Good, let’s follow the map Orren Beaumont gave us and head straight to Elwood Thorneycroft,” Marco Pendleton took a map out of his chest, studied it for a moment, and pointed inside, “Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five people moved with extremely light footsteps, vanishing instantly at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they had entered, another group appeared outside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Leocadia, when do we go in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush!

Take the person with us first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaxston hesitated for a moment before sliding the dagger back into his waistband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the control room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fabian Percival had quietly arranged for someone to install a hidden camera in Elwood Thorneycroft’s room while she was out at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jaxston draw his blade, his eyes narrowed into slits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go in immediately, kill everyone!
