to the empty seats. "Underestimating Hera Cruel will ruin everything we worked hard for years. I need to get out of here and do my job. Unless you want this headquarters to fall into the Reapers’ hands."
Another wave of silence reigned in the empty conference room until a woman spoke.
"President Dunkell is right," said the woman, making others furrow their brows as it sounded different. "He had been after felons like Hera Cruel. If there was someone in here who knew her more than anyone, that would be him."
"Who is that?" one of the voices remarked.
Elliot scanned the devices on the long table, but it was hard to detect which device that the woman was talking from with everyone speaking all at once.
