Unnoticed, two silhouettes advanced toward the elevator.
Reaching a corner near the elevator, which was still under surveillance by a vigilant bodyguard, Bryson stepped forward to press the call button but was immediately intercepted.
“Access to the second and third floors is restricted to outside guests for the next two days. Please step back,” the guard stated firmly.
Bryson fixed a cold stare on the man blocking his path. “And what if I need to go up?”
The guards at the door immediately tensed and stepped in front of Bryson. “Sir, please don’t make things difficult for us.”
At that moment, Kohen walked over and deliberately asked, aiming to divert the attention of the two guards, “What’s the problem here?”
“They’ve closed off the upper floors to visitors for the next couple of days,” Bryson replied.
Upon seeing Kohen, one of the guards relaxed slightly. “I’m sorry, sir. We-“
Before the guards could finish their sentences, Kohen and Bryson quickly neutralized them with swift, precise strikes.
They dragged the unconscious guards into the dressing room and secured them tightly.
With no further obstructions, Bryson and Kohen made their way back to the elevator and descended to the basement’s second floor.
Meanwhile, in the tunnel, Hannah glanced anxiously at her phone.
“Time’s up. Charlie hasn’t sent any messages yet. We should go in and check.”
Dotson nodded, ready to lead. “Boss, follow behind me. There might be an ambush ahead.”
Upon reaching the door, Hannah and Dotson positioned themselves on opposite sides of the door.
They exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement before simultaneously pushing the door open.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A sudden burst of gunfire erupted from within.
“Ahhh! Ah.”
“Help! Help! Help!”
