'There has to be a bigger purpose,' Asher thought to himself. If these people truly wanted organs, then it would have been far more logical to harvest them from Awakeners rather than from ordinary villagers, as the organs of Awakeners were naturally tougher, stronger, and infused with energy that made them far superior in quality.
Besides, if they only intended to sell organs on some underground market, they would not treat the prisoners the way they currently were, because such treatment would inevitably degrade the quality of the organs they sought to profit from.
The food thrown carelessly onto the ground, the prolonged starvation, the visible malnourishment, every single one of these factors would negatively affect the condition of the organs. And what kind of client would willingly purchase a low-grade organ when they possessed the wealth to demand the best available quality?
