Silence.
Deafening silence took over the members of the Recon Unit.
They could not move their bodies for some reason, else they would have fled. Besides, even if they ran, they would still be stuck under Ater's illusion.
The mere fact that Ater was here meant that the Mercenary Gang lost. Hence, if he wanted to, he could also unleash the Undead he previously unsummoned and wreck them.
Bottom line… there was no escape.
"You don't need to answer the question. It was rhetorical…" Ater chuckled as he looked at the group with hidden delight.
They all gulped simultaneously.
"I want information. No, more than that…" Ater rubbed his chin as he spoke.
"I plan on controlling your group so you can scour the entire Alliance and sniff out as much as you can far and wide. Since you're considered elite, you must be pretty good, right"
The Recon Unit members shuddered as they heard what the man before then was saying.
