Helen's breath caught in her throat, and in panic, she released the cart and darted into the elevator. Her heart pounded wildly as she frantically pounded on the elevator buttons, unaware of the floor she was on. As the elevator doors slid open, she bolted out, fleeing in utter disarray.

But underestimating the guards, especially with Theodore's people stationed throughout the entire building, proved a grave mistake.

As Helen emerged, several black-clad figures scoured the area in pursuit.

Anxiety overwhelmed her, her limbs trembling as she tried to evade them. In her haste, she stumbled on a door and found herself in an empty office.

The office sprawled out spaciously, with no one inside.
