Mandragora Chapter 43 Preview
Here’s the sneak peek for the upcoming interrogation in next week’s chapter!
Grunt crossed the room and took a seat opposite of the trio, keeping the same serious expression he had worn earlier.
He placed the folder on the table and started flipping through it, looking at document after document and photograph after photograph. They sat there in silence as he leafed through the folder. The atmosphere was tense as they waited for him to say something. This was all a game—he was trying to get them to crack under the pressure, make them so nervous that they would say anything. Erwin was almost relieved that Grunt hadn’t seemed to learn anything from their last meeting.
After a couple more minutes of silence, Grunt sighed and closed the folder, looking at the three of them with steely gray eyes.
“Alright,” he said, his voice gruff. “Who would like to start?”
Erwin cleared his throat, shifting in his seat as he let go of Alice and Caleb’s hands. “I will.”
“So now you’re willing to talk,” Grunt huffed. “Or are you going to pull more of that lawyer shit?”
“No, no lawyer shit,” Erwin said. “I’ll tell you everything.”
Alice turned to him in surprise. “Wait, Erwin—!”
“It’s okay,” he said, meeting her eyes. He gave her a look that he hoped said “I know what I’m doing.” The message must have been clear because she settled down, a sober look crossing her face. Caleb reached over and placed a hand on Erwin’s knee, encouraging him to go on. Erwin looked back at the General. “We came here to kill Her—the plant.”
