The warden who guards the witches

At night, Aiden got off the cab and strode towards his apartment. It was late and there were basically no pedestrians on the road. It was not unusual for him to go home after working the night shift.

The moment the cab left, Aiden saw a tall man standing under the streetlight near the apartment. He stood there quietly like a signpost, as if waiting for someone.

After seeing Aiden get off the cab, the man immediately came up to him: "Mr. Garrod?"

Aiden stared at the man's face with his cane and replied bluntly: "I don't think I know you."

In this situation, he could more or less guess the other person's identity.

"Captain of the Intelligence Department of the Gistas Royal Secret Police. Just call me Rody." The other person introduced himself with a smile and took off his hat.

"It's not a competent intelligence officer to state his identity so openly." Aiden blinked.

The name is probably just a pseudonym, but the identity is definitely real.

What is coming will always come. After the bribery of the middle management of the prison failed, it was only natural to find him.

The recent events were not particularly peaceful, but he still insisted on walking back to his residence at night, and did not choose to stay in the prison, just to meet the other party in person.

"Anyway, you must have guessed who we are, right? We are here to show our attitude. If it is not necessary, we don't want to be your enemy." The other party smiled politely, "Can I have a chat?"

"No." Aiden replied, "Compared to talking to you, I would rather talk directly to your highest commander. He is also from the autonomous state."

The captain of the operation, Rody, was shocked. The fact that Count Heinz Rodman came to the autonomous state in person was a secret. So far, their superiors have only stood behind the scenes, but this person said it lightly.

Did he really know, or was it just a test?

Rody kept his face calm, and just when he was about to say something, his tongue suddenly seemed to be tied.

But it was only a moment of delay. After quick thinking, he smiled and replied, "What do you think?"

What a quick reaction - Aiden commented in his heart.

However, the other party did not deny it directly. From this point of view, although it cannot be said to be 100%, it is very likely that Count Rodman himself did come to the autonomous state to supervise the battle in person.

It was worth it that he had been walking at night with the "Wordless Code" these two days.

Rody felt cold sweat seeping out of his body. Just now, the rule of "No lying, violators will be punished with corporal punishment" naturally emerged in his mind. He instinctively smelled the breath of danger and did not choose to directly disobey this order.

It doesn't matter whether it is black magic or any other method. The important thing is that he realized that he had no means to counter it.

Standing in front of the other party without lying, there are not many secrets to speak of. For some more sharp and sensitive questions, not denying is the answer itself.

"How about listening to what we want to say first?" Rody raised his hand in surrender.

"What's there to talk about? You just want to bribe me, right?" Aiden replied indifferently.

The secret police couldn't get through the middle management, so they could only get through him. It would be difficult for the prison administration to directly intervene in the internal affairs of the Rose Iron Prison. In the end, they still had to go through him, the warden.

"The check has been inserted through the crack of your room. The amount is three times the previous amount. Of course, this is a deposit, and the official reward is also three times." Rody said, straightening his hat, "Please accept it."

"It won't be another bad check that can't be withdrawn, right?" Aiden said sarcastically.

"As long as you are willing to complete the transaction, we guarantee that such a situation will not occur." Rody said seriously.

"Your attempt to bribe the prison has been reported to the procuratorate. Even if I am the head of this prison, now asking others to commit crimes against the wind... The risk you want me to take is too great." Aiden asked.

"If you are worried about any worries in the autonomous state, our country is willing to provide you with asylum."

"Will you not be silenced after the asylum?" Aiden laughed.

"No, all we want is a result. As long as the result comes out, it doesn't matter even if the world knows it. We don't need to do anything to cover up the fact that we have done dirty work." Rody said seriously, "It is our duty to bear the bad reputation for our country."

Aiden understood what the other party meant. As long as Sera died, no one could pose a direct threat to the position of the new king. At that time, even if the world knew that it was the royal secret police who tried to assassinate Sera, it would not matter. No matter how much the nobles and ministers of the opposition opposed the new king, they could only rely on the feudal dynasty and could not collude with the Republican Party. Someone must sit on the throne of Gistasi. As long as they don't have to overthrow the entire royal family and change the dynasty, the opposition can only bow to the new king.

In other words, as long as the matter is accomplished, there is no need for the king to silence him.

"But this is not my duty." Aiden responded bluntly, "I don't want to bear this bad reputation. We are not the same kind of people."

"We can discuss the conditions again..."

"Sorry, I just don't need money." Aiden replied calmly.

"Okay." Roddy gave up quickly and took off his hat to say goodbye, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

He turned around and prepared to leave, but Aiden stopped him: "Don't leave so quickly, let's chat for a while?"

Roddy looked down: "Your way of keeping me is a bit too strong."

The pistol was in Aiden's hand, and the black muzzle was pointed at Roddy.

"If not, you might have to be polite to me." Aiden said with a smile, "I still have a lot of things I want to ask you. My home is nearby, let's have a cup of tea before leaving. Did you set an ambush at my house?"

"No." Roddy raised his hand and replied.

"Then let's go."

Aiden forced Roddy into the house with a gun and went straight back to his room. Before entering the door, he let Roddy walk in front.

There was indeed no sign of anyone touching the room, but there was an envelope on the ground.

When Aiden closed the door, Roddy suddenly spoke: "Although I said that we didn't set an ambush, it doesn't mean that we don't have a backup plan. Warden, you are only causing trouble for yourself."

"Don't distort the facts. I am just managing my prison normally. It is you who are causing trouble for me." Aiden replied calmly.

"We really don't want to be your enemy, but we have to complete the mission." Roddy said calmly, "In fact, we are also good at tougher means, but the order is different."

As soon as the voice fell, Aiden heard a strange sound from the door lock behind him.
