Chapter 976. A Request to Investigate

Jack couldn't see the sky from inside his jail cell, but he estimated he had spent a night in there. He thought it must be morning now. He felt fresher after a night of sleep. Contrary to his expectation, he actually slept rather soundly last night.

He wondered if any of his friends had learned about his situation, and what would they do about it. But then again, what could they do? They couldn't be going against the entire kingdom for him, could they? Well, that would be a sight to be seen.

"You don't look like someone who is worried," Peniel remarked after seeing Jack's slightly grinning face.

"I AM worried," Jack uttered. "But you need to let your thoughts amuse you once in a while. Otherwise, it's not healthy to get overstressed."

The sound of a door being opened was heard.

"Does that pig return again?" Peniel asked.

"Maybe he forgot to brag about something last night," Jack joked.
