Chapter Seventy-TwoMidnight Clock Tower Audrey had already agreed with Xio and Fors on emergency contact methods. Through the golden retriever Susie, she very quickly passed Mr. Fool’s hint to the two ladies as information she had obtained through another channel. In the corner of an old church, Xio unfolded the paper ball while thinking about how to confirm Lanevus’s identity, how to create chaos, and how to seize the opportunity to avenge Williams. …No need to confirm.

Chapter Seventy-OneInstinctive Trembling Three in the afternoon, East Balam Dock, Dock Union. Klein wore a thick sweater beneath a brownish-yellow jacket, with a simple soft cap on his head, shaping himself more like a common investigative reporter than the kind who often attended banquets and interviewed people of rank and status. This outfit had cost him an extra one pound ten soli. At the moment, he wore gold-rimmed glasses. His hair was neatly combed back, glistening with the sheen of pomade.…

Chapter SeventyDock Union Xio had been in the bounty hunter trade for a long time. Many things no longer needed thought; she could respond by pure instinct. The moment she saw that the customer who had entered was almost two meters tall, she instinctively lowered her head and continued eating her pork sausage and fries as though nothing had happened. Food entered her mouth, but she could not taste a thing. She endured bitterly for dozens of seconds before slowly lifting her head and pretending to…

Chapter Sixty-NineThis Is the East Borough Inside the nearly abandoned medical college teaching building, the gathering had already ended. Audrey, who was leaving by a circuitous route, suddenly fell into a daze and saw the familiar dense gray fog, along with the blurry figure seated high at its center. “This is a clue.” Accompanying Mr. Fool’s deep voice was a scene like a photograph—and a colored photograph at that. A man almost two meters tall, though not particularly burly, stood…

Chapter Sixty-EightClue In the western outskirts of the North Borough, inside a three-story building close to abandonment. This place had originally belonged to Backlund Medical College, but the college’s main body had already moved to a better and more suitable location.

Chapter Sixty-SevenThe First Step In a corner of the East Borough. Gene, drunk enough to sway, faced the wall, pulled down his trousers, and comfortably nourished the moss. After he had finished, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. Gene shuddered several times. Hurriedly pulling up his trousers, he half turned and looked back, only to see a short boy in a canvas jacket and a peaked cap. That “boy” lifted his head, revealing a face that, though filthy beyond recognition, was soft and…

Chapter Sixty-SixJoy Turns to Sorrow Inside the deep and dark underground structure, Klein carried the hurricane lamp and circled the hall, carefully checking whether there were any other entrances. Of course, he did not dare enter the corridor leading to the innermost room. As for the snakes that had gathered again, they were once more driven away by the bitter cold wind. After obtaining a definite answer, he voluntarily retreated to the great doorway and, together with the three living corpses,…

Chapter Sixty-FiveFree? After dinner, inside the billiards room of Bravehearts Bar. Klein wore a simple black coat that fit the style of the place, along with a dark peaked cap. Holding a mug of Southville beer, he casually closed the door and walked to the opposite side of Kaspars, who was bending forward and testing a shot. Before Klein could squeeze out a smile and greet him, Kaspars had already stopped moving, straightened, and glanced at him. “Maric is not here. “There are no extra…

Chapter Sixty-FourFinalizing the Plan “Rafter Pound’s future.” Holding the baronet’s hair, Klein closed his eyes and, with the help of meditation, entered sleep. Inside the gray, hazy world, he saw a narrow and irregular opening. Rafter Pound, with swollen eye bags and graying temples, crawled forward like a reptile, propping himself up on his elbows as he emerged. Immediately afterward, the scene flashed. From somewhere unknown, he picked up a black-iron badge and pinned it to his…

Chapter Sixty-ThreeRafter Pound Midseashire lay in the western part of the Loen Kingdom, facing the Intis Republic across the Hornacis mountain range. And in Backlund, there was a street named after it, located at the edge of Queen’s Borough—the street where the capital’s police headquarters stood. Quite a few people chose to settle on that street for the sake of peace of mind. Rafter Pound was one of them. Inside the street-facing house marked number 29, the baronet wore a velvet-lined…
