"Sandro, are you here to congratulate me?"
"Of course, Ethan. Congratulations on regaining your freedom. For that, I've prepared a gift for you."
"A gift?"
"Yes, it's already on its way. I had Emilio bring it to you, and you'll like it."
The call ended just like that.
Ethan was baffled.
What exactly was Sandro up to?
He temporarily halted the assembly of his lieutenants and had them guard their own territories. Meanwhile, he waited for Emilio's gift.
Thirty minutes later, the gift arrived.
The gift...
It turned out to be a coffin.
A transparent crystal coffin.
The coffin wasn't empty.
Inside the coffin lay a person.
This person was the very one Ethan had been searching for...
Klei.
Ernest Kreine.
Klei was lying quietly in the coffin now, no longer bursting in unceremoniously and laughing, saying he just couldn't be bothered to take the main road.
This might be the most peaceful moment of his life.
"Is he dead?"
