[They're coming out; what shall we do, commander?]

A voice transmitted into the commander's mind. The commander didn't answer immediately and pondered over the matter.

'It's safe to assume that the pretender's goal is to save whoever is inside cell 9862. From the information, it seems to be a moderately strong human.'

The original goal of keeping the pretender alive was to see what their motive was.

The commander already had an idea beforehand and thus wasn't very surprised with what he found out.

He was a bit disappointed, however…

"A pitiful attempt."

It was honestly a pathetic attempt. The commander had expected much more, but it seemed like he was just being too cautious.

He never thought someone would show up in such an obvious manner. He thought that there was something more to their terrible disguise, but it seemed that… that was it.

"The moment they come out, apprehend them immediately. I no longer have any interest in the matter."

Finally answering the communication, the commander turned around and left to patrol a different area.

He was no longer interested in whatever was happening over here. Whatever interest he previously held had long been extinguished.

"Ah."

His feet came to a sudden pause, recalling something.

"…Don't kill them. Keep them alive."

The commander had a change of heart about the standard protocol that dictated that those who tried to infiltrate would get killed on the spot.

Killing them was far too light of a punishment.

"We need to set an example for those who misbehave."

"Surrender yourselves, and we'll consider keeping your lives."

The moment Leopold and Ryan left the room, demons surrounded them on all sides.

They didn't even get the chance to do anything before a terrifying pressure locked onto them and stopped them in their tracks.

"Eh…"

The most confused one was Leopold, who turned his head to look at Ryan. His face was rather pale.
