"What? Suspicious individuals spotted at the Sunlight Hotel on St. Peter's Street?"
Moscow, Saint Basil's Cathedral – Vernon, director of the Aurora Society's Second Investigation Bureau, received Lachesis's report.
The message, delivered urgently by the Kitty Corps, demanded attention. Vernon dared not delay; he promptly mobilized his forces. The entire Second Investigation Bureau discreetly arrived at St. Peter's Street.
To avoid alarming their target, Vernon refrained from taking rash action. Supernatural powers are unpredictable, and no one could know what kind of magic the opponent might employ. Being in the capital, utmost caution was necessary.
"Bring in the police! Have them seal off the perimeter and ensure no one enters!"
"Yes!"
"Do not expose yourselves! Without my direct command, no one is to step onto St. Peter's Street!"
"Yes!"
