Yano shoved a bruised, tattered man back toward the small, dark room.
"Believe me, I have important intel—huge intel! I'm not really with that Hades guy, I swear to God!"
Moriarty "The Mole" stumbled along, his voice choked with tears as he pleaded. His face was a mask of terror, like a rat that had fallen into a den of cats.
For him,
nothing was more terrifying than a living Yano.
He was still standing here, alive and well.
And yet the Shadow Fang Squad, along with that monstrous Julian, was nowhere to be seen!
What did that mean?
This man had most likely defeated Julian, hailed as the strongest blade of the Rusted Key.
"Miracle" Yano... everyone had underestimated him!
Just then, a Slime slowly "passed by" on the ground, hopping onto a mushroom rock to sit and watch, as if enjoying the farce.
Yano took the hint and did his best to put on a stern face, imitating a bully.
"Stop dawdling! If you have intel, spit it out. I still have to lock you up when you're done."
