The Captive

"So, we're in a very bad situation now." The lenses of his glasses reflected the light as Hange and Levi, who had rushed to the Trost District, met up with the others.

Moblit stood behind Hange, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Did the Central Military Police arrest Eren and Historia? What does the Royal Government want with them?"

The Central Military Police not only arrested Eren and his group, but are now also falsely accusing the Survey Corps of having a traitor colluding with the Titan.

Levi leaned against the wall, his eyelids drooping, and said calmly, "It's still unclear. That guy's tough; even torture won't make him talk."

Hange crossed her arms in front of her. "Erwin has a guess, but it's just a guess. What we need now is to verify that guess. So, Levi, that prisoner is our breakthrough point."

Levi: "Tch, got it."

"I'm sorry for your men; apart from Aiya, they all died in battle." Levi said, a hint of guilt appearing on his previously cold face.

After Hange reunited with Levi, she learned that three of her men had died at the hands of the Central Military Police. "They didn't die in vain, Levi. We can't let these Soldiers Dedicate Your Hearts for humanity be disheartened."

On the other side.

"Mikasa! Calm down! You'll kill him if you keep going like this!" Armin desperately stopped Mikasa from her rage.

Mikasa's fists were covered in blood, but don't get me wrong, it wasn't Mikasa's own blood.

Driven by rage, Mikasa seemed to have lost her temper. "You bastards! Where did you take Eren?! Tell me!" Mikasa roared angrily at the man tied to a chair in front of her.

The man's face was covered in blood, his eyes were black and blue, his hair was disheveled, and when he opened his mouth, almost all his teeth had been knocked out, and blood was flowing from his mouth.

His uniform was tattered, but it was still recognizable as the one from that day.

The uniform worn by the Central Military Police.

That's right, the man was a prisoner who was incapacitated after being stabbed in the abdomen by Annie and thus captured by the Survey Corps.

After the Survey Corps was forced to retreat, the prisoner who had been stabbed and fell unconscious from mid-air was brought back by the Survey Corps, which became their only breakthrough.

Unfortunately, this Central Military Police William was extremely stubborn, and even Levi and his men couldn't pry open William's mouth using terrible torture.

Even plucking William's fingernails one by one couldn't subdue him.

"Heh, heh heh, ptooey, you trash, don't even think about making me betray the King, heh." William sneered at the numerous Survey Corps Soldiers in front of him.

When William saw Mikasa, his eyes involuntarily flickered. This madwoman had broken William's fingers one by one, then put them back in, then broken them again, and put them back in again...

Even someone as resolute as William almost couldn't hold back, but William, his faith in the King was even stronger, and in the end, the Survey Corps didn't succeed.

Thinking of this, William opened his mouth, which had few good teeth left, and let out a silent laugh.

"Damn it!" Mikasa couldn't stand this provocation and immediately wanted to rush up and kill this despicable bastard.

But Armin held her back. Armin knew very well that they had no intelligence at all, and the only person they had who might be able to reveal information was this prisoner.

"Mikasa, please calm down! If this guy dies, we won't be able to save Eren and Historia."

Everyone else watched this scene, and no one knew what to say.

Everyone can feel Mikasa's feelings for Eren, but William is completely unmoved and there's no way to win him over.

Click, the door was pushed open, and Yago walked into the room. After assessing the situation, Yago went to Annie's side.

Yago was also a human capable of transforming into Titan, just like Eren, a fact that initially shocked everyone.

But these days, Eren, Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie are Titan, and now even Ymir and Yago are Titan. Furthermore, Reiner and the others are enemies of humanity.

Humans built walls to protect themselves, but Reiner and his crew destroyed them, allowing humanity to be ravaged by Titan.

Having seen so many of his Comrade who could transform into Titan, everyone gradually got used to Yago's ability to become Titan.

"Or did you say nothing at all?" Yago asked Annie beside him.

Annie shook her head, then tentatively asked, "Should I try using Marley interrogation methods?"

Yago smiled and refused, "No, Annie, you're not a tool. Just do your job well."

"Waaah..." The extremely faint sobbing sound in his ear caught Yago's attention.

Yago looked closely and saw that it was Mikasa crying, her eyes red and swollen. "Why, why did you have to take Eren away? Why?"

"Mikasa..." Armin was at a loss, wanting to comfort Mikasa but not knowing how to start.

Bang! The door opened again, Levi entered the room, followed by Hange and Moblit.

"Oh, so this is the Central Military Police who wouldn't speak?"

Hange leaned closer to William, stroking her chin, and said, "Are all the Central Military Police this tenacious? I underestimated you."

William: "Heh heh, our faith in the King cannot be shaken by a bunch of rabble like you. You want me to betray the King? Just kill me!"

Swish! A cold glint flashed in Levi's eyes as he placed a Blades against William's neck, his tone dangerous. "You think we wouldn't dare?"

"Come on! Kill me if you dare! I'm willing to give my life for the king!" William acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Levi gritted his teeth, really wanting to kill this guy outright, but ultimately restrained himself.

He punched William hard.

"We must get intelligence as soon as possible; the longer we wait, the more dangerous things will become for Eren and Historia." Hange understood the urgency of the situation.

Erwin needs this too.

Just as everyone hesitated, Yago suddenly walked up to William, "Captain, can I borrow your sword?"

Levi frowned, unsure of Yago's intentions, but Yago's actions proved he was not an enemy.

Levi handed the knife to Yago.

Yago: "Thanks." He then slashed William's arm with a knife.

Blood gushed from the wound. Everyone was puzzled. Even pulling out fingernails couldn't subdue William, so what could a small wound do?

Yago sighed, "It might seem a bit perverse, but we have no choice but to give it a try."

Yago stretched out his finger, dabbed it with William's blood, and then put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, everyone, including Annie, was dumbfounded. What on earth was going on?!
