Chapter 24: Failing The Mission?
’If that happens, won’t that be considered a failure of my mission? Then my ability...?’
Sylvia felt a splitting headache surge through her skull, as though she were trapped in an endless loop with no escape.
If she chose not to use her ability against them, then Matthew and Axel would flee with the upgrade crystal.
But if she did use it to stop them, Matthew would simply activate his own ability to destroy it.
No matter what decision she made, none of it would end in her favor.
Matthew stared at her with cold, indifferent eyes, silently waiting for her response.
Leo, who stood nearby, frowned at Matthew’s words. He couldn’t understand the purpose of this mysterious woman interfering in their plans, but he absolutely couldn’t let the upgrade crystal be destroyed.
Just like Matthew and Sylvia, the upgrade crystal was of immense importance to him.
As tension hung in the air, a faint voice echoed from outside.
"Why are there traces of dust on the walls? It looks like this place has been infiltrated."
"Everyone stay on high alert. We’re not sure how strong the intruder is."
"Hurry, we can’t allow anything to be taken from the monolith!"
