Chapter 1255: Ladies, Handle with Care

"Why did you leave the pocket watch behind?"

Under the night sky, two exhausted administrative staff from The Sect finally turned to leave after a long evening's work.

Almost immediately, Amila looked at Reginald, her confusion laid bare without reservation.

"I shouldn't need to remind you of its importance. Aside from Anke, it's practically the only valuable discovery we've made in our investigation thus far. More than one victim has mentioned seeing it."

"Even though it doesn't show any obvious supernatural qualities, and the inscriptions inside are incomprehensible, handing over such an important item to him only heightens unknown risks. I fail to see any other purpose."

"Or do you think Anke will uncover some secret? If that's really what you believe, wouldn't honest communication be better than misleading him like this?"

"Don't you find your own statements contradictory?"

Amila's tone was already harsh, yet Reginald glanced at her without the slightest reaction.
