The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 704

The ride was smooth. We got to Lucland City in no time and were at the prison. Head Enforcer Bryce Golubev had done an exceptional job securing the place. There were huge Nitric tanks at both ends of the entrance, and the prison guards and enforcers were wearing goggles and gas masks.

Who would have thought Bryce would be this loyal? To think he had once helped the enemy in the past. I had to commend Sylvester for being forgiving. He would have lost a loyal soldier had he not had the decency to give Bryce a second chance. Bryce also was repentant and has proven his loyalty times without number. He was so loyal that Yuri saw him as a lost cause.

We alighted the vehicle and entered the prison. It wasn't dark and dingy, as I remembered it. I do not know which of the lords saw to it that it was renovated, but it loved livable. It was clean and air-conditioned. I commended the North for creating a conducive environment for the convicts. I might copy the same in the East when all this is over. I planned on surviving no matter what, so that would not be an issue.

We were led to an underground prison. It wasn't as beautiful as the one above, but it was livable. We were taken deep inside. I heard some people growl and shake the silver bars. I could not feel Black once we entered the place, so I knew we were where they kept the hardened and condemned criminals.

"Why didn't you take him to a questioning room?" I asked the Kappa leading us to the cell.

"To ensure he does not escape," The Kappa replied, and I could understand their reason.

"Is that the only entrance to this place?" I asked.

"Yes, Sir," He said, and I relaxed.

It would be difficult for anyone to enter here. I am sure Amanda was kept in a place like this in the women's prison. No wonder she took her life. Death was the only escape.

We stopped at a cell, and the light was turned on.

It wasn't bright, but I could see inside the cell.

A man was sitting on the floor with his back against the wall. His bed was neatly made, and everywhere was clean, but he remained on the floor with his head bowed.

"There he is. I will excuse you now. You can leave the way we came in when you are done." The Kappa said, ready to excuse us, and I nodded.

"Larry. Larry," I said, and the man did not respond.

We spent almost fifteen minutes trying to call his attention. I even shook the silver bars, and it burned, but he did not respond.

"We are here to negotiate with you if you can deliver Yuri Stepanov to us," I said, and he did not respond.

"Very well, we just need the location of the properties you helped him purchase and where he is likely to hide. Just answer this part, and we will be on our way." I said, giving up, knowing I would not be successful in questioning him.

My last statement made Larry move. He looked at me. My words had caught his attention.

He stood up and slowly walked towards the bars.

He had lost weight, and his eyes were hollow.

He looked like a man that battled demons daily. I wondered what they did to him in the prison cells.

"So Yuri finally came out of the shadows," he managed with a breathy tired voice. I nodded, avoiding saying anything that would make him ignore us.

"Yuri used me and left me to my devices when I needed him the most," he said. He did not let me even speak.

I could tell he had ill feelings towards Yuri. We might not need to offer much for him to help us.

"I thought I was avenging Emily, but then I realised I was the fool all along." He said, voicing his thoughts, and we remained silent because he seemed a bit unstable. Spending over a year without access to his wolf was bound to do that to him.
