There was nowhere else to hide things here. Even the documents were on the desk or somewhere visible.
“Something’s weird about this,” Mike mumbled to himself.
Upon hearing his voice, Lily turned subconsciously. “What is weird?”
She followed his gaze and noticed the unusualness as well. She frowned because this entire office had a strange vibe to it.
“Did we just walk into their trap?” Mike was starting to find things strange and looked at the safe again. “I suspect the things we
want aren't inside here either.”
Lily retracted her hand and did not touch the safe anymore. Her gaze turned darker. “No, it's the exact opposite. What we want is
precisely inside here.”

Mike was puzzled.
‘If that were the case, what are they waiting for? Or is Lily unable to open the safe as well?’
Lily straightened her back and yelled, “Cout!”
At that moment, Mike felt like a fool. He had been looking around wearily but did not notice someone else’s presence. Although he
guessed this was a trap set up for them and someone was waiting to capture them, he did not catch sight of the person.
However, Lily seemed to be confident that someone was there.
“Stop hiding. Aren't you here to look for something too? Plus, you didn’t find it as well, did you?” Lily continued.
Still, there was no response, and no one cout.
Mike searched again and found no one, making him look at Lily doubtfully. “Is there really shere? Or are you just tricking...”
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lily lift her hand and suddenly throw something at the speed of light. Mike only felt a gust
of cold wind blowing past his face. Soon, a man emerged from the direction Lily had swung her hand in earlier.
Mike was astonished. He had to admit he was bewildered.
Everything that had happened was beyond his imagination. He did not know those with tremendous combat skills could tell where
someone was hiding without looking around. Plus, he did not realize someone was hiding in the office.
The other party wore black clothes with a black mask covering his face. Only his eyes were visible.
Mike instantly becwary. “Who are you?”
He never expected to see someone else with ulterior motives besides him and Lily to be in this place.

‘Are there other people wanting to find the organization's secrets, too? Or is this man from the organization waiting to capture us
here?’
He could not figure out the other party's identity for stime. He had to be wary. However, Lily said nothing and stared at the
other party silently. The other party's build and features were the sas the person who had helped her in the lab the other day.
She found him familiar but could not pinpoint who he was. Now that they were facing each other and met gazes, she instantly
knew who he was, even though she could only see his eyes. She felt conflicted about his appearance.
Surprise, doubtfulness, confusion, and anger were what she felt.
The other party had a silver needle in his hand. It was the needle Lily had thrown earlier, but the other party was agile and
managed to catch it.
He said nothing but stared at Lily and Mike in silence.
“Edward, is that you?” Lily suddenly asked.
