Chapter 168 Jonas is Looking for the Culprit

Unlike the library they had found inside the shed, the one inside the mansion contained 'normal books.' There were no traces of dark magic or rituals that would send shivers down anyone's spine.

William and 03 worked together, browsing through the books for anything related to the seal on their bodies. It was a powerful seal, and neither of them knew how to destroy it.

03 grew increasingly frustrated. He

The only thing worrying William was the fact that the guard had seen him leave shortly before the library was breached. But now that they were working together, that was no longer a problem.

When it was time for William to tell his story, he knew exactly what to say.

When the guard was questioned, his account aligned perfectly with William's story.

"Yes, I saw him leaving and accompanied him to the bathroom. After that, he returned to his room. I didn't see anything else."

Jonas trusted his guard. "Well, so it wasn't the slaves… Who could have done it?"

There were just too many people working for Jonas, and it was getting hard for him to find the culprit.

What made things worse for him was the information that came next.

"Sir, there are no stolen books. Everything is at the exact same place."

One of the things that might help Jonas find the culprit was something like a book in its possession, but now, he wouldn't have that luxury. He was lost.

William was both happy that no one had found him, and worried at the same time. The guard knew his secret.

Would he ask for things? Would he try to manipulate him? Only time would tell what intentions the guard had.

'For now I should focus on using my sword to help Victoria...'

She was the only one capable of helping William escape.

During the afternoon of that same day, William stayed inside his room and used the sword to communicate with Victoria, who was close to leaving her village.
