Chapter 1033: The Trump Card

Tina nodded.

The fact that Mr. Havenhart had unearthed this blueprint likely meant he had also sensed something unusual.

Lowering her head, she studied the marked red dots on the map, her finger landing on the most prominent spot. She turned to Cole Lyon and asked, "What's this place?"

Cole Lyon immediately recognized it. Lifting his head, he replied, "Serena, this is where we last discovered the gold and silver jewelry. We've already combed through it once and found nothing suspicious."

Tina continued examining the map. The points marked by Mr. Havenhart were mostly in deep underground basements or peculiar spots in the yard, like artificial hills and pavilions.

But one location stood out to her as particularly suspicious.

She pointed it out to Cole Lyon, but he couldn't immediately recognize where it was.

Jared squinted slightly, speaking slowly, "Judging by the layout, this spot should belong to the main building. The innermost section should be the study."

The group soon found themselves standing in front of a deep crimson, antique door. The lock was merely decorative to them.

The furnishings within the study remained untouched. With the early construction blueprints in hand, locating the hidden room inside wasn't too difficult.

The real challenge was the key to open it.

The lock required a matching fingerprint to activate.

The security level was high, and Cole Lyon didn't dare act recklessly, fearing it might trigger an explosive device.

Tina stepped closer with the equipment in hand. Just as she was about to take action, a concealed weapon suddenly came flying through the window, aimed directly at her temple with lethal intent.

Glass shattered across the floor, but Tina stood completely still.

Before anyone could react, Jared moved. At the same time, Tina focused her energy, creating a barrier that deflected the threat effortlessly.

Looking up, she spotted a figure on the distant rooftop dressed in black. In the blink of an eye, the figure vanished.

Tina's gaze turned icy.

In that moment, she hadn't sensed any presence from the other side.

Hayden's face darkened. Watching the direction where the figure disappeared, he leaped off the balcony. "Serena, Jared, stay here. I'll go after him!"

Courtney and Cole Lyon quickly stepped in front of Tina, clearly shaken by the unexpected attack. Neither of them had detected the intruder's presence.

Jared's eyes were as cold as ice. "A death squad."
