BXBX NOVEL Chapter 240 Man In Black
"...I don\'t know if this will help anything, but Fishbones have also disappeared, and the guy responsible for guarding him found slaughtered…" spoke one of the seven giants in charge of the circus, or now one could say: one of the three remaining ones...
"Fishbones? Ahaa, the new race you were trying to sell at an unofficial auction before the attack began?" The guard spoke as if he remembered something
A chill hit the giant\'s spine when he heard the word *unofficial*, this was a punishment worthy of amputation of limbs or even death!
"Hmm, maybe someone who wanted to buy your Fishbones had killed the guy that was carrying him and kidnapped him, we can ignore this now." The guard spoke and seemed to be writing something.
"Boss, come look here." One of the other guards at the scene called out, and the man who had been investigating the giants verbally moved toward the location of the cage.
When he arrived the guard pointed to him on the floor of the cage where there was a pile of 5 handcuffs and many meters of chains piled on top of each other, the chief guard raised his eyebrow and then looked at the three giants for an explanation.
"This... these have been all over the demon\'s body ever since we bought him and we have never taken them off, doesn\'t matter if he eats or sleeps or even when he performs on the stage, the cuffs and chains have always been on him!!" Someone spoke in surprise and fear
"These chains weren\'t broken, they were opened with a key…." The chief of guard spoke slowly, "Maybe the person who caused the explosions was the one who unlocked them?"
"No, no, no, a stranger would move under our noses and not pay attention to him? impossible? even if we the dumb ones couldn\'t spot him, what about the boss and the other strong ones in the audience?" another shout
"Hmm.. so whoever opened these handcuffs was someone who was already with you at the time of the explosion, someone you could not suspect doing such a thing, someone whose presence was basically ignored even as he unlocked the handcuffs one by one…" the head guard spoke and looked away from the handcuffs towards the three giants, and then towards the human girls...
Just one look almost killed some of them in fear
"This…." The three giants looked at the girls in surprise, then with great hatred, before one of them lowered the knife and advanced, "You are the ones who caused this?! I will kill you all!!"
"AHH!!" The human girls all screamed and closed their eyes, waiting for their inevitable fate
But before the giant lowered his dagger on the first girl\'s head the chief of guard stopped him, before speaking to the girls with a smile, "Do any of you have something to say?"
The girls looked at each other but did not say a word.
The chief of the guard did not press them anymore and looked back in the cell, toward the rest of the prisoners, "Does any of you have something to say? Whoever gives me a piece of evidence I can use, I will release him."
"But sir--!!" One of the three giants tried to intervene, collecting these guys wasn\'t easy!
But the chief of the guard signaled him to be silent and continued to look at the prisoners for a few seconds, until the old woman with branches and leaves spoke and pointed at Laurie, "It is that girl... She came here and removed the handcuffs of the demon, I asked her to undo my handcuffs as well but she ignored me, Hmph!"
"Oh? Now that\'s interesting.." The chief of guard smiled and looked back at Laurie, and then he walked to a man that was standing at the side, wearing a black cloak that hid his head and face, and started speaking with him in low voice.
Then the man in black came to Laurie and started raining questions, "What is your relationship to the causer of these explosions? who was he? which terrorist group are you from? how did you know the real identity of the head of the caravan? do you all think this will affect our mission?!"
Laurie took a few steps back, she didn\'t understand anything, but in her fright, she forgot how to breath
The worst possible scenario has recently occurred... There is no escape today from these guys!
The chief guard also took a few steps toward her, "Betraying your masters and helping a stranger terrorize a city for the Nihari giants, do you know the punishment for your act?"
"Oh, I didn\'t, I --" Laurie tried to say anything to get out of the situation, but his mind had stopped working.
"You are still trying to deny it? So what about you? Do you have anything you want to say?" The chief of guard ignored her and looked at the rest of the girls
But they looked down and neither of them said anything
The man in the black cloak raised his hand as a gesture to stop, then spoke "It doesn\'t matter... We don\'t need useless humans to complete our investigations, we will take down the terrorist group of yours as we did to many before!"
The smile on the head of the guard disappeared, then he signaled to a number of guards, "Take the human women and sell them to the intelligent creatures restaurant in the city, their price should be enough to repair the damage caused by the explosions."
"Ahh!"
"No, no, please no!!"
"Move bitch, more!!"
The girls collapsed on the ground, between shock, disbelief, and hysterical crying...
But in the end, they started to move after the guards started beating them with whips that were cutting through their bodies
A hundred meters away, in an alley --
"Dammit... Dammit!!" Robin clenched his fist tightly, it appeared like he was going to break it
The reason for him standing here until now is to find an opportunity to smuggle Laurie and the rest of the girls...
It was natural that they would be suspected, he thought they will be deported to prison or something, but an immediate decision to make them meat source?!
And not only Laurie... If she was alone, he might have done a few tricks, and rescuing her wouldn\'t be too much of a problem, but that bastard sentenced the 11 girls to death... How cheap is human life here?!
Robin\'s brain almost stopped working when he saw the girls advancing under the influence of the whips, he didn\'t know what to do...
He just followed them in the dark, maybe he would think of something on the way...
