Almansour continued questioning Helene in front of the entire square, pressing her for every detail he could uncover.
His voice remained firm as he forced her to explain exactly how the operation worked and what role she had played in it.
Under the stunned gazes of tens of thousands of people, the truth slowly came to life.
Helene admitted that she had acted alone within the academy. No other members of Clover Academy had been involved in the scheme. In fact, they were oblivious to it.
For years, she had secretly identified promising students, children without any proper backing, and discreetly sent their names to the Cult. From there, the agents of the Cult would take over.
The chosen children were quietly transferred to hidden camps scattered across the Southern Federation. In those secret facilities, they were subjected to indoctrination and brainwashing before being turned into operatives loyal to the Cult of Bones.
