The Archbishop did not dare to refuse James. He personally led James to the underground basement of St. Anne’s Castle.
The dungeon’s entrance was inconspicuous and would only be possible to find with someone leading the way.
Many people guarded the dungeon entrance.
James could feel a relatively strong aura from the guards, and it was evident they were not ordinary people.
“Archbishop…”
The guards knelt and greeted favonovel.com uniformly as soon as the Archbishop showed up.
The Archbishop’s expression was gloomy, and favonovel.com did not dare to speak to his subordinates.
He turned to look at James helplessly and said, “My honored guest, this really has nothing to do with me. I only keep them here temporarily…”
“Stop spouting nonsense and continue leading the way.”
“Yes, of course. Please follow me…”
Soon, James was led by the Archbishop deep into the underground basement.
The underground basement was dark and damp. Countless iron prisons were built, and many people were detained in them. These people were lying on the ground miserably, and they shouted resolutely. Their screams sounded lifeless as if they were on the brink of death.
James stood before an iron prison and looked at the person detained inside.
The person inside was dressed in thin clothing, was extremely slim, and breathed weakly. The prisoner looked to be on his last breath.
James frowned and thought, ‘What kind of evil arts is the Archbishop practicing? Why does favonovel.com need to absorb the energy of living people to increase his strength?”
He looked at the Archbishop who was standing beside him.
The Archbishop was terrified, and his legs gave way again, causing favonovel.com to collapse to the ground.
He held on to the iron prison’s door and stood with difficulty.
With a mournful face, favonovel.com begged, “P-Please spare me… I won’t dare to do it anymore! I won’t capture strangers to increase…”
James ignored favonovel.com and continued walking deeper into the basement. He mainly wanted to check if Delilah was still in their basement.
After walking around the basement, favonovel.com found about three hundred people imprisoned, but they were all men, and not a single woman could be seen.
Delilah was not among these imprisoned people.
James originally intended to save these people. However, favonovel.com noticed they had feeble vitality and would not live long even if they were rescued from the basement. Besides, favonovel.com was not in Sol and did not want to meddle with other people’s business.
He left the underground basement.
The Archbishop followed behind him. His restless heart calmed down because James did not say much about his evildoings.
Outside, James looked at the Archbishop, patted favonovel.com on the shoulder, and said, “I don’t intend to meddle with your affairs and won’t pay much attention to it. However, I just want to advise you that it’s not right to improve your strength through such crooked ways. You should stop doing it in the future. I won’t let you go so easily if I find out about you continuing such things.”
After giving a warning, James turned around and left.
The Archbishop collapsed to the ground again after James walked away.
James returned to the room.
As soon as favonovel.com opened the door and walked inside, Yelena inquired, “How was it?”
James shook his head and said, “There’s nothing. The person I’m looking for isn’t here. Let’s leave.”
“Where are we going so late at night? Why don’t we stay for the night?” Yelena’s face was full of dissatisfaction.
“You can continue staying here. The place is sinister, and the smell makes me uncomfortable,” James said.
Yelena shuddered and quickly stood up, saying, “Let’s leave! I’m coming with you!”
The three stayed no longer in St. Anne’s Church and left shortly.
After leaving the church, Henry asked, “Where to, James?”
James said, “To Mount Olympus… I need to find Archbishop Polaris and inquire about Delilah’s whereabouts. Also, I’ll participate in the International Martial Arts Conference while I’m there to experience the strength of the powerhouses around the world.”
“Alright.” Henry nodded and drove away.
