At this moment, the Underground Temple was in complete chaos.
Duanmu Huai and his Doll Legion were locked in a furious battle with Iver and his men, the entire place a total mess.
For Iver, he had never imagined things would develop this far. He had thought he was luring his prey into a trap, only for it to turn into letting a wolf into his home. But for Duanmu Huai, everything was going exactly according to plan!
The BOSS might not have been stupid enough to confess his true objective before the fight began, but that did not matter to Duanmu Huai. The witnesses and evidence were all present, so who needed his testimony? He had not signed the Miranda Act. Iver had the right to remain silent, but Duanmu Huai still had the right to throw him in prison!
Incidentally, as soon as the battle began, Lorena followed the plan and joined the Mechanical Soldiers Duanmu Huai had summoned to smash open the gates and break out to meet the temple reinforcements. Once those people arrived, Duanmu Huai would not need to explain anything. Iver, on the other hand, would have to explain why he had built a temple devoted to an Evil God here... As for his reasons?
Who cared? Just fight!
Did they think spinning some tearjerking tale would make everyone stop fighting? Not a chance!
To an Inquisitor, motives were irrelevant. Only the outcome mattered. So forget about those games where people tried to whitewash themselves and beg for pity. No matter how tragic his backstory was, building an Evil God temple and secretly murdering people was more than enough to send him to the stake!
"You damned bastard!"
Iver was now caught between a rock and a hard place, barely able to hold on.
