"None of our people were left alive. They were even disembodied," Connor said. He stopped there. Spencer's expression immediately darkened, and his gaze became frosty.To this day, Connor couldn't forget what he'd seen. Even if he was used to dabbling in both legal and illegal matters, he couldn't describe the cruelty he'd witnessed. Losing several million dollars worth of gold wasn't a small matter, but the worst part was the cruel treatment the men had experienced.He'd investigated the matter for several days but had failed to find anything besides what the coin represented. Rumor had it that whenever anyone from Echelon 103 carried out their missions, they would leave such a token behind to tell the world they were behind whatever had happened.Echelon 103's members were that obnoxious and wild, perhaps because they were vagabonds with nothing holding them back.Five years ago, someone mysterious had destroyed Base 103, making the organization disappear for five years. Everyo

After leaving Spencer's office, Lucille went to the lounge in the pantry. She'd only used Mack as an excuse to leave.She was worried about Echelon 103, which she'd heard Connor bring up before leaving the office. Why had it suddenly come up? It looked like she needed to look into the matter. No matter what was going on, she didn't want Spencer to have anything to do with the organization.She made a call, which took a while to be answered. Hunter sounded pissed on the other end of the line as he said, "Who the fuck are you, disturbing my sleep? Are you—"Lucille frowned and cut him off. "It's me."Hunter was immediately jolted out of his groggy state when he heard her voice. His eyes widened, and he sat up in bed. Then, he asked hoarsely, "What's wrong?""How's your investigation going?"Hunter knew what she was asking about. He ran a hand through his hair, feeling annoyed. Still, his tone and attitude remained relatively amicable. "It hasn't even been a week, boss. Would you

At the time, Lucille had answered without hesitation, "I'd take you to the hospital to get your head checked. Something's probably wrong with it somewhere."It was an answer that suited her personality. Later, she'd said seriously, "It's not a good thing to have feelings for me. I'm used to being alone, after all."How could Hunter not understand what she'd meant? She'd meant that she'd never reciprocate his feelings and that it was possible they would end up not even being able to remain friends.And so, he'd joked, "I was just kidding. Why are you taking me so seriously? I can't even stand you as a friend, let alone a lover. You're a magnet for trouble, and I hate trouble."After that, he'd never brought up the subject again.…Lucille had hung up on Hunter, but it wasn't because she was mad at him. She'd wanted to refute him, but he'd made a valid point. This matter with Echelon 103 was indeed troublesome, and she'd yet to think of the perfect strategy to deal with them.She

The car drove past an iron gate over six feet tall. Then, it pulled over at a parking lot that looked even bigger than seven or eight basketball courts combined.That was beside the point, though. The point was that there were two helicopters parked nearby. There was an image of something similar to a tiger on them, but it wasn't a tiger.Lucille couldn't help finding the image familiar. She seemed to remember someone showing it to her before but didn't get the chance to recall where she'd seen it before Spencer said, "We're here. Let's get down."He got out of the car and held out a hand to her. She placed her hand in his and got out. She looked around the place, noting that it didn't look like a place of residence or a tourist spot.Instead, it seemed like the secret base for an organization. There were barbed wires around the perimeter, and they were probably charged with electricity. There were also surveillance cameras at every corner.She turned to Spencer and raised an eyeb

Lucille fell silent. She wondered whether the problem really was that complex. "One more question, then. You guys don't know who damaged the microchip, right?"If they knew Zing was the one who'd damaged the microchip in the first place, they wouldn't be asking her to repair it. Who would be silly enough to ask the person who'd done the damage to fix it?Ethan asked, "Wait, how did you know that? You're right, though. We haven't managed to find out who did it."At his words, Lucille knew what she had to do. "Alright, then. Take me to the place. I'll see what I can do."She looked at Spencer, sounding as humble as could be. Spencer took her to the sixth floor, after which they passed through door after door, all of which looked high-tech.After around ten minutes, they arrived at a brightly lit area. Only one sound could be heard—the tapping on keyboards.There was a gigantic screen before them, which displayed a 3D map. Clusters of red dots flashed on the map.Each person sat be

"Could you please step out too, my beloved Mr. Layton?" Lucille asked coquettishly.Spencer felt like his ears were playing tricks on him. He raised an eyebrow, wanting her to repeat her question. He hadn't heard her properly.Lucille repeated it and smiled innocently. The sight was supposed to be heartwarming, but he didn't feel like that at all.Ethan and the others, who were waiting outside, were surprised when they saw Spencer come out. Ethan teased, "My, my. Have you been kicked out, too?"Zachary chimed in, "Ah, we've finally found someone who can order you around."Connor quipped, "What goes around, comes around."Spencer was the one who'd kicked them out earlier, and Lucille had now kicked him out. This made the other three men feel much better.Spencer pursed his lips and looked at them indifferently. He could never be bothered to explain himself, and this time wouldn't be an exception to that.…Inside the room, Lucille looked serious and focused as she stared unblin

Zachary pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek and looked at Lucille meaningfully. "Everyone says you've hit the jackpot by marrying into the Layton family, Luce, but I think a certain someone is the one who's hit the jackpot with you."The news of Lucille's triumph over the virus soon spread throughout Dark Chamber. She and Spencer didn't stay for long. On their way home, she asked, "Oh, right. I saw an image of a beast on the two helicopters earlier. What was it?""A griffin."A griffin? She asked tentatively, "The guardian of treasures and places of power?"Spencer smiled at her. "You're very smart, Mrs. Layton."It was no wonder she'd found it familiar. Jonathan had shown it to her in the past. "I only know of it because Jonathan's interested in these mythical creatures. Does it represent anything?"Spencer said, "As you said, griffins guard treasures and places of power. The way I see it, justice and equality are also priceless treasures."Lucille asked, "So, yo

The address Sabrina had given Lucille yesterday led the latter to an abandoned residential development area. Weeds and wild grass were everywhere, along with potholes and unused construction materials.Lucille couldn't understand why these secret dealings always had to happen in places like these. As soon as she arrived and got out of the car, Sabrina showed up.Lucille smiled faintly and said, "My, I can't believe you're here to welcome me in person, Sabrina. It looks like whoever is inside there is more important than you."Sabrina scowled at her and said impatiently, "Hurry up."Lucille looked unfazed and remained leisurely. She shrugged and looked around while walking. "This isn't too bad a place. The scenery's nice, and the air is fresh. It's just a little out of the way; it's not too easy to drive here."Sabrina looked at her like she was a freak. How could Lucille be in the mood to take in the scenery? She even looked like she was in a pretty good mood.Why weren't things
