The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Beyond the door, a group of staff in Twilight Dimness uniforms gathered around a commanding figure clad in a tiger mask.

Their voices, laden with nervousness and anxiety, reached Conor and Bryson, revealing their concern word by word.

Boss, did you hear that?! The surveillance footage from the main control room has been tampered with, and several key recordings have vanished! What? How did Fox handle this? Did you question him? the man in the tiger mask responded sharply.

His subordinate quickly replied, Tonights event is crucial.

Fox had sent his team to oversee the main venue.

When he returned and noticed the discrepancies, he reported them to the head honcho.

It looks like we might end up being blamed.

The tiger-masked mans mood soured immediately.noveldrama

His team was poorly managed.

Why should we take the fall? With evident trepidation, his aide added, The head honcho is already aware. Im afraid were going to get dragged into this… Upon hearing this, the tiger-masked man paused abruptly, his followers mirroring his actions, plunging the atmosphere into a heavy silence.

Investigate at once.

I dont care how you do it; I need to know whos responsible.

Check every camera, and make sure we track down the culprit! The tiger-masked mans voice carried a weight of unquestionable authority.

Bryson and Conor exchanged glances, a silent flash of understanding passing between them.

Clearly, their attempted escape had not gone unnoticed by Twilight Dimness, complicating their situation further.

Once the group had moved away, Conor cautiously peeked out to survey their surroundings.

We need to pick up the pace.

Theyve started their investigation, he whispered urgently.

With renewed haste, the pair quickened their steps, darting through the narrow passageways of the building, which resembled a complex labyrinth where danger lurked at every turn.

Bryson paused, his gaze hardening with determination.

First, we get out and meet with Hannah.

Well figure out the rest later.

But now, were like birds trapped in a cage, unable to escape the net no matter how hard we try, Conor replied with a bitter laugh.

I never imagined Id end up collaborating with you after everything.

Bryson shot him a brief look, his tone dry.

Youre getting sentimental now.

You werent this type of person before.

Just then, a faint light appeared at the end of the corridor, a beacon of hope signaling the outside world. However, as they drew closer, they spotted two guards under the light seemingly lax but keenly alert.

Its tricky.

There are still guards here! Conor muttered under his breath, his brow furrowing.

Brysons eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation, quickly devising a strategy.

Conor, Ill draw their attention.

You use that moment to sneak past them.

Be fast! After a brief pause to steel himself, Conor nodded firmly, understanding the gravity of the plan.

Bryson stepped forward boldly.

As he walked past the two guards, they promptly stopped him.

Hey, where did you come from? one guard demanded impatiently.
