Meanwhile, Zivon and Ian had no idea that any of this was happening. After all, they were deep underground and surrounded by iron walls with no way to tell what time it even was… It was a miserable sight, to say the least, but Zivon remained as calm as ever.
It was already clear to him that the person who had helped Thomas was powerful enough to grant him access into the ceremony, and also contact the DA office to have them taken away. How else would everything have gone so smoothly?
Honestly, though, he was more worried about the other Frankstons. After all, the triennial presidential election would be held next month, and it was now clear as day what the mastermind’s true goal was…
Just as he was wondering how they were supposed to make a comeback, he heard the clanking of iron chains against the door… and figuring that that was his chance, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
With each step, the clanking grew louder… and once the person was right in front of him, he quickly grabbed them by the wrists and cupped their mouth! However, it was then that he realized that something was wrong… and upon giving the person a closer look, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
“…What are you doing here?”
Gagging a little after he let go of her, Ellen couldn’t help but grumble, “W-who else do you think could save you down here…”
“…You hypnotized all the guards on your way here?”
“Pretty much… Anyway, we don’t have a lot of time. I just came in here to make sure that you two were safe, and… You should know that most of the world is on your side. Alas, that probably means that the enemy will continue targeting you two… Between you and me, I overheard some guards mentioning killing Ian in secret and fabricating a story about him committing suicide out of guilt…”
Instantly squinting, Zivon growled, “That damned mastermind…! Listen, make sure to install a pinhole camera in Ian’s cell immediately. The second anyone enters the cell, start a live broadcast. That proof will be our ticket out of here! Oh, and hand him this pill. It’s capable of handling most intoxicating gasses, at least for a while.”
