Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Brave Sir Fork (Runs Away)
Ferdinand goes through the list of people Richard might have contacted, and one of them tells them that Richard went to Harry for information.

From outside the navy's headquarters, Gerald contacts Harry with telepathy, and organises a meeting. Harry tells them what he told Richard, and warns them against going.

They go anyway, find The Doppelganger, and briefly fight. However, Ferdinand quickly finds that he's completely outmatched, and Gerald is unable to absorb through the doppelganger's armour of killing intent. Joe shows up in the middle of the fight, and Ferdinand flees while Gerald delays the doppelganger, using up most of his ki reserves in the process and doing little more than breaking one of the doppelganger's ribs.
