Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 1243: Two choices, choose...

Chapter 1243: Two choices, choose...

This is one of Ratatoskr's underground facility, it is also stationed in Tengu city.
Just like DEM, Ratatoskr built multiple secret facilities in Tengu City.
Unlike the titanic entity known as DEM. Ratatoskr only has one airship known as Fraxinus. Without it, Ratatoskr's operation would be crippled.
Of course, this won't happen because the airship is already Wu Yan's Noble Phantasm. Even if it is somehow destroyed, Wu Yan can regenerate the airship in no time at all. Ratatoskr don't know about this, this is why secret facilities were created.
For instance, it is being used to confine and monitor Ellen.
Actually, the best prison would have been on the airship as there are multiple security measures there. In other words, the prison there is a much better choice than this secret facility.
But, Ellen isn't a normal shmuck from DEM, she is the strongest magician that can fight spirits.
Placing such a dangerous individual there would be troublesome if she somehow escaped and caused a ruckus within Fraxinus. Wu Yan isn't going to risk it.
After defeating Ellen, Kotori picked her up and transferred her to this facility for interrogation and observation.
After the fight with Kotori, she got hurt way worse than Origami.
However, it appears Ellen was used to getting hurt. She patched herself up and by the time they checked up on her, she was already stabilized.
In other words, Origami is still weaker than Ellen as she took longer to recover than Ellen who boasted more strength than her.
However, recovering quickly isn't a blessing here.
Because Origami is still out cold Kotori couldn't interrogate her.
Under Kotori's guidance, Wu Yan arrived at a corridor wider than any path on Fraxinus. They arrived at a certain cell.
"We are here..."
Kotori keyed in the password like she already did this multiple times before. She also placed her palm on the biometric scanner near the door. The door opened up after an electronic beep. The door slid open to reveal a wide room.
The light is a bit low so it felt like a dimly-lit room. The walls are made of thick iron. There are multiple apparatuses here with a smaller glass room constructed in the middle of the room.
It looked like a normal living room, there are multiple pieces of furniture there that reminded one of a standard living room. Ignoring the glass walls here, the room would have looked normal.
On the sofa is an expressionless girl, she sat there like a zombie.
That is Ellen.
"That woman stayed like this since her transfer here."
Kotori said with an annoyed look.
"We wanted to interrogate her but her loyalty and attitude kept us at bay. We decided to just lock her up here."
"Why are we here then?"
Wu Yan looked at Kotori.
"You got a new idea to make her talk?"
"Nope."
Kotori replied.
"This woman is a bit special. She is well-connected so we can't exactly waterboard an answer out of her. Not that she would spill the beans on DEM even if we did that. But, I don't want to give her up like this."
Kotori looked at Wu Yan.
"I am here because I want to give her a message."
"Okay..."
Wu Yan shrugged.
"I am going in to say hi."
The two approached the secluded glass prison.
"Nn?"
Ellen turned around to see Kotori and Wu Yan entering the cell. She returned to her silent self after a brief pause.
Kotori gave Wu Yan an I-told-you-so look. He rubbed his chin before walking over to Ellen. He had an evil grin on his face.
Ellen wanted to stay mum but Wu Yan's words caused her immense anxiety.
"Hey, do you value Westcott's life?"
Ellen saw Wu Yan's ambiguous smile. Suppressing the terror within her heart, she asked.
"What do you mean?"
Ellen talked for the first time. Kotori also watched with bated breath.
He took control of the situation at once. Grabbing her weakness, this villain of a man got right into the interrogation session.
"You want me to say it?"
Unaware that Kotori just tagged him with a villain tag, Wu Yan unfurled two fingers at Ellen.
"Now, you have two choices."
He curled one finger. He made sure Ellen can see his gestures.
"One, you will tell me where Westcott is. I might beat him up or cripple him but he will be alive at the end of the day."
Wu Yan put two fingers up again.
"Two, you can stay mum. I will find Westcott myself, you just need to worry about the type of flowers you're going to have to buy for his funeral."
Wu Yan's frosty look told Ellen he is not screwing around. He is going to carry through with those tasks should the need arises.
"You can choose between the two."
"You..."
Ellen growled.
"You want me to betray Isaac?"
"Look, I can brainwash you right now and get the answer. I don't even need to waste my saliva on this offer."
Wu Yan turned around.
"On Arubi Island, DEM attacked us so I defeated you and took down one of your airships to settle the debt."
"In Tengu city, you attacked Miku so I destroyed the Tengu city branch HQ. I considered us even then."
Wu Yan smirked.
"This time, you tried to abduct Kotori and attacked Fraxinus. What do you propose I take as compensation, hmm?"
Wu Yan laid down his demands in under one minute. Each sentence was like sharp arrows that pierced Ellen's heart. She almost forgot to breathe.
"Itsuka Shido!"
Ellen yelled with curled palms.
"Don't even think about hurting Isaac!"
"Look at you, where did you get the confidence to make that bold declaration?"
Wu Yan laughed.
"Let me see, what does Westcott have right now... DEM? Magicians? Cr-units?"
"How are those supposed to help him?"
Ellen's expression froze.
"Ah..."
Wu Yan read her looks.
"Yes, with us here, DEM can never do anything against us. Plus, you're here so if Westcott is willing to give you up. I can make an exception and consider us even Steven for now."
"Think about it..."
Wu Yan left the room with a pale Ellen.
