Chapter 358

The empty hallway felt eerie as I walked, the silence unsettling. Where was everyone? I wondered, my steps echoing faintly against the walls.

A sudden, loud bang from outside made me freeze. My heart jumped, panic coursing through me. What was that?

A sickening thud followed as I finally reached the front. My stomach twisted at the sight before me–Evander, his fist. colliding with Warrick’s face, sending blood spraying.
