Charles let out a long sigh and said, "I haven't thanked Vinnie yet!"
Vinnie Yarsaenu spoke in a low voice, "I originally wanted to have you pay out some cash to provide for the families of those detectives and peacefully resolve this matter. I didn't expect Aubrey Barrington Atwood to have sent an assassin one step ahead of us, and in the end, we still had to solve the problem through a duel."
Charles asked, "Who are likely to be my opponents in the duel?"
Vinnie pondered for a moment and asked, "Mister Mecklen, can you tell me honestly whether you are a Lower-Ranked Supernatural, Mid-Level Transcendent, or High Order Supernatural Being?"
Charles answered without hesitation, "Fourth Order!"
In the Old Continent, the First to Sixth Orders are considered Lower-Ranked Supernaturals, Seventh to Twelfth Orders are Mid-Level Transcendents, and the Thirteenth to Eighteenth Orders are High Order Supernatural Beings, with those above the Eighteenth Rank having other titles!
