Chapter 133: The Interrogation(1) (1/2)

As the guard was tongue-tied, Jake took the chance to examine all the royals that were watching him like he was the focus of a show.

He didn't find out who he searched for. So, he asked, ”Where is she?”

His words were directed to Prince Roan--well, he was not a prince anymore.

However, Roan knew who Jake was referring to, ”Cheyenne is in the same state as you. She is recuperating.”

”How many days has it been?” said Jake.

Based on the words of Roan, he had probably unconscious for a while. It was understandable as the scale of his fight with Cheyenne touched the border of [Realm-3]. It was destructive to the point that Cheyenne's transformation granted her the power of a new [Realm-3] warrior.

'Transformation, eh,' mused Jake

To be honest, he had not yet digested everything that happened in the fight. He needed time alone to process.

Despite that, he knew clearly that he had lost.

He had lost to his peer. Whatever power Cheyenne used, it was still her power.

”Heh,” burping out a chuckle, Jake confused those who were watching him sternly.

However, the outcome of the battle did not dent Jake's mind. The young man had long known of people who could rival him in power.

He didn't care a bit of a loss. It was not the first time he had lost a battle.

Also, there were other things he was more worried about.

For instance, what would become of him now? Would he be a prisoner? Judging by the looks on his captors' faces, he seemed to be heading down that path.

”It's been a week since you blacked out,” answered Roan after deliberating on it.

'A week....Now, I see why the healer said she saved my life,' thought Jake.

Anyone that was unconscious for more than a week was basically on the periphery of life and death.

In Jake's case, he was already at death's door and about to enter it when he was pulled back by the healer.

So, this basically means he had almost killed himself while fighting!.

He examined the looks on everyone's face, trying to determine his fate.

”How did you know about the underground system,” questioned Conan, after going through a lot of thinking.

”It wasn't exactly hidden. That might even be the trick; it was hidden in plain sight,” smiled Jake.

He remained courteous as he fully explained, ”After a chance upon with two masked men, I found a closed underground channel. Ultimately, following my guess and the maps in the library, I found one of the actual tunnel entrances.”

The king, Conan, softly muttered, ”...masked men…...”

He frowned as he interjected, ”Did you know about the invasion?”
