"I've already had people contact the Kings of several nearby seas. They agreed to keep an eye on the Dark Sea Organization's movements."
The king said, "Go interrogate those captives now. Tell me immediately if you learn anything. Also, the Royal Palace library has plenty of records about other seas. You can look there as well—perhaps you'll find something about the Dark Sea Organization."
Lin Taichu and Aron thanked the King and immediately headed to where the captives were being held. They were imprisoned in a Dungeon beside the Royal Palace. There were more than a dozen of them, all captured earlier in the undersea cave.
They first interrogated a captive who looked rather timid. His leg had been injured by the guards during the battle, and he was still lying in bed. When he saw Lin Taichu and Aron enter, he trembled all over in fright.
Aron spoke first, his tone stern. "Tell me, which sea is the Dark Sea Organization from? Who is your leader?"
The captive stammered, "I... I don't know... I'm just a lowly lackey. I've only been in the organization for half a month. I only know that I'm supposed to obey the orders of those above me. I don't know anything else..."
Lin Taichu took out the black cloth they had found in the warehouse earlier and placed it before the captive. "Does everyone in your organization wear this kind of fabric? Are there any special markings?"
The captive looked at the cloth and nodded.
"Y-Yes... Everyone in our organization wears black clothes like this. But only the higher-ups have markings. There's... there's a silver skull head on the collar. I only saw it once, on a steward's clothes."
"A steward?" Aron pressed. "What was that steward's name? What was he in charge of?"
