25 Sisa (2/2)
Pedro knew this was his only chance to save his hide. It didn't matter if they found Buencamino's hideout, as long as he could get out of here, he'd just run away, but before he could say anything else, his head already left his body.
Luna knew how shameless these low lives can be. He wasn't about to waste time listening to his drivel.
This shocked the soldiers even more. This man was actually so ruthless, not to mention, that even with some of them, especially Paco, being level 20, they couldn't even follow his movements.
”If you all want to find answers, come with me.” Luna kept his weapon as he walked towards the basement's direction. After opening the entrance, everyone was in shock. Women were all chained like dogs, completely naked.
He had already expected it, but Luna was still surprised. It was one thing to know the evils of humanity, but it was another thing to witness it for yourself. Walking over to where the private room was, he noticed a woman in particular hugging her knees, saying to herself, ”Crispin, Basilio, my sons. Where are you?” repetitively. Hearing this, he looked towards Sura, this was Sisa, the mother of the two children. Luna knelt down on one knee in front of her, and asked her ”Is your name Sisa?” the woman flinched when he got close, a sign that she had been abused to a great extent, so Luna didn't mind her actions.
”You're the mother of Crispin and Basilio, correct?”
Hearing this, her eyes widened, ”You, you, you know where my sons are? Quickly, please tell me, where are my sons? My dear Crispin, my sweet Basilio, are they safe?”
”Mn, rest assured. Not only are they safe, but they are much stronger as well. If you would like, you can come with us. They've been wanting to search for you as well.” Luna wanted to pat her shoulder to assure her, but he knew that having physical contact with someone who has suffered so much abuse, this soon, might not be what she needed.
After releasing her and the rest of the women, they followed Sura upstairs to get a change of clothes, while Luna dragged Buencamino by his neck. He wanted to kill the guy right then and there, but he knew that the women he had abused would want to have some justice for themselves.
It was also a way that he could gain people's trust, when they see him as someone who obtained justice for these innocent women. After all, what he needed the most was manpower if he wanted his <Nation> to flourish.
As soon asthe women were dressed, he brought Buencamino out in front of the people, while instructing some men to call everyone over. As he was waiting for everyone, Luna approached the old Caucasian man from earlier, ”Are you Gerard Mathieu Leman?”
The old man, along with the soldiers beside him were all surprised. ”How did you know my name?”
”I noticed you were looking around. I know you must be wondering, but Elise isn't here.” Luna informed him.
”Elise, my daughter, do you know where she is?! Is she safe?”
”General Leman, you have my guarantee. Not only is she safe, but at this point, she's already stronger than you or any of your men. Once my business here is done, I'll take you to her.” After giving him his guarantee, Luna went back over as people were almost done gathering. As he saw Buencamino looking as if he had lost his soul, he knew that this man was aware that he was about to receive his reckoning.
