Madam Nancy had been waiting outside Machu Picchu.
Just as Charles was about to board the carriage, he saw Aubrey Barrington Atwood alighting from another. The Liemar Detective Agency's president had not left after all.
Charles shrugged his shoulders and said, "I apologize for not being able to rescue Mr. Harriet's body. There's something peculiar about this fortress ruin."
Aubrey Barrington Atwood gave Charles a deep look and asked, "Did you choose this place because you've signed a contract with a certain monster?"
That was the most logical explanation!
Charles did not contradict nor confirm the suspicion but merely bowed slightly and handed Harriet's military saber to Aubrey Barrington Atwood, saying, "This is Mr. Harriet's relic. Please return it to his family."
"Though I wished to avoid such a tragedy, I was powerless to prevent it."
