Downtown Aurelia
Outside a mall, Valentine paused when he got outside with stuff he bought. He'd been living longer at his place in Aurelia these days.
Not that he minded much.
But that also meant he'd have to start stocking up the place more compared to his other houses across the country.
The things he bought weren't exactly much but they should be enough for another week at least.
Back to why he stopped.
His eyes dimmed under his sunglasses as a familiar burn hit his chest. Not exactly piercing or enough to hurt. But sharp enough to call his attention to something.
The only Necrotic Mark he had active on someone currently. And by someone he meant none other than Ambrose.
Through the mark, he felt a powerful interference in every aspect of the Guide's being—soul, mind and otherwise. Whoever had him right now was digging way too deep into him.
His head rose skyward.
With a little more concentration, he was able to deduce something dreadful.
Ambrose wasn't in the city.
