Just then, Chester walked in through the door as well.
"Oh, everyone's here? Why did you summon us so urgently, Val?" Val leaned back in his chair and gazed at the three coolly.
Chester turned to look at Cormick and Torah. Cormick's silence was not surprising, but given how quiet Torah was today, he knew that something unpleasant had gone down.
Val jerked Chester out of his reverie as he said sharply, "I shall be sharing how the Savior Project is going to work with everybody." Torah wanted to leave, but a mysterious force washed over him and pinned him down.
Val added, "The fundamental purpose of the Savior Project is to remove the Illuminion's presence from our country and overthrow the royal family. However, the Illuminion's presence is not easy to remove.
"Cormick, I'm sure you have found out their most recent movements. Share them with us!"

Listen, we don't have any other choice, nor do we have the means to help anyone else. Content belongs to en.kikistories"I spent days and nights sifting through and picking from countless languages. This is the best ending I could cup with. Do you understand?" As Val undid his spell, the three collapsed on the ground and clutched at their throats as they gasped for breath.
"My throat felt like someone had wrapped their hand around it!" Torah wheezed.
The three got to their feet and turned to Val again. Chester, who was now the calmest one among them, asked, "Why did you tell us all this, Val? Wouldn't it have been easier to keep us in the dark and have us continue being your pawns?" Val shook his head.
