Zachary. Now everything clicked. He was one of the guys that attacked him in the forest when he went on an outing with the Red Palace.
No, it wasn't just that. He was one of the guys he wanted to kill and that he was eager to find.
"Excuse me, sir," Erik said. "I came here to inform you a patrol of five had been killed."
Zachary's ears perked. He raised his head as he was looking at his computer. "A patrol was killed, you say? Why didn't I get words of this sooner?"
Zachary sighed.
"I'm sorry, sir, we just got words of it."
"Where?"
"At the park nearby, sir."
Zachary's expression darkened as he processed the news.
Frustration and concern flickered across his features, overshadowed by a growing sense of pressure.
"How could have this happen?" he said under his breath, the question more to himself than to Erik.
His mind raced. The park was supposed to be secure, a safe zone within their controlled territory.
That such a bold assault had occurred there was a grave sign, one that demanded immediate attention.
"Howell won't like it. There had been many attacks already and we don't have that many men."
"Sorry If I ask you this, sir, but do you have an idea why they are attacking us?" Erik didn't have a magical hat, he couldn't know the reason all of this was happening to them, he had to ask.
That question surprised Zachary. "Shouldn't you know? What have you been doing until now, hiding your head in the ground?"
"No, sir, it's just that I don't understand fully what is happening."
"No wonder you are a moron."
"Yes, sir. I'll make sure to stay vigilant."
Zachary, already on edge from the unsettling news, waved dismissively, expecting the officer to leave.
However, the man lingered, his posture suggesting a mind teeming with further inquiries.
This unexpected hesitation baffled Zachary, sending his already low opinion of the officer plummeting.
The room, thick with tension, seemed to contract around them as Zachary's patience wore thin.
It was clear he saw the officer's continued presence not just as an annoyance, but as a failure to grasp basic instructions.
To Zachary, this wasn't just incompetence; it was a blatant disregard for his authority.
"Is there something more?" He asked.
"Uh... yes. Can I ask you something else, sir?"
"Sure." Zachary turned to his computer again, but he was clearly annoyed.
"I heard you attacked some guys from the Red Palace once. Is that true?"
Zachary raised his head. "Who told you that?"
"These are just some rumors. So, is it true?"
"I'm not allowed to talk about this." Zachary grew restless.
"I heard you wasn't alone. There was also a guy who could induce pain, and one that could erase the surrounding sounds."
Zachary looked at Erik with suspicious eyes. His hands quickly went to his Panabas.
"There is no need to go on the defensive," Erik said.
He started channeling mana into his Instability brain crystal power's neural links and started affecting Zachary to make him calmer and keen to talk.
Zachary felt dizzy, that were the effects of the foreign mana.
The man was now many times weaker than Erik, and the mana he had could do nothing against the amount Erik held, which was now at least twice than his, so he couldn't even resist him.
The more time passed, the more Zachary felt weird.
"Sorry. It's just an old habit of mine," Zachary said in a subdued tone. "Well... yes, we were tasked to kidnap Erik Romano, the awakener..." the man didn't know why, but he felt like the officer in front of him was really trusting.
