Chapter 1077: Chapter 1070: The Curse_1

As the two stepped out of the courtyard, a subordinate dispatched by Vermilion Bird returned, "Lord Cole, Vermilion Bird guardian, we have thoroughly checked that sewer."

"There is another exit, from a different direction, that leads directly out of the sewer and into the great river outside."

"I've also looked into the nearby surveillance cameras and ultimately confirmed that Nathaniel Dawn and his people boarded another cruise ship and left River City at top speed."

"The river is vast and bustling with shipping, it's impossible to trace which ship they left on."

William Cole had already anticipated this outcome.

He said, "They can't have gone far, have people watch the cruise ships with deeper drafts. They have left less than two hours ago, they definitely can't have gone far."

"Cruise ships with deeper drafts?"

The man from the Shadow Guard was taken aback, then silently nodded, turned around, and left to carry out William Cole's orders.
