Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1377

Sophie nudged Gordon into the elevator, and he casually pressed the button for B2.

When it came to a halt on the second basement level, Gordon simply said, "Let's head out."

"Alright." Sophie replied, pushing Gordon out of the lift and into the basement corridor.

Sophie had never ventured to the Aldridge family's second basement before. She imagined it'd be a parking lot or maybe a wine cellar. But to her surprise, the elevator doors opened to reveal an archive room. The space was lined with cabinets that looked like they belonged in a history museum, each labeled with Roman numerals. It was clear this place didn't see much foot traffic.

Taking it all in, Sophie asked, "Mr. Gordon, is this the Aldridge family's old intelligence hub?"

"Indeed," Gordon replied with a hint of nostalgia. "This used to be the intelligence archive, but... it's been out of commission for years now."

"Yes, it is."

"Alright then."
