Just then, there was a disturbance outside. Soon afterward, someone reported, "Sir Allen and Brock have returned."
Thomas quickly exited. They saw the two dejected individuals and asked in alarm, "Where is everyone?"
The two hadn't returned with suspicious individuals the way they had imagined, but had rather returned with many stretchers. There was white cloth covering many of them. When they saw that, Thomas's moods immediately plummeted.
Allen and Brock explained with sullen expressions, "We sought them out according to the list of names, but those people already received news ahead of time and either fled or committed suicide. We didn't even find a single living person to interrogate."
"They were all silenced!" Thomas exchanged a look. They saw shock in each other's eyes.
But that didn't make any sense! After all, they had taken action so swiftly. Why had those people been able to move before them? Wasn't the one behind the scenes a bit too remarkable?
