Duke knew in his heart that the Crawford Clan must have sensed something; they must have been aware of Bell's death and sensed the presence of the curse on Duke's side at that fleeting moment. They likely knew the exact location, albeit briefly, but it was uncertain if they could determine Duke's position in that instant. Harbor City, just this one location, was enough for the Crawford Clan to ascertain a lot of information. This place was Black Sail's territory, and also one of the locations of the Void Corridor's Teleportation Array. The existence of the curse flickered briefly, appearing in Harbor City, making it nearly certain for the Crawford Clan that it was Black Sail who took out Bell. Assuming the Crawford Clan could capture this fleeting information, otherwise, as long as the curse power on Duke could still be suppressed, the Crawford Clan wouldn't know who killed Bell for the time being. Samuel certainly knew they were the culprits, but he wouldn't have thought Bell was angered to death by Duke. Samuel naturally had ways to handle their household's curse but didn't have the chance to kill Bell personally before escaping. Then Duke and Merrick split up; he went to find Lady Hela, while Merrick went back to find a solution to this curse. He quickly contacted Lady Hela, but there was no reply from her side, possibly because she was busy refining magic potions and couldn't be distracted to respond. Due to the pressing time, Duke could only contact Reela, sending a message asking: "Reela, is Lady Hela around?" Reela was still working at Lady Hela's place, responsible for refining magic potions and other tasks. Reela happened to be free and quickly replied: "Teacher Hela has already left and went to another plane, joining the scout team for assistance investigation."
