He quickly took out his cell phone and sent Odalys a message: [Mis. Stewart, there’s something wrong with this hotel |
Unexpectedly, as soon as the message was sent, a “ding” sounded, and it houted back with a notification: Message failed to send. He glanced at his phone screen and noticed there was no signal.
The glaring red “X” at the top of the screen confirmed it.
Donan frowned but quickly calmed down.
He massaged his brow, then walked towards Room 378, which was at the end of the corridor. Just as he raised his hand to knock the door creaked

Who are you” Where’s my girlfriend?” Dorian asked, feigning confusion.
The faces of these men were familiar. They were the same sleazy ones from the video he’d seen earlier.
Though Dorian knew this was the case, he deliberately acted frightened and panicked, prompting the men to burst into mocking laughter. “Girlfriend” Seriously! Old man, are you so desperate for a woman that you’ve lost your mind? You’re really helpless. The scruffy man sneered. He

Dillys strode in with confident steps. The men froze in disbelief, only to be swiftly taken down by Dorian.
“Don’t move!” Francis and Stellan rushed forward as well
Sensing danger, the men whirled around, hoping to escape through the window, their prearranged escape route. However, just as they were about to jump, ropes suddenly ensnared them, jerking them back..
They crashed to the floor.
Realizing something was wrong, they fumbled for their phones, only to find their pockets empty.
Even the slowest among them now understood they had fallen into a trap. As they wanted to shout for help, no sound came out. The leader’s face paled as he stared at Odalys in shock

As she stepped inside. Freya and Selah slipped in after her, slamming the door shut with a resounding bang.
Both of them looked pale and out of breath
They rushed up to Odalys, grabbed her arm, and gasped, “We think we just saw a ghost.”
Odalys narrowed her eyes, her expression darkening.
“This place is indeed filled with negative energy,” she said.
Freya swallowed hard, trying to compose herself before saying, “While we were running up the stairwell, we saw Lucian.”

He had a terrible impression of Lucian
Lucian would stoop to any level, even attempted murder, just to curry f

“But Freya and I saw him. He was at the corner of the seventh floor and entered a room. Selah whispered.
Odalys stood there, deep in thought, her gaze shifting to the men lying on the floor.
“Let’s deal with these guys fint,” she said.
She stepped forward as Dorian delivered a series of heavy kicks to their bodies. The men groaned in pain, but no sound came from their throats. They could only glare at their captors with resentment,
“Mmph, mmph” they tried to speak but could produce no sound.
Oddys looked down at them coldly, her gaze finally resting on the scruffy man. “Do you want to live or die?”
The scruffy than moved his lips, but no sound emerged.

Her words contamed the maps connection to Hannals.
Everyone is as sumed into silence. Even Dorian was taken aback and blurted out, “What do you mean? Is he one of Mrs. Bennett’s people“:
Odalys said. “It seems he’s related to Hannah by blood, probably cousins. He’s also a murderer. At least two victims that I can confirm. Hannah must have baded bin out”
She continued. Their plan was to use his criminal record to manipulate him, sending him to get close to you and lure you out. If successful, they’d replace your identity, use your phone to contact the Stewart family.“
