He staggered and collapsed, unconscious.
Hannah picked up the dagger from the ground.
She and her partner dragged the two unconscious men deeper into a nearby tunnel, where they secured and gagged them.
Dotson shined his flashlight on the subdued figures.
"Boss, what should we do with them? Just kill them here?" "No, not yet.
"Hannah glanced at their captives.
"Muffle them.
Someone else will handle them later.
" "Got it.

"ALL set, boss.
Then quietly, they navigated through the tunnels, encountering several groups along the way and swiftly neutralizing them without a sound.
Finally, they reached the main tunnel they had been tracking.
The tunnel gleamed under the harsh glare of lights, making it harder for them to conceal themselves.
As they neared a door that promised peril, Charlie turned, his voice low and urgent.
"Miss Moore, allowto take the lead.
It's strange how many people we've encountered on the way here.
Amelie must have left them deliberately to keep an eye out for trouble. There will likely be more guards where those girls are held.
I know these corridors like the back of my hand; I should lead the way.
We'll draw too much attention moving as a group.

" Bryson smiled, a knowing glint in his eyes.
"Courage is her calling card.
Remember the octagonal cage bouts at Blackeye? She didn't just O M e participate, she dominated. " "Truly," Kohen nodded, admiration clear in his tone.
"Hannah Moore is, without doubt, one of the bravest souls I've encountered.
" Keith, raising his glass to his lips, interjected with a smirk.
"Save your praises for later, gentlemen.
" His gaze shifted past his glass to the elevator.
"Guys, several people just entered the elevator-think there's trouble brewing for Hannak?"
Bryson carefully placed his wine glass on a nearby table and shifted e toward the elevator, where his gaze he noticed several bodyguards from Jade Paradise descending.
