“How much?”

“Take a look for yourself.”

“Sheesh…what’s going on exactly?”

“Now I see clearly, it looks like it’s not the captain being anxious, but someone else.”

“Oh?”

“Who do you think is paying our Black Water wages now?”

“You mean…the Miller Family from the Upper City?”

The more they talked, the more they felt things were not looking good.

At that moment, Wine Nose returned abruptly.

The burly man immediately asked, “How did it go, Old Dog? Any discoveries?”

Old Dog removed his hat, revealing a face that was gradually taking on a dog-like appearance, and reported, “Boss, I’ve made a discovery! In car number 15!”

Hearing this, the three men turned their eyes towards it.

Old Dog continued, “When I passed by, I detected a unique scent in the crowd. It’s the demonic air that only a B Class Catastrophe corpse could leave behind. The scent is faint, likely because a Deodorizing Potion was used recently. But the pungent smell persists, which indicates it hasn’t been long since the exposure, most likely they’ve just left the Alternate Dimension. But there are a lot of people in car 15, and the smell is mixed, so I’m not sure who it is. I suspect it’s someone from the card-playing group. I came back first to avoid arousing suspicion.”

“Well done.”

Upon hearing this, the burly men were exhilarated.

Intuition told them they might have found a significant breakthrough.

If it was an ordinary hunter, even if they had just stepped out of the Alternate Dimension, they wouldn’t need to use any Deodorizing Potion.

Furthermore, encountering a B-class Catastrophe is quite rare in the wilderness, but it happens that there is one in Space 407!

The timing was right too!

There must be a problem with someone in car number 15!

Without delay, the burly man directly commanded, “Rose, go take a look, see if you can use your sixth sense to identify who it is.”

The woman in leather nods, “I’ll try. Now that we’ve narrowed down the location to a single car, it should be easier. If it’s just a Card Master Apprentice, there should be no problem.”

The burly man: “Okay. When you’ve confirmed, don’t act rashly, and wait for me. That guy managed to slip away from the captain and the others, so he must be clever, don’t underestimate him. Also, try not to cause a commotion. Use Hypnosis to end it quickly. If we’re too noisy in the car, the Hunter’s Association will interfere.”

The woman in leather nods, “Got it.”

Once the discussion ended, the burly man then instructed the skinny man playing with a dagger, “Little Five, you go to car number 16 first, in case that guy tries to jump off from the end of the train. If you really can’t control him, just cut his Achilles tendon. All they need on the other side is for him to be alive.”

The skinny man frowned at the instructions, “But boss, is it really okay to spill blood on the train?”

The burly man sighed helplessly, “We can’t worry about that now. We need to catch him first.”

Then he gave another command, “Old Dog, you go last, don’t show your face yet. We don’t want him to sense anything.”

Old Dog: “Yes.”

Upon agreement, they immediately sprang into action.

On the other hand, Leonard Churchill, noting that the man in the cloak had made a round trip and left, initially didn’t think much of it.

He figured that it was likely similar to the previous instances, where they didn’t notice anything unusual and thus left.

However, not long after,

Leonard suddenly spotted a skinny man wearing a half-face gas mask approaching.

Although this man appeared to merely be passing by, didn’t linger in car 15, and went straight to car 16,

Leonard immediately sensed that something was amiss.

He now possessed a photographic memory, and although the man had disguised himself, just by looking at the black sheath at his waist, Leonard recognized him instantly: This guy had been here once before!

Previously, this guy had been wandering around, obviously searching for someone- probably from the Blackwater Mercenary Group.

Now he’s back, disguised, and walking so purposefully, he definitely has an agenda.

“Have I been discovered after all…”

A gaze full of determination flashed through Leonard’s eyes and he immediately made a judgement.

He harbored no luck of chance.

The worst-case scenario had indeed happened..
