After last night's spy incident, Frank now had around six prisoners!
And they were all left alive, as he planned to send those people right back to their leader…
However, before that came interrogations.
But none of the spies wanted to speak.
They said they would endure any kind of torture and would either bit their tongues and drown in their own blood than speak…
So Frank felt completely hopeless.
He decided to give up…
Well, he would have decided to give up if he did not have such amazing abilities.
Frank nodded in affirmation when the men said they would not speak and literally touched their brains with his hand, using his very hands, which he transformed into phantom through the Spectral Form Spell, and used such hands to touch the people's minds and connect his soul to their souls.
Through this, he began to extract their memories and any knowledge easily and quickly, skipping a lot of hard and boring parts of an interrogation.
First of all, he discovered that these spies were from two different groups that were cooperating.
The first group was a criminal organization, the second most predominant of the entire capital, named the Shadow Snakes, an organization that dealt with a variety of things, such as selling knock-off magic items, mass-produced potions that barely healed anything but that were sold as if they were high quality, drugs made from monster materials that enhanced magic power but made people go insane magic weapons, and more.
Their leader was named Dhuja Jyaryabha, and she was a Lamia woman, a Rank 4 Magus of the Poison Attribute who had also added other Rank 3 and 4 Mana Cores into her body. Her strength was as outstanding as her tyrannous and dominating nature, and she was a shrewd and cunning woman who liked to step on others… well, she did not have legs, so she was not able to do that.
She had grown interested in Frank's group the very moment they appeared into the city, and she intended to make of them allies she could use… Although Frank's Rank 5 Aura was noticed by some people, he mostly suppressed it, making it seem around Rank 4 as well, so the woman was not completely aware of his power level.
"This woman is quite dangerous… Wait, not really… I should be able to destroy her organization and suppress her… maybe on the next couple of days…" thought Frank, suppressing criminal organizations for someone who had battled Gods was a fairly easy task.
Or even better, he could take over the organization and just make it his own instead…
Aside from Dhuja and the Shadow Snakes, there was also the other group of spies, which surprised Frank a bit…
Indeed, they were from the Eastgrande family.
And yes, they were also from… Henrietta's brother.
Frank was surprised by the coincidences, but he found it simple to understand, this guy wanted the same thing as Dhuja, and he seemed just as shrewd and mysterious.
He wanted to know more about Gustav, but the spies he had barely known much about him, nor his true intentions, but they had indeed seen him with the strange, red-skinned demoness, which Frank discovered was a Rank 4 Peak Stage Magus of the Fire Element, with many more Mana Cores inside her body too.
However, from the little info he got, Frank discovered that Gustav also wanted to negotiate with Frank, by using the Jewel of Eternal Life as a bribe.
Indeed, Frank finally got some clues.
Actual, and real clues about the legendary artifact!
Gustav was seemingly using it to bribe a bunch of people to do his bidding, but who wouldn't if they were to get a chance to get their filthy hands in such an enormous powerful artifact that could heal any disease, wounds, or more?
Even Frank felt the desire to negotiate with the man, but quickly scratched the idea out of his mind, as such a thing would be impossible due to his real intentions being not to give it away anyways…
"So this bastard really has it… it is funny how these spies had such a clue but not his sister herself… he is true quite the shady bastard… But I do not know where he keeps it hidden… I have to be cautious, this whole thing with the demoness must be something way more than I expect…" thought Frank.
As Frank finally assessed the information, he quickly walked out of bed and went to take a bathroom, where Gwendolyn joined in…
When it was breakfast time, Frank explained to everyone else who had gone to sleep what happened last night, alongside all the information he got.
Everyone got quite surprised by the news, especially those regarding the Jewel of Eternal Life.
"So there is a possibility to get it… What a relief," said Gwendolyn.
"But… we must be cautious though… That snake woman and that crazy guy, I don't know but they might be saving a lot of aces below their sleeve," said Cathyl.
"Any plan? I think we could go bring down the snakes and that snake woman, and then we can enslave her! I got a few curse spells that could work with her, fufu," laughed Vheslia.
"I agree, we should target her first. If we can capture her and let Frank interrogate her, we would be able to get more detailed info, she seems to be an ally with Gustav…" said Kamei.
"All right then, aniki! Just ask and I will wreck any bastard you want!" said Asterion.
"Thanks, everyone, and that's just what I was thinking to do. We have to prepare a bit before that, and I would like to meet with Clishya and Adrian today in the guild, we also have to register our own guild, so it will be a busy day," said Frank.
"Oh yeah, we are becoming a guild…" said Hilvera.
"Hm… So it's today huh…" said Annabelle.
"Indeed, for now, let's finish breakfast so we can get going," said Frank.
…
Meanwhile, within a large manor to the west of the capital, there was an outstandingly beautiful lamia woman resting over a throne.
Her long, snake-like tail was covered in slim and thin purple scales, decorated with many golden accessories.
She wore a beautiful and revealing purple dress over her fair and silky pale-white skinned upper body. Her hair was long and crimson red, and her eyes gleamed eerily with purple light.
"How odd… they have not come back yet? Were they captured?! But the accessories they used were made by Rank 4 Alchemists and Magic Blacksmiths! And even then, they would have killed themselves but… I can clearly sense their vitality through the radars set near their neck… they are alive…"
The woman glanced at a purple-colored crystal ball, which showed small bright gleams of light, which were the indicators of the spies being alive.
"Just what… is this? It would be impossible to capture them alive! Did they escaped or something? Or they betrayed us?!"
However, interrupting the lamia's rage, a red-skinned demoness wearing clothes that covered most of her clothes emerged at her side.
"Dhuja… Prepare yourself, those Magus… Are not normal," she said.
"Prepare…? You mean?" asked the lamia.
"I mean what I said, well, it is not of my concern what happens or not to you…" said the demoness, as she quickly disappeared as she came.
"What an annoying whore…" sighed the lamia.
