Two Unespected Encounters
Once on Yrall Road, royal guards will inform you that there is an investigation underway and that for the moment you cannot proceed. Then head to McNeil Village. If you go through the farm and talk to the villagers, you will find that the suspect is actually McNeil. Once in the village, Garr will ask you if there is an inn nearby. So go to the inn. The innkeeper will inform you that the tiger you met on Ogre Road has fled into Cedar Woods. When you offer to take care of that monster, she will let you rest for free.
Then head to the Cedar Woods, where the ruins of Rei's house are. Once on the spot, Ryu will have a flahback. He then proceeds to Rei's house alone, to discover that the tiger was none other than Rei. Rei will recognize you and he will be happy to know that you are alive, but he has no idea what happened to Teepo. He will also tell you that he is now using his power to take revenge on the people Balio and Sunder worked for and that he won't stop until he gets justice. After that, he will flee again.
Return to the village. You will discover that Rei has seriously injured Loki. Then go to the McNeil Manor. You will find out that Nina had McNeil arrested for his crimes. Nina will be very happy to see you again. After telling her what has happened since you separated from Angel Tower, she will join you and suggest that you go to Sin City, to finish the investigation.
