At the top of the stairs was a door. Opening it revealed a control room filled with computers, where seven women in black suits were seated at workstations—they appeared to be the female enforcers of this place.
When they saw her, they immediately formed a line, blocking her path.
One of them, who appeared to be the leader, sneered, "Miss Lockwood, you're quite something. Taking down Number 0028 and escaping the room... it only took you thirty seconds. Impressive..."
She even applauded to emphasize her point.
"A pity. No matter what you try, you'll never escape. Of course, if you'd like to test that theory, be my guest..." she said, gesturing politely while cracking her knuckles, clearly ready for a fight.
Stella Lockwood had no idea how skilled these women were, but she knew escaping from them was unrealistic at her current level. 'Besides, my priority isn't to escape. It's to find Rhea Vaughn.'
