Chapter 1690

Under Randy's threat, Lara didn't dawdle. She swiped her fingerprint, and the infrared beams blinked out.

"My clearance only kills the lasers for three minutes," she said. "Taking me like this only slows you down. Let me go, and I swear I won't pull anything."

"Three minutes? Then hustle," Randy snorted.

She was full of schemes. Cutting her loose brought him nothing but danger. He would not fall for it.

Lara kept her cool and led him toward the end of the hall.

The place was futuristic, loaded with tech Randy had never even seen. Only people with the code could get in.

Now that she had removed restrictions, it was now just another regular hallway.

At the end stood a massive door. She spoke. "Our master is behind that. I can't go in, but I'll open it for you."

"Do it quickly," he urged.

She stepped to the side and used facial recognition. The door slid open, revealing a dark room.

As he scoped it out, she broke free and tried to shove him in.

Quick in reaction, he yanked her back, and they both stumbled through the door. The source of thɪs content is Fɪnd-Novel.net

It slammed shut behind them.

He lunged to pry it open. Lara sneered, "Save your energy. It can be opened only from outside, and that requires our master's permission."

"You screwing with me?" He stabbed his knife into her shoulder. "You're the Illuminati's golden girl, right? With his pet like this, he'll show his face."

Randy raised the knife for another go, but the room suddenly lit up.

He looked up at the lights and saw some patterns.

The sun was beaming warm yellow, and the phoenix was glowing a cold red. It was creepy.

"Quit playing games and show yourself," he shouted, his voice reverberating through the room.

A minute later, a guy in a black robe stepped out from the shadows.

Lara's eyes lit up. Ignoring her pain, she staggered forward. "Master..."

"Where'd you stash Erica? Hand her over," Randy demanded.

"Barging in alone like this, you're reckless and unlike my son at all," Enoch said, pulling off his mask.
