Alister gazed down at the father and son duo below him, his mind recalling a dramatic moment involving Dragun, himself, and his younger brother, Xandros.
In his recollection, Dragun and a few other men were kneeling before Alister and Xandros.
Xandros was torturing the men with a parasitic magic insect that ate their flesh and drained their mana reserves.
He slowly killed off the other men after asking them the same question, leaving only Dragun, who wore a traumatized expression as he gazed upon the corpses of his colleagues, the fear of death becoming more evident on his face.
"You're the only one alive now, Dragun, and according to our information, you're the one in possession of the item we're looking for!" Xandros said with a frown, staring intently at the kneeling Dragun.
"I swear, I know nothing about it! I'm innocent!" Dragun pleaded repeatedly, but the more he cried, the angrier Xandros became.
