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."

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.

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."
