.....

Valnaro led the way to the place that they were detaining the person that they were futilely trying to interrogate. The place was inside the biggest building here that was present in the whole camp. It had four floors but it occupied a large piece of land.

As they got into the building, Valnaro led the way through the underground stairs that led to an underground basement. This was just like the dungeons that were found in the fantasies or the olden times.

Jack wasn't much surprised by the presence of a dungeon in the military camp. From the small cells that contained several people inside, Jack could tell that this was what they used to detain their prisoners.

After walking along a well-lit long corridor, they arrived in front of a door. Without even knocking, Valnaro pushed it open and entered while Jack followed from behind. 

The moment that Jack stepped into the room, he found that the room was quite big taking up about 200m2. Inside this room was white, both the walls, the floor and the ceiling. The room was clean despite it being a dungeon.

Inside the room, there was a long metallic table. Other than that, there were three chairs present. One was facing the other two in the room. All the chairs were stationed around the table, occupying the two long sides of the rectangular table.

On the sole chair that was facing the entrance of the room, there was a man seated there. His hands were cuffed before they were attached to the table using a chain.

The man himself was having long and unkempt beard. His hair was quite long that a person could think that the person was staying in the wild where there were no scissors or hair clippers to cut his hair with.

He had blue eyes that shined with both mischief and determination. He was currently wearing a brown apron that had some of the buttons at the chest area open revealing the yellow t-shirt that he was wearing beneath the apron.

The moment that he heard the door being opened, he looked directly towards Valnaro. He looked at him for a moment before he shifted his gaze to Jack who came in right after him. He locked eyes with Jack for a while before he turned his gaze away. But all the same, he didn't say a single word after that.

Jack looked at the man before gazing towards Valnaro and asking, "Does this guy always sleep here or do you take him somewhere else as a lodging area for him?"

Jack was curious about this because he couldn't see anything that stated that there was a person that was living in here. Since this person was a person that was suspected to be having information about the attack that was carried out on glaze hotel, which was a threat to the national safety, Jack wouldn't be surprised if they let this guy stay on that chair for a day or two.

"Not really. This is just the basic interrogation room. Here, after the interrogation is completed, the suspect will be taken to an area that he/she would stay." Valnaro shook his head as he replied.

Jack nodded as he continued observing the room. He could see that there were several cameras that were installed in the room. It was obviously to record the interrogation.

"So, what are we supposed to start with?" Jack questioned as he gazed at the guy who was minding his own business, completely ignoring the two of them as if their presence didn't matter to him. He was simply playing with the cuffs and the chains on his hands.

"Just wait a little while. There will be people who I have just asked to come." Valnaro stated as he continued waiting. According to his thoughts, the reason as to why Jack insisted on coming here was because he didn't believe in the results of their investigations. As a result, he had decided to invite the ones that were in charge of the interrogation.

In this way, the interrogation could be carried out in Jack's presence. In this way, he would have no doubts about what they were saying.

Jack's brows rose as he wondered who they were waiting for. But, he would be happy if it was those masters in language mastery. He wanted to impress them and that was the reason as to why he hadn't tried communicating with that guy just yet.

He was about to lay out his doubts when he suddenly caught the sound of footsteps heading their way. And from the sound that his ears were picking up, it didn't seem like one or two people, instead, it was a considerable group of people.

Just inn time, a group that consisted of over a dozen people entered the room. They were comprised of people of different ages. There were young and energetic soldiers, who were Valnaro's two vice captains. Then, there was another group that consisted of middle aged and old men and women. Jack could immediately infer that they were the masters that were hired by the military.

The group consisted of precisely fifteen people other than the two vice captains. There were nine men and six women. Majority of the group was in the old age, with there being a total of eleven who were at least fifty years old and above.

After the group got into the room, they spread out in the room, only two of them occuoying the chairs that were present in the room. Then, they all looked at Valnaro and waited for his instructions.

Upon seeing that everything was ready, Valnaro nodded at the old lady that seemed the oldest in the group. Furthermore, from Jack's observation, the way that the lady was being treated indicated that she was the leader of the group.

"I can speak a total of six languages proficiently. Aziminian being the basic as this is my country. The others are English, French, Spanish, German and Bambian. I made sure to learn the other four, which are the exotic languages that are rarely used here in Azima." The old lady stated ass she gazed at Jack. It seemed that she had been informed that he was the one that was here to see the progress of the interrogation.

"I am not the only person that can speak different languages here. All these people here can at least speak one language that none of us can speak though we have heard about it before." The lady continued as she pointed at the others as well as the old man that was seated on the chair beside her.

The lady then went ahead to introduce the others as each of them said the language or languages that was unique to them in the room.

Of course, Jack could easily detect the displeasure in the voices of most of the people there, especially the younger ones of the lot. It was obvious that they were displeased to give the reports to a person that was younger than them. But still, none of them said it out loud.

After the introduction, the lady then faced the bearded guy that was seated beside her and asked in Aziminian, "What's your name?"

The bearded guy looked at the lady before speaking a question in a language that they couldn't understand. "Ulimsilu namwe sianu?"

The lady didn't say anything else and questioned again. "Where are you from?"

"Kali unaparanga vachi kene mbole sinju esi mwelewa, linde usa. Mlalinda lakiini sikene ndome mluazimia ta." The bearded guy replied. And just like before, he spoke in a language that they couldn't understand at all.

The lady asked the last question. "How are you related to the attack that was carried out about two weeks ago?"

"Eh? Nyasaye mlayi. Vanju vandile sivamanyire olunyala tawe. Khanu, nenya khuvatukhana nivacheva amaswali kawe. Amakoso si kange tawe, ni kawe. Sivatkha munju amanyire okhulosa olunyala ulai kwanja kho vakole khucheva amaswali kano? Lakini, ata nivanyola munju amanyire olunyala, lasima munju oyo wefwe niye. Simbara kali alikhucharibu okhucheva si amanyire tawe." The bearded guy replied with a long answer.

The lady went ahead to repeat the questions in different languages. But no matter what, she couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. The others also did the same with the language that was unique to them. But all the same, none of the replies were in the language that they were asking the questions in.

In the end, the old lady could only shrug her shoulder as she turned her gaze towards Valnaro and Jack to indicate to them that she couldn't understand what he was saying.

Valnaro on the other hand looked at Jack, waiting for his opinion. And it was also at this moment that he saw that Jack was speechless as he looked at the bearded guy. Valnaro thought that he was surprised that he couldn't understand what the other party was saying and that was the reason as to why he was reacting in such a manner.

He smiled wryly as he spoke, "That's just how things are. We can not understand what it is that this guy is saying and we believe that even he himself can't understand what we are asking him. In the end, there is nothing that we can do at the moment about it."

Jack's heart was racing at that moment because he could understand the language that the bearded guy was speaking in. Furthermore, he could understand everything as if they were his mother tongue. His eyes shone with excitement but his face remained solemn. He couldn't give away that he was understanding this, unless of course they did something in return.

He looked at Valnaro as he spoke in a calm voice, "Pay up." As he spoke, he stretched his hand towards Valnaro as if he was waiting for his payment.

"Huh?" His words stunned all those that were in the room. And surprisingly even the bearded guy was stunned. Though, it was a question whether he understood what Jack was saying or he was just following the others in the surprise that they were undergoing.

"What are you talking about Jack?" Valnaro asked in a confused voice. He couldn't understand where the issue of paying Jack came from.

Understanding that he had been too excited that he failed to say things well, Jack retracted his hand as he spoke again. "Pay up and I'll tell you what that guy was saying. You are not expecting my service for free, are you?"
