When Philip reached the ground floor, he spotted Sid hastily exiting the hotel. Sid caught Philip's gaze, offering a friendly smile and a respectful bow, recognizing Philip's identity as a hotelier.
To his surprise, Philip also spotted Mrs. Hitters emerging from the other elevator. She, too, noticed Philip and greeted him with a warm smile, clearly enjoying her stay at the hotel.
'Is Mrs. Hitters also going to the magicians' place? Where had she learned about it? Could there be a member of the Sorrows Guild among the magicians?' Philip thought.
Philip exchanged quick pleasantries with them and proceeded to Agnes Church. As he stepped outside, his eyes fell upon Xavier, who appeared lost in thought.
Philip took a deep breath and stepped into the church. It was his first time entering, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness.
