1551 Catching Everything in One Ne (2/2)
The issue of the European University Institute's students was rather sensitive. Captain Saks could not afford to let the others know about their existence, so they were all locked up in the secret prison. Every cell was covered by powerful magic, preventing the prisoners from casting any spells.
”Are my students alright?” Vani asked worriedly.
”Don't worry, they are fine. We aren't a bunch of bandits, why would we do anything to them?” Captain Saks laughed.
”Humph, don't let me see that Mo Fan again, or I swear I'm going to skin him alive!” Gangma grunted.
Gangma had been greatly tortured by Mo Fan. The wounds still hurt even now, but luckily, Vani had been smart enough to escort him here safely.
Vani took a few steps forward, and saw his students sitting in the cells in low spirits. They seemed to be overwhelmed by fatigue, but apart from a little frostbite, they did not have any injuries.
Vani let out a relieved sigh when he saw they were alive.
It was fine as long as everyone was still alive. If any of them died, the European University Institute was definitely going to fire him! On top of that, these students were all from formidable backgrounds and factions. They would clearly hold him responsible, too! Even if he blamed it on the Egyptian army, they would not dare to trouble a country's army, meaning that he would still have to take the blame!
Vani walked to the cells and called out, ”That's great, you all are still alive!”
”Mr. Vani, you came to save us. What did I tell you? If we placed our hope in Mo Fan, our hair would have turned gray by the time he showed up!” Galba exclaimed.
”He was so full of himself. If he didn't provoke the giant snake, we wouldn't even be here in the first place!” Ferrero sneered.
Zhao Manyan looked up and stared at Gangma and Captain Saks behind Vani.
Zhao Manyan might be trapped in ice, but he had clearly seen Mo Fan seizing Gangma as a hostage to guarantee their safety, yet the man had now returned...
He could guess with his toes that Vani must have secretly brought him back here!
They were in deep trouble; Mo Fan no longer had a bargaining chip! If the military was vicious enough, the soldiers might kill them all at any time!
Zhao Manyan did not feel relieved at all. He noticed Gangma and Captain Saks whispering to one another...

”What now? Should we release them?” Captain Saks asked softly.
”Are you out of your mind? Of course we can't let them go! Lock this Vani up, too! We'll deal with them later. There are three others still on the loose. They are clearly no ordinary people, judging from their strength. We should get our hands on them first, then decide what to do about them!” Gangma said coldly.
If they were planning to silence them all, they had to catch everyone first! If they decided to kill the hostages now, the other three would immediately run away and sue them at the International Court of Justice. The Egyptian army might not be afraid of the International Court of Justice, but it would still be very troublesome for them!
Their best option was to catch the rest, and then decide to either silence them or let them go!
Captain Saks looked at Gangma and saw a vicious look in his eyes. If they did get their hands on the rest that were on the loose, he believed Gangma was more inclined to silence them permanently!
