Rhygel doesn’t say anything more on that matter, and I continue my analysis for another few minutes.

And something pops out at me that I hadn’t noticed before.

“What is that?” I murmur to myself.

“Hey, what are you doing this weekend?” Michelle chooses the most inopportune time to ask.

“Collecting souls. Why?”

“Haha, very funny. There’s a party off the mainland. Lots of Richie Riches will be there and I scored us some invites.”

I glance up at her. Michelle’s biggest goal in life is to marry well and be a gorgeous, well-kept housewife. And who can blame her. A party like this was like Tinder for her. Swipe, swipe, swipe, yes, please and thanks!

“You know what? Count me in. I haven’t been to a Richie Rich party in forever,” I say.

“Wait, really?”

“Yup, no arm twisting needed. I’m all about Richie Riches.” That’s a lie, but maybe, just maybe, one might let slip a big BASE jumping event or something that might help the horde.

“Fantastic. I’ll pick you up Saturday.”

“It’s a date,” I say and turn back to my numbers.

To the pattern I hadn’t noticed before. A pattern that didn’t look like anything I’d seen before.

I do some digging. Extrapolation algorithms and good old fashion sleuthing in client social media accounts. Totally industry standard when dealing with potential large claims. And I figure out exactly what that pattern is.

And where it is

Rhygel. I’ve got some good news.

Did you figure out that pattern in your data set?

You noticed it too?

Yes, but I have no context for it.

The data set shows potential claims, and that pattern was a big potential for claims payout in a new set of high-value clients.

Do you know where and when the catastrophe will happen?

I do.

Then tell me everything. We’ll formulate a plan of action together.

Chapter24

Rhygel

It’s not my business.

None of it. I keep telling myself that as Lily explains how she came to her conclusion and where we could find a mass casualty event with high-value souls.

But I’m only partially listening.

A small sliver of my mind refuses to stop thinking about what must have happened between her and Malphas for his body to… to sully the living space of the dormitory with the scent of seed. It’s not common, but when doling out psychic pleasure on the human realm, some demons’ bodies react to it the same as if it were physical on our plane

And I can’t work out whether I am more mad or jealous.
