Chapter 30 - 30:Variables [5]
Following the lead of the horned figure, I descended deeper into the underground cave system.
Of course, the book did not describe the headquarters of a villainous organization, so I curiously surveyed my surroundings while maintaining my calm facade.
Looking at my comrades, I realized I was out of place in displaying a calm appearance as the rest were trembling with fear and nervousness.
They had failed their mission and would likely be demoted or reprimanded harshly.
In the original story, these kidnappers were captured by the officials and subjected to torture until they revealed the measly information they had, so I have no idea why they're nervous instead of relieved.

Paying careful attention to the robot-like assassins, I imitated their actions perfectly to ensure that the horned figure didn't notice anything.
After the set of doors was within 10 feet of us, the horned figure turned around and addressed us.
" *sigh* Wait here, I'll report to the superiors..."
Like the others, I stood to the side and watched the horned figure open the wooden doors, hoping to catch a glance inside; however, the doors shut before I could see anything.
As I patiently waited for the horned figure to reemerge, I realized that everything had actually gone according to plan.
