Xander picked himself up from the ground, looked around, but couldn't catch sight of Evelyn Thatcher.

When he glanced at the rooftop where the person in the black robe had been, it was already deserted.

"Damn it..." Xander cursed under his breath, anxious and at his wit's end, unable to find any way to call Evelyn back.

As he fretted, the shadow death overseers waved their whips, driving the laborers towards the City Gate.

Xander was compelled to move with the crowd.

Xander's mind was preoccupied with finding Evelyn, and he didn't pay close attention to the content broadcasted by the Magic Megaphone.
