Duke of Storm sat in the enormous living room in his black robe embroidered with gold thread. Black Spider said calmly, "It has now been confirmed that Joker is on our Western Continent. I'm sorry. I failed to find him."
Curses had range limitations. Since the elders of the Adjudicator organization had successfully cast the spell, it meant Joker really was here. That Light of the White Race who had suddenly appeared was also very likely Joker.
Qing Chen must have arrived aboard the Junlin, yet she had failed to capture him. That was her dereliction of duty.
Duke of Storm sat in the darkness and looked at her calmly. "Accept your punishment."
Black Spider pressed her lips together, slowly removed her black leather outfit and high heels, revealing a body covered in whip marks. With her back to Duke of Storm, she knelt on the floor.
Crisp cracks of a whip echoed through the duke's living room, but no one cried out.
Twenty minutes later, the metal gate outside the living room opened. Black Spider had already dressed again and walked out without the slightest change in expression. She instructed her subordinates, "Watch the eighteen farms closely. Send all our spies out. We must find Joker."

Qing Chen sat in the living room, reading the news on his phone. Someone had filmed the silhouette of the Black Water City attacker at night. A twelve-second video went viral online. The attacker stood atop a gigantic Scarlet Hand, moving between walls, looking ghostly and crazed.
Soon after, surveillance footage from a Level 2 cathedral in Black Water City emerged as well. Zhong Yu was wantonly slaughtering the priests inside, wicked and sinister... The entire Western Continent
