Cheat Awakening

Chapter 155: Chapter 155. Interrogation

Receiving Myne's shocking confession, Faren had originally wanted to slowly collect his thoughts, but he have to first settle an urgent matter. The place he is in currently is the prison created underneath the royal castle to capture atrocious criminals.

Claude, the heir to the Roselia family who had been arrested because of his cheating in the previous game, trying to rob Lord Divine Beasrt's children, illegally using Slave Collor, and most importantly because hiding a time bomb called Dargon Child, is currently imprisoned here.

Accompanied by The Knight Leader Rick and some royal knights, Faren who entered the prison asked the jailer a question.

"How is it, has that bastard confessed?"

"No, not yet Your Majesty, he is very stubborn, and because of his Identity, unless you give us permission we can't use extreme methods to make him speak, The Jailer said hatefully while gritting his teeth.

Knitting his brows at the jailer's words, Faren looked at Claude who was tied to the wall with iron chains.

Claude's condition wasn't anything good, his most of clothes were tattered, his face was swollen like a pig, probably gotten a lot of love from the jailer, thin traces of blood oozing out behind him and have a lot of red whip marks on his body, which show that he was whipped quite a bit which was the lightest torture someone can get.

Though he hasn't been imprisoned for too long, but judging from his looks, he probably received quite a lot of interrogation. I originally wanted to take more time to get him to confess everything carefully, but the only problem is we don't have much time now.

The adult dragon may show up in some town at any moment, and there is no need to think about what happened when an angry dragon visits a town.

I absolutely do not want to see a dragon blinded by rage from its child stolen come and visit the town in my kingdom one by one, only god knows how many people die because of it.

"F*ck, I have to release the child dragon quickly no matter what it takes before any damage is inflicted. This isn't a situation where I should be gentle with people just because of their status and overall benefit," Faren thought with a frown and ask Claude who was about to start crying after seeing him.

"Claude, honestly tell us where the hell did you hide that child dragon."

"Your Majesty! Please listen to me! This is a conspiracy! I have been framed! Yes, I have been framed by that commoner called Myne or something!!!

That bastard is jealous of me while thinking that I will take away Princess Sylphid from him, and he will be lost her support, so he is trying to get rid of me," Claude said with a trembling voice, tear start falling from his eyes as more he spoke more injuries on his face hurt.

Faren took a sidelong glance at Claude who had become desperate and trying to accuse his Son-In-Law. After shaking his head in disappointment, Faren took out something from his bosom.

As soon as he saw that thing, Claude who had been making excuses suddenly stopped moving, he abruptly became quiet, and collapse on the walk.

Yes, the thing which made Claude give up his struggle is the "Slave Collar" Myne entrusted to Faren.

With this, I hope finding the child dragon shouldn't be too much difficult.

There isn't any physical evidence better than these collars, if only I have the controller of this collar, then I can just put it on Claude and made him spit out all his secrets, Faren thought a little disappointedly, then he immediately summoned Rike and order him to infer the slave dealer registered with the royal family from the engraved serial number.

Then, before 30 minutes passed, the slave dealer was determined.

Hearing Faren explanations, Lord Roselia who understood the situation had his complexion visibly deteriorate, and he look at Claude with anger while wondering what kind of sin did he commit that get such an idiot son.

After all, now Claude is the biggest suspect as long as Faren get proof, the Roselia family would undoubtedly be shut down permanently, and there is also the possibility that Lord Roselia himself may get caught in this muddy water if Claude said that he was involved in his conspiracy as well.

While Faren was talking with Lord Roselia, the slave dealer was bounded beside Claude by the jailer himself, who didn't forget to throw salt on Claude's wound before coming out of the cell.

"Now then, let me ask again. Where did you hide the child dragon? It won't end with just fingers this time if you two didn't open your mouths. Think carefully before you talk," Faren said with a poker face.

..."

..."

Hmph, both of them are not explaining huh? I hate cunning people, Faren thought and look at Claude's father beside him, who was sweating bucket.

"Lord Roselia, won't you persuade your son? If you can get information on where the child dragon is, I can allow your Roselia family to only shut down, and you and your other family member will be safe, and with the money your earned all those years, it shouldn't be a problem for you to live rest of your life without any worry."

Lord Roselia who heard Faren's words became desperate and started persuading his son.

Just by seeing his persuading, there doesn't seem to be any doubt that Lord Roselia isn't related to this matter, but this is also possible that his acting skill is just too great, Faren thought and watched over them for a while but there was absolutely no progress, so he once again decided to signal the jailer.

"Jailer, give the slave dealer the same treatment as Claude, after which cut off Claude's left leg," Faren commoned calmly.

"Sure, Your Majesty, The Jailer with his same devilish smile, again picks up his knife from the stool, and walks in the cell excitedly, today is undoubtedly the jailer life's luckiest day.

The slave dealer who heard Faren's command showed a desperate expression.

Claude looked at his father and Faren with eyes full of hatred. If eyes can kill people without skill, then both of them probably have died hundreds of times already.

"Let me ask you, where is the child dragon!" The Jailer asked in a heavy voice, after grabbing the slave dealer's right hand and putting the knife on his index finger.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!!! I'll talk so please let me go!! I have a family to feed..."

Seeing the jailer about cut off his finger, the cowardly slave dealer immediately gave in.

"Wh, you bastard!!!" Claude beside him couldn't help but scream at the slave dealer and wanted to kill him on the spot before he spits out everything, but because he was locked by chains, he couldn't do anything other than curse everyone.

"Oh, that's a good attitude, I like it, maybe you still have a chance to survive. And, where did you guys hide the child dragon?" Faren asked with joy but he didn't show it on his face.

"It's in the Adol Town..."

"F*CK!!!"
