Chapter 139

Outside the manor, Theon received the alert. His body tensed, and without a second thought, he ignored all obstacles and rushed inside.

He sprinted through the manor, following the Intelligent Brain’s guidance straight to the rooftop.

The females at the gathering were stunned.

Alicia was the first to react and followed him upstairs. “What happened?”

By the window, Nyx and Meli were still standing there, looking up at the stars. Hearing the commotion, they both turned their heads.

Seeing that Nyx was unharmed, Alicia let out a sigh of relief.

But Theon suddenly spoke, his voice urgent. “Quick–does this place have a secret passage?”

“What?” Alicia was stunned. “There is… there is…”

There was indeed a secret passage on the top floor, but she wondered why Theon was asking about it.

Still in a daze, Alicia led Theon around two corners to a hidden door, only to find it open. She was shocked. She thought, ‘What’s going on? Who has opened this door?‘

She turned to look at Nyx and Meli, only to see them drawing their weapons, aiming at her and Theon.

“Bionics?” Alicia suddenly realized and let out a scream.

In just two seconds, Theon swiftly took action and severed the Bionics‘ cores.

Without hesitation, he picked up Nyx’s Intelligent Brain from the biotic’s body, dashed through the hidden door, and pursued the direction where Nyx might have been taken.

What was supposed to be a girls‘ gathering had turned into a shocking disaster, bringing the event to an abrupt halt.

The Security Bureau and Female Protection Association personnel quickly arrived, and when they learned that the suspect who had kidnapped Nyx was also female, they were in disbelief

Alicia was even more overwhelmed with panic.

She had organized this gathering. She wasn’t afraid of taking responsibility, and she blamed herself, but she simply couldn’t understand why Meli was there.

She and Meli had been friends for many years. Meli had always been well–behaved, with hardly any faults

The only issue was her tendency to lose all sense of reason when in love–whenever she got into a relationship, her intelligence plummeted. She was constantly deceived by some bad males, losing money, body, and heart, even helping the seller after she was sold out.

“Oh…” Alicia pressed a hand to her forehead.
