Countermeasure Department, underground temporary prison.
The original underground prison had been destroyed during the Tokyo Incident, and reconstruction work still hadn't been completed.
In the meantime, the Countermeasure Department had no choice but to offer up several underground Training Grounds and convert them into temporary prisons to hold criminals.
Over the past few days, the Countermeasure Department had been making arrests all over the place, rounding up a batch of Monsters and locking them inside this heavily guarded basement.
Tonight in particular, they had not only reassigned many frontline combat personnel to guard the prison, but even the department director had come in person to keep watch.
He wanted to see for himself how the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters planned to take the Monsters away from under such a tight cordon.
The department director wasn't doing this out of a sense of duty. He had a personal motive.
He didn't approve of the government making a deal with Fang Cheng. If all the Monsters in Area 11 were eliminated, the Countermeasure Department's power and size would both be reduced to some degree.
The Countermeasure Department existed because there were Monsters. If the Monsters were gone, what need would there be for the department?
That was why the director had made such a show of coming to protect this group of Monsters tonight.
As long as they weren't taken away, he would have grounds to delay or cancel the deal.
He waited until midnight. Seeing that the Monsters in the cells hadn't made a move, the director gave a cold laugh.
"He can't even take the Monsters in my prison, yet he claims he can take all the Monsters in Area 11? Even a loudspeaker can't outdo him when it comes to bragging."
That said, the director was still cautious
