Bowler opened his Map system to check The Man's position. The guy was not in the inn. In fact, he was far away on the other side of the town. Bowler immediately sent him a message, "bro, where the f**k are you?"
He received The Man's prompt reply, "sorry, bro. We are out to do other things. Did boss Storm Wind ask for another help with his quest? Tell him we are sorry we cannot provide him assistance for today."
'You unreliable bast*rd! Why did you not call me as well before you go?' Bowler wanted to scream out.
Jack did not seem to be bothered by The Man's absence. He said, "well, since he was not here. Let's just go ourselves."
"How about we invite Fierce Flame?" Bowler suggested.
"No need," Jack said. "I think my hunch should be correct. I believe those afflicted dine at the same mess hall. We should only need to check several past patients to confirm. No need for a large group to check all the past patients."
