"Okay, pretend I said nothing then." The young man shrugged.
Eileen smiled as well. "Alright. Thank you for answering my call, Elders."
She retracted her spirit energy, and put the disc away, mumbling to herself, "It seems really likely. As if that sly old fox would just give up the position of club leader otherwise."
…
Over at the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, Ryder was in the office on a top-secret call.
"Commander, we've detected an abnormal wave of energy similar to that of the Church of Bloodism. The Seventh Apostle has entered Seechertown. I think he's going to strike soon. I'm afraid Deacon Penn and I alone won't be enough to take on an apostle. We might need backup," Ryder said.
"There's no backup, let Penn handle this. You'll just supervise and report to me on just how powerful he is. I want to know where his limits are."
"That… That's really dangerous, sir," Ryder replied.
"It is, but I'm sure Penn will have a way."
"Yes, Commander."
The call ended, and Albert let out a sigh on the other end. "I'm sure you two won't blame me for this, right?"
…
It was around midnight when Wilbur and the rest returned to Sealake Island.
Elsa picked up the phone, and her expression turned solemn at once.
"What's up?" asked Faron.
Elsa hung up the call, her brows tightly furrowed. "There were seven fatal cases in Seechertown just today."
