At the Mapleleaf docks, aboard a towering three-tiered cargo ship, Biso·Lexman warmly invited Ranch and Sophia to partake in some odd and unusual foods.
As they settled in, he began, "Mr. Ranch, do you remember Dis?"
"Dis? Dis·Corvette?" Ranch inquired.
"The very same," Biso·Lexman affirmed with a nod, then relayed the news he had heard: "According to the information I've received, Dis·Corvette is dead. His body was found in an underground mine within the ruins at Wolf Fang Mountains, alongside another corpse - that of the former Tribunal chairman, Howard·Angelio."
Biso's revelation left Ranch taken aback.
He had suspected something amiss with the divine ruins in Mapleleaf but never imagined Dis would pay with his life for it.
And then there was Howard·Angelio, a name previously known to him only through others, evoking a twinge of pity in Ranch.
Of course, to unearth the truth behind it all, one merely had to ask Daisy.
