Gehrman Sparrow.

This was the name Klein had chosen for his alter ego. The first half came from an old hunter, while the latter half was the surname of a legendary pirate.

As for "The World," that was clearly the position Klein had reserved for his alter ego in the Tarot Club. On one hand, it would establish evidence that Mr. Fool's Chosen truly existed; on the other, it was a contingency laid in advance so he could cooperate with other Tarot Club members in the real world.

Mr. A committed the code name "The World" to memory. Without saying much else, he nodded. "Let's go."

On a mission, Mr. A completely abandoned his usual demeanor of treating himself as a subordinate before the Saint. Instead, he took full command of the operation.

Nimrod was happy to let him. He lightly rubbed his eye socket and walked into the darkness ahead with Mr. A and Klein.

Abandoned warehouses were scattered throughout the dilapidated shipyard. They walked for about ten minutes, stopping occasionally to conceal their tracks in various ways, before finally arriving at a rundown house.

The house appeared to have belonged to someone who once lived here. Its occupants were long gone, leaving only useless refuse piled inside-even that refuse had already been picked through by the scavengers of the East Borough.

The most valuable thing in the room was a fragment of a mirror, less than half of it remaining and covered in dense cracks. Most of the mirror was completely gone, as though someone had selected the larger pieces and taken them away.

This was the ambush site Mr. A had agreed upon with Sharron and Maric.

Nimrod leaned against a wall and quietly watched Mr. A stand before the mirror.

The mirror reflected a fragmented silhouette.
