In the blink of an eye, ten days passed since Vicente and Lauren had met near Saltstar City.
In those days, Miss Death and her party had completed their mission, left Snow Claw's head with the leader of The Ruby Devils, and collected their reward.
Vicente kept a low profile until that group left, which was no more than a day after Jonah's death.
With Lauren out of the city, Vicente returned to his old routine of working with Benson and occasionally meeting with Rory to discuss expanding the family and producing artifacts for The Ruby Devils.
The Ruby Devils had previously placed a large order because they thought Vicente was about to die. But the young man was still alive after Miss Death's group left. That faction then realized that he could be used for longer and lost its haste to send him large orders.
