The banquet was being held on the surface, but in reality there was something else that I had to do.
It wasnât just me alone that had something else to do, it was something that most of the people in the banquet hall had to do.
That was why it wasnât a problem for me to slip away.
The others also wanted to come with me, but they couldnât since it wasnât as if there was that much space in the place that I was heading to.
This was a place that was deep under the ground, a place that was hidden far from sight.
It was the kind of place where one put things that they didnât want anyone to discover.
Such as...
"How long will you keep me locked up in here? Let me die already!"
As I stared through the bars in the door, I couldnât help thinking that he looked quite good. In fact, it didnât seem like he had been injured at all with how perfect his body seemed.
But I knew that this was all the result of him being healed by magic.
After all, I had been there watching as he had been tortured by the different representatives of the racial alliance.
The fact that he looked complete now just went to show how good the healing magic was.
The one I was referring to was naturally the former president of the Democratic Union.
One might think that it was a bad idea to keep him in a cell that was so close to the place where he once ruled, but it was actually the best place if one wanted to let him see everything he worked so hard for crumble under him.
It was the best way to make him accept the reality of the situation, to let him know that he really didnât have a single thing left.
Once that reality sunk in, that was when I wanted to appear in front of him.
Judging by what he was saying, it seemed that the reality of the situation had indeed sunk in as he wanted to die.
But before he could die, there was something that we needed from him.
That was the main reason why he was still alive in the first place.
After watching him go on like this for a bit, that was when I finally opened the door and walked in.
The moment that the former president of the Democratic Union saw me, the first thing that he said was, "Youâre finally here. Letâs get this over with already. Youâve won, so just end it."
The look in his eyes, the way that he spoke, everything about him seemed to be saying that he was done with life.
After all, he didnât have a single thing left to his name and even if he were to get out of this place, there really wasnât a place left for him.
In the end, the best choice for him was to die.
Only I wouldnât let that happen so easily.
"Before you get your release, thereâs something that I have to ask you."
The former president of the Democratic Union gave a sigh before saying, "Just ask already, what else do I have left?"
With a nod, I said, "How did you manage to contact the forces of Destruction?"
The former president of the Democratic Union was surprised to hear this before suddenly revealing a smile.
I couldnât help looking at him with a strange look since this was a strange smile that appeared on his face.
I couldnât help shaking the strange feeling since it almost felt like he was taunting me with how he looked at me.
"Try and get the information from me. You can do all that you want, but you wonât get it in the end." He suddenly said while he began to laugh.
It was a strange kind of laughter, almost as if he had achieved one final victory in the end.
I didnât say anything as I narrowed my eyes to look at him.
With the way that he was acting, it wasnât hard to guess why he was acting this way.
In the end, if I had to act as a villain...
"Then say it. I can already guess what will happen if you say it, so just do it and get it over with."
The former president of the Democratic Union suddenly stopped laughing when he heard this before he looked at me with a blank look in his eyes. Though looking closely, I could see the trace of fear that was there.
Even though he knew what would happen to him, he was also afraid.
After all, there was no telling what would happen to him if he died like that.
He was afraid that he would have to suffer even more after dying.
Slowly the former president of the Democratic Union said, "Stop playing and just get it over with already."
But I refused to listen to him as I said, "Go on. Tell me what you know, or at least try. If youâre not willing, we have plenty of ways to make you want to talk."
The former president of the Democratic Union trembled when he heard this.
The look on his face showed the desperation that he felt before he said, "How can you do something like this?"
Seeing that I didnât say anything in response, he said, "You act like a hero, but this is your true face isnât it? Youâre nothing more than a villain!"
"Youâre the one that forced me to act this way, donât you know? If it wasnât for the fact that you betrayed the racial alliance, would we have needed to go this far?" I just had a cold look on my face as I said this to him.
"You...you...you..." The face of the former president of the Democratic Union twisted when he heard this.
Eventually, it relaxed before he said, "You will not die a good death."
