231 Hideout [2]

"What the hell is this?" I blurted out in a voice filled with shock. "Where the hell even are we?!"

"Lucas Morningstar, I welcome you to my secret base," Kai replied with a smirk, finally responding to my question.

But his words only added to my confusion.

A secret base?! What is he, a puppet master-type villain who pulls the strings from shadows?! 

Wait… never mind, he is exactly that.

You see, I had expected to find a simple church basement when Kai brought me here and opened the wooden door.

Although even that would have been confusing, it wouldn't have been as mind-boggling as this!

Before me was not basement.

Instead, concealed beneath the innocent facade of a grand church, lay a sprawling underground labyrinth!

It was an expansive underground chamber that stretched far into the distance. By my rough estimation, it was as large as the entire church grounds! 

Yes, that big! And I'm not even exaggerating!
