"H-help...."

"Argh...."

Sounds of humans groaning in pain or asking for help reverberated inside the underground chamber.

Through the limited lighting from the candles, Hileo could see rows of prison rooms imprisoning humans from varying ages.

The only similarity between them was they looked extremely poor, sick or have some form of disability.

'Tsk, this doesn't seem like normal human trafficking.' Hileo thought since nobody wanted a sick and disabled slave.

Roaming around the area, he realized that none of the prisoners seem to be sober since none of them realized that a weird man was walking just outside their prison cells. They either have been drugged or just too weak to bother with anything else.

Suddenly Hileo heard sounds of footsteps coming from the opposite side of where he came from.

  - Thud thud

"Those bastards. How many more should we search around? If all of them gone missing, the imperial guards will be suspicious and some of the beggars might even report it to the imperial guards and they will definitely come here to investigate even though we had bribed Count Denovan to cover for us."

"Shhh, just do your job or do you want to be the sacrifice? Isn't it easier to capture this kind of sacrifice. Do you know those lunatic priests wanted our leader to go capture Hileo Aragon. He wanted that devil to be the main sacrifice. Crazy bastard!"

"Even the emperor didn't dare to do anything to that devil so how can we capture him?"

"Forget it. They said they already found a substitute just now. They found a weak male vagrant that have white silver hair and red eyes. He didn't seem too old nor too young thus the perfect sacrifice to call upon our dear God to descend on Earth and bestowed us with power and wealth."

"Hey, I've counted, none missing. Let's get out and capture that so called substitute."

"It is just one weak man who had starved for who know how long so isn't it easy to bring him down."

"Whatever, let's settle our job quick and grab a drink later."

"Great idea. Let's wait until the sermon ended."

The two men walked away after they finished inspecting that there was nothing wrong with the prisoners.

Listening to their words, Hileo managed to confirm his suspicion. The wellfare organization did indeed suspicious, it was a heretic group believing in the so called God who needed specific sacrifice.

"And the people like me turn out to be the best sacrifice. Tsk, talked about bad luck."

Feeling that he already gather enough information, he decided to escape first and asked for reinforcement thus he went back towards where he came from.

Or so he thought but looking at the unfamiliar alleyway, he knew he had lost his way again.

And to add more to his seemingly already bad luck, a door suddenly appeared on the wall by his right side and surprise surprise, the priest who previously talked to him suddenly came out from the door with a man that looked like a higher ranking members of the organization from his expensive looking robe.

The three of them looked at each other since none of them ever expected to see another person.

"........." Ah, I got discovered am I?
