In light of our familiarity, Ethan refrained from enlightening Captain Hagrid about his superior, Lady Rose, who once killed 56 people for non-cooperation during investigations.
Hagrid stammered for a while before saying, "I only asked them if they accepted refugees."
Understanding fully, Ethan did not probe further.
Hagrid drinking himself to a stupor in the back alley certainly meant more than just asking questions.
"Get some rest, I'll go back and report."
With those words, Ethan left the inn.
Hagrid volunteered seemingly holding onto a glimmer of hope. He was a native of Ximu Town and knew most residents assigned to work in Haywood Mine. He was aware of the consequences of attacking guards and occupying the mine.
This situation had left no room for a peaceful resolution. Whether the miners continued their resistance or surrendered, death awaited them.
Soon, an elite force would arrive from Gear City at Haywood Mine.
