"Qiqimora... what on earth are you thinking?" Presia looked at the abruptly appearing Qiqimora, her face full of surprise.
But Qiqimora just glanced at her, gave her a smile, and then swiftly turned her gaze back to Aiden, asking with interest, "Were you just testing my abilities? What if you had really hurt me just now?"
"I am the prison warden here," Aiden lied expressionlessly, "it's normal and reasonable to shoot dead an intruder. Besides, I knew for sure that you would be unharmed." After pausing for a moment, he asked Qiqimora, "It's the authority of 'Void', isn't it?"
The moment he saw Qiqimora, he was actually a bit panicked, but after a moment's thought he decided to shoot first and ask questions later. If the shot worked, all the better; he could severely wound his opponent and take control. After all, encountering a suspect attempting prison break within the prison, he had every reason to kill the intruder on the spot.
