Chapter 965: The interrogation (2)
"Momentum," Erik said. "What's the deal with Dark Tendrils in this city? What are the blackguards hoping to achieve by sending him here?"
At that, Momentum began laughing derisively at Erik.
"For real? Hahahahahahahaha. This is the way you think an interrogation should go? Hahahahahahahaha."
Until now, Momentum had refused to answer any of Erik's questions, finding Erik's attempts at interrogation amusing.
Momentum let out a dry chuckle. "I expected more from someone with your reputation, Erik," he said, a hint of mockery in his tone. "But so far, you're acting like an amateur."
Erik's eyes narrowed as Momentum continued to laugh, but the only thing he did was reply with a grin.
That was because Momentum was unwillingly talking. Really, all of this was easier than stealing candy from a kid.
But Momentum then turned serious. Honestly, Erik's reaction was freaking him out a little. Why was he laughing? Shouldn't he be enraged?
"You think your little questions will get you anywhere? I have nothing to say to you aside from that you are an idiot and that most likely, the higher-ups overestimated you."
Of course, that wasn't what Momentum was really thinking. Maybe he considered Erik amateurish in his interrogation, but his strength couldn't be denied.
He made him unconscious with a single attack, but the man wasn't even sure about that because Erik had been too fast for him to understand what had happened back then.
But Momentum replied to Erik's questions. The truth was that Zakir had been sent here to thwart the rebels, simple as that, but also for the same reason as when he got sent to Caelora City: to apprehend Erik Romano.
Zakir fought against him back at school. At that time, he knew better than most how Frant's awakener did it.
However, the difference between Momentum, his team, and Zakir was that the younger man was a genius.
war.
But things went this way, for good or bad, and he couldn't change it. Erik's thought went back to what he glanced at in Momentum's mind.
Zakir had been sent here because the blackguards hoped he could fight against him. In their opinion, he had the means, and for sure he would be supported by hundreds, if not thousands, of other blackguards.
Then Erik asked a question to Momentum. "Do you know where you are?"
There, Erik's worst thought materialized. Momentum knew. He thought he was at the Red Palace, and that meant the blackguards knew the institution sided with the rebels.
"What about the spy?"
Momentum remained silent; now, most of the thoughts the man was having were mocking
ones.
Erik had to start using his instability brain crystal power to make him keen, at least on thinking about the answer.
"I'll ask you again. What about the spy?"
"There is no spy. And since you are insisting, I don't know where we are."
But there was indeed a spy among the rebels, the very same one that told the blackguards about the Red Palace, the very same one that gave them the idea to keep the resistance alive.
The problem was that this guy had been a high-ranking Colonel within Becker's government and was among those Erik rescued from prison months earlier. The spy was Colonel Stephen Middleton, one of Fischer's closest helpers.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
