Liora had placed a call to a certain official in the transportation department,
requesting assistance in locating the whereabouts of a particular vehicle.
About half an hour later, she received a return call,
informing her that the vehicle was presently parked at Elephant Tower.
Elephant Tower?
I felt a surge of curiosity.
I had initially assumed that the two of them had gone off for some tryst,
yet it was quite unexpected to discover that a monk and a member of the Orchid Sect had instead ventured to a casino.
After expressing my gratitude to Liora, Lord Alaric and I returned to search for Aeliana.
As the manager of Elephant Tower and several of their lookouts were familiar to me,
I decided to have Aeliana assist with my disguise to avoid unnecessary complications.
When I eventually arrived alone at Elephant Tower,
the sight of the throngs of gamblers filled me with a certain astonishment.
