Dungeon

Narrator's POV

Reid and Bren have finally arrived in the Crimson Town after their dangerous mission in the Military Town of Viols. They rode the Harpy Squad of Bubba. After some travel time, they were welcomed by Wreck at night.

"So how was the mission, Reid? Bren? Did you accomplish your goal?" Wreck asked.

"Yeah, but we should talk about it at the Union Building. We need to still make this quest confidential." Bren replied.

"Alright."

Then the group went towards the meeting room at the Union Building.

"Wait, where is Sir Tran?" Reid asked.

"He already went back home to Rhine Town since it was night already. We can just call him here tomorrow. Now that we are private, fill me in with the situation." Wreck said.

"Alright, here is what happened," Reid said as he narrates his experiences earlier today.

"Great Job Reid and Bren! That was a really successful quest." Wreck praised.

"Thanks, but what do we do next then?" Bren asked.

"Right. We still need to do the next step. Let me tell you this. We will be gathering evidence with all the seeds we planted." Wreck vaguely described.

"Wh-What do you mean Sir Wreck? Can't you fully explain it to us?" Reid asked.

"Right Wreck! Tell us!" Bren added.

"No, it is better if we discuss it tomorrow with Tran. You also need to rest for a bit. Now you can go home. Bren, I will order Bubba to send you to Norman Town. You are now dismissed."

"Alright."

"Huh.... I guess this is it for today."

The two then left after being denied to be told about the plan. Wreck is left alone in the meeting room wandering.

"I just hope that Minister Mello won't find out about this. He really is a very shrewd man."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Minister Mello Lasterson is at his office at the Centre Capital of the Kingdom of Zione finishing his job late at night when his men led by Vaughn arrived.

"We are finally here boss!" Vaughn declared.

"Oh. So how was the investigation, Vaughn?" The Minister asked.

"It went pretty well, just like you ordered sir," Vaughn replied.

"No! I was asking about the results!" Mello shouted.

"Oh right right. The squad said that they have severed their ties with their Captain Reid and his family but sir...."

"What is it?!?!"

"For some reason, I don't believe them."

"How can you say that?!"

"The Squad members were looking really nervous as we interrogate them. It seems like they are hiding something from us."

"Oh? That is interesting. Then you better watch out for them."

"No problem sir!"

"You are now dismissed!"

"Wait, sir! We still have something to say!" Vaughn screamed.

"Oh, what is it now!"

"Uhm... Earlier this afternoon I fought a tall freak while we are finding the squad."

"Tall freak?! What was his motive?" The minister asked as he was intrigued.

"I do not know sir, but he is really tall and pale. He did not look like a human."

Mello paused for a while as he is deep in his thoughts.

"Hmmm... Any other information?"

"That was all of it, sir!"

"Then get out!"

"Yes sir!"

After the lackeys left, The minister is still thinking hard.

"A tall freak fought them as they were finding the squad. If I think about this rationally, that freak would probably from other races. Probably an elf or something. But why would an elf distract our mission??"

"Wait, the nearest elf town here is in the Union?!?! Don't tell me?!?!"

At that moment, Minister Mello Lasterson found out something really huge.

-THE NEXT DAY-

Minister Mello is currently with Vaughn as they walked towards the Prisoners' Dungeon. The place where all of the criminals of the Kingdom are placed after they are sentenced. It is located underground below the Centre Capital.

"Uhm.... Why are we going to the Dungeon boss?" Vaughn asked.

"We still need to find out something," Mello replied.

After a while, they were welcomed by the Warden of the Jail, Isac.

"Welcome to my beautiful place Minister Lasterson!" The warden proudly declared.

"Thank you, Warden, although I do not really consider this place beautiful. Now tell me where are cells of those criminals?!"

"No need to be so stiff sir! Don't worry! I will be guiding you there!" Isac cheerfully replied.

Isac, Mello, and Vaughn then headed to their desired location led by the Warden. They are surrounded by different types of criminals everywhere here.

"Boss! This place is disgusting!" Vaughn whispered at Mello's ear.

"Be quiet! We did not come here to rate this place. We need to do our job!"

"We have now arrived minister! The cells of the Habsber Family!!"

"Thank you, warden. You may now go."

"Alright. Make sure to tell me when you are leaving!"

Then the warden set off to do his duties.

The minister slowly walked towards the solitary cell of the former head of the Habsber Family, Edgar Habsber.

"Why are you here scum?!?!" Edgar loudly spouted as he tried to spit at Mello but failed.

"Hahahahahaha! Looks like you still have a lot of energy Edgar, even though you will be dead in less than two weeks from now."

"Of course. I still need to beat you up, you framing bastard!" Edgar taunted.

"Oh god, I am so scared! HAHAHA HAHAHA!!!! Now let me calm myself down. How is your solitary life doing Edgar?!"

"Get to the point bastard! Why are you here?! What is your goal here?!"

"Not really, I just want to check you out. Are you doing well after you got separated from your wife and daughter?!"

"WHAT?!!! DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO LEA AND RILEY?!?!" Edgar furiously screamed.

"No of course not. They are doing well but just on a different cell."

"You better take care of them and not kill them as you did to my son!!!!!!"

Mello smiled.

"Now we are talking!!!"

"Wh-what did you say?!"

"Oh, nothing. But let me tell you this, what if your precious son Reid is still alive?"
