Benjamin was surprised to hear that from the woman. But, he did not immediately take any action, nor did he answer Sidney; he just retained the wide-eyed facial expression, and used the water particle sensing technique to scan through the entire shop.
The room opposite the hallway, the second floor accessible by the stairway, the kitchen... the shop was not big, except for some things that were unsightly, Benjamin thoroughly scanned through the place.
But he did not find a soul.
He did not find the "Dame" hidden among the bandits, and he also did not notice the teenage stranger who revealed his identity. Needless to mention about the kidnapped Augustine as his shadow was nowhere to be found.
This made him a little disappointed.
It seemed apparent that those two people did not stay at Sidney’s place.
