Chapter 288: Location

In the dimly lit confines of their makeshift interrogation room, Caden faced Solan, who sat restrained, his expression a blend of defiance and uncertainty. The data slate with its universe warp capabilities lay prominently on a rough table, its presence an unspoken threat.

"Where is the lab that created these?" Caden's voice was calm but carried an undercurrent of urgency.

Solan's eyes flickered towards the data slate, then back to Caden. He hesitated, weighing his options. "What does it matter to you? You're not even from this universe," he spat out, his tone laced with contempt.

Caden leaned forward slightly, his gaze steady. "That's exactly why it matters. This technology poses a threat to my universe, and I intend to neutralize it."

Solan smirked, a hint of arrogance in his demeanor. "Do you really think I'd just tell you?"

Aeliana interjected, her voice firm. "We're not playing games here, Solan. The fate of entire universes could be at stake."
