Of course, Howard wasn't foolish enough to confront high-level awakened beings in isolated areas!
Having himself used the cover of solitude to eliminate numerous enemies, why would he expose himself to such peril?
Unaware of Cameron's arrival, Howard had been out of touch with Saint City for quite some time and had even forgotten the grudge between him and Cameron.
There was no way around it; Cameron's influence didn't extend to Adia City.
Over the past month, Howard hadn't heard Cameron's name mentioned once.
With so many events transpiring, it was natural for him to slip from Howard's mind.
Little did Howard know that Cameron had surmised he was the culprit behind his son's murder and had been harboring a deep grudge ever since.
Thus, when Howard returned to Saint City with Rick the previous day, Cameron immediately gathered his forces and led them into the Dark Mausoleum.
