We discreetly assessed our surroundings within Joseph's line of sight, but there were no signs of experimentation or any lingering odors in the room. It appeared as though living quarters and the experimental space were kept separate and effectively isolated.

Joseph invited us to sit on some small stools, and he asked, "Since you know who I am, you must have come prepared. So, speak your mind. What do you know about me, and why are you here?"

"Mr. Joseph, your village is near the border, right? Can't you hear anything from outside?" Anton inquired. "Right now, the werewolf city is in crisis. People are conducting experiments on living werewolves, erasing their memories, enhancing their combat abilities, and using them to form an army that might even attack us."
