Lord Rendry would not be assigning Emery a Supreme anytime soon.
It seemed he needed to consult the king before making such arrangements, so Emery decided to return to the chamber he had been given.
All five prisoners were already bound, making it easy for him to transfer them into his inner domain.
He chose a quiet corner of the underground prison and had the five locked inside separate cells, their limbs restrained with additional bindings. Once everything was in place, Emery began preparing an array.
The prisoners reacted in different ways.
The barbarian was the loudest, thrashing violently against his restraints and cursing anyone within earshot. The former military captain, Dorren, appeared to have accepted his fate, sitting silently with his head lowered. The evil cultivator trembled in fear, while the two assassins remained quiet, their eyes constantly observing Emery and the surroundings.
