"Sir, Warwick is missing!"
Hodan, the Vice Leader of the Polante Thief Gang, reported with a grave expression.
Amicus frowned, pacing back and forth in the room. "What happened? What do you mean, 'missing'?"
"Just... gone."
Hodan was baffled as well. "The captain of the iron ore transport team needed to see Warwick tonight but couldn't find him anywhere. According to the people at the iron mine, Warwick left in the evening before it even got dark."
"Doesn't he have several lovers in Chishan Town? Did you check with them?"
"We checked with all of them. He wasn't there."
Hodan's expression grew heavy. He hadn't thought much of it at first, assuming Warwick was just out having some fun somewhere. But after sending men to search for several hours, there was still no sign of him.
As a newly promoted core member, Warwick was responsible for inspecting and tallying the day's mining output every evening. For him to be completely gone today was extremely unusual.
