Edward Scissorhand awoke with a fright in the darkness.
In his mind, he saw images of the battle last night. The screaming, blood, inferno, and those terrifying "monsters"…
Edward shook his head as a bandit came to the door and knocked, saying, "Chief, the Sacred Kingdom's Slave Merchant is here."
"Good, bring that Hoodlum over."
Edward Scissorhand sat up and washed his face before walking out.
A Human wearing rich noble clothing and a golden ring stood in the main hall with a few servant escorts.
That Human looked nervous, and he said to Edward Scissorhand, "May the Holy Lord bless you, Edward."
"Same to you, my dearest partner."
Edward Scissorhand was familiar with this Human. After a simple greeting, a few bound prisoners were brought in. One of them was the wounded Hoodlum.
Hoodlum looked attentively at the scene while he took screenshots in his mind. How could he miss such an exciting Hidden Plot?
