However, what surprised her more now was that Miss Justice's commission all but confirmed her guess from the previous Tarot Club gathering. She might really be Miss Audrey Hall!
Then... was Edward here too?
That was obviously a pointless question!
Wasn't he the one who had given her that three-part prayer to Mr. Fool?
She quickly scanned everyone. There were only four men in the Tarot Club: the Hanged Man, the Sun, the World, and the Tower. The Sun was definitely not him, and the Hanged Man could be ruled out since he was at sea. Then could either the World or the Tower be Edward?
Right, when she had asked to buy a Sequence 7 formula last time, everyone had indicated that the Tower had it. And wasn't Edward on the same pathway as her?
So that terrifying terrorist, that cultist... was Edward?
My God!
Of course, Klein was also surprised. Miss Justice had exposed her identity without warning, which went completely against his philosophy of keeping a low profile. Still, he could understand it after some thought: if Benson or Melissa were in danger, he would certainly throw caution to the wind too.
Wait, so Miss Justice, who has a very unusual relationship with Edward, is the daughter of a great banker in Loen? Holy shit, no wonder the guy never lacks money! He's latched onto a rich woman!
Once again, he practically came apart with envy.
Audrey then stated the reward for her commission. "Five hundred pounds for definite information about that maid, and five thousand pounds if you can help me find her."
"!!!"
Klein and Fors raised their hands at the same time. "I'll take this commission."
They both had the same thought: never mind whether they could find her. Accept the job first.
