The moment he heard the truth, Benjamin felt a great headache.
With one foot out the door, they had written to him, saying that the plan had been successful, but by the time the other foot had stepped out as well, and he had arrived, everything had turned upside down. He really wanted to grab Dick by the collar and demand an explanation, but... With the situation before his eyes now, there was no longer that opportunity.
In the distance, the priests and the Cleaners were coming into sight steadily, rushing over to them at top speed; some of them were even beginning their chants. Magical oscillation was rippling from there to here. The stagnant atmosphere before a battle suddenly caused Benjamin’s heart to calm down in that instant.
A battle was unavoidable now.
He surveyed them roughly.
Amongst the people here... Grant was not there.
Realizing this, Benjamin was much relieved. Although he was not clear about the situation now, but he should be able to handle these pursuers.
