Chapter 156 Chapter 156 – The Truth
After a lot of persuasion and talking, the little girl finally broke down and started crying.
The guard kept looking around with nervous eyes.
Jonathan just sat in the hallway, looking at the ground with dead eyes.
Kiara just looked with terror at the crying girl and the room.
"How are you with kids?"
Kiara was taken out of her thoughts when Nick addressed her.
Kiara just looked at the girl nervously.
"I have a little brother," she said.
Nick nodded. "I want to know what happened here," he said.
Kiara looked at Nick nervously.
Then, she walked up to the girl and softly started to talk to her.
Meanwhile, Nick walked out of the room and looked at Jonathan.
Jonathan didn't even turn to look at Nick.
Just the mental image of the room was too much to process for him.
The cruelty...
He knew how it felt to be in the darkness.
It was probably the most terrifying experience imaginable.
And this girl had been in the darkness for maybe even days.
Jonathan just couldn't comprehend what he had seen.
"This is who you're working for," Nick said.
Jonathan didn't look up.
"Where do you think the fat guy got this girl from?" Nick asked. "Getting something like this requires some connections."
Jonathan didn't answer.
"When we met Ardum for the first time, he tried to frame one of my people as a spy while we didn't even have any issues with each other."
"At the same time, he had a true spy in our midst."
"It was a 14-year-old boy named Pator."
"Ardum planted Pator on Wyntor's side two years ago."
"Ardum used a little boy as a spy, knowing fully well what happens to spies in the Melfion family."
Nick looked at the wall absentmindedly.
"I was tasked with doing the deed."
Jonathan turned to look at Nick.
"I found Pator crying and talking to a statue," Nick said. "He was saying that he regrets everything and wants to stop but can't because he's already in too deep."
"If he continued, he would feel like he was betraying his friends."
"If he stopped, he would die."
Silence.

"What did you do?" Jonathan asked.
"A spy is a spy," Nick said.
"I did what I had to do."
Jonathan looked back at the wall.
"The girl from Cycle has been spying on us for three months," Nick said.
"We noticed her three months ago already, but we didn't do anything since we were not ready for an open conflict with Cycle yet."
"For three months, she just randomly showed up in the night and in the early morning."
"A week ago, we were ready to do something about the spy, and I found her on our rooftop."
"She took out some kind of glass jar and was fidgeting around with it."
"I threw two spears at her."
"The first one shot through her body."
"The second one shot through her head."
"When we looked at her corpse and found the green substance, we knew why she was here."
"She was meant to act as a reason to go to war."
"Ardum keeps putting on a fake persona, and in order to get your support, he needed to unite you under a common cause."
