Chapter 14 - To The Black Market (1)

Leon's POV

After returning from the abruptly concluded joint training, I headed to Martha's location. Using an elevator, I descended to her level. It wasn't surprising to find an elevator here, given that Amon had engineered and designed the entire building. Still, I couldn't help but be impressed by her capabilities.

Upon reaching my destination, I found myself surrounded by walls painted white. I continued forward until I reached a sight that stopped me in my tracks – Martha encased in ice. This was our way of preventing her decay.

I reached out and touched the ice, feeling its freezing cold. It was almost enough to make my fingers go numb.

After a moment, I sensed someone behind me.

"Master," Amon greeted with a bow. "Everything is ready."

I looked at her as she remained bowed. After she raised her head, she continued, "Let me lead the way."
