Chapter 311: Reversal [3]



Adrian nodded, and Mr. Hawke gave a curt nod in agreement. The crowd, sensing the gravity of the situation, fell into a hush. Adrian turned his attention back to Miss Jenny, who was still sobbing uncontrollably at Mrs. Rena\'s feet.

"Miss Jenny," Mr. Klein began gently, "We need to understand why you did this. Please, if you can, tell us the truth."

Miss Jenny looked up, her eyes red and puffy. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. The weight of her actions and the fear of what lay ahead seemed to choke her.

\'Sigh... This is why they are troublesome.\'

Adrian stepped forward, his voice soft but firm. "Miss Jenny, if you tell us the truth and explain that you were indeed threatened, your punishment will be lighter. We need to know who was behind this, and why."

She hesitated, her gaze darting between Mr. Klein and Adrian. After a few agonizing moments, she took a deep breath and nodded. "A-Alright... I\'ll tell you. There were five men...

they gave me a large sum of money to do this. They knew I needed it—my daughter is sick, and... I didn\'t have a choice. I was desperate."

Her voice cracked, and she began to sob again. "I didn\'t want to hurt anyone, but they threatened my family... They said they would make sure my daughter got worse if I didn\'t comply."

The crowd listened in silence, some showing signs of sympathy while others looked skeptical. Mr. Hawke\'s expression hardened as he listened to Miss Jenny\'s confession.

"See, boy," Mr. Hawke said with a sneer, his voice dripping with condescension. "It seems you were blackmailing me. You were the one creating chaos and attempting to undermine the sanctuary. I never had any part in this."

Adrian\'s calm demeanor didn\'t waver. "I haven\'t finished yet you know," he said loudly, drawing everyone\'s attention back to him. "Brother Dorian, bring them in!"

The doors to the sanctuary swung open, and a tall, muscular man entered, dragging three men behind him. The three men were bound with ropes, their dark robes tattered and their faces bruised. The crowd gasped as they saw the sorry state of the captives.

Mr. Hawke\'s face paled slightly, and a flicker of anxiety crossed his features. He had hoped to avoid direct involvement in any nefarious acts, but seeing the bound men being brought in made him uneasy. Still, he maintained his composure, a forced calm in his demeanor.

"These men," Adrian announced, his voice carrying across the room, "are the ones who orchestrated the chaos. They were the ones who threatened Miss Jenny and coerced her into sabotaging the sanctuary."

The muscular man, Dorian, threw the captives down in front of Adrian. One of the men, a thin figure with a weathered face, looked up with a defiant glare. "You think we will just tell everything? You are so wr-Gah."

Dorian hit the man causing him to stop.

Adrian\'s eyes narrowed, but he remained composed. "That\'s not all," he said. "We will see if these people are really the ones who threatened Miss Jenny. I trust Mr. Klein will ensure the investigation is thorough."

Mr. Klein nodded, stepping forward to examine the captives. His expression was serious as he began questioning them, while Adrian and Mr. Hawke watched, tension hanging thick in the air.

As Mr. Klein interrogated the captives, the crowd waited anxiously, and the sanctuary\'s fate hung in the balance. The revelation of the masterminds behind the attack was a crucial step in uncovering the truth and determining the future of the sanctuary.

Unfortunately, even Mr. Klein was unable to get anything of the three.

Mr. Klein sighed, stepping back with a frustrated look on his face. "I\'m sorry, everyone. I\'ve tried everything, but these men refuse to speak. I couldn\'t get a word out of them."

Mr. Hawke inwardly sighed in relief, hiding a smirk. \'As expected of the men hired by \'Chameleon.\' They are as tight-lipped as he said. It seems like I can still salvage this situation.\'

Adrian, noticing the hidden smug look creeping onto Mr. Hawke\'s face, decided it was time to change tactics. He turned his attention back to Miss Jenny, who was still trembling in fear. "Miss Jenny," he called out, his voice loud and clear. "Do you recognize any of these men? Or better yet, does either of their voices match the ones who threatened you?"

The question took Miss Jenny by surprise, and she looked up with a confused expression. The crowd, too, seemed taken aback by the sudden shift in focus. Murmurs spread through the sanctuary as they tried to make sense of what Adrian was asking.

Adrian nearly facepalmed at the realization that he hadn\'t thought to ask this basic question earlier. It was common sense!

\'I miss Earth more at times like these...\'

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he repeated, "Miss Jenny, when they threatened you, did you hear their voices? And if so, do any of these men sound familiar to you?"

Miss Jenny hesitated, glancing nervously at the men before her. "I... I didn\'t see their faces," she stammered, "but their voices... Yes, I heard them. They spoke to me through their masks. One of them had a very distinct voice...

It was deep and gravelly, almost like a growl."

Adrian nodded encouragingly. "Alright, focus on their voices. Could you try to remember if any of these men sound like the ones who threatened you?"

She nodded, taking a shaky breath as she tried to recall the memory. The room was silent, everyone holding their breath as she concentrated. She listened intently as Adrian gestured for one of the men to speak.

"Say something," Adrian instructed, and the man, clearly nervous, mumbled incoherently. Miss Jenny shook her head. "No, that\'s not him."

Adrian moved to the second man, who hesitated but eventually complied. "I don\'t know what you\'re talking about," he said in a shaky voice.

Miss Jenny\'s eyes widened slightly. "That\'s close... but I\'m not sure."

Adrian finally turned to the third man, the one who had spoken defiantly earlier. "You," Adrian said, his voice stern. "Say something again. Anything."

The third man glared at Adrian but eventually spoke, his voice low and gruff. It was like he was trying to sound as unnatural as possible. "T-This is all pointless. We won\'t say anything."

Miss Jenny\'s eyes filled with recognition. "T-That\'s h-Him! That\'s the voice I heard!" She exclaimed, pointing at the man. "He was the one who spoke to me, I\'m sure of it! He threatened me with my daughter!"

The crowd erupted into whispers, and Mr. Hawke\'s brows furrowed. He hadn\'t expected this turn of events. Adrian smiled inwardly. \'This is just the beginning,\' he thought.

Mr. Klein, now emboldened by this new piece of evidence, turned to the third man with renewed determination. "So, you guys were the one threatening Miss Jenny. It seems you\'re not as tight-lipped as you thought." He leaned in closer, his expression serious. "You might want to start talking now. Things will only get worse for you if you don\'t.

I am sure you have heard of what happens when a TWAO agent gets serious."

The man, realizing his cover was blown, looked around nervously. His earlier bravado seemed to crumble under the weight of the situation. He knew that denying it now would be pointless, and the crowd\'s scrutiny felt like a physical pressure bearing down on him.

Finally, after a long, tense silence, the man sighed, defeated. "Alright, alright. I was the one who threatened her. But I was just following orders! I didn\'t have a choice, either!"

Adrian\'s expression hardened. "Who gave you those orders?" he demanded, his voice sharp.

The man hesitated, glancing at his fellow captives, then back at Adrian. "I... I can\'t say," he muttered. "They\'ll kill me if I do."

Adrian exchanged a glance with Mr. Klein. This was a step forward, but they still needed more information. "We\'ll protect you," Adrian assured. "But you need to tell us who\'s behind this. We need names."

The man remained silent, fear evident in his eyes. Adrian knew it wouldn\'t be easy to get him to talk, but now that they had a lead, he was determined not to let it slip away.

"I-It\'s our Gang Leader." The man replied in a low voice.

"Speak louder." Adrian said, his eyes cold. "Tell in detail."

"I-It\'s our Gang Leader!" The man repeated in a loud voice. "W-We are the Winter Wolf Gang members. It was our leader who ordered everything. A-And, he was also commissioned by someone."

"Who exactly."

"I-I don\'t know..."

"Then, say goodbye to your freedom, you are gonna rot in the prison for all your life." Adrian said. "Even your Gang leader, or whoever is behind you can\'t save you. I am sure they would rather prefer to kill you instead."

The three men gulped in fear since they knew better than anyone else the rules of this world, their world.

"I-It was..."

"We are listening."

"I-It was... someone called \'Black Chameleon\'. T-This is all I know! I swear!"

As soon as they heard the word \'Black Chameleon\', a few people\'s expressions changed drastically.

Mr. Klein, the inspector, Mrs. Rena, and Adrian had a pensive look on their faces while Mr. Hawke had a more surprised and irritated one.

"Did you say The Black Chameleon?" Mr. Klein asked, his voice a bit solemn.

"Y-Yes..." The black-robed men replied in unison.

"It seems we have the lead, isn\'t that right, Mr. TWAO agent?" Adrian smiled as he looked at Mr. Klein.

"Haha, y-you are right, student Adrian..."
