"To be…" Katherine's eyebroered for a few seconds before she shook her head, "I… don't know"

"But you were good, Katherine Scarlet Mage has helped a lot of people"

"I aood I did is–"

"How did it feel to be Scarlet Mage?" Riley did not let Katherine finish her words as he gently grabbed her by the arms

""

""

"It… was nice" It took a couple of seconds, but finally, Katherine gained the courage to answer Riley's question, "The sratitude… It felt like I was doing a service to the world"

""

"But ave theain… that they could go home"

"I take that away from them, don't I?"

"What?" Katherine's eyes then quickly turned wide as she heard Riley's slightly so to feel guilt?"

And as soon as she thought of that, Katherine quickly focused her eyes on Riley's face…

…only to see him with a wide s?

Riley Ross…

…is innately evil

"I forgot all about this This is still happening?"

"It feels like some it's only been a month?"

"Shouldn't they at least delay or hold this? Prophet just died"

"What about the issue with Julius?"

"Ack! So s to take care of!"

"How is the Prophet situation going?"

"What the!?"

"Why do you care?" Hannah then tried to push Daniel's head away; Daniel, however, quickly moved his head to the side

"What do you mean why– I was one of the people that found Prophet's body!"

"Right, I forgot," Hannah said as she waved her hand, "We will talk later, can you get your head out of the way first? It's… uncomfortable to look at"

"Tch," Daniel squinted his eyes before finally retracting his head; not before letting out a soft curse, of course

As for Riley, he also squinted his eyes– trying his best not to express his disgust and displeasure

"Anyway… shouldn't we at least delay this shi+t?" Hannah then repeated her words, "So ht to–"

[Greetings, everyone]

And before she could finish her words, a voice echoed throughout the entire auditoriuh the air

[First, I would like to apologize for calling everyone here]

It was Bulwark, as currently standing right in the e in front of everyone,

[I know none of you expected that this cere that has happened I know it also feels forced that we're doing this…

…But it also didn't feel right that we do not go through with it]

""

[Prophet's death was unexpected and quick,] Bulwark said with a slight stutter in his tone, [Whoever did this will and must pay… and maybe someday…

…it will be one of you ill put the one who did this to justice]

"What… is Bulwark saying?"

"I thought Prophet… killed hi way!" Hannah and some of the Baby Crew stood up from their seats, "Don't tell me he--"

[Prophet…
