Chapter 337 - 329. A Trace of Darkness
With Han Shin in tow, Bassena drove to Mortix Hill. But instead of the main building Zein usually visited, the car headed toward a passage leading to the inside of the hill.
They were heading to the dungeon.
"Why there? I thought we’d agreed to not interrogate him?" Zein asked. "Not that I mind, just curious."
"Because it’s secure, even more than Trinity," Bassena said. "And in case they tried to do something, we had enough containment system there."
"I see," Zein nodded. "So, Radia is fetching them?"
"Yeah,"
About half an hour ago, Radia suddenly got a call from Darleon. Looking at the time, it seemed like the old man took a whole night to contemplate things. Radia had thought the call would only bring an answer to the deal, but instead, it was like a call for an emergency dispatcher; the old man had asked if Radia could take Varion out of Rexon without anyone noticing.
"What if it’s a trap from the other side?"
"Then we’ll commence an all-out attack," Bassena shrugged. "Radia said the old man had to be such a good actor if that’s the case, because his voice sounds desperate--or so he told me."
"So Radia will go over himself through his portal?"
"His summon’s portal," Bassena corrected. "Well, that’s the easiest way to do the whole undetected thing," he paused, before adding grimly. "It’s fortunate that no one had that kind of skill during your...abduction."
