Amendo’s face was a mass of wrinkles that crowded together like the dried peel of an orange.
"Rod,"
he asked sternly.
"What in the world is going on? Why are there so many bizarre theft cases? Furthermore, all the victims have offended you opponents. Do you know how many people have come to me to complain? Claiming that you’re colluding with Doomsday believers to retaliate against dissenters!"
An Elder exclaimed, "Such incidents have never happened in the Upper City. It’s the most central region of Trolian, the bright land everyone dreams of. How could such malign events occur here?"
Talinus and others were also here.
"Exactly! It must be this bastard’s doing!"
Talinus’s eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted with fury; the theft of his years of accumulation had filled him with rage, and the disruption of his secrecy had robbed him of his reason.
"Kill him! Do it now!"
Manolo Bana was beside him, his complexion ashen. The Iron Mask had long since vanished, revealing a long face that looked like a privy pit that hadn’t been washed in a hundred years—dark and foul.
Rod had never seen such an expression before; he almost burst into laughter inside, feeling much of the gloom in his heart dissipate.
