Charles had no intention of chasing after him. He shook his head, walked over to Wells, pulled out his wallet, and also found a brand-new Magnum Hand Shuttle and a leather bullet pouch on the detective.
As for the rapier that seemed quite valuable, he didn't take it. First, he wasn't skilled in swordsmanship, and second, it would be difficult to liquidate during his flight.
Charles also picked up his second-hand Magnum Hand Shuttle and then strode away.
After having devoured the life force of Wells, a Second Order Transcendent, he needed to find a place to digest it.
It was only after Charles had left that the street gradually began to see pedestrians again.
Murders on the street were common in smaller places, and even in the capital Strasbourg, it was not rare, nor did any passerby think to report it to the Patrolling Army. Instead, someone kindly notified the city's coroner.
The ghastly sight of Wells' death made the nearby residents uncomfortable, necessitating a cleanup.
