Portia silently leads Gojo back to his room. They both stopped in front of the door.
Gojo: What's bothering you?
Portia looked up at him in shock. Gojo just looked back at her in silence waiting for her to speak.
Portia: I am fine. Just a little concern.
Gojo: About about?
Portia: Um...about the doctor. He can't be the only one who is suspected of the murder, right?
Gojo: That is true.
Portia: Personally. Just keep this between you and me. I think the Count had a lot of enemies. I wasn't working when it happened but I have heard a lot of rumours. Just...keep your eyes peeled out for anything weird.
Gojo nodded understanding. Portia left after that. Gojo slowly entered the room shutting the door behind him.
Timeskip~
The next morning two hours before the sun rose Gojo left the palace and made his way to the shop. Gojo stopped in front of the shop's door as he expected it. Suddenly he disappeared and reappeared in the shop right behind the on-the-run doctor looking around in the shop.
Gojo: Do you have a habit of breaking into other people's shops?
The doctor jumped in surprise and looked behind him.
Julian: How did you get behind me?!
Gojo: Magic.
The on-the-run murder deadpan at him.
Julian: Ha Ha very funny.
Gojo: What do you want?
Julian: Well...I am- how do I say this?
Gojo: From your mouth and no offence but your mouth looks quite "trained".
Julian blushed red.
Julian: How did we go there from a simple questioning?!
Gojo snapped his fingers.
Gojo: Like that. Anyway, you should leave before you get caught by the guards.
Julian: Yeah, you are right.
With that Julian, he quickly made his way out of the shop again from the backdoor. Our Mc goes around the house checking on the stuff and ensuring Julian didn't take anything. Gojo exited the shop and locked it behind him. Walking out he took a walk around the local area. He stopped in front of an alleyway.
Gojo: I didn't know I had a stalker. Why don't you come out and tell me what going on?
Out from the shadows, a familiar figure walked out. He was the same one that had warned Gojo before.
???: Blinly to slaughter. Just like the rest of you.
Gojo: Don't limp me with the losers. Tell who's the butcher?
???: It doesn't matter what I say. My words won't last. They never do.
Gojo: Sounds like a fun thing. I like this game of hide and seek.
Gojo began to walk away and enjoy the cold morning walk. However, he stopped and looked up.
Gojo: What's that?
Gojo disappeared from the spot. In the forests surrounding Vesuvia deep inside there were around ten people in red robes surrounding a large red circle with ruins. In the middle of it was a body made of various dead bodies stitched together. The people in robes had their hands clasped. They were chanting some unknown language.
