Loki looked excited about speaking to Amane. He likely had no friends because he ca across as a dangerous man. Amane would not be surprised to know she was also Loki's only 'friend' option.
And Loki's enthusiasm was infectious. Amane was curious to know what he had to say to her.
"Yeah, sure. Tell what happened. I am new and out of the loop. It will help get familiar with this place's surroundings."
Amane admitted, and this made Loki happy. But then his eyes narrowed, and he lowered his voice. He made it seem like he was telling Amane a well-hidden secret.
"You know about the disappearance cases in this detention center? There is a limit on how much ti can pass before it occurs. According to that theory, soone should have gotten kidnapped yesterday."
"But as you can see from all this buzz, it did not happen. We do not know if our theory was wrong or the kidnapper stopped."
Loki inford Amane. It reminded her of what she had done yesterday, and now things made sense. She rembered stopping Anya yesterday and wondered if that had sothing to do with the disappearances.
'Ah. no wonder I saw Anya walking around last night. She was either the next victim or the one pulling the string.'
Amane's instincts told her that it was the first option. Sothing about Anya's aura made it hard for her to be the culprit behind these disappearances.
"Is the disappearance ti theory popular? I an, who even ca up with that? Sounds stupid."
Amane tried to gloat an answer out of Loki. And Loki's expression sourced before he caught himself and coughed into his hand.
"If you must know, the one who ca up with this theory was Anya—and it spread around when more and more people began to hear about it. It is one of the most popular theories and has never been debunked until today."
Loki inford Amane. She wondered if he was proud of Anya for her theory. Or disappointed that it had been debunked.
As much fun as Amane was having with Loki, she knew she had reached the end of the information he knew. Now, she needed to end the conversation and try to find new information sources.
The one giving Amane this excuse was the guard. He walked into the hall, and everyone fell quiet. Then, he looked around and imdiately found Amane sitting at the dining table.
"You! Are you Amane? You need to co with . The warden is asking for you to visit him."
The guard looked at Amane and saw a young woman. It made his nervousness lt away, and he relaxed.
But Loki did not like the guard's arrogant tone, and he looked at the guard with an annoyed expression.
"If the warden wants to talk to Amane so badly, he can co here himself. There is no need to send a kid like you to inform Amane about this eting."
Loki made his stand clear. The guard was not only new but fearless as well. He wanted to show that he was not afraid of Loki. So, he took a stand and looked at Loki right in the eye.
"You should stay in your lane, prisoner Loki. I don't know why no one has thought to correct your tone before, but I will not be phased by it. You need to show respect to those who are superior to you."
The guard inford him before he cracked his whip in an intimidating manner. The guard attempted to use his whip on Loki with bare hands and caught his weapon.
It surprised not only the guards but the on-lookers as well. They had heard that Loki was powerful rather than soone they should ss with. But they had never seen the proof of his power.
But here Loki was, giving everyone a demonstration of how power.
"Tsk, you low fries thing, you can take on just because I was quite patient the last couple of weeks? It seems you all need a reminder of how powerful I can be."
Loki replied before he tugged the whip in his direction. The man lost balance and fell face-first into the ground. He looked up, only to notice Loki's unamused expression.
"You are lucky that I am not in a mood to kill. Otherwise, this would have been your last day here."
Loki inford the guard before he stepped on top of the guard and walked away. His good mood had been soured, and he needed Anya to console him.
"Ah, that reminds . Amane, make sure you stop by Anya's lab today. She said that she had sothing interesting planned."
Loki had accepted Amane as a friend and now asked her to visit his crush. It was an excellent opportunity for Amane to make friends and gather information.
'I am sure that Anya had sothing to do with the disappearances case. So, befriending her might not be a bad idea for my investigation. But first, I should inform Sean of what is happening.'
That had to be the reason the warden was calling for her. Sean must be here to get Amane's report.
Amane walked toward the outer entrance of the detention center as well. But not before he stepped on the fallen guard and made his humiliation worse.
.........
"Chief Sean, you did not need to co here personally. I know you want to interrogate prisoner Amane, but you could have assigned soone else to do that for you."
The warden simultaneously tried to flatter Sean and gain an advantage over him. He was trying hard to make the chief like him.
"You! Handle Amane! Ha! Even the thought makes cack up. Listen here; do not touch Amane if you value your life. She is not soone you can touch when you want to."
Sean warned, and the warden gulped down in nervousness. He rembered clashing with Amane and trying to intimidate her.
That may have been the wrong thing to do. He would need to change his approach regarding Amane and how to interact with her.
"Warden, the prisoner is here. Shall I let her in?"
The guard at the door asked before he knocked on the door. But before the warden could reply, Sean stood up and walked toward the door.
"There is no need for you to invite her in. I will go to her, and we shall discuss what we want in a secure corner without surveillance."
Sean's words surprised the warden. There should have been no corner of the detention center that was unsupervised.
But if the chief said there was a corner, there must be one.
'Hmm, should I try to listen in on the conversation? I am sure there will be a lot of juicy bits I can enjoy in the future.'
The warden had a choice to make. But in the end, what he needed to do was clear to him. He was not going to risk angering the chief.
Sean did not care about the internal dilemma the warden was going through. He opened the door and looked at the right-hand man of the warden before walking past him.
Yoko awaited him a few steps from the door, and she looked unhard. She also seed to be enjoying her stay in the detention center.
"Co with ."
Sean whispered before he started to walk faster. Yoko managed to keep up quickly, and soon, they were out of the common corridor.
Once they were alone, Sean snapped his fingers, and the room lit up. Runes shined down at the pair and locked the place up securely. It was a highly advanced magic that was used. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
"Wow, so these runes are also a part of the detention center? These must be a new addition since I do not rember them."
Sean was startled to hear Yoko's words. He was sure no reports or papers were published in the detention center. It would be impossible for Yoko to read about it.
'Or maybe she ans she got to know about it from the inmates? Yeah, that makes sense. There is research in the detention center right now. Yoko must have t her.'
Sean tried to calm himself down. But sotis, Yoko made him nervous and worried at the sa ti.
*cough*
"Anyway, did you manage to find sothing? Anything regarding the disappearance case?"
Sean asked, and Amane had a thoughtful look on her face. She had found sothing for sure. But she was not inclined to share what it was.
"Hmm, I am still investigating. The warden is a ss, and he caused my plans to fall through more than once now."
"Since the warden doesn't like , most inmates also avoid . So, the progress is slow."
Amane admitted, and it hurt her pride to do so. Sean was not happy about it either. But there were so things he could not interfere in.
"I see. I warned the warden, but maybe he took my words incorrectly. I will have to be firr with him next ti. Anything else you want to tell ?"
Sean asked with a firm expression. He was serious about his question, and Amane made a thinking face again.
"Hmm, let rember, Ah! This is unrelated. But do you know that an inmate is causing a few deaths to provide a test subject for Anya, the researcher? The victim is always a naless person with no family background, and it's made to look natural."
"Just thought you might want to check up on it. Did this news even reach your ears?"
