The prison guard took in Yael’s nervous look and snorted, guessing that the latter had to have made the wrong assumption.

The sound of two men’s footsteps echoed in the corridor. The prison guard took out his key and unlocked the door to the secret visiting room.

The steel door creaked open, and Yael entered, his wrists and ankles still cuffed.

There was a large square table in the visiting room with two men sitting across from it.

Yael fixed his eyes on one of the men. The latter had dark eyes and was looking at him expressionlessly, exuding a domineering aura.
