There was a light drizzle that otten its share ofto the ancient city

Harde exited the diner with a bag in his grip It was his staple- sour pickles and a very dark and tough rye bread The man crossed the street and entered Nureeted him and he returned a polite smile

He walked past the lobby and entered a corridor At the end of the as a stone staircase He ascended it and entered another corridor The light was scarce in the confined space and the air wasthe corridor were cell rooms that looked ancient Some of the stone walls within were carved with Arabic words that praised their God There were even strings of words that talked about finding freedom and love From the content littered over the wall, this place had probably served as a holding cell for the prisoners of the Arab world during the Crusades

Harde continued forward until he reached a door at the end of the corridor Sturdy as used for the base of the door and the metal bars that provided it added security were immensely thick On both sides of the door were braziers raved on it Despite that, the braziers were no longer in use In place of theht that illu particularly eerie

Harde came to the door and unlocked it with a set of keys

Behind the door was a cell of about twenty squarethat resembled one was a patch of dead weeds On top of the pseudo bed was a ed clothes veiled his rown past his waist Froth of his hair, it was evident that it had been some time since he had arrived here Perhaps it had been a few years or tens of years

At a corner of the room was a wooden bucket filled with excretory products that e-haired male was soundly asleep He wasn’t even bothered by Harde’s entry

Harde tossed the food bag onto the bedding and kicked his thigh He roughly exclaimed, “Hey, bastard! Your food is here Couests today”

“Who?” The h bullshi+t!” reprimanded Harde

The man abruptly sat up froroin When he laid a on the verge of death However, when he attacked, his speed and accuracy were like a venorass He was harmless when stationary but as soon as he leapt into action, he was a threat!

Harde frantically stepped back

The prisoner lifted his ar his face It was a sharp and sunken face His facial hair was long, adding age to his appearance Despite that, the lack of wrinkles at the end of his eyes was an indication of his youth He looked downright awful and yet, his eyes were sharper than a hawk

There was a large cobra tattoo on his raised arue looked particularly maleficent

“If you wanted to killbut a lowly subordinate, quit acting like soshot” The man finally spoke His voice was hoarse and cold Every word reeked of disdain

Harde lunged forward and knocked the man’s head with the pistol

The man silently stared at Harde

It was then that Harde ca his attack and stepped back to safety He scoffed and shook his head “I won’t be fooled The guy you killed three years ago How long did it take you to agitate hi-haired man answered “You’re smarter, but it’s all the sae to escape this place, I’ll imprison your wife and children I’ll feed thele day I’m sure your ould love the taste of e “Keep drea, you’re bound here for eternity This is where you’ll end your life I suggest that you spill everything you know before it’s too late As long as you spit it out, you’ll be free of this torment You can enjoy freedo-hairedon the floor A flash of hatred whizzed through his eyes and he sto broke apart, the rye bread flattened by the force The sour olives were not spared

Harde scoffed “Stop doing unnecessary things like this You know better All the food you destroy, you will still eat This is all you have for a day This portion is only enough for one ry all the time I bet you’ll eat a dead rat if there was one, let alone this trash co-hairedHarde attention

At thisthe three that entered the cell, there was only one fahtened his posture and saluted the man
