Bab 255: The oath

Harvey, Susan, Wiliams, Luciana, and Lance knew that as soon as they swore on their lives to be truthful to Harold and work together to make sure the culprit was found, they wouldn't be able to turn back. 

"You have the chance to leave now," Harold said as he watched each of them calmly. 

Each of them exchanged glances between themselves, but the longest was between Susan and Williams, who knew what this meant for them. 

Lance, on the other hand, wanted to leave. He kept looking around for someone who was going to stand up first so he would follow suit, but neither of them did. 

Harvey reached to pick up one of the daggers, and as soon as he took it, Alvin appeared beside him and snatched it from his hand, causing Harvey and the others to look at him in confusion. 

Alvin ignored their looks and simply pushed the bowl close to them before he opened his palm for Harvey to give him his hand.
