Dickens'' colleagues told Wilbur that Professor Dickens had gone to a secret location in the Kosanto military base three months ago for an international assignment. The assignment was supposed tost a year, and Wilbur would have to wait that long if he wanted to see the guy again.


    Wilbur stood in the Monsato city square, dialing Beverly''s number while feeling rather confused. If Professor Dickens was supposed to be in this secret location, wouldn''t the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense know about it? And if they did, why would they even have him look for Professor Dickens in the first ce?


    "Hello, Deacon Penn. Is there anything I can help with?"


    "Beverly, can you help me find out more recent information about Professor Dickens? I went to his house and workce, but there was no sign of him."


    "Sure, give me a second."


    A whileter, Beverly''s voice rang through the phone once more. "ording to the information we have, Professor Dickens has always been in Moda. However, his whereabouts suddenly became impossible to track since three months ago, and no one knows where he is now."


    "I see."


    "Also, we were just informed that Professor Dickens actually created the Satan Robot. Due to the severity of the recent murders in Monsato, the department issued immediate orders to find Professor Dickens and Fawkes and have them executed on the spot."


    "Got it." Wilbur hung up the phone after that.


    Indeed, Johnson had killed five hundred people in the middle of Monsato in just half a day. This was downright inhumane, and Johnson was a threat to the world. That was why he was to be put down on the spot without receiving any sentencing.


    Beverly had made it pretty clear that Professor Dickens'' disappearance was probably rted to the assignment he was carrying out at the Kosanto military base. He had probably been removed from the premises in secret, which was why there was no information on him online.


    Locating Professor Dickens might require contacting the Kosanto army, but Wilbur was in Moda right now and would not be heading to Kosanto anytime soon. Thus, Wilbur nned to track Fawkes down and take him out so that Dickens'' financial source would at least be cut off.


    Without any funding, the Satan Robot would not be produced even if production had been confirmed. The department would have told Wilbur where Fawkes was if they knew, but Beverly had not mentioned anything in the call, which meant that they did not know where Fawkes was at all.


    Wilbur smiled, knowing that he would have to count on La this time.


    "Hello, La? Help me look up a guy named Fawkes. He''s the biggest tycoon in Moda and deals with metals. Can you find out where he is right now?"


    "Sure, I''ll look into it now."


    The clicking of a keyboard sounded through the phone, and it was not long before La said, "Got it, sir. Fawkes is now hiding in a mine around two hundred kilometers west of Monsato."


    "A mine?"


    "Yes. I''ll send you the information now."
