The room fell into a suffocating silence after Raven's message.
Good morning, Miss Antonov.
The hunt has officially begun.
—Raven
Nobody spoke.
Not Simon. Not Lucien. Not even Aciel.
The photographs displayed on Xylia's phone remained visible for several long seconds.
Someone had been watching her inside the hospital.
While she sat beside Liliana.
While she walked through the halls.
While she believed she was safe.
Aciel's expression darkened dangerously.
"Lock down the hospital."
The order came instantly.
Several nearby guards immediately moved. "Yes, Young Master."
Lucien took the phone from Xylia and carefully examined the images.
"The angles are different."
Simon frowned.
"What does that mean?"
"Multiple people."
The atmosphere immediately became colder.
Lucien handed the phone back.
"At least three operatives."
Simon cursed under his breath.
"So Raven has eyes inside the hospital."
"Had," Aciel corrected coldly.
His black eyes turned murderous.
