The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Mr.

Wagner! Ms.

Moore is missing! What? Petersons expression turned icy.

How did this happen? Cant several of you keep an eye on her? If you cant find her today, you might as well come to the hospital to face me! The man with the rabbit mask replied anxiously, Dont worry, sir.

Ill organize a search immediately! Get everyone on it! And check on Bryson too.

I suspect shell head straight to him if shes out! Yes, sir! After ending the call, the apprehension on the mans face disappeared.

He dialed another number as he walked outside.

Hows it going? Have they left? The man with the fox mask, lounging in the central control room, replied casually, Theyve all gone out.

I disabled two of the surveillance cameras, so their movements wont be recorded.

After a pause, he asked You called because our master discovered Ms.

Moore is missing, didnt you? The man with the rabbit mask answered with a hint of sarcasm. What he cares about most right now is obviously that woman.

If thats the case, lets use her to create chaos.

Remington will clash with our master.

Well just sit back and benefit from their conflict, the man in the fox mask grinned and said.

But Ms.

Moore is quite clever.

Im afraid she wont easily fall into our trap.

The man with the rabbit mask said lightly, The smarter a person is, the easier it is for them to fall into our trap.

Well, good luck to you.

The man in the fox mask then asked, Youve Let them escape.

How will you explain this to our master? He wont let this slide.

As he gestured to his associates to hasten their search for Hannah, the man with the rabbit mask moved through a secret passage, responding, I didnt release her.

He trusts the tiger and the leopard more these days.

If he thinks he can, let him replace us both right now.

Indeed, our master has shown a preference for tigers and leopards of late.

The fox-masked mans voice carried a subtle undertone of disapproval.

But we have our own strategy, dont we? Yes, if everything proceeds according to plan, well still have an escape route, even if the unexpected occurs.

The man in the rabbit mask allowed himself a nearly imperceptible smile.

For now, let them proceed with their act.

As they conspired, Conor and Bryson had already stealthily bypassed the robust defense of Twilight Dimness and were making their way toward the outer door.

The atmosphere was charged with tension and apprehension, with potential dangers lurking in every shadow.

Conor, are you certain we can make it out of here unscathed? Bryson inquired, his voice tinged with doubt. The closer we get to the door, the more heavily guarded it seems.

We nearly got caught just moments ago.

Trust me, Ive verified it multiple times.

This is the least monitored exit, Conor assured him.

Any other exit would have been swarming with guards.

Here, there are only a few, most of whom are unidentifiable.

Its easier to slip away through the back door.noveldrama

As soon as Conor and Bryson turned a corner, a faint noise from the distance caught their attention.

Conor instantly tensed, pulling Bryson into the shadows beside a narrow door to hide.

Wait a minute.

Somethings off, Conor murmured, his voice low as he strained to make out the disturbances outside.
