The Witch Hunter System

After hearing Vaan ’s claim, Captain Rhys immediately exploded with outrage and glared at his men.

He didn ’t doubt Vaan ’s words for even a second—not because he believed Vaan, but because he was well aware of his men.

They were still new recruits, untrained, undisciplined, self-entitled, and weak-minded.

The Steelguard Escort Group ’s training would teach them to become respectable warriors like real men. But before they complete the training, they are still brats sucking on their mamas ’ tits.

”Who was it?! Who did it?! ” Captain Rhys bellowed with rage as he glared at the young warriors one by one.

At the same time, the young warriors were so shocked and intimidated by Captain Rhys ’s pressure that they froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word of response.

”It ’s not a matter of who did it, but why he did it. Isn ’t that right? ” Vaan casually stared at Caelan with an all-knowing yet sly look.

Caelan immediately felt a cold chill as Captain Rhys shifted his gaze to him. In that instance, the split-second guilt in his eyes quickly sold him out.

Captain Rhys didn ’t need to interrogate to understand that Caelan was indeed the culprit.

”I ’m very disappointed in you, Caelan. In fact, I ’ve been disappointed with all of your performances during this escort mission. However, you, Caelan, have succeeded in surpassing everyone in terms of disappointing me! ” Captain Rhys spat gloomily.

He hated traitors with a great passion, but he forced himself to suppress the urge to kill in order to listen to Caelan ’s excuse.

”C-captain, I can explain…. ” Caelan stuttered.

”You can explain, can you?! What kind of explanation can you possibly give that makes it okay to betray everyone, huh?! ” Captain Rhys barked furiously as his killing intent intensified by the moment.

Caelan immediately became desperate.

”I was going to die if I didn ’t tell them what they wanted to know! What else was I supposed to do?! Tell me, Captain! What was I supposed to do?! Am I supposed to just accept my death?! ” Caelan cried.
