Chapter 156

After Zemel begrudgingly reported his progress to Taiboku, he left the clock tower with his cloak down, masking his appearance once more and heading back towards his hidden base. Once there, Zemel took off his cloaks completely while gritting his teeth in anger. Fury rose within him when he thought about what happened earlier in his day. Zemel let out a sigh as he opened a bottle of wine, pouring it into a glass. However, just before Zemel sipped his glass of wine, he saw an injured figure dressed in complete black lying in front of him. 

Zemel furrowed his brow; he moved closer towards the figure dressed in complete black. "Number One?" Zemel exclaimed after he checked the figure. Zemel took off Number One's clothes, and he found that Number One had burn injuries all over Number One's body. After seeing how badly Number One was injured, Zemel immediately went over to a room to his right. In that room lies several lit up crystals that were neatly arranged into a line.
