As Jin continued to run through the tunnel as fast as he could, the last thing he saw was the backs of the two boys, and a few seconds after, the tunnel had sealed up once again.
"Damn it!" Jin shouted in frustration as he tried to look around and figure out what part of the tunnel he was in. First, he tried his own combination that the tunnels underneath his castle used. It was a long shot, but he was going to try anyway. As expected, it was useless, and the door remained shut.
"Which family does this combination even belong to, and how did they even know it in the first place. Is someone really working with the punishers again? Is it the thirteenth family, but then why would they give us access?"
Staying by the door, Jin waited until more people arrived and the first to arrive was Sunny, leader of the fifth family. Just from the look on Jin’s face and the sealed door he was standing in front of, she knew something was up.
"Did they get away then?" She asked.
"Yeah, and they went through there," Jin replied. "Do you have any idea where this leads to? I don’t even know the combination and all of the thirteenth area locks should have auto granted access right now."
"I’m sorry, but I think its best if you ask Muka." She replied.
Right now, the two boys would have been long gone, and it looked like it would be a while before any others arrived.
"What about on your end?" Jin asked.
"Fex has safely been transported to the main castle." Said Sunny. "No one tried to intervene, and everything went as planned."
Hearing this, Jin was wondering what their goal was. Why they needed to save the Wight and at the same time, why did Fex try to protect the Wight’s creator? Jin thought for sure they would try to also save Fex. But judging by what happened, everything was all the actions of a single vampire.
I
t would explain why no one had gone after Fex.
Knowing this, Jin wished he would have been less cautious, if there wasn’t any others helping with the breakout, then he had nothing to worry about.
With nothing else to do, the two of them decided to return and pass on the information onto the others. Once again, another meeting had been called between the leaders.
Inside the council room, they had all been updated on the current situation of how Peter, the Wight, had been rescued by the punisher. It came as quite a surprise to a lot of them. They thought that the two matters were unrelated, and it started to cause great confusion amongst the leaders.
After everyone had been updated, the ninth leader of the Fortuna family stood to speak. The Fortuna family were the ones who were in charge of the underground tunnels as well as keeping the prisoners locked underground at bay.
The person who stood up, was the leader, Muka. He had heavy black armour that covered his entire body from head to toe and was built like a thick brick house. He was wider than the others but not short either. As for his weapon, it looked like a giant club on his back. There was nothing special looking about the club. It was plain and blunt, the top half was thick, while the handle area was thin.
"We have looked into where the tunnel the two boys went to leads to, and it looks like it belongs to the tenths family castle," Muka explained.
The others started to mumble and talk to each other, and a few of them even looked at the empty tenth seat, while the torch above still shined brightly.
"But then how did they know about the combination?" one of the leaders complained. "And why did the punisher choose to save that boy!"
Most of the leaders had the same thought, and they were looking to Muka for answers, mostly since his family were ones who knew the combinations to all of the locks in the tunnels. There were only a few possibilities they could come up with after all.
"Could someone be planning another uprising?" One of the leaders whispered at just the wrong time as everyone went silent. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
In response to this, Bryce slammed the cane down, making the bickering stop.
