They were conflicted. Edgar smirked and continued, “All the restroom windows in the old mansion were sealed to prevent accidents. If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourselves.”

As he spoke, Edgar walked into the restroom and, in front of the bodyguards, tested the window.

The bodyguards themselves tried to open the window, confirming that it couldn’t be opened. They then inspected the entire restroom, finding only a ventilation duct on the ceiling. However, the duct was very small and didn’t seem capable of accommodating an adult male.

Seeing the bodyguards hesitate, Edgar continued, “My stomach’s not feeling well. It might take fifteen minutes. I appreciate your patience.”

The two bodyguards agreed.

“But you only have fifteen minutes. If you’re not out by then, we won’t care what you’re doing inside.”

Edgar nodded, and the bodyguards turned and stood by the door. He locked the door behind them and quickly stepped onto the sink, opening the ventilation duct on the ceiling.

In fact, when the ventilation duct was designed, an escape route was specifically built for emergencies.

From the outside, the duct seemed small, but once opened, there was a hidden mechanism. Half a brick was attached to the iron mesh of the duct, making it difficult to notice.

Inside, there were two paths: one leading to the villa’s rooftop and the other to the back door.

When he first entered the old mansion, he heard unusual bird calls coming from above, so he chose the route to the rooftop.

Although the duct was just enough to accommodate him, it was still a tight fit. With his 188 cm height, he had to crouch and crawl forward, and halfway through, he was already sweating profusely and his waist
