“Zeke, come and save me! I-I’ve been kidnapped.”
“Lacey, where are you?”
Before she could reply to him, Julian had snatched the phone away from her.
Lacey shouted, “I’m on Highway 405! Save me!”
The alarm in her mind were screeching.
Her life was no longer just hers alone.
She had another life in her stomach!
Lacey was not even sure if Zeke had heard the location she shouted.
Throwing Lacey’s phone out of the window, Julian took out his own to call Bloodsworth.
“Everything is going according to plan. Zeke has been lured out of Atheville. Act now.”
What? Lacey raised her head in terror as she stared at Julian.
Did he say that he has successfully lured Zeke out of Atheville? This... This is a trap! He meant to lure Zeke! Zeke is

However, her phone was now lying somewhere along the expressway, and there was no way for her to warn Zeke.
Despair overwhelmed her senses, and at that moment, she felt like dying.
Cygnus Room was located at its temporary base in Atheville.
It was the best scientific research lab in Eurasia.
Every piece of information in the room was a national top secret.
They also had the best defenses, and it would be impossible for even a fly to enter the compounds without alerting
the guards.
The Great Marshal was hurrying into Cygnus Room.
However, this man was not the real Great Marshal.
It was Bloodsworth.
When he reached the doorway, the guard called out, “Great Marshal, please stop.”
Bloodsworth halted and shot a glare at the guard. “I’m the founder of Cygnus Room. Am I not allowed into the
room now?”
The guard answered respectfully, “Great Marshal, you’ve misinterpreted my words. Didn’t you receive an urgent
call and leave just now? Why are you back so soon?”
The fake Great Marshal replied, “I have found out that the urgent call was fake. I suspect that someone is trying to
lure me away from this place so that they can infiltrate the Cygnus Room. Heighten the defenses at the entrance.
I’ll be defending Cygnus Room from the inside. We’ll work together just so the enemy don’t get their way.”
“Yes, Sir!” The guard answered with a somber expression on his face.
Hence, the fake Great Marshal managed to infiltrate into the Cygnus Room’s treasury.
On the shelves of the treasury were various custom-made safes.
In these safes were the rare plants of Eurasia.
Bloodsworth knew what the market price for these plants were.
If he took them out to sell, the profits would be more than enough to take over a small country.
However, he knew that it was unrealistic for him to take out all of these plants.

When he opened the safe closest to him, he found out that it was empty!
What’s going on? Bloodsworth hurriedly opened another.
Similarly, it was empty.
So was the third, fourth, fifth...
By the time he opened the sixth, he was not surprised to find it empty as well.
A foreboding thought emerged in his heart. This can’t be a trap, can it?
From the corner of his eye, he could see an unnaturally shaped darkness behind the shelf.
It looked like... a person!
Buzz!
Bloodsworth was dumbfounded. There’s someone in here? And they didn’t stop me when I was looking for the
plant. It’s a trap and I’ve stepped right into it!
Without a moment of hesitation, he turned to escape.
However, he only took a step before the world spun around him, and he could feel his legs turn to jelly.
