章 72: The Hideaway Humans

Theodore Varken was a man who was quite adept at the art of lying.

He had spent his whole life doing so, and as a result he had accumulated a lengthy assortment of excuses and misdirections to get him out of any given situation.

And yet… everything within his being was telling him not to use any of those right now.

Every bone in his bulbous body was screaming out to him loudly that telling even a single lie here would result in a terrible consequence.

He had to tell the truth today.

"T-They do not belong to me! I do not know where they come from, all I know is that they appear before me after a high value item goes up and they demand that I get them close to whoever buys it!"

Taira felt his vision narrow as he continued to hold Theodore by the tusk.

He could tell that his captive was indeed not lying, which meant that he would have to switch his tactics around just a bit.

'Drop him.'

Bang!
