Under the gloomy night sky, a silver sports car streaked through the roads. All the other cars hurried swerved out of the way for fear of bumping into the lunatic who was speeding a luxury car through the city center.

That lunatic was none other than Maurice.

The moment he found out that something had happened to Eliana, he immediately got into his car and raced to the company.

On the way, he kept dialing Eliana’s number, only to be met with the same cold busy tone.

Maurice felt as if his heart was being grilled on a fire.

He silently prayed that Eliana could have the strength to hold on until she was found. She had to stay safe until then.

The moment Maurice arrived at the company, he saw Corbin waiting anxiously for him downstairs at the entrance of the building. Corbin had already gotten a call from Maurice earlier, asking him to get some firefighters to open the door.

Maurice got off the car and began striding towards Corbin in one swift motion. “How’s it going?”

The two of them entered the building together. Inside, the space was shrouded in pitch black darkness.

“Why are the lights off?” Maurice asked anxiously.

“Mr. Moran, the building is under maintenance, so power can’t be restored for the time being. We can only get someone to launch the emergency power. But…”
