June 18th.
Jedecra State, Cross City Cathedral.
At 9 a.m., the weather was overcast and the air filled with moist vapor.
An unexpected rain had fallen last night.
Father Weiss emerged from the reception room, his face a picture of panic and cluelessness.
The clerical staff outside stared at him intently with expressions of fear and trepidation.
"What should we do?"
"Lord Duwei has disappeared... He's the Deputy Chief Judge, this could lead to something serious."
"Weiss, should we report this to the church?"
Ten minutes earlier, the clergy members had returned to the cathedral, silent as the grave.
Josh had vanished, and Du Wei had mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only a suitcase filled with clothes and an opened safe.
Beyond that, they had lost all contact with Du Wei; his mobile phone was completely unreachable.
