As night fell, Ronald and Heloise quietly walked away from the direction of St. Joliet University.
During the entire journey, neither of them spoke a word.
Instead, they silently maintained this period of silence between them.
Because they both understood...
Soon, the real battle was about to commence.
After departing from St. Joliet and walking about a kilometer, the two of them arrived at a secluded spot near the banks of the Wis River.
Using the feedback from the power of "Fury," Ronald confirmed that there was no one around.
He then casually set Lumielle down on the ground, turned his head to Heloise, and explained,
"Heloise, the plan succeeded."
"I can feel that the enemy is tracking us."
"But there is a slight discrepancy from what was expected; this time, there are two of them."
"…"
Heloise's prediction had been successful.
