Chapter 126:

Missed by a Hair's Breadth

"When we made the deal, you didn't mention handing over my body to you. It's not that I'm absolutely against it, but your sudden approach has me a bit nervous," Dailey hesitated, and glancing at Priscilla but not recognizing her. "Is this lady going with me as well? With four people in a day, Warden, aren't you indulging a bit too much?"

Huh?

What is this woman saying?

Aiden grew more bewildered as he listened.

Initially, he had approached Dailey to persuade Priscilla, but it seemed like the effect was somewhat....

Sure enough, Priscilla expression darkened visibly at an alarming rate. "Is this what you call... a deal?"

Aiden immediately stared at Dailey, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Um, didn't you, bring that succubus across from me and Priscilla to your office?" Dailey asked in confusion.

"You bastard, what have you done to my body!?" Priscilla couldn't hold back her outrage when hearing this, and forcefully trying to break free from the shackles that bound her to the chair. "Enough, I want to leave this place! Let me out!"

"Hey, don't move! Sit down!" Aiden sternly addressed Priscilla before turning back to Dailey. "Stop talking nonsense, I have a serious matter to investigate!"

"Warden, why do you need to resort to such excuses? What investigation requires the use of a succubus?" Dailey's expression turned somewhat subtle.

"I'm just borrowing her dream infiltration ability. Hasn't she already returned to her cell? I instructed her to go back and explain things to the other inmates properly!" Aiden frowned slightly.

"Huh?" Dailey looked surprised. "But what she clearly said was..."

At that moment, Aiden finally realized the root of the problem.

"What did she say?" Aiden displayed a "friendly" smile.

"Eh?" Dailey paused for a moment, then realized what was happening. "Ah, so that's it."

"She came back saying, 'I'll never forget the past hour of my life.'" Dailey covered her mouth with her hand. "She also mentioned that in one hour, you changed positions thirty-six times...".

In an instant, veins bulged on Aiden's forehead, who was still smiling.

...

A minute later, another person entered the interview room.

Aiden stood with his arms folded, observing Fei who was sitting over with her head down, She tapped her finger at her arm as if counting down the time.

After a moment of silence, he nodded at Fei. "Well done. It seems I underestimated your audacity for mischief. I must admit, none of the inmates in this prison who have challenged me have ruffled my feathers as much as you have. Last words, make them brief."

"Hehe, I was just... just trying to boast a little, so I did a tiny bit of artistic embellishment," Fei gestured with her hand, showing "just a little bit." Sign.

"I feel like I see a galaxy between your finger," Aiden retorted coldly. "You're clearly just stirring up trouble!"

"Lord Aiden, It's because you were neglecting me over there" Fei started to look pitiful, and pointing her fingers sadly. "Telling others that I was turned down after bragging up, how can I bear to speak of it? It's about my dignity as a succubus!"

"You're going to argue with me now, aren't you?" Aiden glared at Fei.

"No, no, not at all!" Fei hurriedly showed weakness, and waving her hands repeatedly. "Lord Aiden, look, I helped you out a bit. You didn't lose out, did you?"

"My reputation is damaged, I am losing out," Aiden coldly cut her off.

"But I also helped you earlier with my abilities, so doesn't that balance things out? Let's just pretend nothing happened, okay?" Fei spread her hands and with a smile on His face trying to smooth things over.

"You want to settle scores with me, huh? I haven't forgotten your attempt to charm me earlier! Your actions merely offset that, but we still need to settle the matter of spreading rumors." Aiden didn't let her off the hook.

"Alright then, I'll accept the punishment!" Fei sighed as if resigned. "Whether it's a whip, candles, or a triangular horse, I can handle anything..."

Aiden looked at her coldly and pronounced each word slowly, "Solitary confinement."

..........

"No!!!!!!!!!" Fei cried out in despair as two riot officers grabbed her, one on each side, and dragged her towards solitary confinement.

Aiden watched expressionlessly as they moved away, then turned back to the interview room, casually closing the door.

"Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, let's continue," he said as he sat down at the iron table, with Priscilla and Dailey sitting opposite each other.

"This prison is certainly lively..." Priscilla commented with a complex expression.

"Now, you're also welcome to join our big family. I could arrange for you to share a room with that succubus?" Aiden joked.

"Let's skip that," Priscilla refused.

"Warden, then why did you call me here?" Dailey lightly touched her lips with her fingertips, smiling alluringly at Aiden. "I'm a bit disappointed to find out it was all just a misunderstanding."

"Keep pretending!" Aiden chuckled, remembering how nervous she had been earlier. "I called you here to meet an old friend."

"An old friend?"

"It's better if you explain it to her," Aiden gestured towards Priscilla.

"Alright." Priscilla turned to the surprised Dailey. "Nice to see you, Dailey. I never expected to reunite with you in prison. I was actually planning to rescue you. It's me, Priscilla."

After a few minutes of explanation, Dailey finally understood the situation. "So that body actually contained a senior inquisitor, no wonder she resisted me. I didn't expect you, Priscilla, to cast such powerful spells..."

"I also didn't expect you to make a deal with that Aiden Galord, letting him place that demonic contract on you and giving the summoned shadow demon for him..." Priscilla asked seriously. "Is he really worthy of such trust?"

"From my personal assessment..." Dailey glanced at Aiden and smirked, "He is a man who follows the rules. At least, I'm quite satisfied with him."

priscilla looked at Aiden, who opened his hands to her. "So, you must be reassured now, right?"

After much contemplation, Priscilla finally relented. "Alright, since Dailey has said so, I'll give it a try. It's not entirely impossible."

"Very well, then let's proceed to switch bodies with Rebecca..." Aiden breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Priscilla added, "But I have a condition."
