Cole currently looked malnourished. Any type of healing magic that dealt in the replacement of dead or missing cells, like regeneration magic, used up a lot of energy, not from the caster, but from the recipient of the spell. If it was a normal person, they would have died already.
"Tell me where the relic is. I have been in contact with Beatrice ever since you were in that place, so I know you had the ancient relic on you. I won't repeat myself, I want to know where the relic is, and I also want to know where Beatrice is. I have been trying to reach her for over two weeks now."
In an almost inaudible voice, Cole replied.
"Go and suck your dick and man tits instead of trying to lay it on me. I'm not into dudes, not to talk more of even thirty-three-year-old uncles. Ptui!!"
Gabe saw this exchange and gained a little more respect for Cole. Cole didn't rat him out nor talk of any other implicating deeds that would cause the ex-specimen any more trouble.
Slap!!
The witch that was in charge of keeping Cole alive slapped him.
"Shut your damn mouth. Do not speak to Master Gordon like that," she said.
"Can't we just kill him already Master Gordon?" She asked.
"My dear Anna, I'm afraid that extreme torture is the highest we can reach, and that is even possible thanks to your skills in healing magic. If he should die, then surely, even if it is not now, I will be exposed, and the family would not let me off easy. He is a scorn on our name but there are still rules to follow," Gordon replied.
"Then how about taking away his manhood from him forever, surely, you would be praised for stopping the spread of his dirty seeds in the future," Anna said.
Everyone was shocked.
'That woman is vile,' Rose thought.
'Does she have some kind of beef with Cole?' Jack thought.
Hearing what the witch Anna said, some energy was able to return to Cole's body. He then looked at the witch with clear eyes and an is that so expression on his face.
"Bitch... I mean witch, do we have any beef? I don't know you, I've never seen you in my life, so what the hell have I done to you that would make you talk about taking my precious balls away?" Cole asked.
"You disrespecting my master is every reason I need," Anna replied.
This reply spurred Cole on as he started arguing with Anna, leaving everyone baffled. At the other side where Gabe, Rose, and Jack, were hidden, some quick plans were being made for how they would pull off the final phase of their plan, which was the part they rescued Cole.
"I think this whole casino building is messing with our brains," Gabe said.
"How so?" Rose asked.
"Well for starters, that witch Anna used magic, but we didn't even question how it was possible, as we all know that the casino has a strong anti-magic field present," Gabe said.
"Holy heavens, you are right. I saw it as a completely normal thing when I know full well that it is not normal, given the fact that the whole casino as you said, should have a strong anti-magic field present. If you had not mentioned this anomaly now... Damn," Rose said.
"Just a random thought, but I think it's also how they reel in customers, if it's possible, I think after we rescue Cole, we should investigate," Jack said.
"It would help to have dirt on the Green Casino don't you think?" Jack asked.
"If we can we will, our newly formed organization needs every advantage it can get in this world," Rose said.
"Look at who is proactive, I thought you were against this stuff originally?" Jack asked.
Rose just looked at Jack without saying a word again, rolled her eyes and then hissed.
"There is also something else. Right now I can remember something. I thought that forgetting about the possibility of there being cameras was an error on my side but now I can remember clearly that I also made plans to tackle that issue also. We were originally supposed to split up, just as Abel did in order to find the control room and switch the cameras off. In hindsight, I think I should have told you guys the plan before we reached the casino. I'm very sorry for that," Gabe said.
"Now, I know apart from storage bracelets, some of you also have storage rings, and I also know that those people in particular would want to test and see if the anti-magic field of the casino is truly present," Gabe said.
Rose and Gabe then turned to face Jack.
"Yeah, I know it was a stupid thing to do," Jack said.
"No Jack, you are brilliant, an absolute genius, thank you for doing that. Seeing that the witch there is able to cast spells, it means this area isn't covered by the anti-magic field, so, we can access the storage ring. I know you must have packed some of the good stuff we prepared," Gabe said.
Gabe requested for a magic detector. He then tweaked it and used it as a trap detector. Doing this, he saw that if they had stepped into the room, they would have been toast. Next up he asked for a flash bang, a gun, and a wave disruptor, and Jack gave them to him. The wave disruptor was to turn off all magical enchantments, arrays, and formations. It was like an EMP for both magical and electrical devices. One thing was that the formations in the room were high grade so the wave disruptor could only do some temporary work there and that's where the gun came in. In order not to waste time he planned to kill the evil witch with a headshot and shoot the wicked uncle's knees, and finally, the flash bang was for adding more spice to the mix.
'Hehe! Spice to affect sight, so that our identities would be kept out of light' Gabe thought.
