My hands were trembling as I flipped through the pages, the scent of old paper and ink filling my senses. I had already read the coroner's report. I had already seen Elder Crowe's signature. But now, I wasn't looking for the cause of death. I was looking for a date.

At this time, Callan's lips were already purple, his teeth were closed, and even his eyes tightened. Maybe others didn't know about this. How could Nick, the No. 1 killer of Canada, who had gone through countless life and death experiences, not know about this? Master Handerson was poisoned! How could this be? How could Master Handerson lay here awkwardly with his ability? His backpack was missing. Moreover, where was Third Young Mistress? Did Master Handerson find her?
