Their faces showed obvious hesitation, as if they wanted to speak but restrained themselves.
"That's enough, this matter ends here."
The head of the Kanan Prison Camp raised a hand, stopping them from speaking.
Then he turned to the group, speaking calmly: "They met their fate because of this accident. Record them all as deceased, understood?"
"Understood!!"
The clerical staff responsible for records nodded quickly, then swiftly began writing in the work logs.
Their hurried actions and rapid writing seemed as if they feared this decision might be reversed.
The clerical staff was eager to declare these people dead.
Only then could higher-ups not track these individuals.
Naturally, their presence could not be traced… Yes, it was through their hands that the Shadow's descendants had originally been detained here.
At that time, it was through Garcia's influence that this group was placed here.
"Fortunately, this group of people died just like this..."
The clerical staff's pen moved quickly, sweat continuously dripping from his head.
"How could it be such a coincidence? Garcia, that bastard, was just captured by the Hunter Association, and here at the Kanan Prison Camp, someone went mad, right next to those descendants."
"And it's even the type with naturally explosive abilities."
"Whatever way you look at it, it seems like the big players decided to erase these people to clean up both ends..."
The clerical staff quickly calculated these thoughts while feeling a chill in his heart.
Not only him, but also the main personnel who set the tone for this incident thought the same.
Since big players were at work, they would just turn a blind eye.
Report the current situation as it appears.
After all, those big players created this situation and presented this result to them.
Naturally, they expected it to be reported this way.
In this way, it would serve as an explanation for them.
Additionally, the Kanan Prison Camp could take this opportunity to rid itself of this whirlwind and hot potato.
As for the dereliction of duty in failing to guard the prisoners, they hoped the big players would forgive them… the personnel responsible for setting the tone thought this, and the forensic experts and examiners were also shrewd.
"Since the leader and clerical staff want to resolve this matter quickly, there must be hidden truths that we do not know."
"So even if there's something suspicious in the autopsy, we will pretend not to see it."
"Everything must be done according to the superior's instructions; otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't be able to bear it."
The autopsy and forensic experts exchanged a glance, showing no objection; everything was understood without words.
They, small players, could not meddle in the battles of big players.
Otherwise, they would be the first to die.
Moreover… such incidents, with sudden death among prisoners, were not once or twice in this facility.
Even small players had to be wise to survive here…
"So, the leaders, thinking about the power struggle among the big players, mistakenly assumed this was the work of the big players and chose to turn a blind eye."
"And the clerical staff, due to previous collusion with Garcia, wanted to settle it quickly, fearing being implicated."
"The autopsy and forensic experts, mindful of the implications from above, remained silent and did not reveal the true autopsy results."
On a distant mountaintop outside the Kanan Prison Camp, Luke stood on a high cliff while looking at the distant facility with a smile on his lips: "With this, the Shadow's descendants are truly dead and have been erased from the world.
"They can shed the identity of sinner and live in this world with entirely new faces..."
Luke turned to look behind him at the group of Shadow's descendants who had fallen unconscious.
There was no doubt about the Blood Demon Madness Pill he had placed on the Arson Fiend.
The final self-detonation outcome was also within his expectations.
This was to cover the fact that the Shadow's descendants had been rescued and freed amidst the flames.
They successfully entered a state of feigned death, thus being recognized as dead, completely escaping their predicament.
As for why Luke did this… Look at the three young people constantly rushing about, wiping sweat from one person, checking another's breathing, making sure they were still alive.
The three were filled with tears; if not for the thought of disturbing their fellow clan members, they would have collapsed on the spot, weeping and crying bitterly.
Yes, these three young people were the three Luke had previously found: Gaki, Shura, and Rengoku.
Finding them was not difficult at all.
Even if they carried deep blood feuds and hid themselves well, Luke's numerous inventions for searching made their concealment meaningless.
When Luke appeared before them, naturally, these young people were greatly shocked.
Especially when Luke pointed out: "... I know you are the fugitives of the Shadow's descendants."
This single statement drained the color from the three young people's faces.
They thought Luke had come specifically to capture them.
Immediately, the three entered a state of tragic determination.
Their eyes reddened, gazes firm and resolute, filled with deep hatred toward Luke.
However, this hatred vanished instantly at Luke's next light statement: "I can help you rescue your clan members."
Then, Luke led the three silent, speechless individuals here.
Using the recent arson incident to perfectly conceal their movements, the Shadow's descendants were safely brought out.
The three were stunned.
But when they saw the familiar faces that had appeared in their dreams countless times reappear in reality, they could no longer contain themselves.
Tears filled their eyes; they could only run to vent their emotions.
They wanted to see how their clan members had been treated and tormented.
Each clan member was carefully and thoroughly checked.
The more they checked, the more painful and anguishing it became.
Finally, they all stopped the distressing actions.
After a moment of silence, they all came in unison to Luke.
After the trio stood before Luke, they simultaneously and uniformly knelt on the ground before him.
"From now on, you are our master."
Gaki was the first to speak, his voice extremely solemn and earnest: "Your orders, we will execute and follow them without hesitation!!"
Shura followed immediately, his words filled with reverence: "This is the only way we can think of to repay your kindness."
