The confidant hesitated for a moment, tentatively asking, "Send her now..."
The Second Priest's eyes flashed with a cold light, "No need. After this ritual is completed, I want to see what this so-called chase is about. The Third Priest's request must be fulfilled quickly. If we can find it before the ritual, that would be best."
The three confidants' expressions changed, and they quickly exited to carry out their tasks.
A commotion of footsteps arose from downstairs.
The Second Priest walked to the window, looked down, and saw a large group of people filing out of the resort hotel, each dressed variably but with a common large red cloth tied around their arms.
They looked like a motley crew, but all were composed of Evolvers.
Aside from the participants of the ritual, this was the entire population of the island.
